I generally just use the thumbnail to quickly manually filter shorts. If the thumbnail is vertical it is 99% a short. A few channels I subscribe to make interesting shorts so I keep them. But for everyone one else the delete key is very fas

Just paste the channel URL until your reader and it should find the feed automatically. YouTube has the proper discovery metadata set up.

From what I have seen about published seeding rules most trackers as switching to pretty reasonable rules. Typically the only major sin is not seeding for a minimum length of time (usually a few days). Then there are ratio rules but these a

Personally I don't think I would have used the phrase "parse don't validate" for something like a username. It isn't clear to me what it would mean exactly. I generally only thing of this principle for data that has

Parse don't validate means that if you want a function that converts an IP address string to a struct IpAddress{ address: string } you don't validate that the input string is a valid IP address then return a struct with that strin

Put a cache in front of it? Serving a shitton of files is sort of a solved problem. For huge bursts of a single piece of content you just need request coalescing and a few layers of fanout. If you know what content you can even pre-warm the

I was curious what the "per file" overhead was. Time comes out to 93.6 µs/file or 10 684 files/s created. % b 26*3600*1000*1000/1000000000 93.60000000000000000000 Space comes out to 296 bytes per file.

The fact is that I don't think it is well specified. My feed reader will update the URL if the ending feed has a self URL that points at itself. But I don't think that is very common. In theory a permanent redirect should also be

For something as simple as cat that may work fine. But that message actually fails to say why it failed. It just gives you a fact that is presumably related to the exit code. In fact it doesn't even say it failed at all!, if your shell

In most cases `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: ` is actually a decent policy. It importantly blocks cross-site credentials. So as long as your API has any* authentication it should prevent it. The real mistake is mirroring the Origin header

Maybe we could ban exclusive licensing. Why should Netflix be able to pay $$$ for a show and block other services from buying access? Instead pass a law that if Netflix buys for X then any other service can also license for X. There will de

Yeah, it does seem that the problem starts with the actual content owners who want to make bug money by selling exclusive licenses or running their own streaming service. Netflix then gets stuck with no reasonable way to license all of the

Not to mention Aphyr spent lots of (expensive) time on the other side. I think Anthem should have to compensate him for all the time that he had to waste.

I like the core idea, but I fail to see why this is a good solution. IIUC the workflow is: 1. Run a Lockbox server 2. Define the API request in automation tool as a webhook. 3. Proxy it via lockbox to add auth. All this really does it allow

I wouldn't use the word "blockchain" as that is primarily a tool for generating consensus. Macaroons are each independent and can be "forked" freely. So while I agree that the data structure itself is very similar t

It is also worth noting that most IPFS peers will cache content for some period of time even if not explicitly pinned. So if you site hits the top of Hacker News (and everyone was using a native IPFS browser) you would suddenly have thousan

I would expect so simply because browsers are fairly hardened pieces of software. Adobe Acrobat is decently hardened but it seems to be far behind browsers. It is worth noting that Chromium and later Firefox both added PDF viewers that live
