What a phenomenal collection of life skills lessons wrapped in engaging visual stories! Trubuddy comics, a new offering from Menstrupedia, is a delight! https://trubuddy.me

A comparison between Nostr, Fediverse and BlueSky:

Genus ≤ 3 is all you need! 😀 #math #topology

Is Google oauth flow broken in Firefox for everyone or just me for past few days?

If my web browser required walking 100 steps for opening each extra tab, my fitness problems would be solved in a month. 😁

Guys... I heard rumors that Rajamouli sir is coming out with a new epic drama film in 2025! 🙂👌💪

Do non-profits not have to consider the question of Founder-Problem fit? Today, a for-profit startup wouldn't make any headway without Founder-Market fit. If technology is critical to your mission, you won't be able to go anywhere without a technical co-founder, even as a nonprofit.

I am equally happy and unhappy with Twitter, Bluesky and Fediverse. Is it equanimity or spinelessness? 😅

Saying “the internet killed democracy” is about as useful as saying “I’m not going to breathe the air until people stop farting”. The internet isn’t going anywhere. Social media isn’t going anywhere. If you can’t function within the existing reality you will become obsolete.

Rise of the angry Indian consumer

You can watch the livestream of Audio Developer Conference (Bangalore) 2025 here: https://buff.ly/4an4rxM Here is the schedule of talks (IST):

Must-watch documentary "Indus Blues" about the dying musical traditions and instruments of Indus Valley (now Pakistan):

I started creating a wiki for repair-friendly hardware products for Indian consumers: nilesh.gitbook.io/openhardware... #RightToRepair #India #hardware #OpenSource

And people think vegans are the ones who are extremists about their food habits!! 😀

Are there any programming systems or frameworks that automatically log all non-determinism/(co)effects so that the program is fully replayable in a debugger?

Finally, year of #Linux on the desktop!! 🙂 #nvidia #ai #technology

The story about Meta's AI-influencer is very important but why do so many journalists think they can discover anything about how AI bots were built by talking to the bots? Do they not have someone on their team that can explain to them how this technology works?

Nifty DNS + Firewall app (free and #opensource) to block malware, spyware, ads, and trackers across all apps on Android:

A lot happened in the database industry in 2024. This annual post by Andy Pavlo is a fantastic summary. A must read for CTOs. https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~pavlo/blog/2025/01/2024-databases-retrospective.html #technology #programming #databases

Here's the Youtube playlist of video submissions for Summer of Math Exposition 2024: https://buff.ly/40edU77 Hours of #math learning sorted.

Trying out OpenVibe - a unified feed client for #Mastodon and #Bluesky: openvibe.social #Fediverse #Interoperability

Google seems to be catching up fast to OpenAI and Anthropic with their Gemini 2.0 update. The new product experiences as well as the realtime multimodal API are incredible!

If you are a students in India who is confident of delivering more value than Devin/ChatGPT Pro on #Elixir #programming and are interested in an internship, DM me. 👍

Genuine question for 2025: Should I hire a programmer intern or spend $200 - $500 per month on o1-pro / Devin? 🤔 #programming

Did you know this about the boric powder used for carrom boards?

What if we had this?

Going to check out this play, if only I can make it in time in all this rain and traffic. The writer/director Marcus Du Sautoy, also wrote this nice book which was already in my reading list.

Govt institutions in India (both state and central) keep coercing citizens to enrol for and then share their national biometric identifier #aadhaar . www.medianama.com/2023/11/223-...

I wrote about the many challenges involved in NAMING things (like files, users, topics): github.com/learn-awesom... Discuss it on Hacker News: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4233... #programming #SoftwareEngineering

The golden era of #math teachers sharing amazing tips and tricks on #Twitter is over. Many left, many stopped posting and many are punished by the algorithm. I learnt so much from them during the last decade.

24 million users all being on the same #bluesky server instance cannot be healthy for the decentralisation of #atproto. Governance for hosting many users is complicated enough that we need many providers, not just one. Else it is likely to be a repeat of Twitter/Instagram. Sorry to be this guy.

😳

Does BlueSky get mad if users share IPFS hashes of movies/music/books etc for training machine learning models? 🤔

Consider doing "Advent of Papers" instead of #AdventOfCode: https://buff.ly/3B052Z3

#openwrt partnered with #bananapi and releases a fully compliant, #openhardware  $89 router. It's fully compliant with FCC norms, you can buy the logic board alone for $68,  and on every purchase $10 are donated to Software Freedom Conservancy ! 👏 openwrt.org/toh/openwrt/... #foss
