yeah, I'm sure. Someone who is passionate about these things will go the distance to use advance features like these. I know that the Switch isn't capable of running at 4K. I play it at 1080 on the telly. It's relatively larg

That is true. I have bought several games and I don't even play that much. I don't know much about Pokemon. I read somewhere that when the Switch first came out it was just a Zelda machine. I've seen my colleagues play it at

Thanks man. I honestly had no idea. I'm not a gamer. The reason I like the Switch is because it offers some fun cartoonish sort of games. Nothing serious. I can barely beat my wife in Super Smash Bros Ultimate! :D I like MarioKart and

I find this interesting. But I'm not sure if I follow why I would want to do it. If I own a Switch(which I do) and the games, I'm perfectly happy playing on the telly! Sorry, just wondering.

Hey mate.. the probability course was really rigorous and I found the difficulty to be hard, especially with a full time job. I failed the first time, but mostly because I didn't have enough time to study. It's awesome deep dive i

I agree with this. I'm currently taking the Statistics and Data Science MicroMasters from MIT on the EDX platform. When you see a course titled "Introduction to .... ", it's never really an introductory material. They go

I'm an immigrant in Australia. When millions of citizens and residents are out of jobs, I think asking the govt to provide free money to international students might be asking a bit too much. I don't think any other country is doi

I'm taking the Micromasters in Statistics and Data Science from MIT. It's awesome and now I want to continue studying and probably get my masters after this. It's very rigorous though. I'm not doing this for job prospect

Stick to mainstream manufacturers even if you've the money. My Mitsubishi SUV has all the safety features I need that don't even come standard in the some of the mid-range BMW models that cost twice as much. Buy a Lexus if you wan

When I create an EMR cluster with 10 nodes with 16 cores each. I get 10 cpu nodes with 1.3 terabytes of RAM. Costs $10 per hour! I use it to run Spark to process and analyse data. Amazon has the option to have GPU based nodes too! If I run

I used Android phones for several years before switching to an iPhone 8 two years ago. I think the major reason why manufacturers don't care to provide updates is because they don't expect those phones to last more than 2 years. I

I don't think it works on Macs. Besides, these days I listen to music only while driving or on trains! I've given up on Linux due to many reasons, mostly because I need a reliable Laptop with a UNIX based OS where all my dev tools

You're right. I did use it. Thanks for the reminding. Then a bunch of others from other open source projects. I've been mostly using Macs in the recent years.

I remember trying to play it on Linux using Wine back in 2004/05! I don't remember if I succeeded! It was the only one thing that I missed from the Windows world.

I did part of the ML course. I've been pondering over which language to choose to advance my functional programming journey. I've been torn between choosing Lispy variants such as Scheme, Racket, Clojure etc or the ML variants suc

I don't know about the best. But I usually get either Devondale or Mainland I think. It'd be interesting to get butter produced in the local Victorian farms. :) Any suggestions where to get better butter?

That's the thing. I never liked the yoghurt back home. :D I like the Greek Youghurt here a lot. But, I did enjoy Lassi. I'm from Orissa.

I grew up eating that. And yes I did savour the the brown residue with roti/paratha, enhanced with a bit of sugar. That's why I can never eat margarine. I do my best to buy the best quality butter from the supermarkets here in Mel

I'm still using an iPhone 8. It's been great and I wasn't looking for a replacement yet. However, it's nice to know that I can get one in the same size. I don't want a big phone. I was reading through some of the th
