Re:Don't create .gitkeep files, use .gitignore instead on Friday February 20, 2026 @08:07PM (#47096329)
The author is misusing .gitkeep. I use it to keep source code folders that don’t contain any code yet, but whose structure is already defined.

Re:Exploring PostgreSQL 18's new UUIDv7 support on Friday October 17, 2025 @05:38PM (#45622414)
You don't need to add a UUIDv4 column, you could just encrypt your UUIDv7 with format-preserving encryption (FPE).

Re:RFC 3339 vs. ISO 8601 on Sunday September 07, 2025 @09:02AM (#45157825)
I think 'local' in this context could also simply mean 'wall', as in wall clock time. When my friend asks me the date and time, I don't have to bother with time zones.

This type of date/time is also very useful to store in a computer.

Re:Repository Now Limited by GitHub – Here’s Why on Monday June 16, 2025 @04:06PM (#44292938)
This was originally in the HN submission title, but this comment from the maintainer is mind-boggling:

> GitHub has confirmed that the block.txt file in the repo has been responsible for over 1 petabyte of bandwidth per day — mainly due to automated downloads (likely from Adobe’s Chrome extension). This is way beyond what a single repo is designed to handle and poses a risk of the repository being temporarily disabled as early as June 13.
