I just read about the 'Learn to Code' nonsense. It seems some journalists told coal miners to learn coding for a living. Wtf.. As a person doing formal CS education after 1 year of work, i take offense for that comment. Coding jobs are dragged to the ground by these comments which imply that coding is a no skill, for everyone job. Opinions ?

Wanted to test out random number generation in different distributions. So did it using HTML/JS using google charts APIs, just to find out after sometime that R does what i did by default..

This is getting infectious now.. It is spreading to human languages.. We have to do something real quick..

After 1 and half years of irritation with Cinnamon, finally got Unity working..😁😁. You realise the importance of something only when you are without them..

Am i the only person complaining about Android being a fucking irritating load of bloatware, which you cant escape from. I just cant understand how we are being Okay with such a huge bloated OS which doesnt do any justice to the hardware. Views ?

Awkward moments in an interview where the person was repeatedly saying that , "werr you coding in your old job ?", "Here you will be doing a lot of coding " and shit like that. When he asked about my hobby immediately after , i say i am a blogger. When i was asked what my last blog was it was awkward to mention that " How the word coding is offensive for software developer !"

Couldnt have asked for a better timing..

Does anyone know any offline program like jsonresume to create pdf resumes..? It seems jsonresume is broken, and everytime i try it builds a pdf with no theme at all..

I need a resume where space is not wasted and i dont want to rewrite the entire css to make that happen. Suggesting a specific jsonresume theme i.e. style.css and .hdr file would also help because i found a blog where it was explained how to build a html resume using these..

And is there any offline html to pdf converters ?

Just want to put it out there.. Please dont degrade yourself by calling yourself a coder ...

Saw a movie related to Data Security and Data privacy. The movie ended 1 hour ago and i am now terrified how my data is going to end up somewhere where it can be misused .Frantically removed all app permissions from my mobile. Wonder how many days it will last. But now after hearing such gory details , i wonder how i can keep my interests safe in this world. I am now even afraid to give my laptop for changing its battery.. Thinking of wiping all possible compromisable data. But dont know how to.

How will technologies like blockchain affect this ? Will it make it worse or is it trying to make it better..?

The Git series is getting larger and larger. As i get into more complicated topics day by day , i request git geeks and beginners alike to take a look at the above and provide feedback if possible..

Can anyone in the Webapp industry tell me why Progressive Web Apps is not creating enough buzz right now ? I have read some posts regarding the problems of PWAs.

But apart from that is it really difficult to create a PWA instead of a native one ?

Got fired for taking the initial steps for higher studies . i.e. Writing an entrance test..

Not sure whether to be happy or to be sad..

I honestly think it is not that bad that github is now acquired by MS...
I ve read various articles that explains MS has saved github from 'extinction due to lack of leadership' ..
As long as they dont affect the base thing and are planning to sell wrappers around github, i think it is a good thing for business..Because i always think that an open source project is more stable , when a leading company makes a lot of money providing its wrapper .. The company would make all steps possible to make sure that github doesnt become obselete ( which it will if MS makes it bloated with its extensions ) Example Redhat for linux..

By seeing many posts here, i only see hatred towards Windows and IE , not fear about MS acquiring github.

1 tab of a crappy payment site in firefox takes 128% of my CPU ? wtf...

I was just preparing my resume, since the old one was too immature . Realised that i couldnt put anything of note..that wasnt immature..

A complete year wasted on nothing..

Exploring Git Branching ...

I learnt more about git and how it goes about doing its stuff.. And decided to bestow that wisdom.upon the world..

What is the most straightforwardest solution in the entire history of the world..??

My head : Putting prints all over the fucking universe ..

If at all debugging was algorithmic like that..

The 2 worst days of my life has made me to think whether i have made the right career choice..

Solved my first sizeable bug ever.. The Euphoria is priceless .. I better enjoy this till team mates say this is another normal bug..

https://linuxfromanoobie.wordpress.com/...

Not that anyone will need it here.. But just wanted people to have a look at these and get comments about how to go about this in the coming days..

Thank you.

Read an article about "Who is gonna grab the position of Google ". Nice jnsight about how a giant like Google can lose control of Android , due to proliferation of cross platform apllications . Instilled fear in my mind due to my lack of mobile developement knowledge . Interesting perspective on how cross platform developement can trigger downfall of Android..

Visited a store to buy Amazon Kindle . Explored to find amazon echo . Amazed by the quality of voice recognition at the price of 5000 INR.. Also was shocked to find Amazon firestick at that price..

Amazon is the new Apple..Or..Apple was a overhyped version of Amazon.

Everytime i buy any electronics , my brother would suggest me to buy latest ones with the newest configuration . His logic was " If you buy a not-so new tech now.. It will outdate fast and you will end up with an outdated one soon.. So the extra 10K is worth considering that " .

Considering the development trend i personally think it is useless to invest in electronics unless necessary . Everytime i buy an electronic product , within 2 or 3 months i find the same good at almost 75% of the price.. So with tech prices falling like this.. i think it is worth saving that money instead of the cutting edge tech which i wont need for another 2 years .

Thoughts ?

(The cousin brother i mentioned does this everytime he buys a phone and ends up changing the phone 4 times faster than me.. and the use case is similar to mine if not worse..)

Great !! Why would a tech giant like amazon work against linux ?

Amazon Prime music doesnt work with Linux/Firefox , but suddenly works when i switch user agent to Windows/Firefox . They are somehow purposefully blocking out linux ! Why ?? Whyyy ??

Does anyone else think that phone manufacturers are scamming us with higher specs like 6Gigs of RAM and 16 MP Camera..? Most of us dont even use those 3 GB .. let alone 6..

Spending more resource on problem solving rather than investing on programming languages. Train people with useful projects rather than small snippets.. Both of these will prepare them for the harsh reality..

I am doing a small application using C++ as a side project to learn C++ Developement. It would be better if i have a small UI . Will ncurses be okay ? Does it have any utility now ? Is there a better way ? Please keep in mind i am a beginner in terms of application developement..
