Maybe, maybe not. But if you only rely upon the client-side feature of the app and if code signing is employed, you could safely use the app without fear of potentially your private data being stolen (assuming the original code doesn't

Exactly. That's why I'm advocating for a signed JavaScript/HTML/webapp standard of some sort.

by jonpaul 13y ago
Not as far as I know... I could run a server that serves up HTML/JS and if that JS was modified by an attacker who hacked the server, consumers of my HTML/JS wouldn't know regardless of whether it's served up on HTTPS or

Anyone interested in signed JavaScript? Initiatives like this are great. However, I'm most interested in signed JavaScript. I'm surprised that there isn't more of a discussion going about this since JavaScript crypto is near

Nice work. You may want to look into collaborating with these guys: https://github.com/angular-widgets/angular-jqm Basically, they are using the jQuery Mobile CSS (no jQuery though) with Angular.

I thought ACH debits were in beta? Are they out of beta now?

This is a very common practice if the CLI application depends upon Node.js.

Like another commenter, I was also going to recommend Google's LevelDB. It has bindings for just about every major language and it's my understanding it works really well as a KV store.

Awesome! How does it compare with Sequel.js? http://www.sequelizejs.com/

While I enjoyed your joke, I'm not sure how the PC market fading can be ascribed to luck? The rise of consumer demand of smart phones coupled with most PC's hitting a point of being "good enough" for the average consumer could be the cause.

Stating this is ego-protection at its finest. One of the finest comments I've ever read regarding this was written here, years ago ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1791800 ): "This attitude bugs me a lot. There is probably a path for

Correct me if I'm wrong, I thought the Galaxy Nexus wasn't on Verizon? I also thought that it didn't support LTE? Is that correct?

by jonpaul 13y ago
So which Android phone do you buy if you want unsubsidized on Verizon/LTE? Sincere question.

To be fair, it's my understanding that EC2 are virtual machines. If they use EC2, they need to be 100% certain that their servers are safe and don't fall victim to the Bitcoinica Linode attack. http://bitcoinmagazine.com/the-bitcoinica-lin

Funny, I was just looking at Haraka earlier today to build an email-first startup. Being an active Node.js dev, Haraka looks very attractive!

A bit off-topic, but I'm curious as to why you chose to use Redis to Go over firing up a VM yourself and hosting Redis?

I'm a Coinbase customer, and as an additional data point, their customer service has been wonderful. Now granted, this was about a month ago. I did send them an email on Thursday and haven't heard back from them, but my request wasn't urgen

What's going to happen to Orchestra? (The same company is behind Mailbox)
82.
by jonpaul 14y ago
That's exactly what I came here to ask. I hated Mailbox, but love Orchestra and use Orchestra daily. I hope they keep it around, but I have an odd feeling that they won't.

by jonpaul 14y ago
To my knowledge, Heroku still does not support Websockets. However, if you use, Socket.IO, then you can use long-polling with Heroku.
84.
by jonpaul 14y ago
Presumably so, since the press release explicitly mentions websockets, and you can use Nginx (which now supports websockets) or choose to not use any reverse proxy.

Yes, and such a country would not be one that I'd want to live in. The tyranny of the majority can, at times, oppress the minority.

I think the point of the person you're responding to, was that if you use the selenium interface with PhantomJS, you can change your testing browser to Firefox, Safari, etc with very little work on your part. i.e start with Phantom/Selenium

Update : It seems that he has provided an implementation now. I feel better about that, I can't stand when people squat on package names in Node.js. (Meta: the edit link expired, hence the reply to myself)

Nice work! It's too bad that this guy squatted on the `toml` package name without any implementation: https://github.com/BinaryMuse/toml-node

I was really disappointed with 280 North and their lack of transparency regarding Atlas. I was a beta customer and they kept promising an update on the Motorola situation. Nothing but silence.
