[Bengaluru Systems (fka Bengaluru Systems Meetup) @BengaluruSys]

Up next, we had @ShrinivasNavin speak about his journey and challenges implementing Fissure, a torrent client written in Rust. We discussed the pitfalls and benefits of async I/O in rust, and walked through some code.

@fayazlalani @VishalShah412 Do you really sit on milk crates when writing our jiras!?

@tuktuukk Wut?

[Navin shrinivas @ShrinivasNavin]

@Avinal_ Actually, no! Do u usually find them cheaper?

I have bad taste in my mouth from postpaid internet plans

Back in 2010's we had a postpaid connection, even after requesting for a disconnection they did not process it, 6 months later we were threatened with a legal case.

I am tired of Jio changing plans often to increase their ARPU.
Nothing much I can do there but choose the best option out of available.
Hence I built this :https://t.co/gZAyxLkfUS
Nothing too complicated, simply reads jio's api, parse it, sort it and display it. Written in rust!

Along with "prorated data", usually helps me have data throughout the duration of the plan and not blow it all off in a single 4k video

Refreshes the plans every 5 mins, provides insight into cost per day and cost per gb

Planning to add 'effective price per year' too.

I get that India needs more spending culture, but this doesn't feel like the way.

[Navin shrinivas @ShrinivasNavin]

I've seen two "tips" boxes in stores in the last 2 days. The tipping culture is entering India and I'm not looking forward to it (at least not on top of service tax).

[Navin shrinivas @ShrinivasNavin]

Furthermore, I hate those places that intentionally hide prices of things or make the menu so crowded that one cannot find the prices (I'm looking at you PVR).

I'd rather not buy anything than buy something without knowing the price.

Had an interview yesterday. Was reallyyy looking forward to that role. Got rejected right after the first round. I can feel the rejection tearing me apart. "Hope" is....something

Excited to talk at the Sahyadri Open Source Community, Mangaluru!

[Navin shrinivas @ShrinivasNavin]

@_svs_ For me it was Minecraft, learnt a little about networks from playing with friends in the same world in local network

And eventually played enough to get villagers to act like shops, so had to edit world data to set custom value for trades with villagers . Ah those fun days!
