To be fair I wasn't agreeing with the "API in 20 minutes approach" I was only pointing out the contrast between that and something like this. As I tried to allude too, AI written APIs often have security, performance, maintai

I find it striking that in the same day I saw a video about how someone "Made an API in 20 minutes with one prompt" and this. The two approaches seem very divergent. One that is almost cavalier about things like security, standard

I like that idea but I purposely stay anonymous on HN and I would be DOXing myself if I used this. It'd be great to be able to either use it without a username (ideally) or have the choice to keep your HN username private.

Generally yes but the languages are similar enough that the refactoring could be automated. Of course, that would create a fair amount of QA and testing work but if you have good test coverage you can mitigate that.

(Sorry for the delay, I haven't checked HN is a while and just noticed this) So some proxies (forward and reverse) will strip this header for different reasons. The reverse proxies sometimes strip it to improve caching and/or beca

In my experience Accept-Language header is pretty unreliable. It tends to just be one of a few values. Between people never updating it, proxies stripping it, people concerned it will make them easier to fingerprint, etc. Also, form an impl

I'm a little surprised HHVM is still around, last time I checked it was barely (if at all) faster than vanilla PHP and PHP now has a lot of the comparible features like progressive type safety and concurrency (to an extent). There are

That example you gave could certainly be done in Lex/Flex and I assume other lexers/tokenizers as well, for instance, you would probably use states and have "$x" in the initial state evaluate to a different token type th

by throwaway2016a 2y ago
That's no problem in many modern lexers as they usually have a "state" so when you encounter "echo" you can switch to a new state and that state may have different token parsing rules. So "if" in the &quot

The "hate" is for apps that only pre-package the GPT with a pre-written prompt and don't do much else. And the reason is, I think, because simply making a prompt template is usually not a significant enough value-add except f

I had a similar course in college... though we had to build the computer on a breadboard and it was nowhere remotely close to being able to run a GUI let alone Tetris.

Some of this reads as: "How to learn Java in just 1.5 years!" And notably (and related to my Java observation) there are two OOP classes here. I like the concept but it is some key things a 4 year degree's sometimes (not sayi

My undergrad had those things and they are the courses that have been most helpful to me in the real world. But I generally agree, it is rare to see them outside of master's degrees but doesn't mean they shouldn't be in there

While I agree it's not really security through obscurity because when combined with other strategies (like mitigating timing attacks and rate limiting) it does expose less information to the attacker. However, I stand that it does depe

It's not the complexity (IMO), it's the cost. A hobbyist can easily set up NAT gateway but very often the NAT gateway is the most expensive part of the entire cloud bill. So the hobbyist is left with paying it or exposing their se

You could do A but in addition to the security issues now you have to pay for public IPv4s on AWS too so if you have a significant number of services that are private but need internet access it is still cheaper than NAT gateway but just ba
