Jab Do Dil Pyaar Karega

This post is about this Sindhi Group Saving Girls from Falling in love. Obviously this was the most obnoxious thing that I had heard for a long time. And there were some obvious reactions. http://www.ibnlive.com/news/sindhis-fuming-over-fatwa/38506-3.html. But things were not supposed to stop at that point. Those so called social leaders were also ready with rules for the girls. http://www.ibnlive.com/news/sindhis-set-rules-for-bhopal-girls/38392-3.html.

All that was for this http://www.ibnlive.com/news/hc-blesses-hindumuslim-couple/38339-3.html

Now this certainly created a sort of a storm of electric discharges in neurons in my brain. First of all, there was no hue and cry from well known shouters, the Muslim fatwa generators(Muslim Personal Law Board). Probably smart guy Umesh/Umar already saw it coming and converted to Hindism. But then why the hell is Bajrang Dal against it. Damn it you have one more Hindu and one less Muslim. Bloody hell what do these guys need more.

Now came the Sindhi Community. This is one community which till this day I thought was one of the most progressive community of India. Surely unlike my Marwari community. But now I feel I am in a better community. I have never heard of such horrific things.

One more thing struck me. Why the hell are the people not making rules against the boys of Sindhi community. Oh I forgot, they can do whatever they wish for sure. Anyways how will the Sindhi boys survive without the money they can get from their Dad and Dad-in-Law. Really is that so? Talibanism in India is taking roots is it? Not sure. Can anyone Enlighten me.

Even more amazing is the fact that this is nothing new in India. With heros like Prithviraj Chauhan and Salim. I think they forgot about how Lord Krishna married Rukmini. for those who have least idea look here in Wikipedia. Its not so difficult to accept this from the boys point of view. Probably thats the root of the problem. When it comes to accepting a girl who has been in love and married her love. She has to suffer. Meera bai did. I dont know how many more centuries will it take to change the Great Indian Pseudo-Hindu Attitude.

1. AI Makes Tech Debt More Expensive - The core argument is that generative AI significantly widens the gap between codebases with low and high tech debt. Companies with clean code can leverage generative AI to write code much faster, while companies with messy legacy codebases struggle to adopt these new tools. This widens the gap between the two codebases, making tech debt even more expensive for companies with outdated systems. My Take : Legacy systems inevitably accumulate technical debt. A common analogy for this is the state of urinals over time: missed targets lead to increasing mess, keeps pushing people away from urinals and leading to more mess in turn. AI-powered coding tools could potentially accelerate the accumulation of tech debt. However, skilled engineers can leverage AI to reduce and even eliminate it. Ultimately, AI is just a tool, and human judgment remains crucial for making informed decisions. I hope AI will be used responsibly to drive positive outcomes. 2. Make...

 1. Booleans are a trap : Booleans, while seemingly simple, can introduce complexity and limitations into domain modeling. When used to represent complex states, booleans can lead to unclear code and potential errors. To avoid these pitfalls, consider using enums or enum sets. These approaches provide a more expressive and maintainable way to model complex states in your applications. My Take : I wish I had learned this earlier in life. When working with Google Docs, I realized the limitations of booleans. Expanding boolean-based behaviors often led to adding more fields, making the system complex. Enums would have provided a simpler solution. The problem wasn't just the booleans themselves, but also the need to pass them through multiple layers of the stack, often requiring additional parameters. Another important aspect of enums is the inclusion of an " enum not specified " state. This state explicitly indicates that an enum value hasn't been set, which can be usef...

1. C++ Pitfalls - this article, explains some of the pitfalls you can fall into when programming in C++ and shares their experience with them. This includes Operator precedence, Arithmetic conversion rules, Right bit-shift, Implicit conversions and Order of evaluation.  My Take : We've all read about JavaScript's quirks, leading to unexpected outputs. But let's remember that such behaviors aren't unique to JavaScript. Even languages like C and C++ have their share of ambiguities and compiler-specific behaviors. While it's tempting to dive deep into these intricacies, I've found that focusing on clear, consistent, and unambiguous code is often more practical. However, understanding these nuances is essential for any experienced programmer. It helps us avoid pitfalls and write robust, reliable code. Remember, mastering a language isn't just about writing "Hello World." It involves delving into its intricacies, including its counterintuitive and ambi...
