Pandas is something that I wish I could avoid at any cost but I can't. There is simply no design philosophy. API is as ugly as it gets. I find it greatly unintuitive. It feels like a giant missmash of hacks on top of other hacks. Somet

I am clueless about these licensing matters. How does Google own partial copyright to Linux? I thought Linux is something independent.

Holy shit! I didn't know about that. If true, this is pure evil. Any source for further reading? Edit - never mind. I have just gone through 2 articles and now my blood is boiling.

I hate to admit that I always 'steal' those little soap. And the reason I give myself that they are going to throw it anyway so why not keep it?

And yet he is so coward that he always avoid interviews, except for may be 2-3 interviews (read PR stunts) which were conducted by sycophants like Rajat Sharma who has dedicated his life to Modi. Other than that, he never faced any open int

Fundamentally they are same but their depth of crimes aren't same. Congress did appease minorities but it never was like 'let us kill all muslims'. Fundamentally and ideologically, congress is neither anti hindu or anti musli

Until 2014, BJP was the only democratic party in India which wasn't run by a authoritarian person. Current BJP is now the most authoritarian party where Modi-Shah call the shots. Can you name even a single person who is critical of Mod

RSS is the ideological parent of currently ruling political party (BJP). The second head and most powerful figure in RSS history was Golwalkar and he openly praised Hitler for 'fighting for his culture'. https://thewir

I am bring lazy but I can cite at least 200 cases (from recent past) where Modi regime (mis)used government agencies to harass its critics/opponents/muslims and timing of each misuse was impeccable. As a case study, just see the u

Indira wasn't a saint but Modi is evil personified. Emergency was invoked and was soon revoked. If you are careful, you can see India is now again under Emergency since 2015. And things are getting worse. The difference between 1975 an

Let me tell you my anecdotal experience. Modi came in power in 2014 and till than I was BJP (Modi's party) supporter. Then I began to see how dangerous Modi is to society as a whole. In short, he is modern, complex sophisticated versi

I don't know why but I feel your comment is threatening to him. Also, poor argument.

That thing called pager. It appeared at once (in India) and before I lay my hand on it, it disappeared. I don't think any other gadget had such a short lifespan.

If target userbase is HN like crowd, charging a small fee is fine. However, I feel this model won't be scalable to general public. Hybrid model (make payments or see ads) might also be worth exploring.

May be a bit extreme comment but not completely nonsensical. It is raising somewhat valid point. Currently Russian regime is not that much different from NK regime. Both are under sanctions. In fact, Russia is more dangerous than NK in curr

I try to read everything Wolfram has written and generally finds his writings quite enjoyable. After reading lots of hsi writings, I noticed one thing which I don't like. It seems like he always tries to belittle other giants (albeit i

Kudos to you! However, even after reading your comment, I am not convinced an average guy will understand any of those terms. I've seen this. I've seen many many people struggling to set up a blog. Heck, even I struggled about thi

This is a heart breaking story. Stories like these really put life in a different perspective. This sort of reminds of me my brother's wife story. She died of Glioblastoma at very young age (age 34). Thank you for sharing this.

Although I haven't completed it fully, but it is absolutely a masterpiece. The structure and the lucid explanation is something every author should learn from this. Not too yechnifal and yet covers every fundamental aspect. This alongw

What are the chances somes org is tracking who is using Tor? I mean one can't see what I am browsing on Tor browser, but the fact I am using Tor or have downloaded Tor, is it also hidden information? Sorry, I know very little about it.

I've never used Tor and practically know nothing about it. But I always wondered about something like this many time. I mean, while using Tor, sites can't track you or fingerprint you. But the fact you setup Tor in itself gives so

Unless you are hell-bent on writing obfuscated code, Python code is almost always readable. Even when I didn't know any Python or any other language, I could make an educated guess what some Python program is doing. However, I have see

For me it's been other way round. I mean I was actually very much interested in genetics so I encountered Rosalind. Going through Rosalind, I realized I need to learn Python and I didn't know any programming till then. So my first
