You don't use public networks? And when you connect to a non-public WiFi for the first time - how do you make sure it is the WiFi you think it is and not some dude who spun up a hotspot on their laptop?
62.
by TekMol 10mo ago
My question was about known networks. As far as I know, access points only identify via their SSID. Which is a string like "Starbucks". So there is no way to tell if it is the real Starbucks WiFi or a hotspot some dude started on

In the rare case (maybe once per month or so) where that happens, I start a script on my laptop that starts a webapp both the phone and the laptop can open in their browser and send text to each other. The overhead of starting it and typing

Strange, I don't need any of that. And when I hang out with people who ARE in Apple's ecosystem, to me it seems they struggle more to get things done than me. Why would I want a shared clipboard across multiple devices?

As someone using Linux to build web applications, I wonder what about the Apple ecosystem could make it worth to have such a Damocles’ sword hanging over me my whole life. Am I missing something? My current perspective is that not only am I

Everyone could offer a cloud-hosted saas product that involves bun, right? Why invest into a company that has the additional burden of developing bun, why not in a company that does only the hosting?

by TekMol 11mo ago
What is the business model behind open source projects like bun? How can a company "aquire" it and why does it do that? In the article they write about the early days We raised a $7 million seed round Why do investors inv

The hole was of simple enough shape that I could just design it manually. I used SCAD, which is kind of a programming language supported by some tools that can convert it to STL.

you accidentally knock a hole in your wall, it’s probably cheaper to buy a flatscreen TV and stick it in front of the hole What I recently did is that I 3D-printed an object with PLA that exactly fit the whole and just glu

Every instance would only get the messages that its members have subscribed to. How can any system be more efficient than this? A $5/month VM could ingest millions of messages per day. What's the problem?

by TekMol 11mo ago
Why is this so complicated? Can't we build a social network with a simple protocol: 1: Each user has a private key that they use to sign their messages. 2: Each user keeps a list of instances who announced that one of their members fol

I am using Git submodules for dependencies. My approach to a situation like this: 1: Clone gh.com/someone/LibBar to gh.com/me/LibBar 2: Fix the bug 3: Send pull request to someone 5: git submodule set-u

How about adding some image with a public http logger url like https://ih879.requestcatcher.com/test to each of the nonsense pages, so we can see an endless flood of funny requests at https://ih879.requestcatcher

My takeaway: Do not install apps. Use websites. Apps have way too much permissions, even when they have "no permissions".

I'm using Debian with the Plasma desktop, so I have a taskbar. Will this impact me?

I guess for most people the standard is to install things from NPM "things" that run in the browser? replace 'lit' with something like this: https://unpkg.com/lit@3.3.1/index.js?mo

The example does not use an importmap attribute. Overall, the example does not seem like something that is supposed to run directly in the browser without some kind of intermediate step. That is why I asked what the minimal number of steps

Not with paths like 'lit' that is used here.

I'm all for a lightweight approach to software development. But I don't understand the concept here. Looking at the first example: First I had to switch it from TS to JS. As I don't consider something that needs compilation b

Votes are crucial. HN goes to great lengths to prevent votes that do not stem from real user intent. See this post for example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22761897 Quotes: "Voting ring detection has been one

Nope, it would not have been prevented by CORS. CORS prevents reading from a resource, not from sending the request. If you find that surprising, think about that the JS could also have for example created a form with the vote page as the t

by TekMol 1y ago
The same would have worked with a POST endpoint. The story url only would have to point to a web page that creates the upvote post request via JS.
85.
by TekMol 1y ago
So why is there no problem with vote/flag/vouche on HN being GET endpoints?
86.
by TekMol 1y ago
If you rely on the HTTP method to authenticate users to mutate data, you are completely lost. Bots and humans can send any method they like. It's just a string in the request. Use cookies and auth params like HN does for the upvote lin

Can you give an example of an endpoint where you would prefer a "RESTful API endpoint"?

by TekMol 1y ago
You know what type of API I like best? /draw_point?x=7&y=20&r=255&g=0&b=0 /get_point?x=7&y=20 /delete_point?x=7&y=20 Because that is the easiest to implement, the easiest to write, the

No matter if the LLM is on the same machine or elsewhere, why would you need WASM to talk to it and not just JS?
