Article says two explosions, but there were four, afaik.

Edit, a source, well, says 4 leaks: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-09-29/sweden-sa...

Not at all. Wireshark is for monitoring and analysis of network+hardware stuff, and WireGuard is for VPN stuff.

Once you get used to two panes, it's hard to go back.

From ~1990 to now (yikes, 30 years!), I've used these:

- Amiga: Directory Opus (DOpus)

- MSDOS: Norton Commander (NC)

- Windows: Total Commander

- Linux: Midnight Commander (mc)

- MacOS: Tux commander

Looking back at old Directory Opus screenshots tickles the nostalgic bone. I miss the colourcoded buttons.

I wonder if Directory Opus was the first 2-split navigator, but probably not.

Is this the same company that was at http://meta.io ?

Isn't one of Nokia/Microsoft's phones, currently on market, at 42 megapixels?

Capacitive touchscreens are the devil, ugh!

Janty has had something similar for a while, their Mid series. Hook it up to USB and you can program it in all sorts of ways, save/load profiles, change the puff LED colour to any RGB value, etc. It even has a joystick(!). http://www.janty.com/en/mid-series

Same! And I'm sure the reason it didn't take that long with getting good at it, was it hurts like hell when you do the 33% thing on a couple large projects, when you're on your own.

Been going at it for a couple years now with consulting and freelancing. I've finally gotten good at hitting my estimates. What worked for me was to keep strict time of everything (shoutout to toggl.com, love it!), so I could learn from my mistakes.

The trouble is now though, my competition seems to be underbidding me, but in reality they're providing those ~33% estimates they will never realistically keep, while I'm at ~100% estimates. Not really sure how to relay that to clients. One of the many reasons people like me need a salesperson in front, I guess.

There's a slight learning curve, but it's overall very nice to work with. Been making a living from it for a year now, so I'm rather comfortable with it.

You have to get in a kind of different mindset than with HTML, where you use div's for everything - here you create windows and views - but shouldn't take more than a couple days to get dangerous with it :)

There's a few quirks though - differences between iOS/Android for a small number of things, when coding, which can take up a lot of your time to troubleshoot.

An example of such an issue can be on Android, an imageView which you've applied rotation to, suddenly appears to be not rotated, if you put a backgroundColor on it as well as rounded corners. The fix here could be to use a regular view instead, and use a backgroundImage. Thankfully those kinds of weird things aren't as plentyful any longer, the company behind, Appcelerator, are in my experience pretty helpful and fast with bugfixes.

Maybe it's due to the phrasing of the question. I certainly prefer native (ok semi-close-ish native, I use Titanium), but I _will_ in the future prefer to be using HTML5, once it's ready.

HTML5 isn't ready yet in my opinion, as it takes too much effort (read: hours, money) and many workarounds to get a polished, fast and responsive app out of it to rival native. Sure it's awesome for fast prototyping, but it's still too hard to get "dat native feel".

I'm curious in how you put Titanium next to PhoneGap (Disclaimer: I may be reading too much into that, or not understanding your meaning - 2nd language etc.).

My experience with Titanium is that you code in js or Alloy, then when building and deploying, you get native code, with native elements and everything.

Comparing it to PhoneGap, which purely runs in a slowish WebView isn't quite fair I think. Or has your experience been different?

I define the line at webview = html, no webview = native.

Yep

Thanks for a much needed laugh. This one was my favorite: "Microsoft releases tool for humans"

Nice one, thanks!

Very, very informative, thank you. I too have been wondering about this exact thing - if it's worth the trouble in the end, to do server checks and whatnot. Seems it's not, in these cases :)

He's serious, and so am I. Trains go on rails, so a driverless car can go many places trains can't. Can't wait for it to become reality either. Like in Children of Men, but with time better.

I wouldn't mind doing that, but not what sure you mean with "wifi hotspot functionality"?

I do see your point, but wouldn't dropping your car keys also allow someone to steal your car?

Thus why cross-platform solutions are having tremendous growth. If web won't win out, it'll certainly be a cross-platform solution in the long run. My money's on web, if performance of those webviews catches up to native.

Just to add to your post, I don't remember ever seeing anyone getting a deal at 5%. It's usually more around the 20-30% range, and sometimes with equity stakes on top of that.

Ouch, could have as easily happened for me as well. As time passed I became more careless on hitting the proper holes, and I must've ended up trying quite a lot of different combinations. I'm very happy your experience didn't happen to me, I'd have been heartbroken.

Very good story, very good read. My story is with the good old breadbox - the Commodore 64. Things are very foggy about that period in my life, I was 8, so if anyone can fill in the blanks, that could be fun.

I didn't do much programming on the c64, but things got fun when I somehow acquired a book full of SYS codes. Apparently you could cheat if you loaded the game, did a soft-reset, so the game was still in memory, and entered a SYS code.

Doing a soft-reset required a cartridge though, like the later popular Action Replays for the Amiga. I didn't have access to these fabled cartridges, so I did the next best thing; A bent paper clip, short circuiting some random holes in the cartridge slot. This caused the desired reset, sometimes, allowing me to pass in the SYS codes, and RUN the game again, various cheats applied.

Today I wish I had access to this "bible" of SYS codes, if only for the nostalgia. It provided me with many hours of fun, and breathed new life into old games. All I remember is that the front of it had a sort of robotic character on it, and some purple colours.

I do believe the retail version of the Oculus Rift will come with two cameras on the front, and I've heard rumors of a depth camera as well. We'll see. Exciting times we live in, that's for sure.

Where do you get those valuations? Every site I know of is down.

From the article: "If the Internet felt a bit more sluggish for you over the last few days in Europe, this may be part of the reason why."

Hm, as opposed to normal days, when our Internet is just normal sluggish. Not that fond of that phrasing. And I must be bored to even comment on that.

Just to add data to those wondering, iOS 5 released 16 months ago (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_version_history)
