I know a lot of people are rather pessimistic about a Reddit competitor gaining traction, but on a technology and UX note they've done a great job. I signed up on mobile and browsed around. The user experience is miles ahead of Reddit&

If Levie or Altman end up reading this thread, I have some constructive criticism: I really think the first 30 minutes of Levie's talk were too much of a pitch for Box. I don't need to be sold on the company or technology when I&#

I disagree as well. As the owner of a company who has had to lay people off in the past, I would love this thread to try to raise awareness of some talented people that are now on the market for new work.

Password strength checkers when signing up to a websitr don't send anything over the wire. They generally just analyze the entropy of a password and give live feedback to improve password strength. Why do they make your nervous?

Slack only provides a bit of history unless it's a paid account. What open source community could support that many paid users on Slack?

I really like Fail2ban for SSH lockdowns, but I worry about using it for repeat login attempts on an application. Depending on the application, this could possibly lock out everyone in an office, campus, etc. For certain critical services b

My only qualm with recommending iPhone only is it doesn't take into account other countries where it's unaffordable for a journalist to own one. I know a group of journalists in Venezuela for whom an iPhone is simply far too expen

Interesting, thanks for the insight.

That makes sense. Just out of curiosity, to my point above, how much cooperation from the manufacturer of different systems (Hololens/Xbox/Playstation) do you need to be able to target builds for them?

by codelitt 10y ago
I sure hope so. I think one of the barriers may be the compatibility with a lot of the devices coming out in VR. For example, to build something for the Hololens, Unity3D is the only option. IIRC, for Oculus, the only OSS game engine that t

One of our guys started a tutorial series on writing an AI to play the game, DOOM. It assumes very little knowledge and is a fun exercise to do when taking a break from some of the great courses posted here. It's no replacement for the

Of course. I am just using it as a yardstick for security strength.

Easily was, perhaps, not the correct adverb, but the linked article above as well as this one below go into it more. It does not appear to be false. http://www.theverge.com/2014/12/28/7458159/encryption-s

PGP isn't user friendly, but from the Snowden leaks we learned it is one of the few encryption standards the NSA hasn't been able to break. TLS and most configs of VPN protocols were shown to be easily compromised. PGP was basical

Can you remember where this was discussed? I was under the impression that JWT was becoming a new standard for many people. I guess that's not mutually exclusive to it being bad, but I would like to read more.

One of the best things that can happen to an open source project is support from companies that use those projects. For example, Red Hat contributing upstream to Linux. We have a dedicated 20% time that employees can work on whatever they d

Wow! Just took a look at the pricing page[^1]. This seems like a very expensive service. What makes it cost so much in comparison to what we see in the private sector? There's some info here[^2], but it's pretty general. [1]: h

Thanks for the reply. Just noticed this now. Would you say development time is slower? Faster? About the same? How is performance benchmarking against your old JSON apis?

Good point. That part doesn't make any sense. I guess what lenders we're doing before the recession in the housing market didn't make sense either though.

Debt financing is usually massively cheaper than equity financing. If you need working capital and can pay back loans with decent terms, then you should almost always prefer debt. I could be wrong, but I get the impression startups either d
