This is very impressive stuff - thank you! I used three.js to PoC something like this in the past (nowhere near as polished though). As great as WebGL is it takes quite a bit of effort to get something polished so kudos to you.

Looking at one component and saying it’s safe (qualified with ‘if you know what’s going on’) misses the point. In fact it’s an engineering style response because it shows some myopia. Safety in an aircraft means getting passengers to their

These guys put all this evil into their code (PHP no less so easily readable by anyone) and it took this long for them to get caught? Further, they peddled this into who knows how many themes they sold and never thought they'd get caug

Nicely written article and I am sorry for what happened. Similar thing happened to a friend of mine some years ago and since then I don’t dare take my bag out during evenings. Re The Met - it’s a sad state of affairs with policing in the UK

So documentation for devs can somehow be poorer and we can throw out mobile-support for that audience too? Why? Why is it ok to sideline a group you’re presumably coveting?

Elections are no use if you can’t hold those you’ve elected accountable to the promises and commitments they made. The downvoter must believe it’s ok for politicians to sell the electorate down the river.

We need tougher laws to put these politicians behind bars if they’ve not acted in the best interests of its citizens.

I found this project on Github a few weeks ago and have been quietly following it. It looks really cool but I didn’t get from the readme how I would best take my relational tables and make a set of matrices from them. I’ll take another look

“Resecurity also said it warned Citrix on December 28...” And then: “Citrix, meanwhile, said it took action – launching an internal probe and securing its networks – after hearing from the FBI earlier this week.” Putting aside the fact this

So many ‘security’ companies making coding mistakes that there’s simply no excuse for. How are these companies remaining in business? Call yourself unhackable and then don’t bother to even authenticate API requests... mind bogggles.

Tell that to the person at work who recently came back from a FP workshop and has declared war on all state... Developers to tend to go from extremes.

Indeed, when I see 'lightweight' or 'simple' to describe something I'm usually expecting it to be not those things.

It’s a shame because I used Onavo before it was acquired and back in the days of limited mobile data plans it really reduced my bills. I didn’t trust FB so ditched it right after they got bought (feeling validated!). However it got me think

I’m beginning to think the coolness of open sourcing stuff is wearing off a bit. If it is core tech to a business then why bother? Lots of cool projects don’t really get that many contributors. No point getting a community hooked on your so

The ‘black box’ isn’t really that. There’s an open source Node version of it published on the companies github and on their forums

... I continue to use smartclient.com for my front end work. It continues to kick everything from a productivity perspective and the framework is fantastic (for business-y apps). People used to tell me it was too heavy weight. People used t

I’ve had to go through code reviews (as a freelancer) conducted by people who clearly were angry people and who had no (current) development experience. Their job titles were Technical Design Architects and part of their job was to make sur

I spoke to a number of researchers several years ago before vaping really became so mainstream. To be honest a number had a rather surprising view: if it has nicotine in it then it must be bad. I formed my own opinion back then: the researc

Have to agree with this. Too many times I've seen UX people brought in who see the ONLY path to simplification as removing things /they/ don't perceive as necessary. They're flat out wrong - you can simplify also

Re NAMEDATALEN specifically - you at least acknowledge it eventually needs fixing. On the mailing list there were a lot of important Postgres people who don’t seem to agree. Agreeing that there is something worthy of fixing is a first step.

Actually as great as Postgres is and as generally approachable the community is - my experience was the same a few times and I read it on the mailing list happening to others: Someone comes along with a patch or idea. Bunch of big Postgres

I sit and discuss ideas on what’s easy, what’s hard, etc. It’s an ongoing process but I rarely end up with something that involves too many hacks

Having worked there myself before and leaving in disgust this is definitely how it goes down. Further, I always suspected some kind of dodgy dealing at some clients I’d visit since there’d be an army of their employees who’d be negative abo

I'm familiar with both Java and .NET worlds and for a recent product had to pick one. I ended up picking Kotlin (JVM) only because the team I'm working with are more proficient in Java but I must admit, C# looked incredibly tempt

You put what I was getting at far more eloquently. If there are bad guys up to no good then there needs to be more evidence to counteract the possibility of paranoia.

Everyone loves a good spy story but this one just misses a lot. Creepy people with seemingly fragile LinkedIn profiles setup meetings to ask questions in fancy hotels and restaurants. It could be something, it could be nothing. Either way t

Well this is great news for the guys at Citus - they created something great as a Postgres add-on and a big chunk of it was open sourced. They made a decent cloud business model out of it (no idea how successful but everyone I asked was hap

I’ll add my pet peeve to the list: Sell me a £1k phone that can’t connect to the £3.5k laptop you sold me because the phone comes with a USB-A cable and the laptop only has USB-C sockets. This is precisely the sort of garbage Stveve was ver
