This is simply incorrect, we were distributing the exact binaries signal produces.

This is not correct. The trademark doesn't affect the copyright but you need both in order to publish binaries with the original name and logo in a store. You need a copyright lice…

I don't think there is any reason for publishers to force users to download their software from the internet now that the Snap Store and Flathub exists. I've had so many bad experi…

I'm the maintainer of this unofficial snap package.

Signal Snap Maintainer here, this is because of a DMCA takedown request from lawyers representing Signal. Canonical is currently working with them to clear things up. Canonical's c…

Overleaf. It makes it so easy to get started with LaTex, and it's easy to let others given feedback on your work.

Just a technical note: "spectrum" in autism spectrum disorder doesn't refer to a scale from "mild" to "strong", but refers to a spectrum of symptoms/behaviors. There is a broad spe…

In Dutch-speaking Belgium, soup used to be a staple of our diet. Every meal started with soup when I was young.

As an example: "weerhouden" in Flemish means "to be included", while in Netherlands' Dutch it means "to be excluded". Or take "poepen" which means "to have sex" or "to take a shit"…

Yeah, just use flags and confuse the fuck out of multilingual countries. Belgium has Dutch, German and French as official languages. So what would a Belgian flag mean? What flag sh…

I do this with my code and can highly recommend it. Supplying bad code is a lot more valuable than supplying no code. Also in my experience, reviewers won't actually review your co…

This clearly isn't the whole truth given tumbler has a large banner asking you to download the app when you surf to the website.

After opening this url on my phone, it waits three seconds and then shows me a scam ad scaring me into purchasing a fake android cleaner app.

From the HN guidelines: > Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to …

I wanted to clarify the cross-platform point: WASM + WASI means a single binary has near-native performance, but can run on any CPU architecture and any OS.

It's all about reduction of surface and giving plugins access to the least amount of info. You expect a linter to only have (read) access to the code it lints. It shouldn't be able…

As someone from the Flemish (dutch-speaking) part of Belgium, I can honestly say that is a very US-centric view you have. In the Netherlands, the custom of "Sinterklaas", which was…
