    Webhooks are simple and ubiquitous, and that's both a weakness and a strength. It's also why they are used for a lot of things, even things they are not great for (state sync). The…

    I've lived both in the US and the UK. The US has the 5th amendment protecting you from self-incrimination, while in the UK you can go to prison for not divulging your encryption pa…

    This, and other similar legislation, serve as a constant reminder of why the American founding fathers had to revolt against tyranny, and why constitution amendments like the 1st a…

    Show HN: Diom – Back end primitives (queue, rate limit, etc.) in one Rust binary

    Hey HN, my name is Tom, and I'm excited to share Diom ( https://diom.com ) - a backend components server. Diom includes implementations for common backend primitives such as cache,…

    It has build.rs, which has essentially the same problems.

    How is that different (in this sense) to any "slower" rewrites or other significant changes?

    I wasn't comparing to Iran, I was just saying that putting an F-35 and a $2m drone on the same list and same count was funny. As for the $40m number: I also saw this number, but I …

    Sure. But looking at all of the downed Israeli crafts, they are all $2-5m drones (all 18 of them). For perspective: Patriot missiles cost $4m each.

    It's a bit weird counting drones in the same list as expensive fighter jets (and other expensive planes).

    I use bbwrap to sandbox Claude. Works very well and gives me a lot of control and certainty around the sandbox.

    These are two sides of the same coin. Go has its quirks because they put things in the standard library so they can't iterate (in breaking manners), while Rust can iterate and impr…

    Very interesting that they opted for a rewrite in Rust instead of adjusting the existing codebase. I wonder how long it'll take them writing a compositor from scratch.
