Meet the backup browser.

We’ve put together a brand new way to restore your files within a backup. The new backup browser features individual file restores and file previews along with some behind-the-scenes magic to make everything generally faster. Now, you can preview a file to make sure it’s the one you need before you restore it.

Browse your files

Even if you don’t need to restore anything, the backup browser is a pretty cool way to dig through some of your WordPress files and check them out. It has text file, image, and video previews, so it’s super easy for you to find and restore that awesome .gif your editor deleted.

Restore one file at a time

Now, when you click “View Backup,” you can either restore or download files instead of having to download or restore the entire backup. Pretty handy, right?

Simperium is a cross platform framework that allows you to seamlessly sync data through multiple devices.

Tic Tac Toe is one of the simplest games you can possibly think of: two players take turns to place a piece (either a cross or a circle) on a 3×3 matrix. The first player that succeeds in placing three marks in either a horizontal, vertical, diagonal or antidiagonal wins the game.

We have built a single-device Tic Tac Toe game for iOS: source code available here. In this tutorial we’ll be learning how to integrate the Simperium framework, and how to enable multi-device data synchronization without writing a single line of backend code.

Our approach to implement the data model will be straight forward. We will maintain two collections:

Players:

Each player will have a unique ID, and will make sure that as long as the app is active, its uniqueID will be present…

Twitter went mad last week because somebody had transferred almost $150m in a single Bitcoin transaction. This tweet was typical:

There was much comment about how expensive or difficult this would have been in the regular banking system – and this could well be true.  But it also highlighted another point: in my expecience, almost nobody actually understands how payment systems work.  That is: if you “wire” funds to a supplier or “make a payment” to a friend, how does the money get from your account to theirs? 

In this article, I hope to change this situation by giving a very simple, but hopefully not oversimplified, survey of the landscape.

First, let’s establish some common ground

Perhaps the most important thing we need to realise about bank deposits is that they are liabilities…

Pretty amazing.

Grab a paper bag, breathe into it and calm your ass down. You’re hyperventilating because you ain’t never seen a deal like this before. Now collect yourself, then keep reading this incredible description that barely serves to do justice to my 2010 Felt Gridlock 3 speed fixed gear bike. Yes 3 SPEED FIXED GEAR. Also known as the greatest bike the city has ever had the privilege of existing around.

What makes this bike so much better than every other bike that has ever been pedaled? Glad you asked. It starts with the paint scheme. It looks like Iron Man if Iron Man were a bike. That’s bold, son. Curb appeal. It’s probably also why some piece of trash stole the front tire that originally came with this beauty. Why didn’t he steal the whole bike? Because he knew…
