My interested-lay-person understanding: Previously it would read a chunk of file, then decode it, then apply filters, then run multi-threaded encoding, then write a chunk of file. Now it can read the next chunk of file while decoding a ch

Javascript was designed to be secure-by-default, and it takes a vast amount of effort to keep it that way Native apps were designed to be powerful-by-default, and the amount of effort to bolt security on after the fact is orders of magnitud

The Raphael boss fight music is quite possibly my favourite audio moment in 30 years of gaming ;) (Alas I’m not sure how to describe it without spoiling the surprise, since it is quite different to the rest of the soundtrack)

I’m curious if anybody else sees tailscale / headscale in the same way that I do — I was avoiding signing up to tailscale because I didn’t want to be locked into a proprietary platform, but since learning that headscale exists and is “

If E2EE is “the bare minimum”, how are there so many successful and thriving companies who don’t do it? And why are you even on HN, which doesn’t do it?

I have tried (specifically nginx, haproxy, varnish, squid, traefik, and a few others) - alas every setup had problems, but “expose my app to the internet, and have a cronjob to kill and restart it every 3 hours” has had the fewest problems

Is it safe to expose to the internet[0]? I’m still looking for a Rust web framework that supports eg timeouts for idle connections so that it doesn’t crash and burn when it runs out of sockets after a few hours of serving production traffic

And when they paid an additional several hundred million buying up tens of random science and tech news and D&D podcasts - was that to intentionally kill those podcasts too? Or were they just a necessary sacrifice in order to create a m

Spotify paid $200 million… to tie a podcaster to their sinking-ship podcast platform (and this plan only works if they know and intend for their platform to sink)… just to get him from a big spotlight to a small spotlight?

Are “it was a stupid decision to buy him” and “I don't get why people listen to him” supposed to be related statements? The business decision isn’t about your personal feelings, it’s about his objectively measurably enormous audience

Corporate developers are typically paid to solve corporate problems. Sometimes a company will hire a big-name OSS developer and tell them “continue maintaining your project in whatever way you think best”, but that’s by far the exception

I wonder which will happen first - AI evolves to work well at the high-end, or high-end humans retire and there’s nobody left in the low-to-mid end to fill their shoes…

I am curious why vouch for provenance rather than vouching for quality. In “mass-produced AI garbage” is the “AI” part a bigger problem than the “garbage” part?

If you have a sufficiently large amount of hype, day 1 sales can give you enough runway for a redemption arc. NMS and CP2077 were two of the most hyped games in history and they barely managed it though, so I’m not sure it applies to the ge

On the one hand, yes, there should be tests. On the other, `goto fail;` :P Also, adding braces from the start means that adding one new line of code is a one-line patch, instead of a four-line one - I do that for the same reason that I al

As a point of reference, Go was considered “safe to expose to the internet” in 2016, and I’d really like Rust to be in the same position: https://blog.cloudflare.com/exposing-go-on-the-internet/
