I made a script which would automatically check my visa application status a couple of times a day: A simple selenium script which went to the embassy website and downloaded the latest new PDFs for visa decisions, and search the PDF text

This is pretty much what I have observed in my social circle, and my own personal usage too. Once they removed checkins and moved it to another app, most of the people were outraged and decided they didn't want another app. The few who

This is the problem in having a vague landing page which doesn't explain anything. While browserify allows you to use node modules in the browser, NW.js (like node-webkit) allows you to build applications by providing a DOM and brow

There are a lot of fun things you could do drunk. Coding is not one of them.

As an Indian software developer who has some exposure to the outsourcing industry, I have to say that I can't disagree with anything the article has to say.

Great news for them. I built a dashboard a few months ago using graphs which pull data from InfluxDB and I had a lot of fun with it. To me, it seem a whole lot easier to use than Graphite.

I think Oil and oil related industries would be good bet. Plastics, fertilizer, etc.

It depends on how you define tech companies.. Their main product is a transportation service, but there is obviously a lot of tech involved. Similarly, there are websites which deal with selling clothes, so you could ask if they are in reta

I have been looking at your replies at this thread, and I think you are confusing legality with ethics (at least in the nature of the law and visa regulations). I am sure it is perfectly legal to work on something for your brother, while

The article talks about numbers, finance, GDP and economy without explaining the politics of it. How are they going to attempt reunifying with a country which is run by an autocratic regime that has essentially brain washed its citizens int

No harm to learning Python, especially when you are a student and have the time. You need to learn multiple languages/platforms, and learn to use the best tool for the problem.

Don't underestimate the old fashioned way of making friends.. Hit the bar, have a few drinks, talk to other people at the bar.

Considering that they are actively hiring in their Mumbai office, I really doubt that they are shutting down.

For remote jobs, these practices are quite common. They aren't making you work for long hours. Working during odd hours is not uncommon for even local jobs for jobs which need it (establishments which remain open during odd hours of th

I don't have the patience to discover and curate a lot of music myself these days (atleast not enough to last my work day), so I like a couple of online radio stations. This one is my favorite: WritheM Radio's Programming Electron

Most interviewers/companies understand that you work during usual work hours. That said, you should be able to step out for 15 minutes to take a call during work. If you get questioned about it, just tell them that it was an important

It is too volatile right now.. I have seen it drop from 1k to 400 in a relatively very short period of time. Plus, it has issues in India. There aren't any good exchanges (any more) here.

It supports a few in India too.. Impressive. Though it is quite pricey.

Okay, I am just going to say what's in my mind. It may sound harsh, but it's what I think of it. Maybe this pizza tastes good, maybe this pizza tastes bad. But what if I don't really want pizza at all? I don't see one re

From what I can make out, there is no reason why you shouldn't get paid more money. You don't owe this company anything.. If they are left with nobody, it is because they didn't keep their one developer happy. It doesn't

I just assumed that the Chromecast API is open. I am a little surprised to learn that it's not.

Oh. I am kinda surprised that the API isn't an open API. I don't know why I just assumed that it is.

The "send to chromecast" feature on Firefox android app is awesome, but I was kinda hoping that they added this to the desktop application too. I know that stuff like this is usually left for add-ons, but there isn't a good f

I just want to add a point here about the travelling aspect: I am a remote developer, and I have found out that working while travelling is counter productive. When you are in a new place, you'd ideally want to spend as much time as po
