Hi! My name is Yask Srivastava.

I am an opensource enthusiast and love working on interesting projects. In my spare time I do a lot of programming, often opensource, developing web applications and sometimes competitve programming.

These days I am contributing to `Moin Moin` which is a high performance open source Wiki Engine that is written in Python as a part of my Google Summer Of Code 2015 project.

yask123··on In Canada it's illegal to call yourself software engineer
Court case: In an oral decision delivered on November 26, 2019, Associate Chief Justice Nielsen of the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench ordered an injunction against an individual who was using the title “Software Engineer” in his online profiles, despite the fact he was not an APEGA member. Associate Chief Justice Nielsen found that by holding himself out to the public as a “software engineer”, this individual could by implication lead a member of the public to conclude he is a professional engineer, licensee or permit holder with APEGA. This was a violation of s. 3(1)(a)(ii) of the Engineers and Geoscience Professions Act. Associate Chief Justice Nielsen granted the injunction order sought by APEGA and awarded costs to APEGA for the contested application.

yask123··on In Canada it's illegal to call yourself software engineer
that's not correct. You can't call yourself an engineer despite having it in your title unless you get a license granted by engineerscanada. https://engineerscanada.ca/become-an-engineer/overview-of-li...

Is that a celebrity name ?
yask123··on Show HN: Web crawler for social profile links
Thanks! Not sure who would use it :P It was just a fun project. But I do think there should exist such a service which aggregates and organises all social accounts.
yask123··on Show HN: Web crawler for social profile links
You can't get all social profile links with google for celebrities : Eg: See this

https://www.google.co.in/#q=barack+obama

Also for doing user searches in social websites, I don't get the results I am looking for:

Eg for query "Barack Obama" from Facebook graph api: I get :

{

  "data": [

    {

      "name": "Chi Linh Bui",
      "id": "248865755297304"
    },
    {
      "name": "Barack Obamanana",
      "id": "318956448258150"
    },
    {
      "name": "Barack Obamalad",
      "id": "1378793772451152"
    },
    {
      "name": "Barack ObamaObama",
      "id": "239939292867248"
    },
....
