My experience (on macOS, windows 10, and Ubuntu Desktop) is that captchas on Chrome pass seamlessly (frequently without a prompt), and firefox on all three platforms require 3-10 screenfuls of "where's the signal light?" wher

If you want backups from one system to another, I've been really impressed with Resilio Sync, which is commercial software, and Syncthing, which is open source. They've both got win/Mac/Linux/iOS/Android ports,

There's already support for accessing zip and tar archives as filesystems (also see ASAR), which doesn't incur the overhead of SQL evaluation. At least on Windows, this would result in a huge speedup (just because you're avoi

I think idioms and style have some level of overlap. Semicolons could be considered idiomatic or stylistic, for example. Requiring strict equality operators feels more of an idiomatic way to avoid bugs, rather than simply whitespace. Eslint

I don't think it's analogous. If you need a certificate to prove you own a domain, changing DNS TXT records for that domain , or serving a secret, from that domain , proves you own the domain. If I need a certificate that proves

"Standard" [1] and "Airbnb" [2] seem to capture some amount of sensible guidelines. Adding Prettier [3] gets you something akin to gofmt, and adopting standard eslint rules [4] can help too. [1] https://standa

Can confirm. It took the better part of a month to get both windows and mac code signing certificates provisioned for PhotoStructure. The diligence applied for both platforms at least exceeded pure security theater. They actually did a modi

Kudos for making this happen. The world needs more of this. Can I ask what factors you considered to release as an iOS app (rather than, say, a website)?

It depends on the site. For example, a Twitter timeline or Google search engine result page only needs the https request for the auction to take place, as the ads are mixed into the first-party response. Third-party ads inserted via javascr

The cloud bit is because it's going to support dweb/multi-user sharing (added in a version coming Any Day Now). I'm testing it on an rpi 4, so if you've got ~> 2gb ram, it should run.
