Open up Kaspersky and select Settings (bottom left) and then select Protection from the side menu and select Firewall. Open Configure packet rules. Select Local Services (TCP) and Edit. Finally, remove the port number from your Local ports (in my case 445) and save.

Since past few days I have been reading a book “The Course of Love”. There are many quotes which I liked from the book, but there’s one which made me think: We all constantly interpret the present through the distortion of the past. Which means our unconscious draws a connection between minor things that are out of place in present and major things that were once out of place in the past. ...

When a person decides to get married, they say, they want to settle down. Why? Settling down has such a negative tone. Why attach it to such an important decision of your life. Why settle down, when you can elevate yourself. I don’t want to settle down ever in my life. My idea of marriage is not settling down, it’s much more than that. Getting married is a very big event of our life, and it should be a positive one. Our partner should be the one elevating us. They should be the one helping us become a better person in life, or helping us get a better career for ourselves, or just help us be a better version of ourself. ...

Since last few years I have been maintaining a Trello board of all the ideas I get to work. While none of them will make a successful startup, but they can definelity be an interesting side-project. These ideas vary from creating a browser extension, to a webapp or a mobile app. Today I am making that board public. You can view them, comment on them, suggest features, or even take it & implement it yourselves. Who knows one of you might push me to actually start implementing these ideas ;) ...

I have been working on a side project since couple of weeks, and the 1st choice I had to make, was to decide what language to use. The project was going to be command line application, so any language would have sufficed. Among the languages that I am comfortable with, I chose C# with .net core. Reasons for my choice were: I wanted to write C# for a change. After working with C# for 5yrs l, I had been working with nodejs for more than a year now professionally. I wanted to give .net core a try so I chose C#. I wanted to see how good is the cross platform development of command line application with .net core. Because why not. This worked great, my application was up & running after few days of working lazily. And I was pretty happy with my choice. Later on I had a requirement of creating a set of APIs hosted on lambda. Again I went with C# because, like I said earlier, I was pretty happy with it. ...

The other day I was thinking about different mindsets of people in a professional world. Some people have this single mindset, some have a mixture. People come in many flavors you know. Worker MindA worker knows how to work. You give them a task, tell them how to do it. And it will be done. They don’t care if the task is a grunt work, or something interesting. They understand that every task is important.But pure workers have some problems, they always need to be assigned work, you can’t just leave them to find their own work. Also a worker, knows to just work, once the going gets tough they need someone to help them out. This is where thinker comes. ...

Last night I did an amazing thing. A mysql query was taking around 20-30 minutes to execute. It was a pretty heavy query with the purpose of creating a dump of data in excel format. With 3-4 JOINs, 2-3 WHERE clauses. And it was already optimized, and it seemed like there is nothing we can do. But then an idea hit me. And the query is now happily dumping data in 3-4 seconds. ...
