Everyone is talking about indian mangoes here... But it is actually north indian mangoes.. And specifically malhibadi mangoes which are the god's personal gift to humanity.
Every other Indian mango shouldn't even be called mango.
End twist of jamali completely ruined the movie. Didn't add anything to the plot, in fact it diluted the setup of the first movie "PM wont be ready for such a long term plan".
This twist opened a lot of plot holes. Jamil should be shown as first person under project dhurandhar
Doesn't matter whether we buy cheap Russian oil or costly Venezuelan oil... We indians will always pay the highest price for the adulterated oil.
Love this non discriminatory policy of govt...completely insultes us from the external factors.
Adding to this.. The problems which we need to be aware about read replicas
1. Not consistent
2. replication lag
3. Adding replicas puts master under stress
4. Do cascading replicas
5. New replicas can struggle to come up under high write
6. Replication cost if cross az
Read replicas are great for scaling reads, but what if your read replicas need to be elastic...
This is where you put read replicas behind a proxy like HAProxy or a classic load balancer. Clients (say, your app) connect to a single endpoint, and the proxy routes queries across all available replicas.
Here's what makes this interesting...
The proxy can perform health checks on each replica, automatically removing failed or lagging instances from the pool. This means your reads stay fast even when individual replicas fall behind or go down.
You can add or remove replicas based on load without touching your application code. During peak hours, scale up. During quiet periods, scale down. The proxy handles all the routing complexity.
Most proxies also support weighted load balancing. If one replica has better specs or lower latency, you can send it proportionally more traffic. This optimizes resource utilization across your replica fleet.
The setup also gives you massive deployment flexibility, especially during a replica upgrade, where you can route traffic away from it, upgrade, verify, and then bring it back into rotation. Zero downtime :)
This architecture comes in handy when infrastructure needs to be as dynamic as the traffic pattern to keep costs down, and it shows up across a lot of companies and is an easy win for most products operating at scale.
Hope this helps.

A pirate activist group has reportedly scraped and uploaded Spotify’s entire music catalog online.
The breach includes 86 million audio files, now circulating on P2P networks in bulk torrents totaling around 300 terabytes.
Elon e-mail from 2013 on why SpaceX should stay private until it’s reached certain technological milestones:
▫️ “Public company stocks, particularly if big step changes in technology are involved, go through extreme volatility, both for reasons of internal execution and for reasons that have nothing to do with anything except the economy. This causes people to be distracted by the manic-depressive nature of the stock instead of creating great products.” ▫️
SpaceX was valued at $5B in 2013 and he thought if Dragon and Falcon 9 were well executed the business could be worth $15B.
Meanwhile, the company would keep offering secondary sales for employee liquidity and this was his recommendation on whether or not to sell:
▫️ “Below is my advice about selling SpaceX stock or options. No complicated analysis is required, as the rules of thumb are pretty simple. If you believe that SpaceX will execute better than the average public company, then our stock price will continue to appreciate at a rate greater than that of the stock market, which would be the next highest return place to invest money over the long term. Therefore, you should sell only the amount that you need to improve your standard of living in the short to medium term. I do actually recommend selling some amount of stock, even if you are certain it will appreciate, as life is short and a bit more cash can increase fun and reduce stress at home (so long as you don't ratchet up your ongoing personal expenditures proportionately).” ▫️
The concept of Starlink was unveiled in 2015. The first constellation was launched in 2019.
Starlink is projected to do $20B+ sales next year, steady revenue (on top of world-beating launch business) for a potential IPO to raise $30B at a $1.5T valuation in 2026.
That will *definitely* limit volatility as a public co to pursue next big tech changes (eg. AI data centre opportunity).
@0xlelouch_ clients need to be resilient to connection drops.
So, imo, correct solution lies in.. making changes in the client code or upgrading client library.. So that problem is solved horizontally and reliably across the org... and not in making investments in consumer restarts.
@0xlelouch_ Hey thanks for the write up. I have few questions
1. Which client library and version are you using
2. Dont you track server side connection metrics
3. It seems like a timeout tuning issue here as it seems too aggressive in this case (as restarting consumer is very costly)
I am in my 30s..and it is already very nerve wrecking to get my money out of epf. I cannot imagine the pain that i must go through, at the age of 60,to get my money out of NPS.
The bitter experience with govt in general and with epf in particular... I am dont trust NPS
The new CTO of Anthropic and ex-CTO of Stripe is from PESIT.
Imagine being a non-IITian, from the #83 college in the country, and having anywhere close to this career trajectory in India.
More than half of bangalore' tech talent is from north...due to lack of good tech companies there.
