The article specifically mentions the need for users to re-enter their username and password as a downside of short-lived sessions, so I think the author's definition of "session" extends as long as the refresh token lasts. I

Thanks for the response, I'm still curious about the details of the subindexing and how that scales. I'll be keeping an eye out for the release!

Kinda disappointed by the simulation, where are all the viral posts? I've been digging around for a while and haven't found any posts with more than 20 faves. The accounts I've found with ~1 million followers have little to n

The Switch didn't change the meaning of A and B; the OS and all first-party Nintendo games that I've seen use A=confirm and B=cancel, which has been the case for a long time. There are some games I've played on the Switch tha

So forks are selected by users, via whoever gets the most stamps. As a user I'd have to: 1. Seek out forks of the app that I use and try them out. 2. Check to make sure there aren't any bugs introduced in the fork. 3. Check to mak

CSS is needed because this app isn't using HTML forms to send the data. That would be easier, but part of the magic here is that in addition to no JavaScript, the page also never reloads. The readme explains how the CSS :active selecto

Pretty cool! I would consider changing your URL patterns though. It's not ideal to change them after launch, but it will be harder to change them a year from now if/when you run into issues. 1. Using '#' in URLs is not g

LGPL is more business friendly than GPL; it's literally "lesser" GPL. You can use LGPL in commercial, closed-source projects as long as you keep the LGPL code in a separate dynamically linked library, e.g. a DLL, and provide

I was also thinking of Amazon Fresh delivery. It looks like the title of this article is actually "Amazon’s cashierless stores: artificial intelligence or major deception?", so the HN title should probably be updated to that.

Most of these patent numbers seem to be incorrect; all the numbers except for the first one seem to point to unrelated patents. I was curious about the email one, but "7,536,726" points to a different Microsoft patent (also expire

IMO the main difference is that for ~98% of people writing code, subclasses actually are very cheap. The performance losses (11 cycles per iteration?) aren't enough to dissuade me from organizing my code cleanly.

"Don't make tons of RPCs" is a totally separate issue from "don't make subclasses because virtual methods cost a few extra cycles".

I'm skeptical about ML being a "2.0" when we'll never stop using the 1.0 version altogether. But maybe he means it in the Python 2 -> 3 sense, where there's no real expectation that the older version will ever st

+1 for Lit. It seems like they're mostly recommending that you use TypeScript and a build system, but you can 100% still just pull the library from a CDN with native JS modules [0]. It leans into a lot of the web components spec so the

This could be cool if they source articles and blog posts from random places across the web, like StumbleUpon but with the modern ML that "works scarily well". Could be great for discoverability of smaller sites. Hopefully at some

The policy states "content that contains links of usernames" will be subject to removal. I think the "cross-posting" that the article is referring to is e.g. downloading a TikTok to reupload it to Twitter, or screenshott

By implementations I mean the general infrastructure for enforcing country-specific laws locally, but not as a general rule of Twitter. Non-motivated non-adversaries already defeat these systems by accident, which I assume are mostly based

People are gushing because it's a 3D animation with holographic effects, which is pretty surprising to be able to achieve for a primarily-2D layout language. I've never seen something this seamless and realistic built in flash.

It's been a couple years since I did mobile dev, but in my experience you don't get to reason much with Apple's reviewers either, but you can change something minor, re-submit, and hope you get a different, better reviewer.

I'm a big advocate for PWAs, but this is a backend data issue. American Airlines isn't forcing app stores to take down the app, they're adding anti-scraping measures to prevent the app's backend from being able to reques

The reason I don't use Gab isn't "not enough censorship", it's because none of the people I want to talk to are on there. I use Twitter because the people I like are on there. They often get banned for dumb reasons,

Many social media sites don't allow you to register using e.g. Google Voice or Twilio phone numbers, since you can get those for free and/or in bulk, so they assume they're used for spam or ban evasion. I've seen this on
