My grandmother lacked vocabulary that can be used to describe 'purpose' -- or mental issues. One word she would very rarely use was 'dharma' i.e. duty. Though I am not sure if she used it in this way. There were only a f

Duckdb is really great. DX is awesome. I cloned the CVE repository and ingested it into duckdb without worrying about table structures. Build a fastapi wrapper to query CVEs like SQL. A little bit of caching and it was pretty fast. Was done

How does it work? Does it reduce the calorie intake by decreasing the appetite? Your body burns more calories because the drug sets the thermostat higher?! Or something else? I don't know how to feel about the idea that we need treatme

I think many people like to believe that solving puzzles will somehow make them better at combinatorics. Lateral skill transfer in non-motor skills e.g. office works, academics works etc may not be any better than motor skills. It's ea

For openSuSe, their open build service is awesome. You can create packages in your personal repos and submit to the official repo in one click. Though zypper (suse package manager) download packages serially and takes a lot of time during u

In many, perhaps most, signalling pathways, amplitude doesn't matter much (it does at log-scale). Given how well we control temperature and therefore rate of the reaction, it makes sense to use timing to fight off the noise.

I went to a talk by a very old physicist. At the end of his talk, he said, recalling from memory, all of the great experiments of the past were done by nothing. If an experiment costs more than $100, I am out. His setup has mud in a jar and

Hmmm.. I heard in a conference that most well understood engineering principles or theories have a neat geometric interpretation. Personally I find a theory with geometric interpretation far easier to grasp. On the other hand, the higher di

Meh. We had the great Bengal famine under British rule. And none of it was due to lack of this and that. Amrtya Sen "Nobel" in economics was related to this.

Excellent blog! Love the fact that a great amount of background information is added to the article. Can be read as an "introduction to embedded programming" chapter but not as boring as you find in textbooks.

This is nothing. My bank account (HDFC india) starts with 00. Dare send it to any accounting person who will copy paste it into an excel sheet and bang.. the prefix 00 is gone. Now they will complain that your account details are wrong. Too

Also cricket. It's coming back to the Olympics next time though. The last time (and only one time) was in 1900 in Paris. Only two teams participated: one was France and the other of course Britain.

Thanks for pointing this out. It's hard to communicate ipv4 and I dread even reading ipv6. I don't understand why they didn't just add two or four more fields to ipv4 e.g. 0.91.127.0.0.1 is localhost where 0.91 can be omitted

I got to use susestudio only for a few months and I was in love. Not sure why they killed it. There is simply nothing like that out there that I know of. Docker et al are great but susestudio did much more. I used it to create an installer
