You do understand that Twitter is not a representation of the society in any meaningful way, right?

Indias software sector is so starved of talented resources that they have already started tapping into rural areas. e.g. navgurukul.org

No we should definitely discuss and eliminate casteism, no disagreement on that. But you don’t comment “White male privilege” in all the other posts, right?

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. There are tons of posts by Indian women, Muslims and Dalits that show that they’re also ascendant, but if you only look at -ve aspec…

What a coincidence, I literally saw the comment on the Supabase thread about PostgREST yesterday. I wonder how does this handle server side tasks like sending emails etc?

Looks cool. This combined with the release of the new RasPi will be a great era for lightweight computing on small devices.

That's more or less what I had in mind. Thanks for the detailed write-up, I think I'll need foot on the ground approach, and get in touch with them directly.

That's an interesting point, thanks for the tip. I'll try to contact the POS vendors/startups in Berlin and see if they could help.

Hallöchen HN, I'm a developer working on an pilot Product that targets traditional German businesses, like bakeries, cafes and restaurants. (No it's not a POS solution). However I'…
