Oh Tsu also gone, what about all the hype and frenzy?

Sometime last year January, I reluctantly joined a site named tsu which was crazily joined by many people sometime in July to November of 2014, in expectation of better place than at that time declining Bubblews. However, slowly people realized that it is difficult to reach 100 USD there rapidly. Only a few folks who are perhaps full day working on it, or have a large number of referrals succeed there. Others like me had started using it to share our other social media connects. However, I was expecting that the hype and frenzy will lessen, but do not know how couldn't its stylish founder Sebastian carry on- did he pay too much for charities. Here are snippets from his address: " Although we have still have numerous active communities on the site, our mission of changing the social landscape for the benefit of the content creator has passed. I started this concept eight years ago and when we launched in late 2014 we brought the conversation of content ownership and mo...

The "case" does matter in MongoDb too!

Sometimes, when working on a particular Technology, we pay a very close attention to some of the features or ways to work on in that technology. However, we tend to ignore other ways. We take a few things for granted, till the day we come across something to the contrary. This is what happened while working with collections and documents in MongoDb. I have this Electronics collection : > db.Electronics.find() { "_id" : ObjectId("55685b94fd45377c7f18bccc"), "category" : "TV", "Sales_Date" : "17-11-2014", "amount" : "32000", "currency" : "INR", "Brand" : "Son y" } { "_id" : "00005", "category" : "Laptop", "Sales_Date" : "05-10-2014", "amount" : "28000", "currency" : "INR", "Brand" : "Acer" } Now I wanted to add a TV of Samsung brand whic...

Parallel execution forced to Serial execution

Sometimes, we think that simply using parallel execution of Sql, especially using Sql parallel hint will make our Sql query- standalone or embedded in PL/SQL become very fast and efficient. However, there are some cases where Oracle in recent releases detected during the optimization phase that it can't use Parallel Execution, but has already started to generate a Parallel Execution plan. So, it will convert the parallel execution to a Serial execution. Please read here to know more.

Virendra Sehwag: A legend of Indian cricket

" In a way, the advent and the ascent of Virendra Sehwag was quite similar in Indian cricket. Initially, he looked like another slam-bang One Day International specialist, with not so "traditionally" good footwork. He started off in a not so spectacular manner. However, his innings against New Zealand in a One Day tournament where he scored a swift century in 69 balls, and paved the way for an Indian win, proved that he would not be a pushover. Then, he was pushed to open the Innings in England in 2002 in test matches, where he proved that this move won't backfire. He scored a century at Trent Bridge in his second Test match. There was no looking back from there on for Virendra Sehwag who established himself as one of the all time great Indian openers and a great player, paving the way for many Indian Test and ODI victories................. For the records, Sehwag made 8586 runs from 104 Test matches, and is fifth in India's all-time list. In ODIs, he scored 8...
