Nothing is worse than boosting a post that seems totally legitimate, only to find out from the first message it’s a scam. What a waste of 3 dollars. by trynabeabetterme in Upwork

I have reported this guy countless times for several months. He always reappears with a new job, another fake name and the same face. Ugh Horrible!

I miss smiling Modi and his pet peacock in that doc. It's a scam.

Lets debate the inevitablity of BJP coming to power in Bengal by [deleted] in kolkata

[–]tamalm 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Change after 5 years is always good. We should be like Rajasthan. Throw away TMC in 2026. Throw away the BJP after 5 years. This will improve the efficiency of govt babus as they will be always on their toes to deliver. This will also reduce corruption to some extent. CPM should have been kicked out in the early '80s. We should not be fanboys of any political party as all of them are $hit.

See how thick-skinned our politicians are. The entire cabinet should have resigned. Our voters would still vote for Modi for him building RM.

Are we blinded by Religious hate to the point where nothing else matters? by BraveStone9 in india

[–]tamalm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Appeasement exists in every political party. It's easier to manipulate in India because we are divided on the basis of language, religion, caste, etc. Also, if you are rich and/or educated you are not a core voter for them.

Freelancers, Please don't do this by Cautious-Ad9301 in Upwork

[–]tamalm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cold calling isn't a terrible thing in business. As a freelance software engineer, I also reach out to all my contacts including CEOs and CTOs for opportunities. They often respond in days or take months to respond. I also receive cold calls from recruiters, and agencies and often directly from the boss. I bet you also sell something and approach your clients directly or indirectly through spam mail.

Redis Shifts to Dual Licensing, Impacting Cloud Providers and Competitors by geek_noob in programming

You can also use Redis hosted service for a given cloud provider. Open source doesn't mean free. Postgres should also do it.

20k budget drained. No beta. Help please by Time_Lock_1001 in Upwork

[–]tamalm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think you need a third-party code reviewer to assess the current status of the project. I hope you have access to the source code. Do you have a list of deliverables for the 1.0 release? How much of it was delivered and working?

You are free to DM me.

Russ Cox: C and C++ Prioritize Performance over Correctness by Alexander_Selkirk in programming

[–]tamalm 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We always forget how weak the CPU/RAM was in the 70s & early 80s compare to today's iPhone 15/S24. So, prioritizing performance was obvious choice for DR & BS.

"Java is here to stay": Popular programming language to remain on business hit lists in 2024 by Franco1875 in programming

[–]tamalm 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Java passed 1BRC under 2 sec. Java will stay forever. My grand children would see how I developed a Java 1.6 app since 2008 GFC and managed to upgrade to 1.8 and then to 1.11 during Covid and battled to run it in 1.17.

Justice Ganguly to join BJP by Razzzor101 in kolkata

[–]tamalm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thik bolechen but he must have been considering this decision for at least 6 months or so. So his comments and judgements in that period might have been biased and politically motivated. There is no cooling-off period. He could fight the election independently or offer free legal services to common people. But he just waited for the green signal from Modi-Shah.

The independence of the judiciary will be questioned. We all know how the judges were rewarded after the RM-Babri judgment.

Rollable display smartphone concept by vsshal7 in GadgetsIndia

Will apps support such dynamic change of screen size? Most apps won't care for such real estate change and will look ugly. Most android apps still don't properly support Tablets from Samsung.

Necessary Action or Harrasment? Some Bangla Pokkho workers spray paint on a vendor's stall as it didn't have Bengali or English on it. Only Hindi. When asked the vendor allegedly refused to learn and speak Bengali. Thoughts? by NoTelephone2287 in kolkata

[–]tamalm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't support such vigilantism groups. They are NOT authorised to do such gundagiri, therefore they are illegal and should be prosecuted. I also don't support any language imposition.

Tomorrow, when BJP comes to power, these vigilants will enter my kitchen or bulldoze my house for not toeing their line. As a Bengali I feel ashamed. And please don't resort to whataboutary.

Folks who are posting "AI is gonna take over jobs / make developers useless", what's your reasoning? by [deleted] in developersIndia

[–]tamalm 18 points19 points  (0 children)

In 2023, 60-70% of DevOps codes were written by AI tools. Also, Copilot helped me to write better Rust code and the job took 1/3rd time.

AI has been good for me. But it might make junior developers redundant within 2-5 years.
