It was clarified later that the "hacker" was a security professional who put up all that data on the Dark Web to draw Zomato's attention to loopholes in its systems. http://blog.zomato.com/post/1609862585

This is really cute.

Afraid not - there's no real concept of constraints with CosmosDB.

Not exactly. DocumentDB was primarily a document store. Cosmos allows you to store graphs and KV pairs as well.

As a general rule, yes. Very true.

Haha, definitely! She's joining us on the 15th. I'll come back here and tell you what it's like in 2-3 months.

Unfortunately, this is subjective. For me, it's a combination of both. The other day, I interviewed a lady who'd just started off with her career, working on creating Oracle forms. She hated it. In the meantime, she'd started

That's one way to go about it. But sometimes, even a portfolio may not be possible. Maybe someone never really thought about putting their code up on Github. So there are some slightly tricky situations where you need to ascertain how

I'm heading engineering at a startup that works on making the likes of Apache Cloudstack and Openstack work for telecom behemoths. I studied Russian at university. I've been writing code for the last 7.32 years. Personally, I don&

At the end of the day, the Telegram team's responsible for building the code, generating apps and pushing them to app stores. I'd say the chances of the app being tampered with are rather low. Conversely, since the code is out in

I'd suggest you check out both Golang and Rust. Being comfortable with both won't hurt - but if you had to choose just one, I'd say play with them both and then make an informed choice.

Exactly. There was so much hype around Yarn when it came out, and it turned out to be pretty much npm with a couple more bells attached. OTOH, pnpm is doing it just right.

I think the cultural context is missing for you. The article is more an indictment on what it's really like, starting up in a country riddled with corruption and lawlessness at multiple levels. That can be hard to relate to or even arr

Then I'm not sure to what extent nw.js solves the problem.

by sealord 9y ago
Have you checked out [NW.js]( https://nwjs.io/ )? I'm not sure if it's better than Electron in terms of executable size and performance, but definitely worth a shot. Then there's [Kivy]( https://kivy.

Thank you! I suppose I could expose the blessing ID. I could either create a `Blessing` class, in which case you'd instantiate it and have easy access to the generated UUID. Or, I could simply return a dictionary containing the UUID an

That wasn't the intended function, but yes - by doing that, you'd end up blessing your code and putting all sorts of helpful checkpoints. At one point, with a bit of luck, such a checkpoint could even prevent your code from cras

I've got friends who're HR professionals, and I'll say it anyway - they're idiots. I'm yet to see an HR person who genuinely understands how dev ecosystems change, and what they should really look out for as opposed

I can't really say I know exactly how you feel, but I can safely say I've been in a slightly similar position before. And honestly, every time I look at frameworks like Angular or React, I feel like throwing in the towel right the
