I think that would work well. A high-quality hash is designed such that changing a single input bit will flip approximately half of the output bits. So hashing both values will mak…

> Just curious, but in your opinion, how does the composition API improve on React hooks? I'm a fan of how Vue's composition API executes exactly once during a component lifetime (…

> There's another approach to making CRDTs fast, which I haven't mentioned here at all and that is pruning. Pruning is a key thing I appreciate about Yjs, because it's not just a p…

Some lefties learn to write by either hooking their hand above or angling it below below the line being written, sometimes complemented by slanting the page toward or away from the…

Wasabi has an important 'gotcha': they charge you for a minimum of 90 days of retention, even if you delete an object seconds after creating it. https://wasabi.com/paygo-pricing-fa…

I'm in Raleigh/Durham, North Carolina, USA.

Before everything shut down last year, my local theaters played a showing of a classic film each month, often Hitchcock. The few I went to had plenty of attendees. Another local th…

Another option in this space is Tiller ( https://www.tillerhq.com/ ). They seem well-established, and offer some spreadsheet templates for plug-and-play solutions to some common bu…

I interpreted it as brainstorming ways to actively sabotage success. "Solutions" that appears superficially plausible, but undermine the outcome in real world situations. So for th…

The GP's example doesn't involve invalid datetimes. The datetimes aren't out of bounds or invalid in any way that a check constraint would detect. They've just become factually inc…

There is a material difference to users between a single attacker having (and possibly ignoring) a data dump, and that attacker publishing that dump publically, or selling it to so…

Having lived through the debut of Firesheep, which prompted the industry to get serious about using TLS, its an amusing triumph of cybersecurity that today a site has to be careful…

My Aftershokz are good for spoken word in noisy/trafficy environments unless I'm inside a car at freeway speeds, or operating a lawn mower. They could work in a car if they got a l…

The external auth service's API would receive textual input (expecting a string read from a textbox), not binary. A hash that included null bytes would output those in hex as ASCII…

There was an excellent breakdown about the challenges with growing teeth recently on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26854080

I'm curious why you feel that way? The DevOps mantra is that you shouldn't be trying to manage deployments at all, except in aggregate. They should be seamless enough to become non…

Pebble 2 is still the #4 most funded Kickstarter ever, with Pebble 1 taking first place. Every smartwatch I've tried in the years since the buy-out just reminds me how much I miss …

A surprising number of limited-access networks only do port blocking, not protocol sniffing. This means many will cheerfully let you connect to an SSH server over port 443 (useful …

Using SQLite databases as an application file format is encouraged by the SQLite team: https://sqlite.org/appfileformat.html

For read-heavy content sites like Yahoo Answers, I wonder why they get shut down instead of getting compiled into pregenerated static HTML and hosted as read-only.

The current state of webapps on Android has made good progress on these issues: Supported on all major Android browsers: - Progressive Web Apps can be added to your home screen - W…

During college I got to see both sides of this play out. I started out majoring in Computer Engineering, an embedded systems oriented curriculum. They started us with assembler, th…

As much as dislike Spotify's UI, I listen to a mountain of fringe content that no other streaming service carries but Spotify has in spades, because all of the indies make sure to …
