Wasn't their public reaction as it was due to liability concerns? i.e. if they admitted that something was wrong with their chips, they may have gotten into significant legal / financial trouble?

I believe it is quite clear to many of us familiar with the space that Microsoft is not some small-time backer of the Linux Foundation and other, related organizations. I certainly did not feel the least bit of an attempt to downplay MS&#x2

Hi HN friends, I've built a little tool [1] that makes it easy to create screenshots and PDFs of your own websites/webapps. It's a use case I've found in a friend's web project, decided to SaaS-ify it for them in or

fly.io is aimed at very different use cases. It is essentially a programmable CDN, and priced like a CDN, too ($0.10/GB traffic). You would not enjoy the bill for trying to serve all of your video content through it, and you also don&#

Vimeo is not an appropriate solution for the use cases that I have in mind. I don't think Vimeo would be fine with serving dozens of TBs of traffic for you, or storing many TBs of video content. Vimeo is aimed at professionals and comp

Hetzner for storage and traffic, Scaleway for serving additional traffic for free, to stretch the dollar further. At 5TB you probably don't need anything but the raw file system yet, but if you do want some redundancy you could add som

So that means that the synchronization cost would only be paid when making a new copy of the Arc and releasing each of those. Ok, that extends the set of use cases where it's acceptable to use Arc then. Thanks for clarifying. EDIT: wor

But isn't it an anti-pattern to wrap something in an `Arc` when some of your use cases for it are purely single-threaded, and as such you're wasting a certain (potentially very significant) amount of performance on upholding memor

Put Cloudflare in front for SSL. Not sure if that makes the solution more or less complex, never worked with Route53.

I've built a bunch of simple scripts for this that you can find here [0]. It's not polished for public consumption or updated to k8s 1.10 yet, but it's what I use for production clusters, some of them single-node. Run the pre

Not saying anything about GraphQL in particular as I have almost no experience with it in practice, but there are cases where REST is simply unbeatable, especially if you're very comfortable with it: Simple APIs, encapsulating simple d

What you need is a code generation library that will turn the AST back into JS code once you've identified which part of the syntax tree you're interested in. And that's the code you want to then eval(). Esprima has escodegen

by seeekr 9y ago
You could use a parser like esprima or its equivalent from the babeljs ecosystem on the JS source instead and just find the global variable with name `__STATE__` and just eval its init expression. Cheaper, more secure, more direct than actu

The smoothness of the marquee text is irritating. ;-) On a more serious note (haha), awesome theme. Tempted to think up something to build with it :-D

I would be interested in hearing about some examples. I'm one of those who are not yet taking advantage of these potential drastic improvements you are referring to.

So this video features a self-driving car developed by Yandex. Does someone have insight into why so many big tech companies seem to all be in agreement that developing self-driving cars is an area they need to be pursuing? Is it mostly eve

I would guess that both of you received downvotes because both comments failed to provide any explanation for the view expressed. I think it's good practice on HN to briefly introduce a technology where it's safe to assume that a

JIT engines usually don't do static analysis. I'm not sure if that is because the cost for that is that much higher, but a hint towards why could be that the engine simply does not know which parts of the (potentially huge amounts

The author has proven exactly this point: By going through a number of engine-specific / implementation-specific code transformations they have achieved a significant performance boost for hot code, which, for whatever reason, the JS e

Your comment spawned the following (minor?) idea for me: A lot of the devices (and hence IP addresses) we basically know are never going to be accessed directly by a human being, only through some combination of tools and automated processe

It seems to me there is no reason we shouldn't be able to create an "optimizing babel" that could be doing performance optimizations based on the target JS engine and version, as a build step. I don't think we need to go

We've done so much learning about good UX, backwards compatibility and smooth upgrade paths in the years since IPv6 was first thought of and specified that I suggest there is a group of people out there (or on here) who can sensibly co

Hypothesis: Mass adoption of IPv6 is blocked by the ugliness/inconvenience of the IPv6 address format, hence "end-users" (developers) don't like adopting IPv6. As long as this UX issue does not get solved, IPv6 adoption
