Oh, that's pretty neat! I hadn't seen that before. Does dnslink work with browsers at all?

The nice thing about React Native is that you can always write native code if necessary. Though, I've used plenty of laggy native apps, so it's more about the software engineering behind it than the technology used. Additionally,

The issue with just sharing the /ipfs/ version instead of /ipns/ is that I can no longer update the site and I just made a small edit to clarify some stuff so that link is already out of date. As an alternative, I'd

Oh, the guy from support was fairly polite. I cut down his responses a bit for the sake of brevity but I'll clear that up. For example the initial exchange was: > Hey Tristan, thanks for reaching out to us about this. We really appr

Sorry if it's not a traditionally formatted Show HN. However, I did write an open source version of their app while doing this. https://github.com/d4l3k/opendropbike It's not quite production ready, but does

Hey HN, I spent a couple of days digging into the backend APIs for the new bike share on my university campus. Wasn't terribly impressed by what I found and here's a write up of the issues that I let them know about. You can also

This game is pretty much unplayable on Firefox on Linux due to how slow it is, even with an 8th gen i7 processor. Seems to run fine on Chrome, but having to switch is super obnoxious

To be fair, both MongoDB and Elasticsearch have had serious issues as pointed out via the Jepsen tests. https://aphyr.com/posts/317-jepsen-elasticsearch https://aphyr.com/posts/323-jepsen-elasticse

I'm not sure what it is, but every time I see simulated snow there's just something wrong about it. My brain just instinctively tells me "that's not snow" and suggests sand or something else. There's a definite

To be fair, the position of most governments is that Facebook isn't doing enough to censor fake news, hate speech, drug selling etc. I don't think having the government step in is going to fix any of these problems.

The SEC chairman likely doesn't do the actual legal work in bringing cases to court. Would you expect Jeff Bezos to know how to navigate his warehouses and ship packages out?

Since you're comparing facial recognition to guns and guns are regulated by law and have strict rules for use, perhaps facial recognition should as well? I think there should be a discussion about laws/regulations about facial rec

There are some bad JS websites, but most of them do have proper bookmarking since pretty much every web framework supports adding multiple pages including forward and back navigation. Browsers are also good enough to handle #links as well w

I feel like this will actually lower the barrier to entry. Currently there's no easy way to migrate from the big 4 websites to other providers. If you were a new startup competitor, having to only implement one import format seems to b

iCloud has a lot of similar data to what Office 365/GSuite has, so there's probably a lot that would be worth transfering.

The current "data models" appear to be Calendar, Contacts, Mail, Photos and Tasks. That fits pretty well with the data from Microsoft Office 365/GSuite. Interestingly enough it doesn't have a model for Tweets/Facebo

I assume it requires credentials for each platform, so it doesn't enable anything that they wouldn't already have access to if they could log in to every single one of your accounts.

MongoDB supports a combination of shards and replica sets. Each replica set uses a protocol similar to raft for strong consistency. The replicas are a lot better than just active-secondary mirroring https://docs.mongodb.com/

I've been using https://privacy.com/ to prevent this exact kind of thing.

MongoDB certainly was missing a lot of things when they first launched and were very hyped, but now pretty much everything you could want in a database is now in MongoDB. Multi-document transactions + strong consistency: https://
