eric24234··on You can now run Linux apps on Chrome OS

eric24234··on You can now run Linux apps on Chrome OS
I run nodejs server, postgresql db server(configured to use low memory), installed android studio, developing an react native android app on emacs with i3 window manger on a crouton based chrooted debian os. I am really surprised i can do all these without much delay. Chromebook is really working well for me. The only problem is the samsung chromebook i use has only 8 gb of ssd and after all these i have about 2 gb left. I hope google takes the low ssd memory chromebooks in to account.

eric24234··on In India, high-pressure exams are creating a student suicide crisis
The important thing what people miss outside india is that india forces people to marry by 28 or so. This mean the thought responsibiliy is so huge. This is not the case in western society. It is much more evolved. An individual has a free choice to choose work less and enjoy and not have a family. This is sadly not the case in india.

This is an accurate observation on the IIT students. A student in an IIT is an demonstration for their will power to sacrifice their social life in their teens to know all the common problems(past years exam questions) by repeated practice. The one thing that makes harder to work with IIT students is they feel entitled forever and feels they belong to a higher caste. That is why its always best to form teams with only IIT graduates. Also another important thing to note is IIT as an under graduate is much tougher to get in to rather than as an IIT post graduate.

eric24234··on Mistakes to avoid when asking for a raise
Former HPE employee. Manager asked if i have any offer letters when asked for raise. Actually my manager really was a kind of guy who can not lie or cover so much. I understood immediately this is a standard thing and also it made sense. From an employer stand point only about 20 % might have an offer letter from another org and the rest 80 % are too lazy to go to interviews and get offer letters. It works for them.

TLDR; Quit every 3 years or so if you want raise.

eric24234··on How the Rohingya Escaped
> I'd guess 99% are looking for peace with a very small minority in favour of violent action.

This so called 99% never oppose and stay silent at the best case or sympathize openly at the worst case and this sucks for everyone including muslims and non-muslims. Its impossible to have peace without muslim co-existence with other communities without koran going another version like the new bible. The problem is because koran asks for the state to be controlled by sharia law and sharia law just is not good.
