I did a search on "How Inuit parents teach kids to control their anger" and didn't find anything, hence, I submitted the link. Otherwise I wouldn't have.

Even if some Intuits do opposite of what the article says, how does that refute what article is trying to convey - good parenting, controlling anger, and importance of story telling? I think you are focusing on "Inuit" part of sto

I have used rust but I think it has another year before it really shines. 2020 is the year of Rust - async/await, tool ecosystem, various crate stability, etc is happening fast.

What is your definition of system programmer? If you mean closer to hardware, i’d recommend its worth the switch. Jobs are moving higher in stack and lower layers are more and more stable and abstracted away. Most companies dont need low la

Here is my list, which is biased towards Linux. Almost all the books mentioned here are dated and primarily written for 2.6 based kernels. Although many concepts are still applicable and in certain subsystems, the code will be as is with mi

For many years it was plain text with Vim. Then started using Trello, then Zenkit for immediate actionable things. But in parallel also used Apple notes and now days Agenda.

Usually grad level courses were about reading research papers. And many times the exercise is to read the paper, try to predict what next para or page will be about and even try to find faults, even though there might be none. I assume Math

Irrespective of language and framework, if the code needs to be aware of underlying hardware then it is systems programming. ex. kernel code, user-space drivers, databases, portions of cloud or server code which need to be hardware aware, e

One of the reasons why India needs some kind of people authentication is rampant corruption! Corruption at a scale that most of people in Europe or US cant even imagine. Add to it the culture which celebrates corruption and eulogizes people

As you said there might be some "basic ML" involved in credit rating but that can probably replaced by mean/median/mode kind of computation easily. Although this is one area which ML can completely take over, i.e. instea
