I wish my employer’s “security” processes were running on efficiency cores. Looks like maybe I can make that happen!

To quote the relevant section: “ODoH sends DNS queries through the first internet relay, so the DNS server cannot identify the user issuing a query. Each query itself is padded and encrypted using Hybrid Public Key Encryption (HPKE) to help

Interesting, I’d have said TV shows have an advantage in this metric. (How many top shows have less than two hours worth of episodes?) On the surface I think the charts show this, as only the most popular English movies are over ~15M hour

We have the same guarantee about that today as we did a month ago before this was announced. Apple writes the software that runs their devices, so they’ll always have the option to ship something like that. Apple could have quietly implemen

I see the value of this, but I find the wisdom of it to be highly questionable for anything but the highest-level TLDs. For example, it enumerates the domains of many US state school districts: k12.pr.us // k12.ri.us Remove

Did you get this framework from somewhere you can refer me to? It’s facially intriguing and I’d like to see it more fully explored.

I naively expected this to be some kind of story about how Notepad++ secretly embeds the V8 JS engine for some obscure feature, and what the consequences were. It’s not. Rather, it’s release notes for a new version (“v8”) that mention a new

You could, but then you’ll have replaced a universal and standardized abstraction with a hard commitment to one very specific approach. That doesn’t come cheap.

No. I thought copyrights protect literary and visual illustrations, but not any underlying processes, mechanisms, or artifacts they describe (patents protect those). My understanding of copyright law is surely flawed, and perhaps the “origi

You’re suggesting that Microsoft may choose not to crush WINE even if they had the right, because some other incentive holds them back. I think GP agrees, and is merely saying that Microsoft’s current philosophical beliefs would not likely

Very neat. I had a similar need recently which led to a similar solution[^1]. Notably, I used a syntax nearly identical to yours, albeit without the very handy pluggable validators yours has. Nice job. What led you to choose “!” as the “opt

I undertook a similar endeavor a while back. My solution[1] rested on the observation that you don’t need to have a B-tree to do a binary search; one need only be able to calculate the correct byte offset of the Nth hash. With some optimiza

The thing that caught my attention about this post was specifically that it‘s a JavaScript bundler not written in JavaScript. The “in Go” in this case made the difference between my noticing and skipping a very interesting submission, so

That’s really reassuring to hear! Keep up the hard work, and I’ll keep an eye out for something in March or so. Until then, where is the best place to look for updates?
