As someone who wrote Indie Windows software, it's not only the problem of supply vs. demand (I'd actually argue that there are a fair amount of people who are happy to pay Coda-lev…

Was this person in their late teens / early 20s? Many people who have latent schizophrenia end up initially triggering it around this age via LSD - these people would have most lik…

At the end of the day, Notepad++ can't get a "Notepad++" cert because "Notepad++" is not a Legal Entity (i.e. a corporation or living person). At least from a policy perspective, M…

This boilerplate exists in literally every site that hosts user-created content in some form and displays it to other people. If it didn't exist, the site would immediately be viol…

To an extent - many laptops and nearly all desktops don't have Thunderbolt at all. TB external GPUs are probably the main use-case for the technology today (people indeed do use th…

Check out Streamlabs OBS (SLOBS), its interface is much more streamlined than regular OBS, though they still have some difficulty walking the line between flexibility and simplicit…

I'm not disagreeing that it looks nicer, but trading FPS for clarity is definitely a good idea for live coding. I edited my previous comment, Twitch seems to have improved on this …

There's zero reason to run 60FPS for a text editor, turn it down to 15FPS and take that extra bandwidth and put it into quality - if you're worried about the YouTube quality after-…

I like it but having to fiddle with dependencies makes it harder to get started, maybe submodule them?

I think that the more likely reason is that many corporate security standards (think PCI compliance etc etc) are starting to blanket ban SHA-1, and it was cheaper to switch away fr…

I'd personally be super interested in that code, even if it wasn't usable out of the box (i.e. just dump what you have)

Facebook has a limited amount of mitigation that they can do because of the nature of WhatsApp. Trying to suppress Fake News is hard when you can't even read the content

They don't though. They get lured in by news of the "NSA spying on them", install this app, and later find out all of the caveats after they're committed and end up losing data. It…

That's Unfortunate, on Android you can restore your messages in Signal

But no actual content. Normal people don't care about this nonsense, they just want to talk to their friends, and I get to explain to them why the only way they can read their old …

Threema is a nightmare, if you switch from iOS to Android or vice-versa there is literally no way to migrate your data, and this fact is extremely obfuscated by the help docs which…

Yes they can, though one problems is that because NT paths are less restrictive than Win32 paths, you can create files / directories that you then have trouble doing things with us…

I wouldn't advocate going to a 100% cash-only system either in 2018, and neither would any other reasonable individual

It's bananas that people are downmodding you on this point. A financial system or security / commodity that literally has no recourse in the face of crime or even simple clerical e…

I don't find disk space worth optimizing for in 2018. For $2 you can buy a USB Thumbdrive that will hold every Electron app you'll ever use.

You're literally comparing two completely different apps. If you want to compare Apples to Apples, host 5 teams in Slack, in both Chromium and WKWebView
