Do we really think Javascript is exotic? Hasn't it proved itself over many years now? That doesn't mean it can't have issues like anything else. And because of the massive scale of the language you'll see a lot of shit.

I think Alex Jones is way more about the ad revenue than his message.

Your comment led me to figuring out if Second Life is still really a thing. And I can't really figure it out. Apparently Linden Lab has over 200 employees so there must be some revenue on it. But is the user base growing, and how big i

1-2 weeks ago I saw someone checking in on Foursquare. Must have been years since I saw that. This seem like a valid question :) "What would you say you do here?"

We wanted to see how easy it was to build "native" apps with html/css/javascript today using atom-shell. And it turns out that it's actually quite easy. A feature we missed from VLC was that you could send video to

I wouldn't want something like this to be closed source. It's very important that the security of the decentralization can be validated. And in these NSA times it's even more important.

The idea is to showcase how a large dataset is pretty good at being shared without having central servers. Here using bittorrent. mafintosh showed how wikipedia could be shared without a central server(s), and instead rely on a network of p

I would think that looking at patterns on the CPU level is almost impossible. The overhead would be enormous. For instance if you look for a magic number. Instead of putting two numbers on the stack, and perform an addition you now have to

Agreed. But the discussion here on Github is pretty good and tells us that it's happened to quite a lot of people. So the headline might be a bit sensational, but it's a real problem.

I don't think people will be upset to get an "WARNING: You might have committed a secret" if it's a negative. You might be right if it really is a ton, but then you work on your algorithm. I think the problem is so big t

Good job. Would be interesting to try browserify some of the more fs-heavy modules from npm.

As a Danish person I was also confused about that when I first read it. I think it's a misuse of the word "warrant", and more has to do with whether or not they've charged him (I think).

Ahh, ok. With the Ge.tt API you receive a token which is stored in local storage. So the pass is never stored locally.

The extension requires login to Ge.tt (it's free). And the Gmail login goes through the normal Google login. What the extension does is to add a button to the page and when you click that files are uploaded to Ge.tt and a link is added to y

Sort of explained already, but "bad" bots would never go look for that file. And a good bot probably already identifies itself the the request, so no need to look through robots.txt.

I agree. Actually, a few days ago I presented Ge.tt for an event called Demoday. With a small demo, which wasn't more than a screencast, they all seemed to get it (pun intended) very fast. And the feedback was extremely good. So, for a star

Ahh, hehe, never thought about it like that :) I see what you mean. We'll update the front page in a not so long time, and then we'll think more about it. To be honest we think that we need to work on being more to the point. Which is what
