   So if I understand this correctly: the community accepted those mysterious strings of unknown origin while it would’ve been trivial to replace them with different strings with a known origin, by providing another but known input to the hash

   I hope that one day in the future our children will look back to this the same way we look at our ancestors having slaves and burning witches: “how ethically primitive yet technologically advanced they were”.

   Exactly what I was wondering about as well. I have no prod experience with it, but e.g. Zalando’s operator has been solid for me.

   Looking at their history you’re likely right. Downvoted.

   I hope this remains just a curiosity that showcases a fascinatingly bad idea, rather than that anyone out there thinks that this is a good idea and start depending on it. Picture jumping into a codebase to quickly fix something, then stumbl

   You absolutely should, because context cancellation does not imply a closed channel and vice versa.

   Yes, and it’s called net/http.

   When would one use this approach versus a domain type [1]? How does it differ? [1]: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/domains.html

    If you want to show an illustrative key, why bother to redact something real if you could generate a throwaway key and have zero risk? What am I missing here? That someone could panic because it looks too real?

    Thank you. I found the thread and title very… cryptic.

    That’s quite true, although for routing / muxing I do tend to use a third party one. The numerous Go web frameworks are solely created for the glory of the authors.

    Pretty good article. One comment: it recommends zerolog for logging, but recently slog [1] has started to become part of the standard lib. I guess it’s the future. [1]: https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/exp/slog

    I wonder if my hypothetical sites “The Laughing Pterosaur” at thelaughingpterosaur.com or “OpenPGP Tips and Tricks” at openpgptipsandtricks.com get flagged as well.

    Could someone explain me why simultaneously with this an article about a whale-oiled machine [1] and a video of an exploding whale [2] are on the front page? Is it world whale day? [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3

    Hah, that brings back a lot of good memories. Also of the cold at the attic where my pc was. Got my copy via floppy disks, of course. It also reminded me of “TechHelp”, if my memory serves me well it could run as ISR and you could summon it

    Are you saying that you intuitively learned within such a short time of playing that e.g. pressing “←, →, ↓, В” or “→, →, ↑, ↑, Z” during the brief “Finish him!” makes Reptile perform a fatality? I find it hard to see the intuition here.

    I have to admit that I didn't check every second of the video, but given that the views on the extra screens are rotated +/- 90 degrees to the main view, shouldn't this also be their orientation in the physical setup, with yo

    What could possibly be the use for any sort of logic in such cable be, given that on both ends of it there’s already a computer as well?

    Can't be true since their status page says it's up (in the meantime though I'm browsing HN because I cannot use Slack since it's down).

    As dang mentioned, this has been around for a while. Yet every time I'm impressed how my phone, laptop, etc. can render this so smoothly. I guess I'm getting old.

    That means that you’re not safe to store known files your local dictator doesn’t like, isn’t it? Wouldn’t a sort of per-user salt allow the same functionality and give more confidentially?

    I’ve been wondering the same. At some point it could become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Sadly enough we cannot A/B test both scenarios: one with the (possible) mass hysteria and one where everyone stays calm and stays the course.

    How did it become normal in software to refer to describe your own work as beautiful?

    The advantage of 0xDEADBEEF would be that it reduces the chance of software starting to rely on that value, compared to zero, isn't it?
