Ultimately, it's an internal battle. A battle of bureaucracy+ignorance vs democracy+optimism+innovation. The side that weighs more wins. And the adversaries are hoping it's the for…

Irrespective of the political leadership, it's unlikely that USA military is completely oblivious about the new modes of wars - cheap drones, AI, rapid build-outs (e.g. in China). …

I live in the New England and last year got a quote for replacing my existing boiler and furnace with two heat pumps. MassSave offers a good rebate program with $10k rebate. The pr…

Does anyone know where is official golang in its support for WASM? Last time I checked you had to use a fork of Go called TinyGo.

For a layperson, the passwords are easy to understand and provide enough ways to shoot themselves in the foot. Unless you are an expert, password hygiene can rarely be accomplished…

This will probably not work for everyone, but works pretty well for me. I simply use the "default" Mac OS/iOS apps: - Photos (shared via iCloud) - Notes - Music - iCloud for file s…

AI may be meta's only and real "grow out of newsfeed business" card. They should probably pivot, release their own version of ChatGPT/VoiceGPT, start charging for it and maybe rebr…

It’s about time. We probably need to go even faster, like face melting faster to remain competitive/relevant. Frankly though, this is just one of the dimensions. There is also the …

It’s hard to be an absolutist on such a big question. Everyone has distilled it in their own ways. I will throw mine: There is no purpose of life. Life is THE purpose. To experienc…

It’s hard to predict. Companies with good DNA can bounce back. Take a look at Microsoft. They were written off in Google’s hay days. Google has a good technology DNA. I think they …

I have never had any brush with the giant. But I have my own little story to share. Way back in 1998, I was a newly minted engineer in India and was visiting Bangalore. While roami…

Resident Alien - I think that’s how USCIS calls people who do intend to stay but not immigrate

Having recently started writing Java once again, i am horrified at the mess that it has become. Between reactive streams, completable futures, guice wiring, it feels like voodoo. I…

I am big fan of Elon Musk. But the way things are going, I predict he will end up in one of the following ways: - end up in jail, as he has ruffled too many feathers. Someone will …

They don't say much on why not Envoy. It would be interesting to hear if there were concerns with it.

This is likely going to be controversial. I am all for more time off. But the way the world is evolving, to maintain its competitiveness, America cants really afford to be slacking…

A bit poetic, but suddenly the universe feels a bit more approachable, more within reach, a bit more sane. As if, through JWST, you can extend your hand and touch and feel and soci…

It's all about digestion: 1. Eat your dinner at-least 2 hours before you go to bed 2. Don't drink water for 2 hours after the meal. Let the food digest 3. Eat more of easy to diges…

Well let perfect not be the enemy of the good. The reality is that Go is wildly successful in practice for good reasons that have been hashed numerous times. As a result tons of Cl…

After having tried a number of approaches, including various VIM plugins, I decided to go with the Apple Notes. If you are bought into Apples ecosystem, it works incredibly well. S…

Frankly, I am happy to hear about this upcoming change. It is true that it’s easy to pop in/out a physical SIM. But I am hoping/projecting that eSIM will become equally easy to plo…

While it is easy to start with monolith, it's not easy to just go from monolith to Microservices in case it is determined that's the best path forward. Often organizations don't ha…

Frankly, this is what America has always been about - A combination of science, technology and capitalism. We need a lot more of these moonshots attempted at a massive scale. So wh…

Few changes that have helped me greatly towards a happier life are: 1. Cutting out alcohol 2. 15 minute meditation before sleeping 3. Regular exercise - e.g from YouTube 4. Eating …
