Yes, a little bit of salt on your Zomato makes it much more palatable.

Such notifications are becoming routine. Seems to me that you need to design your systems around the question of "how can the problem be minimised when our systems get hacked".

I think taxes are good. I don't mind paying taxes at all. I want to support community services and public works and social equality. The only context in which I really really hate paying tax is where I feel that the politicians are loo

Where? I'd love to see total data downloaded by a table - without opening the developer console.

Do you think browsers should show data downloaded per tab?

Not true. Support is fundamental to many software businesses and has been for a very very long time and I don't feel that people see it as a way to get developers to write bad software.

On the other hand, imagine if it really worked and money poured in to support open source projects - it would be transformative for the lives of many open source developers.

If the goal however is to get companies to contribute more then the simultaneous applauding/shaming of a public donations registry is likely to encourage some companies to contribute because they like to be seen as good corporate citiz

Answering myself with another slightly off topic point - I wonder if a public register of financial support to open source projects would encourage more of it? For example, if payments went through github for verification, and there was a p

Not really talking exactly to the topic, but I recently went to use an open source project which said something like "this is open source software under a permissive license, but if you use it commercially you have a social obligation

Search should be a first class feature of a database not an addon. Every.Single. Time. I have ever needed to "just add on search" it has resulted in deep pain. Nothing you say will convince me that it's just a super easy dan

So half marks on search for Azure Cosmos DB. If free text search is such a hard problem then you'd think that would be even more reason to start with solving that toughest of all problems. If it's a really hard problem then it wi

Does it provide search? It's a strange thing, but almost all new database technologies seem to leave search as an afterthought for some later day instead of starting on day one with the assumption that "it's all about search&

Databases is one area that Amazon is way behind Google and Microsoft. DynamoDB is thoroughly awful so good to see some competition.

Good idea. There really is a need to know where a given project is at.

If you want to use some open source project, is it not of primary concern to you whether or not the project is active and maintained? And besides, what is wrong with using open source and not giving back? Or is "giving back" some

OK so what is a pragmatic decision about which browsers to support....? I want to make something usable by many, but I'm just not going down the path of supporting everything back to IE8 - the resource is not there to do that developme

Yes I think it would be to their advantage to say, well you just paid $149 for the service call to hear your fridge is dead, and we love you so here is a $200 voucher towards your next Fisher and Paykel fridge.

I post this here because there are such obvious business lessons in this situation. So your client has just found out that your product has died and needs to be replaced .... do you charge them $149 and wave goodbye, or do you build upon yo
