If you've read the article, you would have noticed that he mentions he's a paid user when he contacts support.

C#/.Net has so many advantages over Java (and lots of cons too), and you choose "unsigned integers"?

"WhatsSpy Public is an web-oriented application that tracks every move of whoever you like to follow" is a stretch. When I read this clickbait headline I thought it could track GPS location, but the actual privacy leak is much less scary:

- Online/Offline status (even with privacy options set to "nobody")

- Profile pictures

- Privacy settings

- Status messages

GitBox[1] which is a pretty web UI for Gists

The article is a little short on technical details, will only the Gtalk client be retired, or the XMPP interface (ie Adium) too?

I just discovered yesterday that I seem to have lost lots of Arq backups. I downgraded from Yosemite to Mavericks and the only backups Arq shows me are from after the downgrade.

I'll dive into this this weekend, I _really_ hope I didn't lose the actual files, just the indexes.

I have an Asus RTN66U "Dark Knight" and it works wonderfully in about half of my ~1500 sq. ft. apartment, but shitty in the other half. I'm convinced a single router won't be enough.

That's the feature I'm missing mostly from ABP: the "whitelist this site" quick toggle

This is a very specific corner case, which doesn't justify the default settings

The official XPI are here: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases

Use FoxyProxy and create rules that "whitelist" the sites you're working on

That's a very important question. Are we Peerio's customers or products?

Instantly transferring money around the world with near zero fees is a great example.

I used something similar until 2011 or so.

If the site's password is always a function of the master password and the site URL, what do you do when a site was breached and you need to change its password? What if the site changes URL (eg twttr.com became twitter.com)?

Many sites avoid going all https because of the - sometimes alleged, sometimes real - performance loss.

I'm devastated that it doesn't (and apparently, never will) work with Lollipop.

"Unavailable in your country" (Brazil)

In this case, the metadata (who is talking to who, and when) may be more valuable than the messages' contents.

This is really huge, WhatsApp has incredible market penetration in lots of countries. Almost every smartphone user in Brazil uses WhatsApp, and businesses of all kinds (eg. radio stations, pizza deliveries and drug stores) have a WhatsApp number for connecting with their customers.

I also have TextSecure and Telegram installed but almost none of my friends do, and telling non-techie people to install another IM app because it's more secure then WhatsApp is futile.

I'm curious to why WhatsApp is not advertising this collaboration.

Also, I wonder if there's some visual indication that end-to-end encryption is enabled for a given contact/conversation like the padlock icon in TextSecure (which can fallback to SMS).

I had already regretted upgrading to Yosemite (this thing is ugly), but this is the last drop: I'm going back to Mavericks.

OTOH, the alternative to ad-supported content is paying directly for the content you want to read, which is even worse from a privacy POV because publishers will know exactly who you are instead of only knowing which "demographic" you belong to.

Except for pass-by-value and pass-by-reference. Java's model of always passing a reference value makes the mental model around references so much simpler.

I'm surprised Microsoft hasn't bought Xamarin yet. Mono being a first-class citizen (with an appropriate license) would do wonders to attract Java and non-MS developers to .Net - myself included.

Why not allow people to choose where they want to post "from" instead?

Encryption avoids a lot of problems, but this has _nothing_ to do with encryption

Just keep in mind that if you're not paying, you're the product, not the customer.

Dropbox's strength is the simple and consistent GUI that's available in all platforms (desktop, mobile and web). I've moved to SpiderOak and it works perfectly for me, but it's not a UI I would recommend to my mother.

I wrote an email to the HPC-SSH team and got the following response:

> I'm at a conference this week so I'll make the license more clear next week in the repo. Basically, it's a very lax bsd style license. Maintain attribution and you can do as you like with it. However, please understand that when incorporated into OpenSSH the OpenSSH license takes precedence.

> Also out had been submitted some years ago but there was resistance to the patch for non technical reasons so I've home my own way on it.

Bitbucket's lack of a code search feature is a serious disadvantage, specially for large organizations. The enhancement request has turned into a ranting thread[1]

Did you really name a variable "X"?
