the hand plane vs. the electric plane may not be the right metaphor. It will be more like one hand plane vs. another. Just because it is a "great big" company pushing it with all their might ($s), doesn't mean it is the best

I agree with this point. It is about being a craftsman esp. the point about if it is part of your KVP or not. In addition to this, if you do have the skills of doing it, then you can either patent it or open source it. This will allow you

There's OpenCL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCL - this BTW, also runs on NVIDIA GPUs too... OpenCL is completely open (source) and so why wouldn't we, all of us, throw our weight behind OpenCL. (no, I hav

I'm sorry but IBM has moved out of (Software) products and currently only does IT services. Its revenue (from Software) is completely tied to $/hour that it can earn from its contracts. Arvind Krishna is simply trying to talk hi

Does having a "Wall of Shame" make sense? Basically put details on a shared google sheet with names, details etc., so that: a. Other freelancers can avoid them. b. They know about it... Would that work?

I have a similar issue using a (non-google) videoconferencing tool on Firefox. It is very irritating that I have to switch browsers (both Konqueror and Chrome work) just for my VC needs... I think it is a Firefox issue (another friend repo

I agree and I think this difficulty should be recognized and made so earlier rather than later. The US should sanction India, it is a better way to go.

I disagree with this. We have a lot of people dissenting within India. They are not tied down except for counterattacks on social media by people who disagree with them - which to my mind is fair, as both sides are free to (verbally) attac

Having been on the "other side" of the table, I can kinda answer this. In my experience, the interviewees who talk too much are the bullshitters (in fact that's a red flag). They usually can't code for nuts. The ONLY w

Been there. let's look at some of the reasons of the burnout: 1. You are not a 20 year old anymore. 2. Been there, done that so many times. 3. You got a kid AND (obviously) a partner. This is a major change in your life. Your priorit

The feeling I get from the article AND some of the comments here is that the Palestinians / Hamas did nothing but to sit and wait for Israel to invade & bomb Gaza to dust. It is completely Israel's fault... Wondering why the

The amount is really measly (a couple of million GBP per year). I came across this calculation that ISRO earned something like 330M GBP over the past 9 years from it's 3rd party satellite launches. This is a question we Indians have b

Disagree - this is unsubstantiated and worthy of an Elon Musk style of how he stripped that BBC reporter down. If they were the targets, Journalists, dissidents would have completely dissappeared over time. They are active and vociferous.

I don't think so, I don't think it is fear. I have watched BBC for a long time and they were uniformly critical/negative of everything in India. Other than one or two positive series, their news have been uniformly negative
