It's github stars, right? ST isn't open source, so it's not hosted on github. But it is notable. That said, where's vim?

I think there's a difference between usage and github stars. I generally don't really star many Big projects like angular2 or react, since there's so much notification spam on it. I star smaller things which are likely to hav

While I like that idea (paid extras to deal with pain points), it puts developers of the base product in a weird position. They are incentivized to ignore user complaints on one codebase, as that's a business driver on the other codeba

I'm a big fan of localForage. It handles the fallbacks on various devices. There's a few things it doesn't do super-well (multiple get/set operations in a batch, notably), but it's a great polyfill, especially if yo

What this looks like to me is the same adage: never trust the client software. When doing web stuff, I can't trust the client with my api secrets, that's why I use oauth. My secrets are (theoretically) safe on the server side, and

I have a MS in computer science that I got at UC Berkeley. I had to take a lot of classes and write a thesis. Primarily, the thesis involved the design and implementation of something interesting (at the time, at least), and then I wrote ab

The problem is a bit more structural or philosophical. I don't visit subreddit foo, because it is objectively hate speech. Fine, except that reddit's profitability model depends on that subreddit existing and gold being passed aro

Spend time: figure out what app, download it (possibly on data roaming), make a new account, use app once, be stuck wuth data breaches forever, and good luck figuring out which one is tracking you all the time and running your battery to th

to be fair, I was hoping they were going powers-of-two on their releases. There's something very knuthian about that versioning scheme. (e.g., see TeX version numbering)

I dunno. I use hapijs at my day job (and am .. happy .. with it). They're on like version 16.0 so far, but I tend to only actually bump my own installed version every now and again. We basically update if there's a bug we need add

I wrote a blog post about three years ago about doing single-sign-on stuff between salesforce and google by writing a google appengine app that acted as a SAML IDp. At the time, salesforce didn't speak OAUTH and google didn't nati

Well, this sucks. I really don't want a fitbit - I like the pebble formfactor and legit use it as a notifier. If I wanted a fitness tracker, I'd get a $15 pedometer. I backed and received a pebble2 to replace my pebble1. (as a Un

That is correct. The recipient can reply from that webpage as well, however you can't have a conversation there (your replies to their replies don't show up in that page, they have to get new URLs in their email).

So, to distinguish, there's web-of-trust things and general pgp/gpg encryption (and signing) UX. Both of these are pretty abysmal for non-technical users. I don't think "muggle" users would be interested in the web

Here's a couple of problems. 1) Many things are political on some level. Consider encryption, the future of technology, automation, global trade. What counts as political? 2) Not discussing things that are deemed "political"

I think that it's important to support minority opinions, sure. Civil discourse needs to be civil. That said, not wanting to talk about politics is a political act. It's basically saying, "let's let the status quo keep g

This is similar to what Nate Silver put out earlier (as mentioned in the article). The difference in voting to each candidate by county and voting machine type is completely explained by the population distribution in those counties. In Wis

this is why I ended up with spherical.fish - memorable, my first name is buried in it, and cheap. also, there's no .cow gTLD so I can't do spherical.cow. Spherical.horse is squatted already.

Really? They're offering me $400 for my 256gb / 2.4ghz late 2013 retina model. Pretty bog standard and 3 years old. That's enough to make me seriously consider it, since I've been eyeing the surface book for a bit. Mainl

Let me make sure I understand this. This vulnerability is basically because the addon authors are using angular to parse webpages, and therefore because they don't have control over the DOM elements angular is being used on, they'
