ublock block count is 94 on my machine. Seems pretty high for a .gov site.

He's not wrong. edit: Per emsy's suggestion: I mean that he is just articulating that if something is free, you are the product , except he(stallman) articulates it by changing the noun to reflect his viewpoint. also, I just dele

I turned off ublock so that I could load the stylesheet. Nope, stallman's site just looks like that. It's actually refreshing, just a radical departure from the status quo. Although, it is RMS so should've expected that...

I respect Microsofts push towards reculturing into a developer first company. They have open sourced a lot of code and seem to be making a conscious effort towards transparency. Chakra, VSCode, Azure I think even powershell. Obviously this

I don't have stats on this. I assume that HN being almost exclusively an english language forum would have deographics reflecting this. I would guess (again without stats) that it is North Americans (largely US and Canada), U.K. and th

Just to be clear this is the Indian Supreme Court . While it is from the indiatimes.com english language news outfit, I would assume the majority of readers on HN are not indian. Context here is important, as some may not read the article

I am not sure exactly how it can be implemented, but I imagine that compiling and serving a binary file could allow for some maliscious things. My biggest worry is that many content blockers override js and search scripts for keywords and f

nah. It seems like webassembly doesn't provide much so I am slightly against it or at least neutral. If you could compile an overrirde i would be full on extremely negative on it. Brendan Eich tweeted it wouldn't matter, but he ha

to be clear, I was hoping to build it casually on top of a protocol or library. I would not be planning on rolling my own crypto or anything like that. I want a feature of my application to be encrypted chat which given the large availabili

I think you should name it Mac CLI. If you really think it is an issue just call it MaCLI.

do you have any resources for building a secure chat application, or maybe more accurately, implementing secure chat as a feature of an application?

i think the difference is that this is an open source command line utility for mac, so the naming convention is essentially mac command line utility. I think you are correct that it could cause issues, but nowhere near the same thing as Com

I think "this javascript mess" is largely bourne out of an attempt to mitigate content blocking. asm.js is pretty fast and I am not sure how much improvement wasm will provide, but if given access to more of the low-level environm

I think an important point which is related is that these companies control information. DMCA requests and the companies issuing them have become much more sophisticated. The joke is that Bing is much better for porn. However, I personally

Nick, Great writeup. I am a big proponent of the idea of webassembly as I believe many are. The browser is one of the greatest apps, and it is easy to look past many of its flaws because it provides a universal environment to develop for.

I can respect that. However, my point is, are you a web developer who primarily writes code for the web at your day job. Anecdotally, I haven't seen a lot of overlap between people writing web applications and C# developers. I have see
