In a 3 hour long #Agile preachathon now. 🧵

Over 10 yrs ago my asthma inhaler went generic and became cheap. But the govt said the propellant was bad for the environment, mandated a new type, and I was back to buying branded for $$$$. Recently that new type went generic as well. Cheap again! Yay! Except now the govt says this propellant is *also* unsafe, and will be banning it, forcing everyone to buy a (patented of course) newer more expensive type yet again. Funny how the timing works that drugs become “unsafe/environmentally bad” juuuust as the pharmaceutical patents run out. Very curious, that.

Last mile connectivity is killing Namma Metro’s potential in Bengaluru! My house is just 4-4.5 km from both Purple & Green lines (10-15 min ride), yet no shuttle. Spent ₹90 on auto today just to reach the station. Private vehicle parking or auto — no choice. A mini shuttle service covering 5 km radius around every metro station would be a total GAME CHANGER! #NammaMetro #LastMileConnectivity #Bengaluru

On top is Godrej's old logo. Since 1897. Recognized across India. At the bottom is the new, redesigned logo, designed by Disco, Godrej’s in-house design studio. The second image is the logo for Guerrilla Holdings, an Australian company. If incompetence ever needed a logo.

Hey @atomberg_tech, y'all should make some really high efficiency Multi-split AC. Would buy.

That’s true. But for some reason, during same time, areas of same city that are greener are more habitable and cooler than areas that are concrete jungles. May be internet is taking google images and manipulating temperatures of these zones.

Hey @IndiGo6E, how about having the "Add to Goole wallet" button for both Boarding passes & Blue chip loyalty cards? Something that Air India has, as does nearly all of western/modern airlines, including your partners @Delta. Please guys. This is doable. The app isn't the best.

I studied the life and work of Lee Kuan Yew, the Founder-Prime Minister of Singapore intensely during my early 20s. Immense respect for him. In this video clip, he advises a young woman pursuing a PhD not to neglect marriage and kids. I recently gave very similar advice. Elon Musk would say much the same thing. We have to orient our culture, society and the economy so that smart ambitious women do want to have children (and sadly, this needs to be said today: men cannot have children). If we fail at this, humanity will lose. Now let the attacks begin! 🤓

This is what's happening to YouTube. This is one of my most popular videos. It's how to fix a UEFI bootloader. As you can see the traffic has been cut in half over the last 6 months. But if you Google how to fix a UEFI bootloader, Gemini will give you my exact step by step process. Even the commands it cites are copied directly from my video. I got no royalty payments and don't even get a link to the original video. I simply lost the traffic and Google is able to provide more value from stolen content. AI is going to destroy the content industry on the internet and when it's gone, there will be nothing left to train the AI. Since AI can't come up with anything original it relies on stolen content and it can't steal what doesn't exist if it puts creators out of business.

They will soon turn Sanatan too. 😀

@theBuoyantMan 1100 for washing? 😂 What are they doing? Anodising the car? 😂

Sad news. My friend Simon who did the original bird for Twitter, Octocat for GitHub and Redid Sammy The Shark for DigitalOcean has passed away, he was 56. He was a great guy. What a loss.

When did we start calling installing computer software “side-loading” as if it’s some shady jailbreaking-esque back alley stuff?

Every next morning: Anthropic CEO: 80% of world will be unemployed by tomorrow. Claude can make softwares, do testing, run cars, make aeroplanes, eat Litti Chokha, sing Bhojpuri songs Trump: We have all the oils of the world. Iran is defeated. I saved 100 million people in India-Pakistan war. 100% tariff on Malaysia, 200% on Nigeria, 500% on Honolulu.

Wait. Rail One app’s ‘add passenger’ option follows MMDDYYYY for Date of Birth? American much, @RailMinIndia?

Your weather app runs on models built for London and New York. Indian thunderstorms are 2-3km wide, last under an hour and form where no model predicted. The same GFS that nails London rain 3 days out struggles with Pune rain 3 hours out. I built MausamNow to fix this. 5 models, live radar, satellite tracking, locality-level answers. Works across 38 radar stations in India. Try it: mausamnow.com How it works: abhijitvaidya.substack.com/p/your-weather… #Weather #India #Monsoon #Pune #Punerains

@FFmpeg Best account on this site 😂😂😂

FFmpeg is moving to Rust 🦀 Our use of C and Assembly in FFmpeg has been an unacceptable violation of safety. FFmpeg will be running 10x slower - but we're doing it for your safety. All your videos will appear green - safety first, working software later.

No lies detected. It's actually insane how smartphones effectively ruined computer literacy for younger Gen Z and Alpha.

Bringing the "add extra fare" feature has to be one of the worst moves by Rapido, and then followed by Uber. Now almost every cab & especially all auto drivers don't accept requests because they can literally extort you if you don't add at least ₹50-₹70 extra over the standard fare shown in the app. Even adding ₹25 extra made zero difference to getting an auto. The physical autowalas were asking over ₹300+ for the same route, so going with them wasn't really an option either. Thankfully, one cab driver accepted the request upon trying for Uber Go later on. I'm all in for having better wages to these sectors, but this is NOT the correct way to ensure this: it instead creates a rat race where the user ultimately suffers & pays more.

The old bad SWE productivity metric: lines of code written. The new bad SWE productivity metric: tokens consumed.

@Tracking_Live Govt of India has no money left after funding freebies for SC-ST. ...ISRO, DRDO etc are secondary!!
