My experience has been just opposite with Amazon at least their Web services. One of my account was hacked and since I don't use AWS any longer the emails and alerts were going to an email I never check. Don't remember how I disco

Man the amount of honking is insane in India. I was visiting a relative in Patna and it's like everybody just honks for the sake on honking. I mean I thought delhi was bad, but this place just takes honking to a whole new level. It&#x2

Wow never really knew this. I guess you need to have deep understanding of the language and maybe have English as your mother tongue to pick up on such things. No wonder text is so emotionless and people misread and get angry about what the

I find front end much easier because of hot reloading and recent stuff like vite which instantly reflects whatever you're doing. This definitely helps to increase the speed of development. Also there have been some recent developments

They have such a terrible landing page though. Having heard of this first time I tried looking it up and all I see is this: > Vercel combines the best developer experience with an obsessive focus on end-user performance. Our platform ena

Yes I'm used it now but first time it started doing its thing, I wanted to stop and clap for how jaw dropping and amazing this technology is. I was a Jetbrains fan but this thing takes productivity to a whole new level. I really don&#x

Maybe it's an Indian thing but I generally end most of my emails with "Awaiting your reply..." and sure enough I always get a reply. I guess when you end with that, it makes it clear that I'm waiting for the other perso

I wish Yahoo would buy it instead, so we can forever be done with this webspam.

Modi govt gets a lot of hate in India but we should also give credit where it is due, like for this. An indecisive leader or one heading a coalition govt probably couldn't have done it like this.

Great success story. For me personally, I've always found that plain text emails get a much higher engagement rate than the best designed newsletter.

I remember when the salaries in India for a full-stack engg were in the range of $2000 / mo ($24K) and it was considered a "good" salary. We had to work on Saturdays and often Sundays. And I'm not talking of some local c

Paypal's API is one of the biggest nightmare I have to deal with lately(1). As much as Paypal has sucked, at least it was super simple to integrate before: just set amount, freq, period, return url and ipn url and that was pretty much

Just curious but is it the lack of mass production or something sinister like patents / monopoly?

Yeah this video still haunts me(1). The cop was acquitted by jury, saying the victim, committed a misdemeanour by leaving the house without identification(2). They did win $1.75m in the end though so at least there is that. (1) https:&#x2F

Really interesting. Speaking as a total noob, if somebody wanted to make thispersondoesnotexist type of program, e.g. this site: 1) how much approx cost will it be to rent the servers to train such models? 2) Can this be done on a home comp

What about banglore india? Why is it not on the list of worst cities? It would beat any place else by miles. I don't think work life balance is even considered a thing here and I'm talking about what are considered to be better co

They voluntarily donated $2000 to faker.js as I can see from opencollective link. It definitely looks like they love supporting open-source and not trying to rip-off small devs.

Yes this would be a super useful feature especially for dormant accounts. One of my old aws account was recently hacked and racked up bills in thousands of dollars. The AWS support was super nice and took care of it for me but it gave me so

I really love all the cool features AWS keeps adding to their offerings but god does the bill adds up so quickly. I just realised that I was paying almost $100 a month for things I'm now getting for almost free by just choosing alterna

Does it make sense to add random backgrounds to already transparent pngs and then use it to train the models? P.S. Really useful link btw. Thank you. P.P.S. One more question if you don't mind. After I've trained the model what ki

For somebody who was 0 knowledge of ML but has always been wary of the huge costs involved this sure looks like a great offering! But I still don't know what it would cost to get something useful out of it. Can you (or anybody who know

I really hate this concept of preinstalling apps on the phone that cannot be uninstalled/disabled. Especially crap apps like Facebook and Instagram. Why o why I cannot remove Facebook or Instagram when I don't even use it anymore.

Thank you and glad I am not alone finding this mostly fluff. This is sadhguru level stuff imo and weird that it is something Naval is associated with now.
