Node v22.7.0 added support for TypeScript syntax that requires transformation: `node --experimental-transform-types example.ts` As for whether this matches your definition of "nati…

Off-topic but is there an effort to test AI models against code versions with major historic bugs (Heartbleed, GHOST, log4j, etc)? Seems like the kind of thing that would be releva…

For those looking for help with SOC2 compliance, I had a good experience with another YC company, Vanta. That was some years ago so not sure if anything has changed since then but …

This is a great example for educating devs on the dangers of “set” operations vs. “pull/delete” in contexts where data can be edited concurrently. I would say that the audit log wa…

One tool I've found useful in low-power/low-bandwidth situations is the Lynx web browser [1]. Used to be installed by default in most Linux distributions but I think that's probabl…

The Temporal Cookbook on TC39's site provides examples of how using the new API looks/feels: https://tc39.es/proposal-temporal/docs/cookbook.html For example, calc days until a fut…

I appreciate the time and effort they put into writing that. Interesting to see not only their own art but also the examples from other artists. Any recommendations for getting exp…

My wife and I got a kick out of your “Games at Dave's house” example. Thanks for sharing

Thank you for sharing this. Regarding feedback on whether sandboxing would be useful, yes, please! Including something like Docker sandboxes would make isolating the agent env’s mu…

Google’s efforts there seem laudable. They have an internal db for tracking issues that employees identify, resolve them promptly (according to the notes in the db and their respon…

I didn't know what you were referring to since I use FF with NoScript. Enabled javascript for the domain and whoa, that is really hard to read. Very strange choice, the article is …

Which extensions would you recommend for this?

For those new to bitshifting, here are the results of the "stuff" operation that @dahfizz describes: 'a' - 'a' = 0, so take 1 and shift it left 0 times: 000000000000000000000000000…

One of the commenters on the blog post stated that the bypass did not work on their Samsung device.

“Modern mariners can tack against the wind by setting the sails at sharp angles. That wasn’t feasible 2,400 years ago because sails were fixed then.” From the picture it seems the …

Yes, that was one of the issues they mentioned in the post. Not that they didn’t have a staging/testing environment but that it didn’t include the specific type of new architecture…

We are seeing errors related to DNS when our lambda services in us-east-1 and us-west-2 try to query SQS. Downdetector reporting more than 1000 user reports in last 15 minutes.

Just wanted to add my recommendation for checking into Davidson as well. They offered a summer academy that hopefully will start back up again after covid and also have an online p…

Ah, the code example doesn't work. User ptx clarified in a separate comment that the author meant it as just psuedo-code; it's value will be different in the next function invocati…

Yes, my feelings exactly. :-) Any idea how useState accomplishes the mutation of the n-1 element mechanically? Seems to violate the by-value and by-reference rules in my mental mod…

To help clarify for purposes of continuing the discussion the original research did address the issue of minimizing the time of the reviewers [1] [2]. Seems the maintainers were OK…
