It's interesting since as a SDE in India/Bangalore, I would absolutely love to work in California. All the reasons citied in the article applies to Bangalore as well? For example similarities include, cost of living / rent in

Twitter makes $5B in revenue with -$0.5B in income. Musk would need to turn it into a profit machine to recoup some of his investment. Per the annual report 2019[1] Twitter spent - $1.8B in Cost of Revenue - $1.2B in R&D - $1.1B in Sale

Considering that consoles like Xbox Series S, Nintendo Switch are available for less than $300 and provide a much better gaming experience, it was quite inevitable. This does even more damage to the Google's reputation. I would never r

Since the human society is better at disaster management than prevention, I would like to read at least one article which provides a solution instead of screaming end of the world. Given that world temperature would rise by 2C or even 4C by

Factorio's official requirement for x86 is a dual core 3.0Ghz processor & yet it's able to run on Switch which has a very weak 1Ghz quad core cortex-A57 ARM CPU. How is this possible? I would imagine CPU requirements to be mor

Fedora is one of the most beautiful and functional Linux distros out there. I don't think it is the Fedora's ( read: real humans working behind Linux) fault at all. But since manufactures don't provide an out of the box suppo

I've seen your post as a comment before. For India, I recommend buying Dell / Lenovo if you really want on-site repairs for cheap, otherwise I recommend Asus. I recently bought Asus Zenbook 14 Oled (12th gen) over M1 MacBook Air a

I agree that 12th gen can sustain good performance given decent cooling. However, the issue is still heat. It could be fun to have a `lap benchmark`. That is can you keep a laptop on your lap while it runs Cinebench R23 for 10 minutes? Wit

In a laptop, I care far more about battery life and the fan noise. However, Intel 12th gen is only able to pull these impressive performance feats due to very high turbo boost clocks. It's not that Intel is bad, it's still pretty

Depends on how they would do it. If Apple were to replace brew with an official package manager which just works, most people wouldn't bat an eye. The way Apple could do it is by introducing the said package manager for iPadOS. iPadOS

I would like a break from building mostly CRUD applications and study a little more CS theory. However I am not wealthy enough to just enjoy studying, so job market and cost of education is extremely important too.

Maybe a format with 60 minutes + 30 seconds increment from move 40, could be more entertaining to watch than the current 90 minutes for the first 40 moves, followed by 30 minutes for the rest of the game, with an addition of 30 seconds per

Good list. It's a little surprising that Google still can't bundle a better chat application in Google Workspace.

Thank you for the recommendations. I will be sure to check out Scala and go through your suggestions.

Thanks for the recommendation. I will check out Scala. Especially since https://github.com/lichess-org/lila is also written with Scala.

- High memory usage - Several patterns introduces a lot of boiler code. - It's harder to visualize a OO codebase than a pure FP codebase like Haskell. - Frameworks like Spring / Jakarta are overly complex. But I don't mind OO

Lately I've been disabling notifications for almost all apps including Uber and food delivery apps. I can always open up the app to check the status when I want to. The only spam I've left on my phone is now the needless SMS.

Apple claims M1 Ultra is faster than 28 Core Intel Xeon W chip, which they ship in Mac Pro. If that's true, then Mac Studio is an excellent value. Mac Pro with 28 Core, 96GB RAM, 1TB SSD = $14,199 Mac Studio with M1 Ultra (48GPU Cores)

I am genuinely curious as to what makes leetcode harder than MSc? I am not sure if the hate received towards LC style interviews is justified. It levels the playing field and most companies ( except MAMAA ) picks a question from Blind 75 an
