If I'm going to go the route of sharing a password, why wouldn't I just put a .txt or .html file with my email body in a password-protected/encrypted .7z or .zip and just send it with plain old gmail? My buddy doesn't h

I know the pro-Apple bias is high here at HN, but this is just sad. Almost all developers in corporate America use WIndows. If you work outside of silicon valley at a company with more than a few dozen people, chances are you're proba

Did... did he really call React "minimalist"?! I'm not sure this guy has ever attempted to build any actual webapps with React, because that's certainly not a term that anyone would use that had.

Visual Studio Code is pretty amazing. It's always the example I give when people say native-y stuff built on Javascript (Electron) can't be fast.

I'm not sure I fully understand. Can you compare this to AWS Lambda?

Now on Tap is available anywhere in Android (even when you don't have a keyboard / input area displayed) by just holding down the home / circle key. There's no switching of apps required.

Android has had these features for a long time. Google published their own keyboard (with glide typing / etc) in June 2013 - https://plus.google.com/+android/posts/caeWaRkUyrE , but glide typing keyboards ha

You forgot this tweet or image: https://twitter.com/thomasfuchs/status/708675139253174273 That seems to be required when mentioning React since you can't learn just React, you have to learn React + at least 5

I apologize, as I seem to be failing to convey my message to you. My assertion: Apple is dropping. Be careful about investing in Apple-only techs like Swift. Your argument (I think): Apple is not dropping like a rock. To support your argum

I didn't really want to get into the reasons why. I was just pointing out that investing in an Apple-only tech might be a bad idea because it sure looks to me (and the stock market) that Apple has peaked and is now on the decline. How

You may have missed the announcement where MS bought out Xamarin and is now giving it away for free. You owe it to yourself to at least give it a try while waiting for actual cross-platform Swift. 90+% of your mobile code can be shared bet

I tried it an pretty quickly went back to C#. The Apple-only nature was the major downside to me, so maybe these kinds of changes will help (assuming it sees wide adoption outside of Apple-land). Check your local job boards, but if sell yo

While this code is pretty bad, I'm going to guess that the NSA reserves their best IT folks for... you know... the assignments other than their public facing website.

No mobile client (for Android or Windows Phone), no desktop client (for Windows or Linux).

Since OP mentioned mobile, which IRC client would you recommend on Android. Maintaining a persistent connection is battery draining. Weechat + https://www.glowing-bear.org is what I've been using but you don't get no

I'd also recommend Telegram. Whether or not secret (end-to-end encrypted) chats are implemented is up to the client's author. Not having secret chats in Telegram Desktop was a decision of the author - https://github.com

I believe the problem was that if you did /google or !google on your bots for various chat platforms, you were able to find the top hit or two without ever looking at Google's Ads. Most of their revenue is ads.

I've heard the same from a lot of buddies that have upgraded to Android in the last few years. What is it about iMessage that you miss? For group messaging, are all of your friends still using iMessage instead of cross platform things

The judge ordered mobile operators to block it. It's on them to set up the firewall rules / null routes / etc.

Telegram gets hit hard every time WhatsApp gets blocked in Brazil. It's happened 2x before (at least).

Latest release was back in October? What's new that I'm missing here?

Correct me if I'm wrong but Ganeti only does Xen VMs while ProxMox also does LXC containers. Nice to have both via one central UI.

The UI is much improved and more modern looking in the new version. Try it out. It's pretty great software!

You might want to start with a web UI then (like SyncThing). This provides you with a simple way to display your data and you get Mac / Linux / etc support for "Free" while also allowing your Windows users to have simpl

With Forms we finally have native FOSS cross platform that we've been waiting for. See ya Cordova / React Native / etc!
