This would likely mean America canceling copyright for works in that country as well. I'm OK with that. Destroy copyright.

Food and clothing are often 5-10x cheaper in those countries compared to what people pay in America.

People mean Microsoft, the corporation, as a policy. Not every employee there literally.

The thing about archives is you either parse them now or parse them later. With how much JS and other crap is served in modern social media frontends, I'm not sure WARC is the best format for archiving from them.

Use a SQLite3 database. Have a table for the posts (or any other appropriate schema, depending on what metadata you have). Using SQLite3 has the advantage of future flexibility (new/different tables and schema as needed, full-text sear

There are plenty of good enough ways: * For lossless compression of generic data, gzip or zstd. * For text, documentation, and information without fancy formatting, markdown, which is effectively a plain-text superset. * For small datasets,

Hey HN! Inspired by platforms like pico.sh and exe.dev, we launched a service where you can instantly create GPU instances over SSH. The disk is persistent and the commonly used tools are installed by default so you don't waste time (a

It's regular practice to block arbitrary websites in EU countries. From Spain to Germany to Italy, DNS blocks are common. Naturally "rightsholders" abuse this often.

Users shouldn't be running random executables. Wine is not a sandbox!

For these kinds of services, I think the main value would be UX improvements, such as offering an environment preconfigured with a certain set of tools (e.g. nmap, tmux, curl, etc.) and other defaults. SSH in, and don't deal with a web

The article claims iOS/macOS is likely not vulnerable. I'm not sure about Windows.

I've done this before. There are valid reasons to do this, especially if you're too lazy to do a full Linux port of an application but are still willing to implement some workarounds.

They do, on paper, but many countries hardly enforce them. For example, the EU has more caveats to its section-1201-style insanity; China simply doesn't care at all. These copyright treaties are useless in practice and harmful because

I don't think people realize how important incremental improvements are. Before open-source software took off, everyone either licensed a proprietary library or invented an ad-hoc solution. If the proprietary library was discontinued,

The truth is that the EU loves copyright and censorship just as much as the US does. The only difference is the branding and who pushes for it.

I wouldn't be surprised if the government started revoking their copyrights for that. > But they can't do- You can just do things as long as no one physically stops you. I think that's been the theme of 2025.

Video game companies are a special case (even for programmers). They work people to the bone for lower pay because people are passionate about video games, but the common denominator there is gamers wanting to get into the industry—not bein

A good artist is just as expensive as a good programmer. Commissioning art is expensive. Outsourcing to third world countries is cheaper (just like programming!).
