   The VPN is also in Canada, a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes country, so in addition to selling your web history they'll also turn it over to any govt agency with no warrant or even notifying you.

   Pretty neat demonstration of WebGL technology, but even with 100mbit fiber here at work the map took a few seconds to load from time to time. Is there no way to preload & cache this data due to using WebGL or is this just this particula

    The official Reddit app for Android is pretty feature poor so far. It only offers a default theme and a dark theme. It only offers a default layout and a compact layout. No customization beyond that. No option to always view links in ex

    I couldn't find this answer either. It's difficult to trust someone with large hosting / development / etc costs but no business model. It's not a charity. How do they "keep the lights on" with no fees?

    ASP.NET is a great. I've used it since it's existed (coming from what is now called "Classic ASP"). I think the HN intolerance towards Microsoft / zealousness for Apple is showing here. Certainly .NET isn't f

    C# devs like myself are interested in Xamarin are interested because they don't have too learn new language / tooling to do mobile dev. Learning Swift isn't any more appealing than learning Objective C.
