Re:Ask HN: What are the “best” codebases that you've encountered?

Running non-trivial code in your head is far too tedious for daily use. I'd much rather add debug checks for invariants when I want to confirm that the code works the way I expect it to.

That's exactly what a "diode on the device side" does.

I doubt that .xyz did this intentionally. They just wanted to "capture" 404 traffic by responding to every URL with some content.
If just 1% of real users that hit this 404 page decided to stay on the site and browse related links, that's a huge win.

Woohoo, I've been using lld instead of GNU ld and gold for a while now and I'd love to have everyone who builds my code do the same.

Yep, see Linus Torvalds's rant about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Mg5_gxNXTo&t=6m37s (skip to 6:37 and keep watching).

Naw, that's happening because you have a JS thread doing everything. Native code on OpenGL ES is structured very differently.

Cert pinning ignores root certs. This is by design :(
>The Chromium browser disables pinning for certificate chains with private root certificates to enable various corporate content inspection scanners and web debugging tools (such as mitmproxy or Fiddler). The RFC 7469 standard recommends disabling pinning violation reports for "user-defined" root certificates, where it is "acceptable" for the browser to disable pin validation.
