Eclipse not able to Update/Install new softwares.

This is one problem which I have been trying to solve for a real long time with my Eclipse 3.5 Galileo. The problem was that I was not able to connect to the network to get the repository for the plugins. For long I have been doing the manual install of the plugins but it does not always works out. Like when I wanted GWT Designer plugin, I was unable to find the .zip file for the same.

So, the solution:

1) First go to Windows->Preferences->Update/Install sites and for one of the sites click the Test Connection tab on the right.

2)If it takes long and does not connect to the repos site, that means there is something wrong with your eclipse setting or the the test site. Here, we assume that there is something wrong with your eclipse settings and try to retify it.

3)There must be a proxy server which your company must be enabling, so u need to give proxy data with Manual mode in Windows->Preferences->General->Network. Give it for all 3, HTTP,HTTPS and SOCK.

4)Again, go to step 2 and try it. If it still does not work then in Step 3 just clear the SOCK proxy details. Because your company might not be enabling a SOCL proxy and eclipse first check for SOCK and then HTTP.

5)Again try Step 2 and it should be working.. Congrats!!!!

4)Again repeat

Why India Hasn’t Built Its GPT Moment (Yet)

India has the world’s third-largest startup ecosystem, a thriving developer base, and a mobile-first population larger than the US and Europe combined. Yet, no GPT-4. No DeepMind. No Amazon-style platform. Why? Innovation Isn’t Accidental—It’s Engineered The Zerodha Daily Brief recently asked why India hasn’t built a global product company like Apple. The key argument: India isn’t building for the world. It’s solving for local constraints, scale, and affordability—but global scale requires deep IP, design, and tech differentiation. It’s not just about software, it’s about systems thinking. More importantly, it answers the question: Why do countries innovate? The answer isn’t just genius or ambition—it’s incentives and ecosystems. The U.S. Defense Department, for example, accounted for nearly 70% of federal R&D funding during the Cold War. China has pumped billions into semiconductors and AI with long-term national alignment. These aren’t short-term bets—they are strategic, delibe...

Problems with mysql.sock

Sometimes while working on Linux, mysql.sock may get deleted by mistake due to some softwares.. in such cases any access to mysql wont be possible as the sock file defines the socket connection for mysql. It will give an error of the following type: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) In such cases follow these steps to reconfigure mysql: Delete the log files with the names: ib_logfile0, ib_logfile1 and ibdata1 in the /var/lib/mysql directory Then type: "mysqld_safe --user=mysql &" This will automatically create mysql.sock file and even the new logs files. This is a very simple solution which I used recently and decided to share with you people.
