My first job was in Infosys back in 2001. Coming from a lower-middle class farming family, it was a huge deal. My monthly gross was something my dad (farmer) + mom (school teacher) would earn in an entire year. I remember my dad proudly put

Isn't the tax already withheld at the time of vest? I mean sure at some point your tax rate is going to be much higher than the withholding rate so you end up paying extra over it. Concentration is the real risk. I know many people at

Neither does Facebook. Using user data to target ads is different than selling data to third parties.

They don't ask leetcode questions for Front-end engineers AFAIK. It's mostly practical Javascript/DOM/browser questions. Funnily enough though, I heard once you join as a Front-end engineer, you are pretty much a regular

Ultimately meat substitutes are yet more processed crap. If you want to try to cut down meat, I'd recommend trying any number of cuisines that have culturally evolved largely around plant based foods and sustainable fish. Most cuisines

This article makes it seem that the new translation is novel in some way. These are stories (of Krishna's demise and Pandavas hike to Meru) I've read in childhood countless times. Mahabharata isn't just an epic of absolute go

#1 is not a real problem on practice. If the concern is payload size, gzip solves it for the most part. If the concern is consistency (e.g. there's an update to author and it needs to propagate to all books from this author), most grap

Not contesting harmonium being popular. It IS very popular, I was just trying to interpret what the article is trying to say that the Indian classical music purists have a thing against it.

Violin and mandolin are indeed popular (and so is saxophone), but harmonium isn't. The top few hits on Youtube are either some sort of Hindustani/Carnatic fusion or solos by a hobbyist. I did find a few real performances though, b

No classical music teacher (especially Karnataka classical) uses harmonium though, which is the point of this article I guess.

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but India isn't a tiny country with a single temperature zone. Cities like Bangalore have great weather year long. The real problem is dust and pollution.

I installed TikTok after seeing the above tweet but all I got was boobs and ass. I don't know if I'm supposed to be actively liking and disliking content but it is a hard pass for me.
