The difference is that you've encapsulated your coding logic in mainMethod() instead of writing under that if condition itself. If latter was the case, you can't call that code from another module without resorting to os shell lev

Firstly, DDG was blocked by ALL Indian ISPs during that instance, not just Jio. People using Airtel, Vodafone, etc. were as much complaining in forums as the Jio users. From what I recall, BSNL was the only one who didn't block (due to

Europe couldn't even manage to implement Linux in Berlin! The capitalist pressure is what really works there in the farce of socialism. Even with GDPR, those who got penalized where small websites, IT Shops, bloggers, etc. for not know

God forbid if Google lifted their hands some day, can you even imagine how many million people will be impacted due to how many services ranging from emails to map apps to cloud services to web services, etc? Is it wise to give one entity p

The trick is to go and sit at your desk regularly until writing comes on its own. Its all right if you don't write, but you're not supposed to do anything else. And write anything you feel like ignoring grammar, content quality or

This is what happens when you go public! The pressure to earn more (by hook or crook) also increases in times like these. As the author states, this started happening more only after Upwork got listed on NASDAQ, not earlier when they were s
