Sarvasv, You should explore this further! Once you are past the basic syntax, I think there are world of possibilities that can be explored.

We used flexviews for MySQL. It would use the MySQL bin log to read through the actual DML queries (UPDATE, DELETE, INSERT), parse the query and then make changes to the materialised views based on the dependency tree defined by the SQL que

Is this without any incentives from Uber? From what I’ve seen in India, the drivers have to work really hard and do 50-69 hour days to get a decent living. With Uber taking a 30% cut, and the driver themselves having to cough up the repairs

Congratulations on the move! This may sound very pedantic, but please spend a week reading “High Output Management” by Andy Grove. The biggest change that happens when you move from a individual to a team lead is that suddenly you have a te

A complete digress, but OOPS still shines in the domain of GUI widgets programming where there are a limited number of interfaces and a huge number of widgets (implementations) working with that interface. FP works conversely, on a limited

A python decorator is just a syntactic sugar for : f = decorator(f) Afaik, the decorator deals with the internal function as a black box. But with lisp being a lisp, the macro writer can choose the level of blackboxiness they want to deal w

The error message in every language requires that the programmer know the language themselves. ‘bad_match’ error in erlang is as much of a enigma to a C programmer as is a ‘bad operator’ in C to a python programmer. It is not the error mess
