Sometimes you notice a problem that your unit tests didn't cover and want to figure out where it was introduced. That's where git bisect shines. You can go back and efficiently run…

Prince Rupert's drop is another.

Sounds like you had better luck than I did. After about a year of getting DMCA notices, Hetzner told me to remove my IPFS gateway from their network or they would kick me off. I fo…

Yeah, you would think so. I guess if you want to do a DoS attack, send a few bogus DMCA notices to Cloudflare first to get the real IP of the server they're supposed to be protecti…

This is cool. Makes me want to see if a mechanical version of this could be done.

This is impressive, but if you care about privacy then why are you using MacOS to begin with? It seems like you could never be completely certain that it is safe. Rather than start…

First the ciu-online.net people sent DMCA notices to myself and Cloudflare, since I used Cloudflare as a caching proxy. Eventually Cloudflare gave them the IP address of my server …

It wouldn't matter if you used a filter and your gateway didn't host copyrighted content. The ciu-online.net application doesn't check whether or not the content is accessible thro…

I'm not sure how likely it is that they'll try to sue me for failing to take down content, but I don't want to find out. Running an IPFS gateway doesn't make me any money and even …

Yeah, I took ipfs.slang.cx down after Hetzner threatened to kick me off their service. I was able to stay on top of the takedowns by writing a script to create & deploy nginx block…

In this case the URLs contain valid IPFS hashes. The ones that I've tried all resolve to real files with the IPFS CLI. The issue is they've never been requested from the gateway th…

These are actual hashes for books that exist somewhere on the IPFS network. You can get a lot of them to resolve. They've just never been requested from the site the DMCA notices a…

These comments are easy to identify as ChatGPT because their style makes no sense in the context of a GH issue discussion. They're overly verbose and contain unnecessary caveats li…

It's not an issue of the template that you use or the CTAs that you include. These emails are always useless noise. I don't need a welcome message from the CEO or check-ins to soli…

Sure, some amount of project management type work is expected when you're an engineer at a higher level (senior, staff, principal, etc). However, that's not the entire role. Before…

Imagine, your company has hired you as an engineer to design software systems & write code. Your performance at the company is measured by your ability to design software systems &…

It's hard to be sympathetic when these boomers choose to be alone, not marry, and not have kids. What did they think was going to happen when they got old?

I'd be happy with a browser extension that replaces all the paywalled links on HN with archive links.

I think the general "web product building" space is even more competitive with tons of good choices. You've got Ruby on Rails and Elixir/Phoenix which both have an enjoyable develo…

There are plenty of shared webhosts that let you run whatever language you want. Fly.io, Render.com, Heroku, etc. They all let me run my code on a fraction of a dedicated server wi…

I stopped writing PHP around 2014. I don't know if this is still true, but the impression I got at the time was that PHP is constantly trying to catch up with more advanced languag…

Heroku can protect itself from abuse of its free tier by changing the rules - which they eventually did. I'm sure that the only reason why they kept the free tier as long as they d…
