Biological systems are logical too. The genome is the program that is hardwired into them. They also run on mathematics involved in chemical reactions. Even the simplest organism like the single-celled amoeba has more complicated and highly

This was written in 2009. Perhaps one can be kinder to the author in his pleading that looking at cells as individual entities was not getting adequate research focus. Also, things like changes after organ donation do not yet have any scien

From my own experiences, Firefox is a better product than Chrome in a lot of ways. For my daily needs, Firefox can easily survive 150 tabs, while Chrome nearly chokes my machine in 30. Firefox on Android has a quaint reader mode, which I us

You can see when a company has built a stellar product when they can sustain return customers even without discounts and payback offers. See Amazon's rivals, in India atleast, Flipkart and snapdeal are biting the dust, and Amazon doesn

I think the author has not thought of frame reordering in error scenarios. If UDP is used, frames could even get dropped in the middle, and in case of TCP, frames could arrive out of order. That would wreck havoc in the odd-odd numbering se

Kafka can be used if you want to treat data as streams for some processing (think producer-consumer kind of scenarios). You can point to the stream from any point in time to read it 'as and when things happened'. Kafka's own

I have been using Kafka 0.8.2 in a production setting for consuming real-time event traffic from our caching layer for six months. The most difficult parts of my experience were the occasional consumer lags that erupted without warning&#x2F

A really nice tutorial. I have been writing Java code since 6 years. Although I can't say that I have programmed in many other languages (I have coded in C/C++ and Javascript), Java has been always very comfortable to use. It&#x27

Well, there seems to be no ultimate purpose. Life will take whatever purpose you want to give it. No purpose, if it gives you happiness, is a less perfect purpose. It could be a simple or complex reason, but its aptness will only depend on

There is this oft-repeated idea in modern culture: do what you love, and love what you do. But how do you find your passion? How does a person know what to aim for in life? I think it is the extra curricular activities that you do which det
