Hard disagree. There is no evidence that startups of India are helping the GDP or improving the lives of rank and file Indians. In my understanding, right now, all these VC funded businesses are catering to top 100M of Indian population, pe

Many people somehow are able to overlook the lack of infrastructure and accident prone roads. Family+having access to maids, cooks, drivers, etc is a big driver of this behavior.

Anyone knows a good API to access books in my library? It is 2021 and there is no App which sends me daily notifications of what I must read. It is insane. The book is already checked out. I just need a remainder to read it or a random page

It's a marketing tool. It is like saying, "All these smart people believe in our growth potential. You as a potential employee too should believe us. You as a customer should think we have innovative solution to your needs"

No. Whitewashed as as in give an aura of we did no shady things, we never faked anything, we did not have to give an extreme discounts to anyone, all our discussions with customers were straight forward. We just walked into people's o

Great question. But related to this, what is the best "always" ON digital Photo frame with an API/wifi connectivity? I want to make a screen which my kids can see every morning. It will pull interesting pics from reddit or fr

Because no product manager has been able to push it through various layers of beauracracy (yet). Plus more customizations means, their ML based personalized SERP page has failed in understanding your intent/needs.

A cabinet minister (secretary in US administration) got a call like this out of the blue. That is when the India govt work up to the problem. Nothing was done so far though,

Not really. news channels, print media, billboards, internet websites use devanagari script. But in Messenger apps, FB, Telegram, people use latin script.

This is great. Is there an easy "open source terminal emulator" where I can run this after I typed enter but before it is executed? More like. is there a way the terminal can understand I typed a bad command and then give suggesti

QA is not rolled up in to software engineering. Developers are now expected to write UTs and ITs. Except in companies like Apple, where there are still Manual QA and SDET positions.

True. But sometimes there are small openings in the hills which are enough for rivers to rush through. Brahmaputra starts near Tibet, but enters India in the state of Arunachal Pradesh. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bra

Thats not the point of my question. Substack can say something like medium does. "You can view five posts for free and then you should login to read more"

by throwaway158497 5y ago
When are you implementing a login wall like medium.com? I believe any user generated content must not be hidden behind a login wall, unless (of course) the user wants. Unfortunately, I believe that is what you will be doing soon, just becau

They are all using nylas recruiting software. Reply to the third or fourth mail asking for what skills they need and you will be a boilerplate "Shortly after sending you this email, We have shortlisted some candidates and they have mov

That's a cool story. However, I would say there are good reasons to test whether I can actually implement something. Mostly it tells the hiring manager about my quality of my work rather than a simple yes (s)he can do or no (s)he can&#

It's called mix.com . Made by same guys as stumble upon. They pull posts and videos from reddit/youtube and then show them on the phone app. Good if you are 20yr old kid, bad if you are (internet)veteran.

Try doing it with coderpad IDE with no autcommplete. On top of that, for Java, make sure you declare everything as static, because top level class has static on it. A reasonable middle ground is that I demonstrate I know all the concepts in

One thing I wish people leeny (who work with hiring managers) tell companies is that as people start hitting 35-40, they dont' have same motivation to solve a trick coding question in 40 min interview. I can demonstrate that I have all

Thanks for the initiative. Very useful. I am developing https://www.interviewblindspots.com/ It is crowd sourced feedback on your interview performance, targeted at software engineers. I am very bad at frontend technologies

Great effort. As a individual developer, How does using Bing results work? Can I signup for their search engine API and modify them based on my secret sauce, without raking up 100$+ bill every month?

I am in same boat since a long time. I think you should consider hiring someone on fiverr. They do the design for you and then you go and implement it in html/css.
