What was it like to self-learn programming before Stack Overflow?
I don't think someone can learn programming with Stack Overflow. Stack Overflow is an awesome platform where you can seek to solve many of your daily programming problems, once you've acquired a fair enough hand on the particular language/ framework/ tool.There are certain aspects of learning programming, or more specifically, learning a programming language which includes the syntax, paradigm(functional, OOP, reactive etc), components(functions, classes etc), semantics like memory model, garbage collection, design patterns(like inheritance, dynamic dispatch) and then converge to libraries that perform utilities for you like data structures, string processing etc. You need consolidated text, documentation and examples in a fairly organised sequence to learn a language. In short Stack Overflow can help you solve things at a stage when you know what your problems are. When you start learning a thing, you don't have problems and you don't know what you would do with it, you just explore and understand it.Even today, books, blogs, video tutorials, documentations is what people refer to for learning something, not Stack Overflow.If you are trying to learn something by making successive queries to Stack Overflow about it, you are not learning it but trying to solve a problem using that language/ platform. In reality, the platform would have many more subtleties and nitty gritties.
What small detail from a movie do you love?
The guy beside Shahrukh Khan in his cameo in ‘Luck By Chance’, is his very old friend. This happened for a reason.Shahrukh Khan appeared in the movie ‘Luck By Chance’ in the scene where he advices Farhan Akhtar to keep his old friends beside, especially those who stood by in the bad times. And that is exactly why Mushtaq Khan is seen beside King Khan, who is not only a very old buddy but also written quite a few books on him.Luck By Chance, 2009.In the movie ‘Bahubali’ lyricist Madhan Karky developed an original language with more than 700 words for the tribe Kalakeya. The language is called Kilikili and it not only has 700 words but also 4 dozen grammatical rules.Baahubali, 2015.Akshay Kumar starrer ‘Special 26’ is set in the 1980’s and the attention to detail will actually is berserk.In the 1980’s the number plates on the vehicles would start with three letters (DIA, CTP, MTP). Every car used in the movie has been number plated accordingly.Special 26, 2013.In the movie ‘Queen’ (song Kinaare), Rani is seen running through the streets realizing that she is truly happy and liberated.The store she runs by, there is a sign that says, “De Vrijheid”, which is Dutch for Freedom.Queen, 2014.In the song ‘Emotional Attyachar’ from the movie ‘Dev D’, there is a line where the leads sing “1, 2, 3, 4,….6” and skip 5. Well, it wasn’t just supposed to be funny.This one line is meant to be satirical. One of Kashyap’s films called, “Paanch”, was not approved by the censor board and remains unreleased till date. That’s why they eat up five in the lyrics.Dev D, 2009.In the introductory scene of the movie ‘Masaan’ there is a spectacular detail. Vicky Kaushal's character Deepak Choudhry, belongs to a lower middle class family and they earn money by burning corpses.In the scene here, he goes to a ghat and lights up a twig and later he is shown lighting up the gas in the kitchen with the same twig. Words wouldn’t suffice as to what this one scene has given to the movie.Masaan, 2015.In the Movie ‘Tamasha’, Ranbir Kapoor’s character Ved is an avid story lover and when Deepika is with him in Corsica, she finds a book in his room.Implying that Ved might have just started reading the book.A few scenes later when it’s time for them to bid adieu to their little adventure, look closer at the red circle in the picture below. Stunning!Tamasha, 2015.Footnoteshttps://www-storypick-com.cdn.am...

Who is smarter, Bruce Wayne or Tony Stark?
I would like to point out Tony Stark is more than an engineer/mechanist prodigy and Bruce is smart when it comes to forensic science etc. But in a straight up intelligence test, Tony Stark is the clear winner. Now, before all the batman fanboys/girls start thinking that this answer is rubbish. Let me lay down some factsTony Stark once beat Reed Richards in a chess match. Reed Richards, OK? He may not seem like big deal to many people because he doesn't have a strong presence in the cinematic universe, but he is the man when it comes to intelligence. Reed Richards has the sufficient intellect to use 'the ultimate nullifier', which can be used to beat Galactus, devourer of planets. Aliens straight up put their spaceships in reverse gear when they hear that Reed Richards lives on planet earth.He has countless time stood toe to toe with the hulk (once with world war hulk and gave him a good fight) and has defeated the Red Hulk. Now, I know people are going to say that batman has beaten superman before. That is right and good but the hulk doesn't have any weakness like kryptonite. And building a suit that can tank hulk's blows is kind of a big deal.Created pheonix buster suit in less than 3 weeks. Phoenix force is a form of primal energy in Marvel Universe.He is a futurist. It has been said he can intuit the future because of his mind. He knew that something like the Civil war would happen long before it occurred.He created 'The Illuminati' of Marvel Universe. The team consisted of the smartest and most influential people on the planet, who'd guide the future of the Universe.He was smart enough to escape terrorists by making a suit from scratch in a cave.His tech makes him kind of equal to Black Panther's (he is the batman of Marvel Universe but is more intelligent, ruler of a country and has created a new branch of science called 'Shadow Physics').
