"A to Z of C" in the book Cimple (ISBN 0070260982)

I was just searching "A to Z of C" in Google Books and found that the book Cimple written by Sasant K Rout has used our code. The irony is that the book was published by Tata McGraw-Hill, who rejected us in final stage stating that it wants us to get endorsement from any IIT professor, which we couldn't. (For the sake of record... IIT Bangalore was linking & supporting "A to Z of C" for long time once it's published over the net; see old IIT page from web.archives.org)

It's just another incident to prove that success isn't a measurable unit; even failed attempts can be appreciated in any other forms.

sir,
Nobody explained me C in such a detailed depth. The book is awesome. I never got a good C teacher, I learned C by myself, but the book is written in such a way that I feel as if someone can read my mind and guess what question would come to my mind next.
This book has everything and solves all the problems, I faced about C language.
I am big fan, Thanks for writing this book.
Your remote student,
Antriksh

"Fire MBAs" - Bob Lutz, former GM Vice Chairman

Personally, I don't value MBA degree (even though I have met and had very knowledgeable friends at college). For me, it's a hyped and useless degree. Most of the MBAs I have seen are pure Juggu Boys (sycophants) and irrational cabals, who can't take any decision on their own, but can only create chaos and politics. That's one of the reasons I like Paul Graham of Y-Combinator . He's a great icon for Hackers (to get back the respect). I just stumbled upon this link through Hacker News where TIME magazine reports on Bob Lutz's latest book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business . Some interesting notes: we need to fire the M.B.A.s and let engineers run the show. "if you can measure it, you can manage it" The only time Apple ever lost the plot was when it put the M.B.A.s in charge.  "Shoemakers should be run by shoe guys, and software firms by software guys."

3-years of Ubuntu MATE - Good and the bad

Many people are getting shocked to know that I'm using Ubuntu in my workplace. Linux/Ubuntu is more of an alien here as Windows 10 and Mac OSX is having good market here. First of all, I'm a very happy Windows XP user. In XP, I used to do most of my JavaScript and PHP in  Devl , the editor that our team has developed. Reason for switching to Ubuntu MATE Primary reason for switching to Ubuntu was, at one point of time PHP team stopped supporting Windows XP . So, we're left with few options: 1. Upgrade to Windows Vista, 2. Switch to Ubuntu. We chose the second option to experiment it. One of the major challenges was choosing the right code editor and we chose VS Code . Ubuntu MATE - Pros Linux comes with lots of command line tools. I have started to do many tasks using these shell scripts and found very productive. We switched from Google Chrome to Chromium for good. Ubuntu MATE - Cons We started with GNOME for desktop, but it was memory hungry and was not ...
