Congratulations for the launch, team!

Living in Bangalore, this is one of the biggest challenges I see. We notice the dying lakes and water supply shortages. It would not be wrong to say that a mafia of water tanker operator exists.

A friend from Jaipur mentioned how their city handled this situation better & how Bangalore seems to be struggling despite good rainfall.

The other night we saw a man refilling water cans from an ordinary hose and prayed for the recipients' health.

Are you launching a service or product for domestic users? Shout if you need beta testers.


At first glance, project explorer's circular is not intuitive. My first reaction was to switch to the grid view. Perhaps, they should make the grid view as default.


This is blazing fast, congrats! However, I am concerned by the use of IN domain. Indian govtt frequently asks ISPs to block sites to avoid piracy. How do you plan to avoid getting blocked?


we only have https version


Well even PirateBay had that... and they can just block DNS requests to the website. You should probably set up a hidden service on Tor.


TOR service will be put in place soon


Will that prevent the GOI (Government of India) from blocking the domain?


Yes, here in India blocking happens on port 80 only. Kind of nice, comply with the requests from the government but don't really block anything for the good of masses.


Please help me understand whether Graylog is better/easier/simpler than ELK? A quick glance through the docs and it looks very similar.


One thing it has over ELK worth mentioning is that it has authentication in the open source version. Also able to configure it more through the web interface than ELK.


It's a lot easier to set up and manage in my experience. The interface is very user friendly. It all depends on your specific needs of course. ELK is a bit more performant I think, although I have never compared them properly. Both have good scaling capabilities.


97.7% of which is images. Also, PageSpeed gives it a 48/100 on desktop.


"Developing and running your app on your Apple device is as easy as entering your Apple ID into Xcode preferences. Apple Developer Program membership is not required."

Is this a recent change? Sounds like a boon to indie devs.


It started last year with Xcode 7.


I just started using this. Maybe someone else can confirm whether this is true for paid accounts as well... with unpaid accounts, you're limited to 10 program builds per week. As in, 10 separate programs built and loaded onto a device.

I don't know the fine details, just ran into that wall last week as I was loading a bunch of different tests and examples to an iPad.


Your career page mentions housing as a perk. That's a first for me. I do not match any profile but I'd recommend friends.


Thank you! What is your craft?


Excited by the Jio launch. Congratulation! Any QA/Test Automation roles? Where are your offices in Bangalore?


Yes@TestAutomation. Email in body.


Openshift V3 (container based) is in dev preview currently. V2 is not based on containers. Have been using V2 for personal projects and it is good.
