I've been running the (relatively) well known EdgeRouter-X (aka ERX) + Unifi AC Lite setup for a couple of years at this point and I haven't had any issues with it. The ERX is tiny, sips power and can route traffic with QoS turned

While I agree that Node's ecosystem is not the best, it's what we have in the frontend world. If you're working on a Node-based service or React app, you already have to deal with Node and its package ecosystem. Adding a coup

Maybe, but the main advantage of `zx` (at least for me) is that I don't have to manage another language environment. I can keep everything contained within Node :)

I think they could replace XSRF tokens, but until all major browsers support the headers (Safari 11 seems to be missing support, see other comments) you can't really block requests that don't have the new Sec-Fetch-* headers.

Yep, I don't know why my first thought was that malicious actors could just bypass this by using external HTTP clients (like curl) when in fact this spec is meant to augment CORS: browsers _will_ send these headers to the server and th

Reading the documentation on MDN[1] it looks like it sends more data than just the Origin of the request. Metadata headers include if the user initiated the request (e.g. navigation or click events?) and how the data is meant to be used (e.

The two are not mutually exclusive. You can still run a Matrix server (or pay Element for one) and donate a few $ to Signal. Competition is good.

Gosh, this brings back sooo many good memories. If you haven't played it yet, you must! It is an excellent game, with superbly simple gameplay and excellent music!

Very interesting article! I wonder how compound requests scale as body size increases. Would we see individual HTTP2 requests become faster after items become "large enough"?

A work colleague recommended this alternative Slack client https://cancel.fm/ripcord/ (I'm not affiliated with this project in any way, just thought the HN audience might find it useful)

off topic, but gosh, Bloomberg you have the worst charts I have ever seen on the web! The first chart in the article is particularly bad: there are no labels! It maps two data sources (unlabelled other than one being red and the other blue!

I hit this bug yesterday on my laptop (16GB of RAM / 1GB of swap) with 2 instances of Firefox (about 60 tabs), Slack, Insomnia (Electron-based Postman clone) and a couple of `node` processes watching and transpiling.. stuff. `kswapd0`

LinkedIn is the worst. Starting a trial through the mobile app requires only a couple of clicks. Trying to cancel that trial? Haha! Good luck! There's no way to do it through the mobile app. I had to open the website, login there as w

So what are you (the ESLint team) going to do to ensure this is not going to happen again in the future? At the very least you should require that all ESLint members with rights to publish ESLint packages have 2FA enabled on their npm accou

At what point does this become a problem? They're using the naturally cool sea water to regulate the temperature in the container, but that heat needs to go somewhere... it heats the water. If this becomes a popular alternative to cla

I'm on 59.0.1 (64-bit) for Ubuntu Artful (from the official repos). This is quite an odd bug, thanks for the link (and the link from the sibling comment). I'll keep an eye on the bug reports :)

Installed it from the website, logged-in with my Firefox account and got redirected to allizom.org ("Mozilla" spelled backwards!) which has an untrusted certificate. Not a great first experience :(

It is, but the point of the project wasn't to create yet-another-markdown-editor, it was so I could play around with WebRTC and get two browsers talking to each other directly. I used Markdown just so documents wouldn't be plain t
