I use Twitter as a commonplace note: https://t.co/vPr6DeA0d4 CTO In Sales • Homeschooling dad Building @siteaudittools & @thoughttonote
Tomorrow we will hear, "I don't do south-north politics. The day I do, I will not be worthy of public life" And everything will be ok. We will move on. That is the spirit of Indians - throw BS. We wipe and move on.
As part of our #homeschooling, tomorrow boys will have a test. They've been learning @webflow for a month. I'm going to give them three pages to recreate in #webflow. Boys will re-create one page separately. They'll have 4 hours to re-create. This test reflects real life.…
Govt is a sleeping partner of my business. I do all the business. They take all the profits.
2 months back we tasted fried ice cream. Jerry fell in love with it. He searched for the recipe and he made fried ice cream at home. Here is his video: Please subscribe to the channel. #homeschooling #cooking
Every Sunday evening we conduct a retro as a family. This is what my younger son wrote abt the last week. Let kids plan their week and let them look back. It builds agency in them. That’s the best gift you can give them as a parent. #retro #homeschooling #parenting
A leader is best when people barely know he exists. When his work is done. His aim fulfilled. They will say: We did it ourselves. - Lao Tsu This is why Manmohan Singh is a leader. He was invisible. But India prospered.
As a parent, you are a facilitator of learning for your kids. That's the fundamental principle by which we started homeschooling our kids. Glad to see the fruits of that principle manifesting. Few months back we tasted fried ice cream. We all loved it. Jerry loves to be a…
If BS, ET, Financial Express are printing "grossly misleading and false" headings of this news, what other "financial and economic" news they are printing false and misleading? Probably to rethink reading these newspapers.
"It is a reverse fear mongering to defend their own stand" Politicians like Sachin should go on lots of podcast to expose the hypocrisy of BJP
Talking of car insurance, there is something new - nil depreciation. Basically something new to sell to customers.
For all the talk of "customer obsession" and "work backwards from what customer wants", what actually happens in framing pricing is: "what can we extract from the customer and get away with it"
Did GitHub Copilot really increase my productivity? The answer to my question above is a very definite "no, I am more productive without it". Let me explain. • Copilot is unpredictable • Copilot is slooooow Read the full post here: #coding #gpt
Is this just a cynical view of AI bots or one that reflects reality?
Snowballs, not slot machines "Slot machine" is chasing momentary thrill: • getting lost in watching YouTube shots • drifting aimlessly through Twitter • playing video games mindlessly These activities give you a quick hit of dopamine, a fleeting sense of pleasure. They don't…
If you have to choose between @golang and @deno_land for #dataengineering, what would be your choice and why?
Since most of us write for experts (at work, for sales etc), I think this is a good read.
Signed up to @raindrop_io pro version Imported all other bookmarks (from readwise, pocket etc). Raindrop identified duplicates & 404s. Cleaned up and good to go.
Hey @AmysMargin : Just reading through and I have to tell you it is a deeply insightful work. Thanks for writing this.
Wow. Twitter co-founder Biz Stone joins @joinmastodon board: Is fediverse becoming the next best thing?
I am sure most of you have read Alchemist. My elder son (14) read it and it has become his fav book. He created an illustrated video review of the book (and the author) and 5 lessons from the book. • Fear of suffering is more painful than suffering itself • Listen to your…
> led them to advocating for Hamas and not even stopping to learn about what happened in Israel on October 7 should we extend this logic and say, if the other side would stop to learn about what happened in Palestine before Oct 7th .... I don't support Hamas. But which is the…
Having too much fun at #fediverse and rediscovering web as it used to be: meeting interesting people and having cool conversation. Not everything has to be competitive and done for engagement.
Engineering takes us to the moon. Art takes us to our neighbor's heart. Art makes engineering meaningful. Engineering makes art possible. We need both for our civilization.
Is @ICICIBank selling their customer's email ids? How did @StableMoney_ get my specific email id, because I use specific email ids for each services I sign-up.
I followed @mehd_io tutorial on @motherduck blog on how to get started with @duckdb : Very clear step-by-step guide to get started with #duckdb. Didn't the great Mary Poppins say, "Well begun, is half done". Thanks Mehdi for that "well begun"
I am learning @duckdb (as a starting point for data-engineering & data pipelines) and sharing my reasons and journey here. Follow along if you are interested.
What is your #techstack for your side-hustle? Here is mine:
Love your career not your company. As long as employees appear on the liability side of financial statements, these things are going to happen. No amount of sugar-coating (we are a family ...) or other word-salads will mean anything.
If you want to run a single instance, low-memory footprint fediverse, Gotosocial is a great choice. Here I share the steps to install Gotosocial on @opalstack servers
There is no transparency without trust. It goes both ways. Companies and candidates.
We have only 12 summers with our kids. How are you spending that time?
Over the weekend, I read a blog post on DuckDB and it intrigued me. DuckDB is sqlite for data analytics. So I started reading about it. This book by @motherduck is a comprehensive intro to it. I'm sharing my progress here:
In India, I would live for 78 years In the US, I would live for 88 years In the UK, I would live for 91 years I knew there would be difference in longevity in different regions, but about a decade?
You can’t pursue happiness. Happiness is a byproduct. Go do hard things. Become happy.
When kids understand SOPs 👇 My kids have been reading Personal MBA by @joshkaufman. Here is my younger one’s understanding of standard operating procedures. Tell me if he got it right? Read it here:
A very good test to find if they are curious. How can we use this in job interviews @pankaj013 ?
These same techies who complain about freebies for the poor demand free food, free gym memberships, and free cabs from their offices. They don't seem to notice the cognitive dissonance.
Will industrial co-operatives work in all parts of the world? What are the successful examples this model? Seems quite interesting:
When you read the gospels in NT, you read Jesus calling out Pharisees for exactly for this. Apparently he would do the same if he is here today.
> You can't choose one point and ignore the others good points. See this type of comparisons often even by educated folks. It is cheaper for a driver to drive around in Holland than parking. We should increase parking fees in India. etc. Arbitrary points. Arbitrary debates.
Why I love twitter ;-)
Some ideas for our Indian media from Greek weather reporting.
Thanks to @LouisLazaris 's web tools newsletter, found a great AI generated photos site: Photos seems real and not the typical AI generated ones. Going to use them for blog posts etc.
Haven't seen this before on twitter. You can't reply to a tweet that is in a community unless you join the community. I know there is "communities" but didn't know this feature.
You want to work on your side-hustle. Saturday is free. That’s the only time you have to work on what refreshes your soul. Then @Airtel_Presence downs their fiber connection. They say it will take a day to rectify. All your enthusiasm goes down the drain.
Has rain in Dubai migrate to Panchkula? Heavy rains.
A strange error in #golang #gorm I am connecting to a postgresql hosted on a server. When I use `DB, err := ((Config.DBUrl), &gorm.Config{})` I get an error saying " password authentication failed" But when I hard code the…
Somehow I am more productive in #golang than #deno I thought it would be the other way around.
Honest reviews accelerates whatever was going on. I agree with @MKBHD Do Bad Reviews Kill Companies?
At least this was not the case with some of the central govt projects that I'm aware of (in last cong govt). They all had oversight by @NISG . Plus most of the govt dept/ministries had their own e-gov division with a director / joint secys overseeing large e-gov projects.
