Progress via new problems, not new solutions. — When something new comes, we try to repurpose what we already have and see how it fits into it. Like I am gaming on my phone, can I game in VR now? I bought a T-shirt from my local shop can I buy it online now? But new technologies truly…

Learn how to use Flexbox layout to dynamically resize elements in multiple columns and ensure your content looks great! — When laying out content inside our web or mobile app we need to ensure things are fluidly responsive and fill the screen. …

Comparing the performance of A14 and M1 we can have a good guess of M1X performance. — Extrapolating multi-core performance on Apple Silicon is slightly difficult because the cores are asymmetric. Intel chips have always used the same core design but with the ability to throttle up the clock frequency by a wide margin to either optimise for efficient or optimise for performance. Apple Silicon on the…

A direct comparison of Metal performance across Apple’s platforms today and what we can extrapolate about the future. — GPUs are an embarassingly parallel problem to solve. If you increase the number of cores on your chip, you get a proportional amount of performance gain. The restriction hence is the amount of space on your chip. Apple’s A14 series of chips are based on TSMC 5nm manufacturing process which…

If you do iOS, Android and React Native development on your Mac, chances are you are easily using up your 256GB of storage space with various caches. — If you work on a React Native based mobile app, you most likely are using a Mac to be able to test your app on iOS as well. This means that even though the SSD is very fast, it is either 128GB or 256GB. …

Imagine thinking about the ideas from the first two decades of this century — but from the future — and how hilarious they might seem in hindsight. — Things weren’t always the way they are today. So many things that we take for granted today actually were considered outright wrong and in some cases even outright illegal. People went to war over some ideas that today appear irrelevant and irrational.

Android, Inc. was founded in 2003 by Andy Rubin and team. The early intentions of the company were to develop an advanced operating system for digital cameras. Though, when it was realized that the market for the devices was not large enough, the company diverted its efforts toward producing a…

An outsider’s perspective on the situation in US right now and how they are attacking the wrong problem. — Cities need to come to the people, not people going to the cities. US citizenship is based on birth. So if companies are still picking immigrants to do the job, it is more a sign of the availability of skilled people. US does not need to do manufacturing — they…

Instead of thinking in terms of returns and profits, another perspective is to think of ownership. — Holding onto cash is like holding on to credit. It never grows. It’s an intermediate state. Money is never meant to remain in one place, it’s only a means of exchange. Hence let’s establish that eventually we need to take money from one place and put it in another to…
