Can anyone compare it to MKNetworkKit ( https://github.com/MugunthKumar/MKNetworkKit/ ) ? I have been using it for a few projects and it's been really helpful. Has the correct level of abstraction.

I would suggest three things (apart from the obvious 'speak in english with others'): #1 read english books. translate every unknown word from dictionary. the words improve vocabulary; the sentences improves grammar. #2 watch engl

I cannot tell you how much I agree with this. When someone in US says good communication skills are important, they think it's racist. I am from Pakistan. When I tell colleagues to master English, they think I am still mentally under B

I think it's a wrong strategy to defend that the data did not prevent the subway attack or for that matter whether it's useful or not. You are standing up for liberties and constitutional rights. And you can't have it both wa

I think we as a whole got a bit overboard with the theory "social networking is the future and whoever controls that, will control the internets" Facebook is a very good utility but it's not everything. The social data might be good for adv

For me the only criteria is to stay away from 'mentors' who have never worked on a product. Being in Pakistan, I get to meet tons of industry experts who have racked up millions solely by outsourcing and creating low-quality software for ch

I tend to dive a lot into a source code when I am working with a library. You always have missing spots in documentation but you can actually know what's going on by reading the code. This is one of the reasons I am super comfortable with B

Parents. I have been travelling for 12 years and I really want to spend time with them now. Both are above 60 and this is the ideal time to be with them. You might ask why they don't just move. That's because the bulk of their life is spent

yea I am not complaining. Regular stuff doesn't sell on media. I am just pointing out at first a bomb blast is likely an eye opener: life is short lets do something before I die. But when it happens every week, it goes to the stage where yo

It's a great read. Though you can only relate to it when bombs are like a once in a lifetime thing. Living in Peshawar, where bomb blasts are a regular occurrence, you slowly get immune to it. To such an extent that even the media doesn't c

Unfortunately rebase doesn't fit well with our team workflow (team is geographically distributed). we use branches and commits to check which user is on which task. everyone pushes code at the end of the day even if it's incomplete. Pushing

150 dynos with Node.js and you are still getting H12 errors? The issue so far reported is that if we ever get multiple requests on a single dyno then we'll have a queuing delay because Rails is essentially single-threaded. But with Node.js

I think you are mis-reading the intention of the post. It's not about caring. It's not that we want to go back and relive the past. It's more about how you are ready to message someone and some older conversation from 2007 pops up. It's a w

Maybe I'm wrong but I think PG's article was focussed towards startup founders. And this article is more towards investors. From a founder perspective, it is not just enough to know which market has the biggest potential in near future but
