The revised bill to make instant Triple Talaq - the practice of Muslim men to instantly divorce their wives by uttering "Talaq" thrice -- a punishable offence is in Rajya Sabha for debate and passing. The bill, passed by the Lok Sabha, faces the real test in the upper house of parliament where the government lacks the numbers. Contending that the bill targets the Muslim community, the opposition wants it go to a joint parliamentary committee for further scrutiny. The Congress said it won't allow the bill to be passed in its current form, and has made it mandatory for its lawmakers to attend today's session.

Ask HN: How can I make the most out of high school?
8 by TheAsprngHacker | 4 comments on Hacker News.
I'm in high school. Soon, I will be in college. Before, I’ve focused mainly on studying and pursuing solitary passions, but not doing social activities. However, I now feel that I'm missing out on typical teenager life, and I'll have regrets when I'm an adult. I just watched an anime following a group of close friends in a band as they pass through high school. I've seen people online state that the anime reminded them of their own high school lives, but it doesn't remind me of my current life at all; it's way too carefree and fun. My online friends have told me that they don't have close friends either, so my life is normal. Today, I saw this: http://bit.ly/2SrB9oN. Granted, the person is saying that they don't relate to looking back on high school. However, the topic is about common things that one can’t relate to, and some repliers said that their own HS lives were carefree. Now, I again feel I am missing something. I like programming, and I've become interested in type theory. I doubt that other people in my school care about this stuff. I take art class, but it's a solitary activity between me and my teacher, not together with other students. I don't know how to make close friends. I can talk to people, but I can't suddenly form a close relationship with somebody. Friendship can’t be forced; it develops naturally. Yet, I've never made a close, loyal friendship, only casual friendships. Before, I've been looking forward to college so I can study my interests. Now, I feel afraid of ending high school. Is it normal that I don't have close friends and that I'm solitary? Am I missing out on anything? What hobbies do you advise me to adopt that I can do in a group, with camaraderie? Will college be the same or different than high school? Can I have the same kind of youthful fun when I'm an adult?

Ask HN: How to turn mindless browsing time into productive programming time?
17 by snazz | 5 comments on Hacker News.
I’m not a programmer by trade; it’s just a hobby for me. When I set out some time to sit down and write code, I spend most of it browsing the web to compare languages and libraries to make the project instead of actually working on the project. I usually get as far as a repository and a README, but after lots of thinking and mindless thumb-twiddling-web-browsing-time-wasting, I just shelve the project for another time and look for another idea that I’m convinced that I’ll be more passionate about. I see all these amazing side projects on HN that required months of self-directed, hard work. What’s everyone’s secret to staying focused on a personal side project and pushing it to completion?

Question trigger- twitter thread #MyAudible2018 Edit: In case of multiple versions, please mention the narrator's name. For example, I like Peter Yearsley's reading of Alice In Wonderland (http://bit.ly/2EUXfgl) more than others. Or Karen Savage's reading of Pride And Prejudice. Or Stephen Fry's Harry Potter (although I did not really listen enough to Jim Dale's versions). Strangely, when it comes to non-fiction books, I have been more of a reader than listener (so far).

Ask HN: Tool for self-hosting your own Facebook profile after downloading it?
109 by camillomiller | 42 comments on Hacker News.
I was playing with the idea of a Facebook profile cemetery. It would be a tool to structure your profile data after you download it from Facebook, in order to self-host it on a space you own. The idea would be to keep alive your profile history, but on your own website, for friends and family to still browse it, or just as a way to claim and still show data that's fundamentally yours to show around. Before I try to figure out a way to do that and start building something, do you know any tool useful for this purpose?

I wrote a free book about TDD and clean architecture in Python
180 by thedigicat | 50 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN, I just published on Leanpub a free book, "Clean Architectures in Python". It's a humble attempt to organise and expand some posts I published on my blog in the last years. You can find it here: http://bit.ly/2Vfo97q The main content is divided in two parts, this is a brief overview of the table of contents * Part 1 - Tools - Chapter 1 - Introduction to TDD - Chapter 2 - On unit testing - Chapter 3 - Mocks * Part 2 - The clean architecture - Chapter 1 - Components of a clean architecture - Chapter 2 - A basic example - Chapter 3 - Error management - Chapter 4 - Database repositories Some highlights: - The book is written with beginners in mind - It contains 3 full projects, two small ones to introduce TDD and mocks, a bigger one to describe the clean architecture approach - Each project is explained step-by-step, and each step is linked to a tag in a companion repository on GitHub The book is free, but if you want to contribute I will definitely appreciate the help. My target is to encourage the discussion about software architectures, both in the Python community and outside it. I hope you will enjoy the book! Please spread the news on your favourite social network
