If you’re already ssh-ing to the database, why not tunnel the db connection over ssh? It would probably be less effort than updating security rules each time

You don't need to set up that alias. I'm guessing it's a holdover from the DOS days with Norton commander where you would launch nc just to quickly navigate to a directory and then quit it, which can't easily be done o

Odds are some of things some HN users want blocked are startups started by other HN users. What if w3schools didn't yet exist but applied to YC tomorrow?

That has always been the case ... requests get logged, and if the server exposes its access logs over HTTP, that's one thing for which a request won't be idempotent Idempotent etc in the HTTP specs has always been more or less an

There will be no transition from GET to QUERY, they will exist next to each other. Odd proxy bugs/client quirks with zero/non-zero Content-Length headers in GET requests will remain with us forever

I already can’t use NUL and slashes in a file name. And win32 limits me even more. It’s always been a compromise And the amount of feet that have been shot by weird file names is staggering. Programs will stop working, but that’s why we nee

More importantly, we need to get rid of the ability to put line feeds, tabs in file names and also disallow odd starting characters such as tab, dash and $ I wish someone would add a mount option for that and have eg fedora be a trailblazer

Does Google even have to look at the content? I assume most pirated content will also have a massive number of anonymous downloads, and shouldn't that trigger some fair-usage clause somewhere ?

GDPR art 22 might protect against this ( https://gdpr-info.eu/art-22-gdpr/ ). I wonder if someone has already tried to invoke it against a Google/FB/.. ban hammer.

DOS got a lot of thing wrong about command line parsing, but pushing wildcard expansion to the applications themselves prevented this whole class of errors And even allowed things like 'RENAME *.txt *.bak'.. one of the most surpri

Usually those right click protections just popped up an alert on mouse down, so you could skip them by keeping RMB down as you left click them away.. after which the context menu would appear anyway.

But GP didn't say it had to be distributed evenly, but referred to a 5% of GDP expense. That's 5% of income, whether it's $1000 or $100000.

QUIC / HTTP3 does not fix the roundtrip wait times caused by dependencies - if 'a.mjs' imports 'b.mjs' which in turn imports 'c.mjs'... you still need two roundtrips to load all three. only a bundler can f

If I was installing the module only for use in frontend, eg to be bundled by webpack, the code in your index.js won't execute on the machine but inside the browser sandbox. That makes it a lot harder to steal ssh keys.

It was never open to attach your server to a network, unlike email. A server connection was way too powerful for that. You needed an existing server admin to allow your server to connect.

I think there was a way in NT (at least with NT5/2000) to replace HAL components with more 'generic' components (eg standard SATA drivers, uniprocessor kernel) so you could more easily move it to different hardware. I've
