I don't understand what is hard in the language: http://www.incometaxindia.gov.in/Documents/direct-taxes-code... Indian tax code is beautifully spelled out. It is basically a collection of to-do list items with ea

I have tried it, but I didn't understand why I would ever use it. The Income Tax e-filing is already dead simple in India, and has only become better over the years. You just put data in and it basically does everything for you. If you

Macbook Air 2012 models with 4GB soldered RAM ran fine on Mavericks and XCode 6, until Apple decided the newest XCode 6 to be Yosemite only. Now Yosemite is free, but is absolute abonimation on 2/4GB machines. On top of that, you have

Every year the new XCode comes, and I'm less excited about new features and more worried about how many more Macs will I have to buy. Last update on XCode 6 made it impossible for some 2012 models to run it. This update is almost surel

I thought that too. But for some reason Ybrant is hell bent on milking it. They are still running the Lycos search engine and are slowly transitioning all their B2C products under Lycos brand. I don't know how it helps as Lycos died in

They are gaming the brand name, it seems. Lycos was acquired by Ybrant Digital in 2010. Ybrant later merged with an Indian company. It's now traded on Indian stock exchange. Ybrant is behind this. So, technically, not the same Lycos.

I have mixed feelings here: 1. This is just wire-framing, not mock-ups. Adding mock-up features will take away the realtime-discussion-ness of the product, so that's that. 2. Wire-framing is essentially a brainstorming exercise. I&#x27

It is faster than some of the others I've tried. Good thing is, since it is built to be basic and domain specific, the core should be kept as simple as it is, and allow extensions to be built on top. There are mess ups around sanity ch

Since Virtual Box supports EFI boot, and since we did not fiddle with the ISO in this process, that means this process will not work on incompatible older Macbooks, right?

Why is this approach used? I have never, in my life, have coded on a whiteboard while actually building a product. I draw, I brainstorm, I even write plain English steps, but never code. It's extremely weird that companies are trying t

A lot of comments here comparing it with grep or some other native CLI. I think this fares better at least on three metrics: 1. Fun to build. 2. Output looks prettier. 3. Easier to add more syntactic stuff as edge cases for different langua

This is a pure guess - people downgrading back to Windows 7. Maybe new laptop buyers install Windows 7 because they don't like 8.1, IE8 is default on Windows 7. Could be a lot of things, but it is a good chance that this has something

Didn't go down that way for me. Their sign up form kept giving 503, and each time it did that, the form reset saving nothing I entered. That is a UX fail. The form is not clear on expectations, when you don't follow them, it fails

Their UI is good, not their UX. Bugs simply destroy the experience. I'm also fond of their branding somehow, and their aggressive campaigning, their staying away from TV, and them not forcing me to download their apps. But that all fal

Sam Altman's advice is for early stage startups working on small seed rounds, not for companies getting 2.5MM, then 18MM, then 90MM USD in funding. I don't know if you have ever raised, but you have to justify to investors how you
