Dependency

In its latest petition to a parliamentary standing committee, the Society of Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles said India needed the FAME III policy, tweaking a few rules and extending the subsidy scheme by another few years to see the EV (electric vehicle) revolution in the country.FAME, short for faster adoption and manufacturing of hybrid and electric vehicles, is a central government incentive scheme aimed at encouraging the adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles. The document by SMEV highlighted that FAME I and II…

Keep your project reproducible and your complex Python dependencies organizedPhoto by John Barkiple on UnsplashMost Python projects of consequence have complex dependency management requirements that are inadequately addressed by common open-source solutions. Some tools try to tackle the entire packaging experience, while others aim to solve one or two narrow subproblems. Despite the myriad solutions, developers still face the same dependency management challenges:How can new users and contributors easily and correctly…

Digging into this extremely useful though often neglected design patternA picture of a syringe, because this is about dependency INJECTIONS, do you get it? Ha ha ha. Ok, was trying to crack a little joke, but I’m afraid it was a VEIN attempt. Do you get it? Ha ha ha. (I’m sorry). Photo by Diana Polekhina on UnsplashDependency injection as a concept is neither sexy nor cool, as pretty much any design pattern. And despite that, when properly harnessed, it is extremely useful — again, as pretty much any design pattern.…

Modern life.(A screenshot from the Samsung ad.) Chris Matyszczyk/ScreenshotThere are moments in each day when you may not like yourself so much.Some of those moments may be wrapped in the realization that you are now a tool of technology.You don't control it half as much as it seems to control you.The worst feelings, perhaps, come with phones. You can't put them down, even though you want to put them down. When you succeed in putting them down, you can't help but pick them up again after a few minutes. Or…

The phased manufacturing programme and the production-linked incentive scheme have gone a long way to cut mobile imports that fell by 33 percent in fiscal 2022, and pushed local production up by around 26 percent during the year, says a report.A Crisil report said that local production of mobile phones has been logging in a 33 percent annual growth rate between fiscals 2016 and 2021, the pace of which slowed a tad in FY22 to 24-26 percent.This growth is in spite of the ongoing chip shortage, and three of the global…

What every data scientist should know about Python dependenciesDependency management is the act of managing all the external pieces that your project relies on. It has the risk profile of a sewage system. When it works, you don’t even know it’s there, but it becomes excruciating and almost impossible to ignore when it fails.Every project is built on someone else’s sweat and tears. Those days when an engineer woke up, made coffee, and started a new project by writing a bootloader — the program that boots up your computer…

In a bid to strengthen US’s energy independence and reduce its reliance on nations like China, the Joe Biden government has announced $3.1 billion from the ‘Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’ to make more batteries and components in America, bolster domestic supply chains and create good-paying jobs.The US Department of Energy (DOE) also announced a separate $60 million to support second-life applications for batteries once used to power EVs, as well as new processes for recycling materials back into the battery supply…

The European Union announced a $48 billion (roughly Rs. 3,58,520 crore) plan Tuesday to become a major semiconductor producer, seeking to curb its dependency on Asian markets for the component that powers everything from cars to hospital ventilators and game consoles.At a time when natural gas shortages and Europe's reliance on Russia for energy shows the political risks of economic dependency, the 27-nation bloc is moving to boost its economic independence in the critical semiconductor sector with its Chips Act.“Chips…
