So they get a backdoor into WhatsApp and terrorists just move onto some other non-compromised tool. Rinse and repeat. You can't ban maths ffs. TBH I am surprised attackers do not better destroy their electronic equipment just before th

Indeed. Sublime is amazing but just look at the last update which came out in September 2016 and mentioned getting things in order for a v3 final release soon. That was 6 months ago now.

I don't really get this blog post. Why couldn't his father self-teach some other languages? He doesn't need professionally taught courses, just a couple of books from Amazon and he would be able to get some projects up on G

Weight loss really isn't that complicated. Want to lose weight? Consume less calories than your body needs so it has to convert your excess fat for fuel. Exercise can help you use more calories so you get a slightly bigger deficit but

Depends how you define v2. If you define it as a revision to the original version then - The DSi was an upgrade to the DS but not a whole new console generation. The Wii Mini was a downgrade (seriously) to the Wii to make it cheaper/sm

Spend £10 on a Udemy (or wherever) course and see how she likes that. If she picks things up and enjoys it then maybe the boot camp will be a good idea or maybe she finds she can do it herself or maybe she finds she hates it all. For £10 yo

3. When you need to work with a 2 code base the learning curve won't be big at all. Whereas if you start with 2 and then move to 3 you will have to unlearn a bunch of stuff which is just a waste of time. Start with 3 and then learn jus

If someone asks you the "best" way to do something but does not give you context for the problem being solved then the question is stupid. There is no all-purpose "best" way to do anything when it comes to complex syst

I switched to Chrome a year ago and while it was a little rough at the start I am very happy overall now. Shame but Firefox was just so much slower that it was annoying me. Plus Chrome syncs everything much better than Firefox ever did.

It doesn't allow it to run a ripped game like Halo 5. Any "real" game that needs full access to the Xbox hardware needs to be signed or tested on a proper dev unit. The 'dev mode on consumer consoles' is something f

Kind of. You can enable 'developer mode' on a consumer Xbox One which allows you to run unsigned apps (UWP) but it doesn't give you full access like you would get with the full SDK which gives you a load more diagnostic, de

Yes! Thank you. Email is not and will never be secure. Sorry people but it just fucking sucks when it comes to encryption. We have many other great communication protocols that were designed from the ground up to be secure as they can be.

Yup and that is why selling a generic Kodi box is fine. Loads of places sell them without issue. The issue here is that these five people have taken a normal Kodi box, modified it and then marketed it as a device designed to violate copyr

Yeah I really liked 21st Century C as well. Just a FYI for anyone looking to get it - make sure you get the latest edition (currently 2nd edition) as the first had a lot of issues which they fixed in the 2nd edition thanks to good feedback.
