    Curious but offtopic - are others also immediately suspicious of the content and quality because the readme is so obviously AI-written? What are ways you distinguish genuinely usef…

    I have thought of that as ‘n’ being the manageable threshold and the (uncontrolled) ‘+1’ the overflow creates the problems. Typically in terms of additional layers or iterations.. …

    One fun mechanism I've been using for reducing html size is diffing (with some leniency) pages from same domain to exclude common parts (ie headers/footers). That preprocessing can…

    Ask HN: Developers, do you use SDKs to integrate against REST APIs?

    I've noticed increasing visibility on SDK generators, and companies offering SDKs in popular languages next to their public APIs. Especially in B2B SaaS context, do folks find valu…

    Clever! With bit of more complexity in generation, you can shave off good number of bytes by using shorter id's, I think? 3 characters per id in base36 should do, in reality even l…
