Scene of Electronic City #Bengaluru, the first IT SEZ of India. Is the whole city like this? No, this is mostly in IT corridors. These area lies far from the center, loosely controlled by BBMP. It gave 1100cr property taxes last year! #BengaluruRains

This was the scene near Manyata at 6 AM this morning. We contacted #namma112, but no one showed up. They kept saying they’d come and then disconnected the call. #BengaluruRains #BengaluruFloods #BrandBengaluru

Tuition classes are also the reason we were never able to fix our schools. We externalised their failure onto the children. We mined the life force of the next generation to pay corrupt administrators and subsidize bad policy. And this is why I am an advocate of sane working…

Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped, thinking he had completed the race. A Spanish runner, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him and, realizing what was happening, started shouting at the Kenyan to…

As someone at or near the bottom of the software stack, I'd like to endorse this quote.

Lukewarm take: The lower on the technology stack you sit, the less mistakes you are allowed to make.

Knowing a bit of Unix command line and some git internals is super power. Recovered a colleague's four days of work from a crashed computer's encrypted drive in a few minutes.

Just thought of doing a random comparison, of a top rated Chinese University (Tsinghua) and top rated Indian University (IISc). I am not picking on any institution, but trying to make a comparison. Generally, the top performing institutions are the best funded ones. At least…

Fire in the lab. Luckily I have smoke detectors in the house. I was able to put out the fire quickly! A lithium polymer battery exploded and caught fire. I will no longer use LiPo batteries. The battery was new and not connected.

If we don't keep raising awareness of low-level programming skills, the skillset will disppear forever under a sea of SDKs, binary blobs and proprietary chips. C programming matters, assembly language matters.

Yes, we post a lot about programming languages and it gets people very excited and opinionated. But we do this to raise awareness that there is still a place for low-level code outside of Operating System development. FFmpeg still needs low-level optimisations to be fast
