Apple has a hard requirement that you use the safari rendering engine for all browsers. So even Firefox on iOS is really just reskined safari. Android is much more open, you can download Firefox on Android and it will infact be Firefox. Wha

The poster of this "Show HN" seems to have zero involvement with the development of berty. I've been eagerly awaiting the release of berty for a few months now, but they have not made public the app yet. They have a closed be

I don't really understand... Does WhatsApp have a better UI? Why? To me signal is the best UI, and WhatsApp looks like a child designed it. Especially with the horrid default colors and backgrounds. But I don't really see a differ

The article addresses with a chain of events of small concessions that eventually lead to so much splash damage that the public mind is swayed against you. The conclusion is that people must always fight to defend against splash damage beca

They all include a NDA about the agreement itself. So yes, the terms are confidential. Even the fact that a particular that you may or may not have an agreement at all is confidential.

Interesting, in the Android play store it says Sept 2018. But I opened it on a browser and I see Feb 2019. However all the negative comments about ads are from after November 2020. Clearly a smear campaign.

I've been using this one since the Android 1.0: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.zxi... What's interesting, is that despite the app not being updated since 2018, open source, and

This is an interesting problem with true E2E solutions. The person sending you the image would need to send it with lower resolution. There is no way for the server to do it for you. The servers also don't store messages once they been

Not the creator, but this was created 13 years ago. It seems like it is about 8 scenes that spawns the next scene in the vanishing point of the current scene.

There is a lot of nuance to what happens and when. If you "ipfs add" a file, ie take a local file and add it to ipfs, the default is to also pin it. This is most likely what you want. If you just fetch or cat a file, it will still

Sorta, a peer can advertise dns addresses, and the browser can participate in the dht as a client. The example above uses webrtc-star for browser to browser discovery. $ ipfs dht findpeer 12D3KooWJxNHY6zE1KnzFdBJrTMCbhCVNtSLvjp7qR5Wsp

The address of the file is the hash of the file. (Really the hash of the DAG of the file) So you could validate it if you wanted to. Because the URL _is_ the hash, if you did validate it you could be very sure that it is correct. If a webse

I'm not sure you are right about this. The following link will stream big buck bunny directly from the network with full P2P support. It is not using a gateway node for the video content. https://bbb.fu.io/ You can run

by georgyo 6y ago
You're almost right. The IPFS gateway nodes also cache the content. IE, they are both storing, hosting, and sharing to other IPFS nodes.

I don't know what you think is needed for nix/guix that has not existed the past 20 years. All the other technologies I mentioned require fairly recent kernels to work, namely for all the namespace shenanigans they employ. Nix can

System configuration is just another store item, but symlinked, copied, or referenced by other places outside the store as well. Such as systemd services. You're likely right though that compatibility between the two projects will cont

by georgyo 6y ago
My point was more than guix and nix could both write to the same store using a single daemon compatible with both in the future. Ensuring some cooperation between the two going forward. That currently isn't possible, but would be nice.

I firmly believe that Nix (and/or Guix) are the future. I am going to use Nix as the keyword below, but Guix and Nix are so very similar that everything is also true for Guix. Snap, Flatpak, Docker, AppImage, etc are all very complex s

I think for code readability show defaults can be confusing, unless you _always_ show those defaults. The following implies that bar might be null-able if you don't know what the default is. foo = text(null=False) bar = text(

That doesn't work still. It will reflow all your lines to reflow to 1000. Try it out, anything above 88 makes even the cleanest python a nightmare. I don't like long lines, but reflowing logic is way to aggressive in these formatt

Auto formatters are the future, why should humans ever have to manually format or discuss how it should look ever again. However, languages that have a line length limit are the blight of them. There isn't a python formatter that won&#

This is true, I was not counting police guns, which are in fact everywhere. I was not also counting military guns that started showing up after 9/11. I was only referring to civilian guns, which perhaps was not clear.

I have also lived in Brooklyn my whole life. I have never seen a gun outside of a person's home or a gun store. When I was a when I was maybe 15 I was on the roof of a building when someone reported a visible gun. With 15 minutes my
