I made a script which would automatically check my visa application status a couple of times a day: A simple selenium script which went to the embassy website and downloaded the la…

It doesn't seem to be reporting anything for a while now (on apps or website). A quick search on Twitter shows several people complaining. No official response from Google or anyth…

This is pretty much what I have observed in my social circle, and my own personal usage too. Once they removed checkins and moved it to another app, most of the people were outrage…

Anyone else thinks its weird that there is no prize? (nothing mentioned in the blog post at least)

This is the problem in having a vague landing page which doesn't explain anything. While browserify allows you to use node modules in the browser, NW.js (like node-webkit) allows y…

Automatic machines which do both in one place have been around for decades atleast. Or were you being sarcastic? I can't tell

There are a lot of fun things you could do drunk. Coding is not one of them.

As an Indian software developer who has some exposure to the outsourcing industry, I have to say that I can't disagree with anything the article has to say.

Great news for them. I built a dashboard a few months ago using graphs which pull data from InfluxDB and I had a lot of fun with it. To me, it seem a whole lot easier to use than G…

Location: Mumbai, India Remote: Yes. I am currently working remotely for an American startup Willing to relocate: No, not at this time. Maybe 6 months in the future Technologies: N…

I think Oil and oil related industries would be good bet. Plastics, fertilizer, etc.

It depends on how you define tech companies.. Their main product is a transportation service, but there is obviously a lot of tech involved. Similarly, there are websites which dea…

I have been looking at your replies at this thread, and I think you are confusing legality with ethics (at least in the nature of the law and visa regulations). I am sure it is per…

The article talks about numbers, finance, GDP and economy without explaining the politics of it. How are they going to attempt reunifying with a country which is run by an autocrat…

No harm to learning Python, especially when you are a student and have the time. You need to learn multiple languages/platforms, and learn to use the best tool for the problem.

Don't underestimate the old fashioned way of making friends.. Hit the bar, have a few drinks, talk to other people at the bar.

Considering that they are actively hiring in their Mumbai office, I really doubt that they are shutting down.

For remote jobs, these practices are quite common. They aren't making you work for long hours. Working during odd hours is not uncommon for even local jobs for jobs which need it (…

I am just here to figure out how you managed to get that much credit.

Wow, it looks like you can chat with your Gmail contacts from outlook. This looks quite promising.

I don't have the patience to discover and curate a lot of music myself these days (atleast not enough to last my work day), so I like a couple of online radio stations. This one is…

Most interviewers/companies understand that you work during usual work hours. That said, you should be able to step out for 15 minutes to take a call during work. If you get questi…

It is too volatile right now.. I have seen it drop from 1k to 400 in a relatively very short period of time. Plus, it has issues in India. There aren't any good exchanges (any more…

It supports a few in India too.. Impressive. Though it is quite pricey.
