What are your thoughts on Vercel? I'm using it to host a small proxy server but I don't know what the limits are on a free account. I want to be able to preserve internal state but have no idea how or even if such a feature is sup

Interesting though it involves recompiling the web browser. I have encountered this issue on many websites and my response is to stream the website through a proxy server which can then save the content (both outgoing and incoming) to the l

LOL. How many bytes of CSS though? Have you tried something like the following? <iframe src=" https://news.ycombinator.com"></iframe>

Good for Reddit. These piracy lawsuits are out of control. The same culprits seem to show up every time (I guess their crappy movies didn't make enough money): The film companies seeking Reddit users' identities include After II M

Maybe it's different when working with a team but I've never thrown away code. It's not that I'm so smart that I get it right the first time but there's usually a lot of little bits of housekeeping code that goes al

This is hilarious: We provide friendly, patient robots that talk to these rude telemarketers for you. They love to chit-chat, and will often keep nasty callers engaged for several minutes. By keeping the bad guys busy, you keep them from pe

45 years in space and still working. That is just awe inspiring. Maybe it will be found and refitted by an alien civilization (see Star Trek: The Movie).

I would be very curious to look at your 6-bit instruction set. 64 instructions spread across how many general-purpose registers? Maybe 4 at the most plus you may need specialized instructions for process control and housekeeping tasks.

A tool for scraping websites. Not intended for parasitic web scraping but could probably be used that way. My interest is in stealing video links from sites that try to hide them. I like playing movies and other content on a video player th

My take: UFOs might be real (some of them) but it's the aliens trolling us for whatever reason (soft reveal?). The UFOs are unmanned drones. This isn't Star Trek. Our atmosphere is not friendly to aliens so they're not visiti

Over-reliance on an exploitive medical system has led to chronic conditions and a mostly unhealthy population. Not that losing medical coverage is a good thing but it might force us to reconsider what we've been doing.

The article concludes with an unfinished thought: The future of the web should be rooted in a personal ownership of one's data. Yeah, okay. How does that equate with "the web is imploding"? It's not imploding. The Intern

Bookmarked. I have a serverless app on Vercel but it doesn't have an always-on capability. It fires up when called and then goes away if there is no usage after 15 minutes or so. I haven't looked into it deeply enough to know whet

Crappy CSS. Zooming out doesn't help either.

I don't know about that. I have a few successes under my belt where I've outperformed a team. For example, delivering a solution in two months compared to a team of four failing to deliver anything at all in a year. Then there are

Some companies have a policy of not borrowing open-source software that fails to specify a license. I guess this is to avoid potential liability for whatever reason. I contribute to this mayhem personally by not picking a license for my ope

The cycle of supply and demand. Give it time. As ipv6 adoption increases, the cost of ipv4 will drop. Then ipv4 will become more attractive thus slowing the adoption of ipv6. Rinse and repeat. This can go on for a long time.

This is why we can't have nice things. The tech is easy to build but there are some people who will gladly tear it all down if they detect even the slightest hint of impropriety. Bluesky is doomed if they try to please everyone.

On the positive side, lower productivity boosts employment. It has always been well understood that a few good programmers, properly motivated, can potentially outperform a team of 100. It is perhaps a good thing that companies continue to

Who is surprised by this? Money games won't save the planet. What we really need is more pollution. If we block out the sun with lots of greasy smoke then that should cool the planet. Unless the climate is actually cooling (in which ca

I hope he goes ahead with the lawsuit. Would be interesting to have those researchers explain to the court the exact meaning of the phrase "hate speech". Is it really hate speech or simply speech they don't like? They should

Aaaand...the question of demographics predictably comes up. I won't venture my own opinion on that aspect of the discussion but I will say that IQ tests carry a significant cultural bias. It's unavoidable. I don't know if the
