Why is an article from Jan 2025 being recirculated on HN now?
It's not Europol's role to push for this, and the European commission has suffered setbacks with ChatControl and other measures already since that time with excellent politicians such as Patrick Breyer doing an outstanding job of informing about and advocating for privacy.
Can you say more about (the|your perceived) relationship between SQL and htmx? When looking up HTMX[1] I was surprised to see what looks like a relatively young project with no direct relation obvious to SQL.
Why do people even reinvent this wheel every few months? Does the <1KB size even matter with modern caches and HTTP2? Does the amount of written lines of code matter when there's modern linters and tooling?
Anyone can build a "reactive" type framework by following tutorials online now, they're super in vogue.
Is my cynicism here warranted, or am I just jaded from 20 years of watching pendulums swing left and right and watching the wheel be reinvented over and over?
I haven't seen the documentary, but my anecdotal experience visiting SF annually since 2016 for work is that it's utterly dire.
I live in northern europe, in Germany, so our bar is high, quality of life is good, but i'm no snowflake prude, around Market Street in San Francisco is simply disgraceful.
I witnessed on every trip passers by being harassed sexually by mentally unstable, or drug abusing people. I was offered to buy a stolen gun in broad daylight a block over from the Twitter building. I saw a gang of people storm a hair salon on Market St. and attack the occupants, spilling out into a 10 person brawl on the street. I've seen people jumping turnstyles and being assaulted by police/security personnel.
What technology did you use for the animations? I've a bunch of itches I'd like to scratch that would be improved by having some canvas animated explainers or UI but I never clicked with anything. D3 back in the day.
A rudimentary look in the source code showed a <traffic-simulation/> element but I'm not up to date enough with web standards to guess where to look for that in your JS bundle to guess at the framework!
Postman, since they raised money have really lost their way in my opinion. The tool gets harder to use, with a more cluttered UI in every release. Seemingly random UI decisions make it awful to use.
Glad to see competition in the space, but I doubt that Kreya can claim to be a "postman alternative" unless it has 75% feature parity with Postman, simply because the range of ways people use Postman is so broad, that it's an unverifiable claim.
Unless Kreya can do teams, testing, scripting, sharing, reviews, forking, publishing secret-link API docs, generating example API code out of the docs in Ruby/Python/etc, it certainly isn't an _alternative_ to Postman for my team's use-cases.
As part of a team of maintainers of a popular (declining) gem, shame they don't make a mention of the extremely valid "gem is owned by a team, and anyone may push" model. I regret that the MFA token for many gems such as this may end-up in 1Password or similar, shared, along side the other credentials, rather than on a separate device or similar.
Had you taken the time to open the link, the 2nd paragraph states their capabilities succinctly:
> Parcel CSS has significantly better performance than existing tools, while also improving minification quality. In addition to minification, Parcel CSS handles compiling CSS modules, tree shaking, automatically adding and removing vendor prefixes for your browser targets, and transpiling modern CSS features like nesting, logical properties, level 4 color syntax, and much more.
>Much like Notion and other block editing methods, site content is represented in a JSON format. Each block has a type, for example, a block of Paragraph would have the type "Paragraph" and would be represented by {"type":"paragraph", "text": "Hello World"}, and an image would have the type "Image" represented by {"type":"image", "url":"http://placekitten.com/200/300"}. A page consists of an array of blocks representing the blocks in the page. A page that consists of a Heading, a Paragraph, and an Image would be represented by an array of maps with types “heading”, “paragraph”, and “image” respectively. A block can also have children. For example, a block of type “Container” may have 3 children of “Paragraph” blocks. It’s very similar to the DOM structure.
Why not make a DOM Editor then with virtual components? The JSON<>React serialization doesn't seem to offer much value, unless it's purely mechanical.
I don't mean to detract from the praise your product is getting here, but I'm really curious about those motivations if you have time to answer my query in amongst the other more excited threads, I'd be glad to understand what the trade-off buys you?
> It’s no secret that the Ethereum login will soon become a user standard and passwords will no longer be needed.
That's some serious kool-aid that the author has been drinking.
Nothing worthwhile in the article, users will be asked in a popup to sign a message they don't understand and will click-through anyway, and this hyperbole is applicable anyway only to dApps on Ethereum.
The best alternative to JWTs looked like it was going to be https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-paragon-paseto-rfc-00.html but the reference implementation and RFC have gone quiet, and these days JWTs are basically OK, the security problems are largely solved by more sensible defaults in most of the common language implementations.
I'm well aware that there's no absolute standards for this, but I've built a number of CQRS systems, and I didn't ever have idempotency IDs as a core tenant of the system.
What literature, or framework or ecosystem holds this to be a hard-and-fast requirement of CQRS?
Personally I've solved this problem similar to Git, modelling CQRS on top of Merkle trees so your system at least knows if your incoming edit (command|commit) is being applied on HEAD (no changes to the model since the command started) or to HEAD+n (needing to re-run some command validations, and "rebase" the incoming command).
As a European reading this it sounds like the author has some kind of narcissistic take on exactly what kind of immigrants their country has and where they "belong".
Of course what the author wrote, and what I understood needn't align, we're different, with different cultural references, but this stood out to me enough that I stopped reading to revisit HN to find out if anyone else observed the same casual use of what seems like inappropriately dismissive language.
I'm a recently naturalized German citizen, could you say more about how I can use my Perso this way. It seems nobody uses the "smart" features.
So far, it seems like a "mini passport" and an enormous risk to carry around literally everything someone needs to know to rob and/or impersonate me, but yet we're legally required to do so.
I'll have to dig up a citation. But the [] Three Mile Island accident was in part caused by (former) naval nuclear specialists making poor choices based on optimizing for the wrong things.
My memory is fuzzy, but this 37 minute video [2] has a breakdown.
If memory serves, the root causes were faults in the pumps and delays in the 28 baud diagnostic printouts running minutes or hours behind which left everyone operating on bad data.
Part of that was exacerbated by the operators applying techniques used on subs (something about preferring to keep low pressure in some vessel, because high pressure there could sink the boat if containment was lost), the TMI design didn't need this as it could vent/blow-off, and the operators became somewhat fixated on "trying to save the boat" and missed a bunch of procedures.
Of course this doesn't invalidate your point, but even if the reactor designs are really similar, it may be a mistake to cross train anyone.
(disclosure: haven't seen this video in a year or so, and am generally a fan of nuclear power considering the alternatives, but it needs to be done with different, safer reactor designs and probably with new branding because no matter what it's going to take _forever_ to convince anyone to trust nuclear, when they associate that term with the dangerous, BWR designs that were never intended for land)
Sorry if this is considered off-topic, but I mus thave surely missed something about why AstraZeneca is seemingly the only choice on the vaccine market.
I am German, we developed the Pfizer vaccine, but there is _no_ news about it, it seems like the AZ vaccine is the only option.
Is it a case that Pfizer wasn't viable, wasn't used here, or only made lucrative contracts with other countries, or is it being used, quietly without drama because they are fulfilling their obligations, unlike AZ who seems to be in the news every day.
I celebrated the success of the scientists (Turkish immigrants) who developed it, after the waves and waves of racism in Germany, having immigrants develop a vaccine helped vindicate some of our nation's political decisions to open the doors and borders, that we do in fact benefit, and, sadly now they seem to be invisible again.
I am in no way condoning sports piracy, or any other sort of piracy, but watching sports has become so incredibly difficult using legal means as to be virtually impossible.
I am a foreigner in my country of residence, I only own an Android smart TV (Philips, and with minor side-loading patches, all ads and nonsense are removed).
I used to run a media PC as my TV because local media options are so bad, and I cannot get "cable" because the TV corner, and telekoms corner of my apartment are opposite.
By now, it is impossible to watch MotoGP, or Formula 1 on a SmartTV using any kind of app in either my host, or home language - my choices are streaming with DRM via custom apps on some platforms (Apple iPad, desktop browser with DRM plugins), or to subscribe for €50/month to a nonsense cable package I won't use.
I maintained the desktop PC and fought with VPNs (and, the arms-race of anti-vpn, with DNS tricking from the stream host) to get a stream (Eurosport, if I recall) for a while, but at some point the VPN detection was reliable enough that I couldn't watch UK Eurosports, just EU Eurosport which didn't show the same streams.
In the end, I'm 18+ months out of any kind of motorsports, and completely lost the interest after a lifetime of being enthralled. They are killing these sports for internet audiences.
I visited that landing page a couple of times and had a mental "blip" because it looks exactly like a domain squatter holding page. I don't want to turn the thread into an incitement of your product, but first-impressions count.
You can reach me in private for any constructive feedback you want, but the product seems cool, but that home page is not doing you any favors.
It's not Europol's role to push for this, and the European commission has suffered setbacks with ChatControl and other measures already since that time with excellent politicians such as Patrick Breyer doing an outstanding job of informing about and advocating for privacy.
