I agree that there's a strong need for ad blockers nowadays. I also use uBlock Origin on all my browsers. But I'm not sure if a world that is completely devoid of advertising would…

Keyword is "like": a service like Proton. No idea if and what data they have offered to their government. I was merely trying to offer an explanation to the parent commenter, who w…

I think the key difference is the amount of data the service can offer when it is asked to do so by some legal entity. Signal famously claims to barely have any useful data to turn…

I like the idea, but the UI gives me a headache, especially when the "found words" are still loading. I think it might have to do with the contrast? If relevant, I'm loading the we…

Could you not tackle this problem by not allowing this mingling of 'next' and 'current' variables? You would only allow a next variable to be a computation of current variables. No…

Google: a lot, most of their services has one. However, I believe they use an OAuth (-ish) service rather than session IDs to manage authentication, so cookies aren't really an iss…

Thanks! Interesting concept.

Thanks a lot. To be honest, I've already went through the "change" described in the article, but the article helped me see the better picture. I now have a reasonable social life a…

>Romantically, this Thanks for an inspring and helpful read! This actually helps me (a 17 year old) out a lot.

> wow[such][deep][3][much][power][!] And there goes my interest for this submission. Don't use overused memes in a submission. Liking the idea though.

Reminds me a bit of Scratch[1], a tool that came pretty popular when the Raspbery Pi came out. Very simple programming interfaces that work with simple graphics, but can do a lot o…

Great explenation. To add to your story: imagine being the car manufacturer, doing this all for free (as in beer) and still having people more or less wishing you dead for building…

I know about Shellshock and I know what it means. However, I think it's wrong to blame bash for the fact that almost everything seems to be vulnerable. Those developers were wrong …

What you're missing here, is that bash wasn't the software with an error. It's like you use ice cubes for building a house, observing your house is melting and then blaming the dev…

Awesome. If you lower the tempo a bit, you can create pretty neat patterns.

Liking the idea, too bad it's simply an awful experience with all the HN traffic. I hit "Sign up with Facebook", then "Edit what CodeFights can see", and the counter had already be…

Great site, awesome project, good stuff. However, I found some kind of a "bug": http://i.imgur.com/elpJSS8.png At this point, you can't see what "kind" of F the first F is. They cl…

Too bad the site doesn't work on my phone at all . Xperia T using Dolphin Browser. Gives me all kinds of floating boxes and a useless progress spinner.

Finally, a guide i understand! Thanks!

Doesn't seem to work here. I'm in The Netherlands, if it helps. Clicking "watch now!" shows "Buffering video..." for a short while, but after that, it doesn't do anything. [edit] A…

Actually, you don't need to edit your server -at least with Lighttpd-. PHP automagically (or is this expected behaviour?) gets the string appended to /index.php for you! Check out …

...wow. That's pretty creepy. I'm Dutch myself and I knew that the AIVD tapped a lot, but mining data from forums?!

Please read the whole article. >The other feature in private beta is codenamed “Monaco.” It’s a cloud-based code editor that enables lightweight editing for Windows Azure websites.…

Am I the only one to notice this[1]? Looks pretty okay aside from that. [1] http://uploads.woutervdb.com/files/5283a1c42f8bc.png
