Re:We halved DNS build delay and cut memory use by 85% on Monday November 02, 2026 @11:45AM (#50339568)
It's well possible that some people update DNS records for their own domain every minute.
That's charitable to say that nobody was saying anything except for "let's drown that tea".

What exactly do you mean, the original animation was done in JS?
Why would you assume so when companies 150+ people can only use API pricing? My assumption is that more people use Claude at work than personally.
This isn't a necessarily true assumption. I my social circles of non native English speakers, most of us use English to talk with models.
1) Estimated $100M annually. 2) consistently 3) not sure, sources claim most of the income comes from international charity help intercepted 4) I don't know, I am just following HN guidelines and try to extract the meaning from a comment otherwise bound to be down voted.
I think what they mean is that IRGC funded Hamas operations.
At some point though, the speed of reading/writing is limiting what you can understand. Think of "not fitting the needed formulas/theorems in cache".
> most annoying the cookie law

Also, the least consequential even ignoring often stated fact that cookie banners are malicious compliance. I care much less about cookie banners than about the ads, and for both of I have uBlock origin filters. So, what to be angry about exactly?

Re:The EU Open Source Strategy on Monday June 08, 2026 @09:33AM (#48445154)
To be fair, I don't remember people complaining about cookies. The question is fairly simple, etc. Meanwhile ads? They try to steal the attention. So yeah, lots of friends complain about internet ads, not so many about cookies. I'm EU based.
Re:NPM packages from Red Hat have been compromised on Monday June 01, 2026 @05:04PM (#48362608)
Because entire point of their work is to find the issues as fast as possible, and most importantly, before others.
Why are you so sure that the effects of social media are reversible?
Re:I am worried about Bun on Monday May 04, 2026 @06:30PM (#48015814)
I think parent commenter meant that what's insane is that js runtime is not treated as an utility which should never be monetized. It's as if GCC developers haven't figured out how to monetize, but they are willing to at some point.

Or also sue in fact or demand refunds.

You can install "Hacker's Keyboard" on Android, it does have ctrl key.

L4 engineer at Google Warsaw (very popular destination across hires in Europe currently) makes ~120k USD TC
It says "Pan-European" everywhere, but would this include Belarus?
Don't forget GoG which is an alternative game store with a strong anti-DRM stance (all the games there are DRM free).
Re:Imgur pulls out of UK as data watchdog threatens fine on Wednesday October 01, 2025 @09:49AM (#45437715)
I think "UK citizen" should have been replaced by "person acting from within the UK". This is how it is defined in the context of GDPR - the nationality doesn't matter, what matters is where you are when you are provided services.
Re:Quicksort explained IKEA-style on Thursday September 25, 2025 @08:30AM (#45372014)
O(n lg n) is indeed hard to prove for quicksort, because it is not even true in the general case. Worst case is O(n^2).
Re:Firefox 32-bit Linux Support to End in 2026 on Monday September 08, 2025 @01:54PM (#45171515)
Let me play devil's advocate: for some reason, functions such as strcpy in glibc have multiple runtime implementations and are selected by the dynamic linker at load time.
Re:Materialized views are obviously useful on Sunday August 24, 2025 @07:01PM (#45008581)
Materialized views in ScyllaDB are (were?) known to be a buggy implementation. In particular, they often depended on the cluster being healthy at the time of propagating the changes.
Re:How we made JSON.stringify more than twice as fast on Tuesday August 05, 2025 @08:45AM (#44797328)
I think the main issue is that JSON is capable of serializing JavaScript Objects, which are often much more complex than a simple hashmap.
I'm not sure what do you mean. Statement "open source models can just add a clause to the terms of use, restricting how it can be used" is false, because in that case, it won't be open source. Does it mean that the open source needs to comply with the laws? Absolutely, but that might mean that open source models are effectively illegal.
I think the point here is that so that people reading the article don't complain about "they didn't contain GPL code directly" somehow justifies thinking that that was bikeshedding and not a legitimate violation of the license. Of course, it does not matter if the code was modified or not, but that point might not be clear to the readers who don't have enough experience with GPL.
Indeed this is. For some reason, all the implementations that I can recall suffer from some usability problems. I expect that if a solution that is acceptable for Durov is discovered, they will roll it out. Of course, my prediction might be wrong.
I think it is pretty obvious why Durov did not opt for universal E2EE. His main purpose of making Telegram was to make the chat app that is the most usable of all. E2EE comes with a cost on user experience which was for him too high.

Example: Signal can't handle more than one phone logged in, and if for some case you don't open the desktop app for more than 30 days, it logs you out there and you can never get these messages to the desktop.

Re:rr – record and replay debugger for C/C++ on Sunday July 21, 2024 @09:03PM (#41029943)
Uuh, any kind of dev box that requires more RAM than available? I promise you that storing that much data about the runtime can be really memory consumptive.
Probably not Kelvin.
This doesn't matter, if libxml2 loads .so and the library is malicious, you are already potentially compromised, as it is possible to run code on library load.
