Ten years ago, the only way you could order food in India was by calling up the restaurant and talking to actual people. Or in the cases of major chains like McDonalds and KFC, ordering off their websites. But today, we’re  spoilt for choices when it comes to food ordering options . And all of them bend over backward with 100% cash back or flat out a free 1st meal for new users to make them stick. But the thing is, nobody needs 20 different food delivery apps. Most people stick with just a couple at most. So that means they’re picking the best ones for them, based on delivery range, inventory, and ease of use. The other apps just get dumped by the wayside. But the winners aren’t safe because, as any millennial will testify, you always try the new app because you never know how great it’s going to be. Because of that, there’s a lot of what market researchers call “churn”, which is when users try an app,  get bored or dissatisfied with it , and eventually move o...

If you’re not an athlete or serious exerciser — and you just want to work out for your health or to fit in your clothes better — the gym scene can be intimidating and overwhelming. What are the best exercises for me? How will I find the time? Just having to walk by treadmills, stationary bikes, and weight machines can be enough to make your head straight back home to the couch. Yet some of the best physical activities for your body don’t require the gym or ask you to get fit enough to run a marathon. These “workouts” can do wonders for your health. They’ll help keep your weight under control, improve your balance and range of motion, strengthen your bones, protect your joints, prevent bladder control problems, and even ward off memory loss. No matter your age or fitness level, these activities are some of the best exercises you can do and will help you get in shape and lower your risk for disease: 1. Swimming You might call swimming the perfect workout. The buoyancy of t...

Microsoft: The open source company The times, they are a-changin’—even bits of Windows will be open source. The news from Microsoft’s Build developer conference that surprised me most was that  Microsoft will ship a genuine Linux kernel —GPLed, with all patches published—with Windows. That announcement was made with the announcement of  Windows Terminal , a new front-end for command-line programs on Windows that will, among other things, support tabs. Microsoft’s increased involvement with open source software isn’t new, as projects such as  Visual Studio Code  and  the .NET runtime  have operated as open source, community-driven projects. But this week’s announcements felt a bit different. The Linux kernel will be powering Microsoft’s second generation  Windows  Subsystem for Linux (WSL). The first generation WSL contains a partial re-implementation of the Linux kernel API that uses the Windows NT kernel to perform its functionality...
