Kudos! What do you think are some good resources to learn/get better at elixir?

By playing around with the app, I can totally see that this supersedes Google Sheets and Apps Script by a long way. Yes, the UI layer and the API accesses. In the backend, I feel a lot of interesting things are going around - their relational engine natively supports collaboration, type support, revision history. All your mini blocks can be packaged into one big "base" which forms your workspace.

All of this can be done ... without writing a single line of code, which is impressive!

More often we think there's a grand unified "catch-all" task one can do to have a clear mind, but in reality it's the reverse.

Try to form small habits throughout the day. Check out Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Try to get your daily physiological needs met. Meditation helps too.

India has a provision for previous citizens to apply to, called the OCI. You can reside in India, but you give up the right to vote and own agriculture land.

I use the larger iPad pro - I understand it's quite expensive but that's the only Apple device we have for our home and me and my wife use it for our own purposes and we find it to be worth the money. She uses it mostly for art while I use it for reading and taking notes - the split screen view is a really amazing with a PDF open and a note taking app (I use OneNote).

The iBooks app is also good for taking notes on the PDF - I usually use it to take notes of papers but prefer to use OneNote for the books.

Really slick! Could you throw some insight about the techstack, architectural decisions etc.? Would love to understand more about those.

This is not as trivial as it sounds. One of the main drivers for using a 32 bit internet address is word length of registers. Back in those days, 32-bit word lengths were pretty common and in a language like C (which is what is used for OS development), a 32-bit integer could easily be fit in a register in most machines.

While higher-level languages might use multi field values, perhaps even arrays of integers, most low-level code, including millions of kernel code still uses integers to store IPv4 addresses. Adding an extra octet to this would make it go bonkers.

We do have conversion from IPv4 to IPv6. All IPv4 addresses can be represented in the lower bytes of an IPv6 address.

That said, the main issue with the adoption is the inherent inertia is upgrading devices. These are physical devices and large corps and businesses don't tend to allocate sufficient budget to replace and update these things to their IT dept. unless there's a pressing business need.

This is precisely what I was looking for :)

This is an interesting idea. I've used tools that have autocompletion and also on vim with a plugin that I use to type notes. But the annoying thing is this is something that I'll potentially have to set-up.

This is totally worth it. :) Plus reading about Chanakya Neeti is good.
