There's a graph at the bottom of https://www.cbs.nl/nl-nl/maatschappij/verkeer-en-vervoer/tra... . It's in Dutch, but should be understandable if you Google Translate and click "Show table"

Of course, often the honest answer is "I don't know the solution to your issue, and finding it would take me X hours of debugging (assuming StackOverflow doesn't know the answer)." So you should probably say that instead

No, it doesn't mean that. You can try it out here: https://runkit.com/embed/ev53mh0z4nxt `makeTestType("null")()(null)` return true, but `makeTestType("number")()(null)` doesn't. The signa

Using numbers for probabilities is not a panacea either, when those numbers are not the result of a calculation. One person might say "99% of the time" to mean "almost always", and another person might say "9 out of

I think leaving the door open, or at least hoping to leave the door open, is a big reason why people ghost in this case as well. From the article: > The engineer who ghosted ultimately did get back to her — six weeks after her call — to

Maybe someone could make it so that, out of the box, when you double click an .exe for which PlayOnLinux has a Wine install script, it's automatically used. And if not try to just launch it with Wine and hope for the best. Obviously, t

Using a VPN to connect to a location in Europe might work, if the company uses IP address to check whether a user is in the EU. Of course, Facebook has other options (many users just tell them where they live, you can even fill out an addre

Yes, definitely. GitLab's API is very similar to GitHub's, except that it doesn't support CORS. If that's fixed it should be pretty simple to add support for GitLab.

Yep. Or, you can also set a password on the document and share that out-of-band, if you don't trust whatever it is you use to send the URL.
288.
by twiss 9y ago
Certainly - although the JS can also just read the document and submit that. To make sure that it isn't doing either, you'd have to read the code on GitHub.

Thanks for the report, I'll look into it. But yeah, the collaboration is still a bit rough around the edges currently.

by twiss 9y ago
The encryption key is in the share link, and also stored encrypted in all collaborating users' accounts (if they have one - an account is not required to collaborate).

Yes! What kind of premium features do you have in mind?

There's no way to block activate events, but there's a way to delay them. In the meantime, you can check the new Service Worker file against GitHub, and if it doesn't match, warn the user.

Do you have some more specific criticism on the design?

While a hacker gaining access to the developers' GitHub account would be bad, they would still have to actually push the malicious code to GitHub before they can serve it from airborn.io. So, if people pay attention to pushes to GitH

No, because the password encrypted with the password recovery key is never sent to the server. It's encrypted and downloaded entirely on the client.

by twiss 9y ago
The Service Worker doesn't simply check a signature from the developer, it checks the source code against the version on GitHub. So, to know whether it contains a backdoor, read the code on GitHub.

Yeah. I've been focusing on office apps rather than "any apps", and I removed the window manager based on feedback here and elsewhere that it felt too "heavy" and unnecessary. Also, the app store was actually the Fi

You can create a blockquote element by pressing Tab, although it won't have any special styling. If you want, you could add some CSS in Raw view. I'll look into making a control for this specifically, although IIRC browser support

Yeah, I'll look at increasing prices. Thanks. We're basically banking on medium-size businesses finding it more convenient to use a hosted service, especially when it offers the same or a higher level of security.

Non-business accounts update to the latest version automatically. If you login to an old non-updated account using a new device, you get the old version. We might eventually notify old accounts that they have to update, but we haven't
