"epistemology" -- every time I see this word (normally in @nntaleb's tweets) I look up google for meaning of this word, get a sense, and then soon forget :-)

I think, if we have enough leisure time, to an extent we get bored, results in us feeling time passes slowly. I used to get that feeling during summer vacations in school/college days. Not so much now. So I also struggle with this exac

I know this comment has been criticized a lot, and rightly so. As the last picture of train station with "elegant men and beautiful women" acting to look the station busy, is by itself so much of a story, as to make me want more o

Email is such a profound application on Internet. Kind of like air or water, and therefore its (nearly) free[1]. The walled garden social networks are like Coke (or sugary water) or polluted air in comparison. Aren't there any poets he

You can use goroutine ( call function prefixed with 'go' e.g. go foo() ) or channels, any where where you would use threads in languages like C/C++/Java. Their terminology is concurrent programming. So you never actually

I doubt if users would have paid much for this kind of App. As its use-case seems to me, a cousin of lot of other free apps like maps (directions), which are done by giants. So basically its something which people need, but have mental cate

I totally agree with you. Political opinions are formed over a long time, and are a function of our experiences, prejudices, reading, ignorance etc...all very hard to change. So its best to not have political discussions in a work place set

Sure. Let me try to share some details. But before that, just want to make a point (which you surely know) that its also a major decision of a language change from Java to Go. In the Tomcat/Jetty/<any other Java app server>

The point is, it is broad. You gained by using it in a traditional case where earlier you would have used C. But I've used it in the web app scenario. Replacing Java (jetty/tomcat servlets with pure Java code) with Golang. My own

Sometime back when I moved from svn to git. My default choice was Github. But their pricing was a hindrance. I guess, its more suited for US (or countries with value-equivalence with USD). 7 USD per user, did not make any sense to me, from

I do understand the difference between start-up time and switching time. I included the latter to tell about my experience with editors like eclipse (and other editors developed in Java). Have not used Atom. Great for you, if you like it. M

Time-frames. You imply major changes in geopolitics which typically need multiples of 100s of years. No body can plan for that long a period - they can sure pretend to. Such changes, often come undetected until we are well into or past them
