@CNBCTV18News Shame on you, losers!!

Our story on government considering tax/cess on foreign travel is not accurate. We withdraw the story and regret the error.

Taking Northeast tourism to new heights, quite literally! 3,200 meters above sea level and a breathtaking 3.2 km ropeway ride through the skies, Bhaleydhunga Skywalk is set to place Sikkim on top of the world with what is expected to be the world’s highest skywalk.

@SupriyaShrinate @Pawankhera Awww 😜

The Assam police detaining @Pawankhera ji for hours under the pretext of interrogation is sheer harassment. It is undemocratic and ill intentioned. Because asking questions is NOT a crime and those in power need to be accountable.

@CalltoActivism @avgmdus This clown deserves no better 😂

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Donald Trump has arrived in China to find that President XI did NOT greet him at the airport. MAGA is in spin mode heralding the “red carpet treatment,” but the visit is already at a rocky start. Instead of a presidential welcome, Trump was greeted by US Ambassador to China David Perdue; Xi’s vice president, Han Zheng; China’s Ambassador to Washington Xie Feng; and Executive Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Ma Zhaoxu. I’m sure Trump would hate if you shared this and rubbed it in all day long.

Update your composer NOW! 👀

As much as #1 holds true for me, I don’t think there will ever be a time where I ‘do not want to computer (or coding). If anything, it is quite the opposite. 💻 😍

@__Injaneb96 Pakistanis are DUMB people, no point expecting them to understand nuances between race, geographical area et al 🤷‍♂️

I got an email this morning calling me a “racist” for saying one simple thing: I hate Pakistan. Let’s clear the air. Pakistan is not a race. It is a country. Just like you can say “I hate America” without being branded a bigot, I can say I hate Pakistan, a country that sheltered Osama bin Laden, birthed the Taliban, and continues to export extremism and Islamism to this day. This is not about skin color. This is about reality. Pakistan has been a factory for terrorism, a safe haven for jihadists, and a relentless source of global instability. Facts don’t care about your feelings. So yes, I hate Pakistan.🇵🇰 And I’ll say it louder for the people in the back. Cry harder.

“Western media does not hate just Modi. They’ve hated Indira Gandhi and Manmohan Singh, they used to call them snakes.” — Runjhun Sharma exposes media bias against India. “If Mr Modi, for example, says something to a Muslim, he’s Islamophobic. If the leader in France bans burqas, that’s nothing. That’s not making global headlines.” She highlights how Western media systematically portrays the country through the lens of “slums and poverty” while downplaying its achievements. Full breakdown on the Sanchez Effect.

Si estás usando npm install, estás en peligro. ¡Así de crudo te lo cuento para que reacciones! Ayer se comprometieron paquetes de TanStack en npm. De las bibliotecas más usadas en el mundo JavaScript. Y de ahí saltó a Mistral, OpenSearch, UiPath, PyPI... Porque muchos ataques no necesitan que importes nada. Basta con una instalación para infectarte. ¿Cómo? Colando scripts como preinstall o postinstall que se ejecutan durante la instalación. Lo importante es que tiene solución: ① Usa pnpm 11 Viene con defensas por defecto contra este tipo de ataques. ② Si sigues usando pnpm 10, npm, yarn o bun Activa minimumReleaseAge y ponle 1440. Evita instalar versiones publicadas el mismo día. ③ Bloquea scripts de instalación por defecto pnpm evita que cualquier dependencia ejecute código en tu máquina solo por instalarla. Por favor, comparte esto para que le llegue al máximo número de personas y paremos la cadena de ataques.

🚨 How the TanStack npm attack actually happened: 1. Attacker opened a normal-looking pull request (#7378) on the TanStack repo. 2. GitHub automatically ran CI tests on that PR. 3. Code inside the PR stole the workflow's GitHub Actions Cache write token during the test run. 4. The attacker used that token to plant poisoned files in the shared build cache. The PR could be closed afterwards. The poisoned cache stays. 5. The official release workflow later pulled from the cache, baked the malicious files into the build, and signed and published 84 malicious package versions to npm.

🚨 There's a major attack going on via npm right now. Do not install any packages right now. Talk to your agent ASAP and check if you're vulnerable or have been compromised. This is urgent ‼️

I've been coding for 40 years. Here are the top 5 things I wish I knew when I started. 1. 90% of the job is debugging and fixing, not creating new code. Which is still fun if you're good at it. I used to think programming was mostly writing fresh, clever stuff. In reality, most of your time is spent in other people's (or your own past self's) messy code, chasing down why something that "should" work doesn't. Get really good at debugging early. Learn assembly reading, call stacks, and kernel debuggers. It pays off hugely. The best engineers I saw were absolute magicians at this. 2. Manage complexity from day one (ie: don't write slop and "fix it later" if it goes somewhere). Very early on, I'd hammer out code and refactor afterward. Big mistake. Now I start with clean, skeletal structure (minimalism first) and flesh it out carefully, with AI or not. Messy code compounds and becomes unfixable. Upfront discipline on architecture, naming, and simplicity saves enormous pain later, especially in large systems like Windows. 3. Tools and processes matter more than you think We suffered with basic diff/manual deltas instead of modern source control like Git. Branching, testing, and good tooling would have made porting and collaboration way smoother. Invest in your environment, automation, and reproducible builds early. Good tools amplify your output; bad ones (or none) drag everything down. 4. Understand the problem and existing code deeply before writing Don't jump straight to coding. Map out the problem, study what's already there (you'll inherit a lot), and plan. Low-level knowledge (hardware quirks, alignment issues on different architectures like MIPS/Alpha) was crucial. Also: assert early and often. It forces clarity. 5. People, politics, and "the right tool for the job" beat pure tech arguments. Brilliant engineers still argue endlessly. Sometimes it's about ego, not merit. Learn to spot the difference and "steer" the conversation rather than "winning" it. Bonus from experience: Side projects like Task Manager (started at home because I wanted the tool) can become your biggest hits. Ship small, useful things often. If you're just starting, focus on fundamentals, patterns over syntax, and building resilience for the long haul. It's going to be a wild ride, but the fundamentals still matter.

I’ve rarely seen a bigger bunch of whiners than us Indians right now. The Prime Minister announced basic austerity steps because of the global oil and gas crisis triggered by the war in Iran. Countries worldwide are responding sensibly: raising fuel prices, shifting to four-day work weeks, shortening school hours, even ramping up coal production. And a lot more. None of this is their fault, but they’re doing what needs to be done to tide over the crisis and stand up to a bully called Trump. Here in India? Supposedly mature people are throwing tantrums on TV and social media about working from home, missing weekend trips to Dubai, or not being able to fill up their tanks freely, or schools going online, or not being able to buy gold. Some are even threatening to buy extra fuel just to spite the government.🤦‍♂️ Others are hectoring the Prime Minister to fly Economy on his global visits or attend these events online. Yeah, see, they told him. And just won for themselves a weekend trip in Timbuctoo. And it’s not like the Prime Minister said we are on the verge of a crisis. We have oil and gas for 60 days and tankers are already on their way. But, does that help? Nope, We moan and whine like he asked us to give up our cars, food and holidays. Like he asked us to stop breathing. They think paying taxes entitles them to do that. In case you hadn’t noticed there’s a war out there and it’s cutting off essential supplies to the world. When will supposedly enlightened Indians understand that this is a crisis not of our doing? We had two options. Get on our knees and fellate a megalomaniacal bully like Pakistan is doing. Or stand up to him. And yes, when we do that, we’re bound to get bruised. The upwardly mobile middle class Indian is just fucking spoilt. Seriously, some of them should be airdropped into Iran or Lebanon to get an idea of what those guys are up against every day.

@HPhobiaWatch Not from Silchar!!

Video from Silchar, Assam Himanta Biswa Sarma is taking oath today

@ImMeme0 Funny because they want to be in public but they also don’t want to be in public 😂😂 Maggots 😂😂

Muslim immigrant Walmart employees started harassing an American shopper who was simply recording her own shopping trip. One cursed at her, and the other made a cut-throat gesture across her neck, threatening her not to post the video. All while wearing the official “Happy to Help” vests. This is what unchecked “diversity” looks like in your local store. These two need to be fired because they don’t belong in jobs serving the American public with this kind of third-world behavior.

@himantabiswa 😍 😍

With the blessings of Maa Kamakhya, Mahapurush Srimanta Sankardev and the people of Assam, I took oath as the Chief Minister. Along with the Council of Ministers, we look forward to serving our people and continue to fulfill all their aspirations.

@DrNimoYadav Why is an antinational, fake news peddler worried about it? Working on a new toolkit, eh?😜

No, he isn’t an Assamese leader. He is Sergio Gor, US Ambassador to India, who has arrived in Guwahati to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Assam’s Chief Minister in this strategically important border state. Why is the Indian government allowing this?

I am happy that at such a high level in Israel the Pakistani bot farm and fake accounts menace is being recognized and talked about. Kudos to PM @netanyahu for calling it out. Many Indians and myself have been calling this war on India out for years on X. But I always feel sad that India has been very apathetic towards this infowar, not even acknowledging it, by a bankrupt and much weaker Pakistan that's able to: - Divide and weaken India using internal issues - Destroy India's soft power in other countries - Antagonize our neighbors against India - Help bring about regime change in some countries - Hit India's export and inbound tourism economy And it is not just Pakistan. There are other bigger powers behind Pakistan that utilize its network to influence India and Indians. Mostly, to turn the gullible and young against our own government and nation. My humble request: - Setup a social media and media monitoring cell. - Setup a reporting tool for citizens to use. - Collect data and analytics first. If we start from such basics, in no time India can get a hold on the narrative war and not just counter it but also go on the offensive. Remember, offense is the best defense. It will shut them up once they learn we can hit back hard and destroy their credibility and economy using just information.
