pknerd··on Engineers should focus on writing
It's not about engineers only. Every human who can read and write MUST form a habit of writing. It does not matter you write in Shakespearean language or not, what matters you convert your thoughts into words. If you feel embarrass of sharing your thoughts, just do it privately, in a diary or online private blogs like Wordpress but DO WRITE ANYWAY!

pknerd··on Crawling a quarter billion webpages in 40 hours (2012)
Most probably cloud based scraping services were not available in 2012. Now there are services available like scraperapi and others that don't need you to install anything at your end. You pay them, use their cloud infra, infinite proxies and even headless browsers. Shameless plug, I had written about it a few years ago on my blog post [1]

pknerd··on Brandolini's Law
thank you for again demonstrating Western propaganda gish gallop of course it would be a waste of time to address the layers of nonsense due to Brandolini's law,

but suffice it to say that West, who never apologized for genociding millions of Muslims, repeats the same gish gallop in their propaganda to distract from their war on, and attempted genocide of, Syria and Yemen

-----

I fixed it for you. Now I know you will have a knee jerk and get back. And.. I am not even a Russian but I do believe that it's time for the world to embrace the fact the existence of Russia and China and end of hegemony of US and Dollar.

And I will not respond you further. Keep living in the bubble inflated by Western media.

pknerd··on Brandolini's Law
Citing almost a century old incident that might have happened but ducking when asking about the recent killings by West in Bosnia, Serbia, Syria, Yemen Iraq and Afghanistan and talking about what X might have done is "precisely the propaganda I spoke of, when I brought up West genocide of millions& of Muslims.

A friendly advise: Clean your own backyard first before preaching others, till then carry on living in a bubble created by Fox, CNN, BBC etc. Cheers.

pknerd··on Brandolini's Law
> when they invaded Ukraine earlier, when they genocided millions in Ukraine, etc.

May I label it as Western propaganda similar to what we witnessed about Saddam?

pknerd··on His software sang the words of God, then it went silent
