India’s semiconductor opportunity: Talent, market, and the rise of design-led innovation
Semiconductors have become the strategic substrate of modern civilisation. India is not late to the semiconductor race. It is early to the right race. While global attention focuses on fabrication plants, long-term semiconductor power belongs to those who design chips, define architectures, and own the intellectual property behind technology ecosystems. India’s opportunity lies not only in fabs, but in design-led innovation.
Why Clean Code Isn’t Worth It
Navigating disagreements with colleagues. If you’re anything like me, you like problem solving. You take pride in your craft. You keep getting better, always chasing that perfection, after all, your work is a reflection of yourself. It also means you loath sloppiness when it comes to problem solving. That ass saving attitude that just duct tapes the issue long enough so that it’s not their problem anymore, it disgusts you. You’re in business for permanent fixes.
Emerging Blockchain Scams: Protect Yourself as a Developer
Manav Garg · Follow 3 min read · -- In recent months, blockchain developers have become prime targets for sophisticated scams. Whether through LinkedIn messages, fake job offers, or malicious code in seemingly legitimate projects, scammers are getting more creative in their attempts to exploit unsuspecting developers. Recently, I was contacted by two scammers on LinkedIn posing as recruiters for blockchain development roles.
Reduce Backend TCP Response Latency: TCP_NODELAY
Recently, I encountered this problem where there were random delays in the client-side app, and the packets were not reaching the server as fast as they should. In the world of backend optimization, even the slightest tweak can make a significant impact. Enter TCP_NODELAY, a tool designed to streamline TCP communication and enhance response times. But before diving into TCP_NODELAY, it's essential to understand Nagle's algorithm, a fundamental aspect of TCP transmission.

Building A Url Expander In Dart.
Because HEAD requests only give you the header of the response instead of the header + whole body (which is generally very heavy). So they're faster and we don't need the body of the response anyway. Okay, now let's work on (1). We'd need a function that can tell us if the any url is valid. We're going to use regex for that.
Dart Enums: Then & Now.
enum Villians { mojoJojo, him, fuzzyLumpkins, theGangreenGang, theAmoebaBoys, } extension VilliansEx on Villians { // enum to string conversion String name() { if (this == Villians.mojoJojo) { return "Mojo Jojo"; } if (this == Villians.him) { return "Him"; } if (this == Villians.fuzzyLumpkins) { return "Fuzzy Lumpkins"; } if (this == Villians.theGangreenGang) { return "The Gangreen Gang"; } if (this == Villians.theAmoebaBoys) { return "The Amoeba Boys"; } return ""; } // string to enum static...

Reframing governance as a lever for startup growth and value creation
There’s a little history about tech services bellwether Infosys that is rarely remembered nowadays. When Infosys went public on the Indian stock market, it was not the largest IT services company in the country. Neither was it the fastest-growing or most profitable firm in its category. Yet, its market valuation was higher than most of its peers and comparable to competitors that were much larger.

Understanding ChatGPT and Its Revolutionary Implications
We have all heard about Chatbots, right; they suck, and they are a joke. But what if a chatbot worked and understood and answer? Imagine having a program that can give you investment research, generate and debug code, and create a Twitter bot for you when you have no knowledge of coding, create a weight loss plan, mental health support, marketing, and SEO specialist, write essays, and much more.
Sync/Async Programming
If a caller sends a message to a receiver and is waiting for a response, can it do something else? I am saying a caller/receiver instead of a server/client, as these calls happen everywhere. By design, when we first built computing, everything was synchronous. This can be seen as a sine wave where a caller and a server are in sync or the same rhythm. Asynchronous means they are not in sync. Example of OS Synchronous I/O: 1. Program asks the CPU to read a file from the disk. 2.

The lowdown on angel tax; PhonePe crosses one million offline merchants
DIPP announced steps to ease the process for startups seeking exemption from being slapped with angel tax notices by the Department of Income Tax. But, the goal is not just to make the process transparent. The amendment does not apply for those years where the I-T Department has already passed an order. So, a startup that has already received assessment orders cannot apply for an exemption for those years. Nothing changes for those who have already received assessment orders on angel tax.

My father, the ultimate feminist: Vidya Shah on how it all began for her and the need for women to challenge and disrupt norms
Unless women consistently challenge and disrupt oppressive norms, we will continue to be subjected to dominance and limited growth. I was born in the 60s, when feminism was a bold, new concept, much decried by men and women, particularly in middle-class households like mine.
