Yes, I understand perfectly what is is . But people attribute security properties to it that it doesn't have! What good is protection against MITM if I can just read it off your device while you type it? You have no security with mobi

Yeah, even that is not true. Do you know what Apple does with text you enter into a text field? Or the letters you type on a virtual keyboard? It's closed source and even if it were open source, you have no way of checking if the binar

Just in case you don't get it: The moment the information is unencrypted and made available via a userinterface, you've lost all control. You don't control the iOS rendering loop. You don't control the Android rendering

I really don't know which firmware nowadays qualifies as secure i.e. without backdoors. The times where we had complete control over our hardware seem to be over. Would also like to know about the current state of Open Hardware.

E2E is an illusion on anything other than a free Linux running on a free BIOS with no security enclave. You can't have E2E on mobile devices, you can't have E2E on any other OS. (And you'll probably have a hard time finding t

You should know by now: Apple is the Father, Apple is the Mother. After Apple has re-invented or re-written the MSFT playbook of the 90s, nothing surprises me anymore. Yet I cling to these machines, that take away the freedom to do with my

Cool. Looks nice! Wanted: class-based CSS that only deals with layout and positioning, not component-styles.

Ah, hacker news, the web site that can't detect duplicates or afford a message preview. Anybody else amused that we use this bare-bones, no-frills forum to discuss high-tech? ;)

Sorry, forgot this wasn't reddit. Well, will your data escape or not? As long as you are staying in OOP-land, everything is as it should be: Objects passing messages to each other, as politely as possible (trying not to bring in the co

That's exactly the point. This whole data-hiding thing has way too many downsides. If you consider your app a machine that transforms A to B, you don't want data-hiding in the first place. You want to be honest with the data you

My CSV story from last night: I had these 15MB+ excel sheets and was trying to open them with Apache POI. I gave that code a generous 2GB memory: GC overhead limit reached. Then I opened them in Excel, saved them as CSV, reached for a CSV-l

It seems perfectly clear to me: Google doesn't want what pushbullet provides. They are pulling an "Apple" on this one.

Can your DevOps read and manipulate code? If no, don't adopt a tool like this. Your Ops guys will hate you. Furthermore, the code can't be analyzed very well with tools. (aka gradle vs. maven) You want to make the same change to 2

I had the same issue. Then I went back to the roots: Lisp And learned Clojure. You will feel like you know nothing. You will feel handicapped. You will be confused. Then, one day, you will understand what simplicity means and how Clojure&#x

A technology with a 1% catastrophic failure rate that will devastate whole regions for centuries is a nightmare and should be replaced ASAP. Keep it in the ground: Oil, coal, gas and uranium! It's over

Once you leave your apple politics behind, you could show some admiration for the site itself: Clear instructions, kick-ass animations. I'd love to be able to afford support sites like this one.

It is comical we are getting excited about a bunch of CSS files and other assets. As others have pointed out: Desktop apps never had this problem and decent operating systems gave you much more freedom to adjust the color style to your liki

This makes me sad and furious at the same time. Anyone who has sung on staged, or acted, for that matter, knows that there will be spit . And it will fly far. Farther than this group separated. Furious because: You kinda should have known,

In the Clojure world, Pathom scratches the same itch and seamlessly connects different domains that can then be queried together. It uses EQL behind the scenes and also converts to GraphQL

Slight correction: FSMs are not turing-complete. They may not hold though, which is not the same thing.

So far they haven't and it's been a few years. The true question is: when is GMail changing its CSS class names ;)

I agree. I wish we could just use EDN and Clojure, but your DevOps guy is not writing Go or Clojure code. They are also not doing code reviews to enforce security policies. If you have DevOps guys who are also software developers, more powe

It sounds a little bit like a solution for a problem you wouldn't have if you didn't use classes and inheritance in the first place. A role as understood by OOram design principles paper is "An activity is a task carried out

Wouldn't it be nice if this was actually part of the OS networking stack? Wouldn't that make it easier to write correct (for some form of correctness) distributed applications, leaving the messy details to a proven lower-level sta
