Multiple GitHub accounts

This is often debated in early stage startups. Should we ask our employees to create accounts with a company's email ID or let them use their personal github account? Why I'm in no favour of new github accounts for every employee. It isn't logical. Even if the policy says they

Quiz

A few of us started to quiz ourselves amongst our friends, partially influenced by pub quizzes I've attended/conducted, and Kumar Varun's Kvizzing. Our motive wasn't to compete but rather to learn. We craft questions on anything we're curious about, and offer takeaway bits of knowledge, irrespective of whether we

Sorry!

The table heard me saying sorry when I spilled some snacks on it. As the nose blow hard, and I sneezed and whispered Sorry I'm sick into my tissue. Aagh! Sorry I'm late, as I valued their time more than mine. Huh! Sorry I was occupied, despite my occupation is

France/Italy Scams

This is a work in progress. I'm writing based on personal research, allow me to expand. Certain laws in France and Italy don't allow actions against juveniles in few crimes. Hence, better be extra cautious with them. Most of the scams either directly try to extort you of money by

How a morning dew sprinkled on the shrubs, How the rays of sunshine through the windows, How the cloud cover passes above the mountains, How the wind blowing by the dancing trees, How the dust storm travels the desert, How the rain drops echo the rivers, How lost love returns

2023 and beyond

With life moving indefinitely forward in an apparent irreversible ship sailing from the past, through the rough waves of the present, to the beautiful shores of the future, I often wonder what the journey encapsulates. With the winds carry the bags of surprises, the flag post of my ship dances

Vengeance of headless brides

Vengeance of headless brides

In 1730s, a small kingdom on the banks of Rhine in today’s Germany, witnessed the first floods. After weeks of helplessness, the king rowed across flooded fields seeking advice from the lone banished priest. Post the prayer, the priest said, “for there is water, we need fire and blood.

I’ll love you, later!

Dear, Your presence brightens my inability to silence my smile, mute the glow on my face, locks my eyelashes. Your absence brings the undeniable gloom, disparaged eyebrows, and the smile takes rest. My love to you is evident, and my expressions aren’t hidden in their burrows. While I want

Diving into wilderness

Trincomalee, Srilanka. With a countdown of 3..2..1…Jump, I’d hear a splash of water in the calm ocean. Within few fin movements, I’d transit from the familiar world of today to the underworld with memories from thousands of years ago. As I delve deeper, with my

Board Games & Puzzles

I've been introduced to Board Games via Karan, my flatmate in Mumbai who had no less than a hundred games in his collection back then. As I've moved out later on, the hobby didn't grow on me due to lack of opportunities. Almost 3 years later, I've moved to Bangalore

Quick, what's web3?

Web 1 — Everyone sees same content when they open a website. Servers just had filesystem and nothing else. Creation is limited to people with some learning curve. Ran from 1991-2004. Still a significant part of current ecosystem under CDNs. This is analogous to newspapers and other such media. We can

Platonic friendships

Platonic friendships

The boundaries are often unclear, and yet the intertwined lifestyles blur the distance, in friendship. There’s no exclusivity, no commitment, no priority. The existence of one another is celebrated, the joys and successes of others matter a lot but they’re not in our head when life replays. It’

Police and tracking mobile phones

Can anyone (police) track us through phone number? Thanks to crime patrol, this is a common question I get from people everywhere. So, let’s get to it. What is location? In the context, location refers to a particular latitude and longitude co-ordinates that’d geographically map to a unique

Homebrew as non-admin

Some compliances love complications. And one such, is restricting homebrew commands to admin user. As the package manager is crucial for several softwares, it's imperative to find a way to install it for local user without calling IT administrator. * To install homebrew in a directory called homebrew in home mkdir

Enforcing pre-commit hooks

Enforcing pre-commit hooks

When team works together, it's often natural and best to have pre-commit hooks that aligns style, and basic syntax checks before the code makes it to main branch. However, enforcing this often becomes a cultural topic, as people have to follow it by practice. Due to friction and time constraints,

Passing docker images without registry

I always wished for a way to quickly transfer a docker image from one machine to other machine, without the hassle of registry setup and access control. Until today, I was always sending (copy-paste) Dockerfile and building the image in destination machine again. Given the predictability, it works wonderful. But,
