Ask HN: Is RESTful style URL against privacy?

from the ask-hn dept.

I have a question around privacy, want to see your guys thoughts, so the industry has been pushing for RESTful style of URL for maybe a decade now, but isn’t RESTful a bit against privacy? I mean if I use a DNS I cannot trust, then they can simply record every url I visit and based on the url they can figure out a lot about me? A very intuitive example would be say if I click by accident on...

God I always thought this is because I am not a native English speaker, although I have been living in UK for more than 10 years I thought it is just becasue my English is not good enough.

Re:Pytomlpp – A Toml Parser Alternative on Friday June 19, 2020 @04:30PM (#23578593)
Hi, I have been working on an alternative to `toml` and `tomlkit`. One thing I have found in my day job is that these libs are slow when parsing toml files, and I think the reason behind it is that they are pure-python implementations. I have made a wrapper for a high-quality C++ toml parser (tomlplusplus) and think this wrapper can provide better performance if your app parses a large number of toml files like mine do.

The repo is here: https://github.com/bobfang1992/pytomlpp

Please let me know your thoughts!
