My friend created an iPhone app that controls a set of MCP servers that will control all the smart things in his house. Completely vibe coded. The servers are in Python, which he can read but not really write, and the app is in Swift, whi

It's probably the least secure of the ones I mentioned, yes. But even so, it massively increases the search space for a dictionary attack because the attacker doesn't know which algorithm was applied first. But yes, at the end of

Or, you do the equivalent of adding a hash, and apply mosaic to it twice, with two slightly different size regions. Or apply both mosaic and swirl in random order. Or put a piece of random text over it before you mosaic it. The main point

This is awesome, but my one suggestion is to abbreviate Thursday as "R" instead of "T" to avoid confusion with Tuesday. This is how almost all calendars do it when there is only one letter for the day, so it's prett

It sounds like it did exactly what it was supposed to do -- reject the bad input. Looks like an INFO to me.

I feel like it's more nuanced than OP writes. Presumably every log line comes from something like a try/catch. An edge case was identified, and the code did something differently. Did it do what it was supposed to do, but in a d

No it's different. Idempotent would mean that it can be replayed with no effect. What I'm saying is that this guarantees exactly once execution, taking advantage of the database transactions that make multiple data updates idemp

by jedberg 10mo ago
Yes of course. External calls still need to be idempotent. But the point is some frameworks allow you to make some, or even most, of your work safe for durable execution by default.

> The problem with durable execution is that your entire workflow still needs to be idempotent. Yes, but what that means depends on your durability framework. For example, the one that my company makes can use the same database for both

Aka "the titles when people post these on reddit". Now you know why HN has the "no editorializing" rule. :)

If you aren't logged in you get a cached version from the CDN/cache. Reddit works the same way.

FWIW, if you have HBOMax, you can watch what is now, sadly, his final film, Spinal Tap 2. It just arrived there yesterday. (They also just got the original if you want to watch it again)

The Claude MD is like the documentation you hand to a new engineer on your team that explains details about your code that they wouldn't otherwise know. It's not bad to need one.

I have a friend attempting to solve this. He's basically creating oauth for age verification. You sign up with his service and verify your age. After that it works similarly to oauth, but instead of return your identity, it just r

The coupling is more with cost than drive train, but consumers most likely to pay extra for autonomy are the same ones willing to pay extra for electric. Which is why you see it on the Mercedes ICE vehicle. Because it's a high cost ve
