All it takes is going to one random website, that embeds ads, that embed an exploit kit. Not a new thing, we had this happen even with popular news sites. So yeah, it is more likely than you think.

I think in most cases the browser is far more relevant than the OS.

EASTL is great, but we call it UBSTL for a reason :D

Magic will be gone when there is no mass adoption due to bad UX. And UX is not that good right now.

Oh, but Matrix is much more than an instant messenger. It's a replicated database with ACLs.

It could theoretically fail in the IM space and still succeed in the data sharing space. For instance, you could build an Activitypub-like ecosystem on top of it.

THIS is one of the main reasons that I'm such a fan of the matrix protocol. Yes, the chat use case is by far - for now - the most popular direction...but i can envision many other use cases (not just, say, for IoT devices)!

This. They really need to invest in a better UX above anything else right now, imo.

Really? I've been extremely happy with Element.

For what its worth im quite content with Samsung/HP printer i got. Basic thing, no bells and whistles apart of one retarded button that nobody will use. Granted i knew story behind when buying..

> - Nim: C/C++ interop is second to none.

This is very wrong.

There is perfect c interop - you can import c functions using {.importc.} pragma.

C++ interop is best i have seen so far. You can use c++ template types! Here is the sample: https://github.com/3dicc/Urhonimo/blob/master/modules/contai... Of course it is not perfect. For example if you would like to override c++ method you will have to write a bit of c++ code using {.emit.} pragma. I do not know a single language that could map c++ template types into it's own generic types like nim can.

"second to none" means "best" ("there is no one it is second to, thus it is first")

TIL. Not native english-speaker. My bad.

You made my point better though! Nim interop is awesome.

D's C++ interop looks better at a glance.

With a simple extern(C++) you can use templates, classes and vtable's are matched up to single inheritance. There is also some experimental work on catching C++ exceptions but I've never tried to use it.

Also: COM support. This can be incredibly useful for interop.

Specially since Windows has gone full COM for all new major APIs.

"second to none" means "the best".

120/year is way too much for receiving spam. They are overcharging so much its not even funny.

And no SMTP/IMAP for free accounts. Free plan is unusable.

Why would such someone would wave flag of security making it the biggest selling point and then go with questionable practices?

Telegram being secure or not is a separate question.

Secure messaging is hard, most people when producing secure messaging will produce poor secure messaging - it doesn't mean they've been compromised by a government.

Yes but Telegram continues to avoid fixing flaws that have been pointed out by cryptographers.

It's one thing to get some security wrong because its "hard." It's another to not fix those problems when people explain how and why you did something wrong.

I guess they will fix those theoretical flaws when someone make real exploit?

RSA encryption is theoretically breakable by quantum computers, but people still use it and gonna be using it until someone break it.

If they ban secure software it surely will work as terrorists are law-abiding citizens. Right?
