    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 VL…

    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 impor…

    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 wit…

    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 nu…
