I am an Indian and I echo your sentiments. Federalism, which was supposed to work really well, is failing at all levels in our country. A single vision to move forward does not germinate and even if it does in one person's mind, it is

Coupled with website notifications, it's all hell break loose. Can someone tell me if it is possible to write a chrome plugin that will close any such websites. I mean within 30 seconds of opening if there is any permission/sign u

I use customised resumes too and not having a desktop MS office license makes this process even harder.

Thanks a bunch. I will start doing this right away.

I have been following learning to learn on Coursera. The course instructors lay a strong emphasis on deep work, but teach you how to learn. Prior to taking this course, I was getting into periods of deep work on and off but didn’t learn any

Almost all estimates are based on past experience. So good luck with such estimates when you are entering new domain or even new tech. I honestly believe that there is no need for estimates. Your delivery date is set by the customer or the

As someone who worked very closely with tech support and sometimes fielded calls, I echo this. It's batshit insane to field support calls, L1 especially. Honestly, no human deserves the wrath of support calls. You get yelled at for no

Awesomely done ! What i really like is that, in addition to the ease of deploying a model, this product also lets you visualize the activations of the neural network. I mean you could build the visualizations in Jupyter but the ease of togg

I once wrote a packaging script that saved 2 man weeks of recurring work. Not the swankiest or the most challenging job I did, but it was immensely gratifying, since this time was directly billed to customers. So yes, fixing small non-criti

This is a problem even in tropical countries such as India and Singapore. The contrast between outside and inside temperatures is insane. We get headaches and God knows what the long term detrimental health effects are. It's worse in S

As far as I know this isn't a problem in India, UK and US. Reporting additional income for tax purposes is fairly simple and there is nothing legally wrong in doing multiple jobs at the same time, unless you are on some kind of Visa wh

Agreed. I guess you could make the contract route optional. I mean have the standard interview route or the contract route - ask the candidates to pick what they want.
435.
by deepGem 9y ago
Exactly. Just a week or two of contract work will tell you if the candidate is a fit or not. A 30 minute phone screen will tell you if a candidate is worthy of a contract. I think companies don't do this because a. They don't wan

I wrote a couple of these home works and finally gave up. In fact, I won't interview for any dev positions that require me to do a recruiter phone screen, another technical phone screen, a homework and then an onsite coding test. Expec

One of the issues that I faced during my short stint building ML models for fraud detection in debit card transactions was dealing with class imbalance. I was not completely convinced that over sampling techniques or under sampling techniqu

Yep, I agree but such an obsessive focus comes at a cost of execution speed. In the early stages I'd rather be fast and a bit sloppy than be slow and perfect.

Sadly no, I tried finding it everywhere but no luck, should have taken a backup of our emails before deleting our domain mail boxes.

We applied to YC once and were rejected. Didn't take it personally but since we were in a very early stage, we dropped the idea. I've personally found the YC application extremely gratifying to write. It does help you answer those

Very true but somehow Wall St. is valuing Tesla very differently than they valued Amazon 15 years ago. Tesla's stock hasn't gone down that much, there's volatility but not the near 100% crash that struck Amazon. On the flip s

I think the phrase 'Auto-pilot' is a misnomer. It's a lead-on phrase, confuses people to let their eyes off the road. They should have named it 'driver assist' or something mundane people shouldn't get confused

I don't have a current website yet. Thanks for pointing this out. I have a static page at callindra.com (works without the www) I have to fix the Godaddy DNS. Will do.

I more or less left full time work when I was 39 to pursue startups. The reasoning was exactly on the lines of what you have described. It's been 2 years and the journey has been fraught with failures. One, it's become really hard

Well, most software engineers don't despise managers. Engineers despise suits who don't understand software engineering. Sadly, most suits fall into this category and to make matters worse they turn out to be control freaks. They
