Sure, it's not the license itself. But this does read like a problem. It's difficult to imagine that the authors of libbfd licensed it under GPLv3 because they wanted to ensure that no one would link it against perf. Maybe they do

I generally agree with your comment. But the point here is not this is cutting edge performance or anything, but rather that people on HN know how to set up this type of website. If you have any tips on how to get ~10k rps (or even a more r

You can still clear all cookies for a given site from within preferences. They're removing the listing of individual cookies for each site. So you can still remove all cookies from, e.g. Hacker News, but will no longer be able to see t

I wanted to say the opposite. Obviously, the author made a lot of unconventional design decisions, but they were all very well executed, and felt intuitive for me. For example, there were a couple of places where the graphs used shapes inst

Darklang's traces are not the same thing as a REPL. The user gets sent a normal 400 error, and the request trace is saved so that later, the developer can "replay" the request (on the live server, with full context). While Da

I'm a big fan of Javascript. It runs everywhere , is easy to write, is brutally flexible. I would never call it a "good" language. It is an abomination created by the dev teams at 4 different browser companies over the cours

Edit: Leaving this comment up, but my updated understanding is that Discord's policy change only effects bots >100 servers. So it's less applicable to the 'learning how to code' demographic. It seems to me like Discor

I’m all for simplicity, but I don’t understand why the author treats CGI as a beacon of simplicity. In the example of teaching students, I wouldn’t start with dynamic websites at all. You can introduce requests, pages, urls, etc., in the co

I’ve been using the native Apple notes for years now. At first it was convenience, but at some point I thought about it and decided there was no reason to switch. It has shockingly reliable sync (for Apple), and the right number of formatti

Since a couple of comments have made the comparison to Vivaldi, I thought I'd chime in, having used Vivaldi as my primary browser for 3-4 years now. Vivaldi's extreme customizability and rich feature sets makes it possible to mimi

No, you’re correct. I was oversimplifying in an attempt to ensure my comment didn’t devolve into a description of Gemini. For people interested in learning more, the Gemini project page is very readable. => https://gemini.cir

U+0007 represents the character for ‘make the bell on the teletypewriter ring.’ This isn’t practically used by hardly anyone today, but it remains a part of the Unicode standard and probably will forever. I don’t want to disparage Unicode,

I just did some tests and was unable to replicate your results. I'm on an i5 2019 Mac, and Vivaldi takes about 200ms to open a tab, with or without CSS filters. (200ms is bearable, but it is slower than I would like.) I have Hardware A

There are serious environmental concerns being raised about the amount of electricity being used to mine Bitcoin (see, e.g.: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27135776 ). My comment does assume that less electricity use i

Dark ( https://darklang.com ) is a very cool platform for building serverless backend APIs. The Dark language itself is not what you’re looking for, and I don’t know if I would trust it in production (it’s still in beta). But the

The thing that scares me here is that these keys were leaked May 2018, and it's becoming public knowledge now. Someone found certificates for those three VPN providers and posted them to 8chan with a message like "I don't rec
