Re:Server-sent events, WebSockets, and HTTP on Sunday February 20, 2022 @08:34AM (#30405542)
Here's an article on how to multiplex websockets [1]

It looks pretty clever, I wish more websocket frameworks like [2] supported this out of the box (with failovers for safari).

Are the Xiaomi pens any good? For 0.40 Euros per pen they seem quite economical.

On HN there's the process of shadowbanning entire users accounts.

By losing the noisy/spamming/trolling posters entirely, we might also lose their constructive/valuable content too.

Since I was a teenager, in the vBulletin v3+ forums era, I've wanted to develop an access control / rate limiting system where moderators would be responsible for categorizing posts depending on the contents of the submitted posts and the user who created them.

Re:The Problem of Marital Loneliness on Sunday September 26, 2021 @05:01AM (#28659433)
Some people can only learn from first hand experience and this is why incompatible people marry and and raise children.

I dodged the bullet 2 times from partners, that I had feelings at the time (I was lonely and out of a relationship for very long periods before), who didn't want children with me (they would consider abortion in case I left them pregnant, instead of having a family with me, when I discussed the possibility).

Love is real and instinctual. No matter how many possible couples you have observed (I appreciate gossip sometimes) to know the possibilities of what to expect, you still have to fight your own urges and dreams.

Re:Why Authorization Is Hard on Sunday September 19, 2021 @08:19AM (#28583740)
I'm working on a project to combine other access control attributes, such as rate limiting and user privacy lists (white & black-lists), based on Groups, Users & Nodes.

Reverse indexing would be very hard e.g. for an ever-growing threaded discussion where participants may be of different groups, and where sub-thread access would need to be moderated (moving posts, restricting access to specific people etc.)

I think seanmonstar also works at Amazon, his projects are exceptional and I've been following him from his MooTools days.

Many of his peers went to work on React. Others like davidwalsh worked at Mozilla.

Re:uBlock Origin review on Saturday September 04, 2021 @09:16AM (#28414810)
Are there open source browser derivatives that bundle such an extension?

Any browser beside Chrome or Firefox seems to only be installed by power users, who also know how to install an adblocker.

We use a VPS from them for the mail server (mailcow) at our company. Pretty solid and cheap.
I remember the time when news were flooding the internet evangelizing iphones as the platform of the web, a platform that would allow websites do anything a native application could.

What a letdown...

Why Reddit or Discοurse haven't created a competing service to Disqus goes beyond me.
