Bollywood movies are kitsch. Generally they don't deserve any rating.

The article scuttles the basic issues like 1. How credible is the bio safety of GM products. Why is the consumer not having the choice to know if a product uses GM ingredients? 2. What is the level of pesticide residues in food we eat? What

I read Marquez's master piece '100 Years of Solitude' in my native language Malayalam 25 years ago and it got etched into my mind forever. In the next 2-3 years I read almost all the works of Marquez available in English. Lat

We apply unidesign (works equally well on iOS and Android) for all our apps these days. But we take iOS as the base for design. This is because Android still do not have the design consistency of iOS. Also Android devices come in variety of

Startups should use a relational database unless their requirements (current and future) exactly fit a nosql model - which is difficult to predict. You can migrate later if scalability becomes an issue. Going nosql first (considering that

CBSE is puny when compared to state boards where majority of Indians study. CBSE is one of the trend setters in rote learning too!

There is nothing called India Board Exams - Each ethnic state has a board which conducts exams - and the surveillance is different for each. But all boards agree and exist for the rote learning model which leaves no scope for creativity. ki

I don't know if Clint drew 25000 artworks in his lifetime (that looks astonishingly huge number), but he was indeed a prodigy well known in Kerala from a very small age (3 ish if I remember correctly) A bit superlative (philosophical

In browser content may need to be asynchronous, but HTTP is request/response - nothing asynchronous. Half the web (or more) is not about feeding the browser. Use asynchronicity where needed.

Agreed - but the Northies are using Lungies too in Kerala :)

Kerala has a dearth of manual labor. There are 2.5m Northies working in Kerala as manual labour today - I am talking about their wages only.

The biggest threat to internet is from governments. Time to think of an independent, autonomous internet that is dynamically formed and cannot be controlled or monitored by design

Thanks! We should have some code that can be made open source. Will check if it contains any PHP. Mostly because we work with Businesses and host solutions for them on the cloud, our code base is not yet open sourced. Should try to do that

As long as you keep your design to short lived HTTP requests in CRUD fashion - and no deep nesting - It is possible (REST is really procedural in its core). In fact, I would suggest the model for any scripting language. That do not mean you

I came to PHP after long stint with C, C++, Objective C, Java and Javascript - and I was productive from day 1. I have programmed extensively, and have come across few quirks, but never got stuck, nor is my code spaghetti. I do not use fram

First Polio Free district in India is in Kerala. We have not heard about any Harsh Vardhan here. Last Polio case in Kerala was reported in 2000 (For few decades before itself, cases in Kerala were extremely rare). World wide polio eradicati

Would be difficult to say the least, especially if you do not have a STEM background. As PG says, at least 10 years hacking experience is the minimum bar. But if you are an innovator/marketing genius and can muster a tech team, you can

HTML Popups have always been a problem and with re targeting the Ads are a menace. And some clever spoofing is definitely possible. A proper ad/popup blocker for native browsers would help.

by anuraj 13y ago
Since HTML pages cannot open up by themselves, and user can navigate away, the risk is lower compared to a native app which can do far more damage. Never the less, permission mechanism should have been enabled.

PG has put what he said in perspective - and everything boils down to quoting out of context. You want to be an A class founder - try hard - there is no shortcut even if you are a woman.

Congrats Estimote - We recently got the developer pack and implemented an Android SDK for the same, and the motes are handy. The calibration is a bit off for each mote, and thus location accuracy is a bit compromised. Hope the production ve

You are actually trying to bench mark asynchronous vs synchronous code - and the result is obvious. More relevant may be pitting node against vert.x for example - and node should not be faster than vert.x for most cases at least.

Very good idea - will make snooping and tracking impossible. So end of targeted ads. If we can now snooze the surveillance regime as well - all the better.

Use the tool that is apt for the job. Programming languages and paradigms are tools. Tools are not greater than end products - period.

In the past few months, I have found the relative simplicity of vert.x trump play where ever an asynchronous framework needs to be used. And for everything else, there is the Servlet API.
