   One welcome addition would be support for embedded images - sometimes you need to share some screenshots. For example right now, I am seeing rate limiting messsages from Twitter, from the normal account. But may be it will increase your cos

   Good for you. But please don't generalize it for every one. Lack of water intake does multiply the hardship many folds. Especially now, when Ramzan(or Ramadan) falling in summer in the northern hemisphere. Know people who have had stro

   I hear this VPN suggestion a lot. Here and on Twitter. Wonder, can't people do protests on the streets for this?

   Also it has access to people. It could instruct people to carry out stuff in the real world, on its behalf.

    When they started the Google code jams, around 20 years ago, for the initial few years they used TopCoder as the platform. So it may play out that way.

    You say you have problem solving competence. Then if you can do 3 easy to medium algorithmic coding problems in 1.5 hours, you do stand a chance at some remote work companies like Toptal. You may have to brush up your skills to do a mock pr

    Only yesterday, I worked on a ticket for few hours, inspecting several Mongo collections in QE and prod. And then had to make 4 to 5 lines of changes across 3/4 python scripts. And then manually run them to patch the mongo collections.

    Thanks for the pointer to Milky Chess YT videos. The first one at 13.41 minutes has a clincher argument regarding a flat Centipawn loss at 2300 ELO and 2600 ELO. Don't think, another argument is needed.

    I think, this may be true, as I recently got a contact from big tech. And this did not happen in a long while for me. So I decided that I will give it a try, and a full heart-ed one at that, with leetcode 150 problem list, picked up from on

    I have been working in the freelancing mode, after my Startup product plateaued since September 2018. And it has been a good experience so far. I bill 50$ per hour. And working from India the rates work out pretty decent. Although, I do rea

    +1 on Toptal. I consult (development work) for a client via them. And their rates are much better than perhaps any where else in the freelancing world. But their process is a bit difficult, as another sibling comment has described. Knowledg
