Telegram encryption is not opt in. End-to-end encryption however is. Also this always get mentioned and everyone confuses encryption and end-to-end encryption. What seems to never get mentioned here unless I do is that there is more to secu

No, not as far as I have seen. It seems they only describe that Telegram has been used extensively by criminals for the same reasons everyone else use it: Great ux, reasonable privacy (for what we needed). Note: all that is in a flux now. P

I worked on a system built on FAAS for a few months and it was (already when I arrived) one of the more well-tested systems I ever worked with, so it is clearly doable. I took the system from dev to prod and much of it was boring in the ver

The better alternative to yaml are json (particularly json with comments), properties files and xml files. Basically any mainstream configuration syntax. The really big problem with xml wasn't actually the verbosity of xml itself but t

Working in spring, which accepts I don't know how many formats from ENV_VARS to yaml, this very much resonates with me, because as a general rule, if one can use a certain option, someone will do it. Also the reason why I try to avoid

Care to link to the leaks? I've heard similar stories on and off but if you post the link you'd be the first to let me know the source. Not saying it isn't true. Only pointing out I have not seen the source yet.

Thing is, Ukraine also use Telegram a lot. It is forbidden for military to military communication, but openly used a lot for information from authorities to the public. A reason why russia use it is because they don't have anything bet

It is not revolutionary. It is evolutionary just like web2.0 was. That is kind of the point. But together with other, similar technologies it extends the current with metadata etc web just like web2 extended the existing web with things lik

If by web3 you mean crypto currencies then I ask you nicely to stop using web3 for that. Web3 is things like json-ld and the like and it is tragic that scammers have been able to abuse the term for so long.

Actually for most part I don't want to subscribe. And I don't want free ad sponsored. I just want to pay a reasonable (I'll get back to this) price for the things I actually want. Netflix was OK with me (and I think a number

Does this thing have nested tabs (like TST or Sideberry) or is this another one that didn't realize that saving vertical space, while useful, is less than half the point of vertical tabs?

I always run everything through virustotal first. (I should probably add that this is step two in my process: step one is to be very cautious and not download most things in the first place.)

IIRC, if the original submitter edits the title once it has been posted, the edited version sticks, i.e. the filter only works the first time and you can override it if you notice it.

She really nailed page load speed and to a large degree UX (links are clearly links, navigation just works). Many large companies have wasted lots of money on performance and UX while still being worse than this!
