Go stay at those big name hotels, such as Sheraton, Mariott, Hilton, Le Meridian, Obero, Ritz-Carlton, Taj, Leela etc. Most of these are present in major cities across India. They're a little on the expensive side though. (I'm NOT

I shut down my work machine at the end of the day if it has written to the swap space; else I just close the lid. I always shut it down on Friday evenings though.

For my personal machine I have a relatively new ThinkPad running linux that works perfectly well for everything that I do. Ever since it came out I want to buy a MacBook with these new chips as my personal machine. But I haven't yet

I have always felt this is where recommendation engines go wrong. If I watch a cat video, it'll think all I like are cats. I may like content about Foo — something entirely unrelated to cats — if I watch it. But since I have never wa

I do this. And not just for OS updates. For example, I have noticed that if a new model (or generation of and existing model) of a car comes out, it's better to wait for a year or two for them to iron out the issues. (No I don't p
