Every year, I come back to "On The Shortness of Life" by Seneca to ground myself to the fact that life keeps on happening and I have to remind myself that life is long enough if I think about it...

I have a custom repo which my .config folder will have symlinks to. It gets synced to remote git (~GITHUB). For new devices, I use stow[0] to create symlinks... [0] - http://www.gnu.org/software/stow/

This made me nostalgic. Back in the school days, I used to write all sorts of QBASIC programs: creating quizzes, basic animation, solving math equations, etc...

Few years back I was a co-founder and director of tech and research. We were not doing well. I was personally struggling financially not just at startup level but also at my person/family level. For 8 months nobody (co-founders) took a

This resonates with me. I also learnt the hard way to simply close all the tabs and then re-assess history if I really want to access the tab. On that note: sometimes I also just use OneTab [0] if my tabs are important but are hogging the

The title hits home, strongly... I have rarely used emojis (let alone I don't have any social media profile, plus only conversate through mails with few people). One thing I realized is the use of emojis from the other side evokes a se

It has its own hiccups. If this addon fails, I simply close the site and try to find alternative sources.

I exactly had the same thought few weeks back on Twitter. Since I have ditched the whole 'social media bubble' for my mental health, it seems sometimes I wish there was some sort of HN-like aggregator for Tweets from my favorite t

This is neat. Over Docsumo [0] we have a combination of ML plus NLP+Computer Vision algorithms to detect the tables: [0] - https://docsumo.com/free-tools/extract-tables-from-pdf-image...

One of my favorite custom bash function is to use up() function to abstract away all the cd ../../../ command. Up 3 will put me 3 directories behind the current one.

I recently bought a new dynamic mic. And it has absolutely changed the way I do WFH. No more crappy noises. No more background sounds. In fact, I believe that having a good microphone is a good initiative to seriously start a better workflo

As someone who tends to walk a lot (often, alone), most of the ideas I get (and solutions for problems) come up while walking. That's why I like to say "walking is thinking".

Exactly. I started one newsletter a year back...I felt quite relieved writing in public [0], especially when I quit all other social media. So, I just write for my own knowledge reinforcement. There will be times when I had to force myself

Grant has been one of the inspirations since my early BE days (that was years ago). I got so much inspired from manim that I tried to make my own animation tool, panim [0] where I implemented mathematical concepts I understood. Nowadays, wh

This is neat. Over Docsumo, I've had fun to build one of the pipelines [0] to extract tables from any kinds of documents. Our older pipelines use image-processing-based approaches. However, they had too much assumptions in them (for i

This same exact thought has been bugging me for a long time. Over our startup (~30ish people), we've experimented on writing on confluence, didn't work. We've tried setting up the knowledge repo [0], it didn't scale much

Having tried running the whole stack on my local a few times in the past -- which didn't work well at that time -- I'm excited to use it now. One question I have is: how much compatible will it be eventually with other tools like

This post resonated me so well... It's been more than a year since I quit Twitter and the likes. I can't stress enough how good it feels to not have constant stream of mental hazard. I decided to rely on my whim to collect informa

This is the first thing in my config, whenever I try to setup in a new system. Now "kj" and ":w" has become more like a muscle memory, even when I am just staring at the abyss...

Hey, our startup recently moved to tara because we couldn't afford jira. Thanks for this tool. We've been using it for a month or two now and the task management seems to be doing fine. Not that we are that much managed, but still

Ditto. This reminds me of write-up by Morgan Housel: long-term knowledge vs expiring knowledge[0]. To optimize that trade-off, I generally try to review, on a weekly basis, what I consume from the internet-verse. This has helped me in some

Glad to see vimium been mentioned. I've been a fan of vimium for a long time as it fits perfectly with my setup of i3 + vim.
