This is a registry I know of: https://smithery.ai but it's just a listing But any self-hosted npm registry backend (e.g. github npm registry) should serve as a private MCP Server r…

Doesn't a SIM swap attack impact more than just a single user account of a service? They lose access to SMS and calls from their phone. I'd argue they learn that there's a security…

tbf, I was spooked by the initial "turn off your adblocker" banner stuff and I signed up for the offered 3-month YT Premium trial because it's linked to my primary Google account. …

Curious to hear answers to this too. People forget usernames and that alone would lead to drop off. People are also reluctant to give out phone nos. which is anyway a terrible iden…

FWIW it wasn't meant to sound critical of him, his contributions are much loved and his attempt to push to ESM was also in good spirit with his helpful gist on the issues, but ESM …

Curious to see how this one decision plays out for nodejs IF - - module authors increasingly adopt ESM - TypeScript experience with Deno is butter smooth - npm packages work with D…

Totally agree. It's doubly frustrating because a standard for authoring modules across browser and server platforms such as ESM is a good thing. But it's a bit arrogant to expect m…

The current ESM experience makes it seem like decision-makers in the node.js project were wilfully oblivious to how large the TypeScript community was and how it was being used in …

If you're just looking to store API collections locally, an alternative I use is a VS Code plugin called ThunderClient [1]. imho, dev centric tools that care about system resource …

I was in the midst of migrating my namecheap domain from Route53 to Cloudflare. Set up all the DNS records while ignoring the /api/ errors shown at the bottom of the Cloudflare das…

Do you offer wildcard certs for subdomains (i.e. *.news.ycombinator.com)? I believe I had some trouble with caddy's tls internal directive when trying to do something crazy like th…

This was my worst fear but I had opted-in to backup Authenticator with Google. Opting in to backup your data with Google is seamless and it also restores stuff like SMS messages. B…

I faced this issue last week. I use the other user profile for Android app development. My phone was lying on the table before me as I watched it abruptly reboot to a familiar blac…

Question is whether Google Fonts CDN/server was storing the IP address or not. Linking to a user is secondary. If a server does not log or store raw IPs in the first place, where's…

By that logic, Ubuntu performs a connectivity check behind the scenes polling connectivity-check.ubuntu.com every few mins to detect if internet connectivity has been lost. I do no…

"Disclosing an IP address" maybe a matter of the medium of comms being inadvertently TCP/IP, if MS does not log or store the IP in a meaningful/reversible way, are they processing …

Yep. I have a catch-all email address for a domain that forwards all mail to Gmail and that stopped working somewhere in the Jul-Aug timeframe. Had to set up DomainKeys to fix the …

This is very useful. I always end up Googling vertical align for flexbox. In a rush, what would help me refresh flexbox knowledge is being able to drag and drop the frog, snapped t…

I was about to suggest this app to a friend travelling to India but quickly backed out after checking the location of the nearest centers. It's a connundrum whether these centers a…

Wait, what happens to returned packages? Now I'm curious about that too.

Do you have an example? My understanding is that without browsers doing the tweening between visible states, it would require complex DOM manipulation and animation to make it look…

The next leg of growth for UPI is already underway with the inclusion of RuPay credit cards under UPI. Until last year, UPI transactions would directly hit your bank account balanc…

That traceability of transactions contributes to expansion of the tax net. About ~2% of India's population pays income tax and For the longest time, certain professionals such as d…

Unexpected in the sense that at the time of commissioning the project years ago, they did not anticipate this event down the line.
