Trust WhatsApp? You must be joking. We can't see the source and it's owned by an advertising company. I'd trust iMessage over WhatsApp any day of the week. The parent company doesn't make money by potentially knowing who

Great. Now that we've succeeded in compiling a list of personal sad stories to one up one another, why not not discuss how we could encourage the banks / phone companies to make this situation impossible. 1) Ban SMS as a second fa

I'm talking about proprietary hosting in this case, not tooling.

Where/how can one learn to do this on their own?

San Francisco could definitely take a page out of New York's book here. Lets build some infrastructure!

Seems cool, anyone know how this compares to similar projects out there? In thinking of doing an OS course soon as a refresher.

Is anyone else surprised that it wasn't before?

The real question is why Chrome will no longer allow Chrome apps?

Love the confidence of this author: > Writing a real parser — one with decent error-handling, a coherent internal structure, and the ability to robustly chew through a sophisticated syntax — is considered a rare, impressive skill. In thi

Sure, but I'm still confused as to why the display format setting has anything to do with the on-disk format. To me they seem completely orthogonal.
