🚨 Should India make work from home mandatory for a few days?

@stevesi “Outlook definitely changed the equation”. Outlook? Outlook (New) ? New Outlook? (New) Outlook?

You would find the same level of performance on the same "typical" hardware (the 486dx was the latest and 16MB was 8x the system requirements) on each release of Office through 2007 (95, 97, 2000, XP/2002, 2003, 2007). There was a major rearchitecture to share code in Office 97 which changed the multi-app scenarios for the better. In 2002 we tuned for the NT kernel (even though by 2000 all self-hosting was NT, customers had not moved yet so we still supported W95). Somewhat confusingly we still supported 9x on Office XP as well which genuinely annoyed people internally. O2003 was NT only. O2003 ran on W2000+. As a rule of thumb, Word, Excel, PowerPoint remained roughly 2-6MB working set that entire time, including min footprint when app was minimized. Even the move to 32 bits did not double system requirements. Outlook definitely changed the equation as did running multiple products at once. For a while system requirements were "per app". Then in 97 Outlook was called out separately as requiring more. Since it was running all the time it did change the memory profile of the suite. With a browser running all the time and consuming a lot of memory (Win95+ along with the networking stack) we started to see competition for memory on low end (4-8MB) systems. The move to NT reduced this but increased total system footprint. AMA...I can't tell you how carefully this was measured all the time and debated constantly. Win95 in particular was a huge "battle" between Windows and Office over what the system requirements should be and what constituted typical use in order to support those. Consider this essay on the box :-) For more of this epic experience see -> …rdcoresoftware.learningbyshipping.com/p/035-windows-…

@localteaparty One nation one litre

This useless government's MO is going to be 1. They start rationing fuel first. Not more than 2 litres per day per bike or some nonsense like that. 2. They're gonna ask for vehicle proof and scan your RC copy, upload on to a portal (MyBharatMyPetrol) before selling petrol. You can see it coming.

@slicebank Never take advice from Twitter

What's the best financial advice you ever received?🤥

@venkatatweets Wow what a story. In a world where talking about inner turmoil is now more and more appreciated, I hope he gets his peace back.

When L Sivaramakrishnan was 14 an Indian player called him to clean his shoes. On his 17th birthday another Indian player said, ‘you have got a chocolate cake as dark as his skin colour’. Now at 60, LS opens up on his old wounds and battling depression. indianexpress.com/article/long-r…

@volklub You can't outsource thinking ! If you are seriously want your AI tool to research better, check out this repo. Nothing to do with automobiles but it trains "itself" for a better output. github.com/karpathy/autor…

Claude is overhyped! It always makes mistakes when I create car comparison reports for my clients, so I’ve now started doing them manually (for the most important 52 features). What's the point when you need to recheck your work, every single point. ChatGPT and Gemini are even worse for such things which require close scrutiny of each point. They rely on online information which itself sometimes is incorrect.

People who are questioning Rayar’s Mess - have you thought about the same for any other biriyani outlets ?

@SanjaiGandhi Use pdf.js for fully localised parsing. It’s a Mozilla’s open-source PDF rendering library, originally built to power Firefox’s built-in PDF viewer. It’s written entirely in JavaScript and runs in the browser.

Replaced Groq Api with Adobe PDF Extract API (free). It works exactly like ilovepdf.👍

When GST rates were rejigged, companies simply increased their base prices / reduced weightage of their products. Now same tactic is being used to increase prices citing gas shortages.

@sidhuwrites Ani is now blocked need to get ARR and that costs money !

Totally. Tickets for such an event should start at 500 but was quite shocked to see opening prices at 3000. Rahman performance aside, practice sessions have been free in the past - what's the logic behind the pricing 🤷

@chandrarsrikant @AryamanGupta_ This is how your article appears. Have you ever thought about this ?

Putting ads in an OS is plain BS. “Reducing” them is even so.

@localteaparty Ayyo saaar already they have bastardised Knafeh enough. Let’s leave them alone.

Glorious dish. Needs to quickly take over Chennai, like Knafeh has (which is also equally glorious).

@saybwala Honestly, they don’t give a damn. Just move on to the next provider…until it breaks…🤷‍♂️

Almost half a million views and loads of comments... Not one saying Airtel is honest. Amazing how companies when they are large and are 'essential' can get by with shoddy customer service. Meanwhile, us D2C brands have to constantly be on guard to protect reputation from one order mistake going viral on social media 🤷

@VijayCricketFan This needs to be brought back !

Fake IPL Player It's not about any player, it's about a blog that created fear and controversy during the 2009 IPL. The biggest mystery surrounding that blog was that no one knew who was writing it at the time. Initially few people believed it was being written by someone from KKR. This assumption came from the chaos within the KKR camp during that period. Another interesting thing about the blog was that the writer never used real player names. For example,he referred Ganguly as Lordy and Sachin as Little Monster. Many people read that blog and few believed in those writings about dressing room conversations and team selection etc. But in the end it turned out the blog wasn't written by anyone from KKR or even someone involved with the IPL. The writer was a bangalore based man Anupam Mukerji, who revealed his identity in 2010. He said that he had made up all those stories.

@milified How will they correct it now ? I mean the person who was declared the winner it would be (double) embarrassed !

there were some women's day celebrations at the workplace and today we got a list of prize winners in our emails. the winner of THE WOMEN IN TECH LEADERSHIP PRIZE is... A MAN 😂😂😂😂😂😐😐😐😐

@localteaparty Last time I went to buy a refrigerator, they didn’t have the model I was looking for. The (over) enthusiastic salesman asked me to visit the refrigerator company showroom down the road, check the features and then come and book it in Croma 😀

Went to Croma recently to buy a phone. I knew exactly what I wanted. Guess how long it took for them to bill me after exchanging my old phone? 1 hour. Scan the old phone, generate QR code, send to biller, enter mobile number, generate OTP, resend OTP, enter OTP, download ID proof, send to biller, upload ID proof, generate another code, oh we don't have stock in this color....ayyayyayyaya Customer is not the king. Customer is the last incidental step in the giant data capturing industry. The consumer industry is an absolute mess.
