It makes a bit of sense. Some scammers target the extremely naive, who don’t even know there are scams. Those scammers might skip such victims to save time. These days, when scamming is so automated I doubt it makes a difference.

The race detector is an invaluable complement to a language like Go that lacks compile time safety. It meaningfully increases the confidence in code and is anecdotally both good at finding races while also giving straightforward error infor

No shit. Plus 23 and me is in deep financial trouble last I heard. Someone out there is drooling over that data set. I know otherwise smart people (in the analytical sense) who paid money to hand over their most sensitive biometrics to the

Sounds right. It was just an example, and it probably should go off the list.

Super interesting. I can recognize this behavior with people playing multiplayer games. When there are no stakes, and everything is a game, people mess around – especially when they’re bored. If it’s just a game, who cares? People with extr

Yes. It’s slightly amusing seeing hacker news bringing the magnifying glass trying to look for which JavaScript framework to blame when the boogeyman is standing right in front of them: it was meant to be this way, largely. It’s a pure fu

Online polling was broken by 4chan like 15 years ago (that’s how we got Schooly Mc Schoolface and other hilarious things). Much more sophisticated activity than anonymous polling, like “political temperature” on social media, has also bee

Yes, but not against deadlocks, leaks and atomic ref count locking overhead etc. Depending on how you write your code, (and the runtime if you’re using async) you usually need to abandon a certain subset of the key selling points of Rust (e

I am also very curious to know more. I’m sure the NATS maintainers are as well. Their architecture is extremely intuitive and appealing to me, so I wonder where things went south. Nats has a lot of tunable parameters with Jetstream. For ins

That’s insane, and news worthy. Imagine non-techies just trying to go about their day and getting that. But hold on a sec. Is this verified by others? The guy in the video cuts to a screenshot, which doesn’t show the resulting url or how he

If it’s a MacBook you can get Ethernet - USB-C adapters for dirt cheap. Otherwise, you have to move closer to the router and/or get a new router/wifi card if it’s running old 2g stuff for instance. But again, WiFi is headache - es

Good Q. I don’t think so? But you could tune SQLite to not wait for disk writes and have a larger memory use, which would make it extremely fast for memory-sized data sets. If you’re not intend on using disk at all, then not too much point

Haha that’s currently a way to explain to people who are used to hosting/sync based cloud solutions that anything that is (a) local p2p and (b) doesn’t need to upload-before-download is much faster. It’s also faster than WebRTC based

I think SQLite is a probably a better approach than manually snapshotting. How often to snapshot? You will get significantly less data loss and architecturally very similar operational simplicity. You can also handle disk sized data sets vs

Payload lets you drag and drop directories and lists of files. It also handles gracefully resuming after network errors. No mobile support yet but since Tauri is rolling it out, it’ll be easier to add it as soon as I can make time. https:&

You can also send secret messages to future crypto analysts: just encrypt your message with a random key and throw it away. Guaranteed to be delayed until the chosen primitives are broken.

Agreed. For the open core model to work in practice, there needs to be clarity in what’s open and what’s off the table. The problem is that open core appears to be, most of the time, not a serious commitment. At least I don’t trust “self-ho

Look at the timestamps. It’s months of complete silence, which is not a great sign from a saas. It was clear that the feature was popular. Another thing that annoys me to no end is locking threads because it’s “heated”. Just accept the grie

Yes, but the concerning thing is that this behavior you’d expect from Oracle or similar. The App Store, in-app payments etc is not bad – Apple would seem to be able to compete fairly and still win a big slice of the cake – higher prices but

IIUC this is a deliberate act of aggression by Apple - which is important to note. Apple already has regional accounts, so the infrastructure for this is in place already, for preexisting reasons. My Apple ID is still within US after months
