deepstack··on maps.google.com now redirects to google.com/maps
thought they have moved mail.google.com to google.com/mail a while ago. Tracking would still be possible over 2 domain, but then google would have to do a bit of ETL operations. Guess this will save some more engineering.
deepstack··on For naturally introverted people, acting more extroverted can backfire
>How would you react if someone came in and said "there is no real gravity; it's just that the earth loves us very much"? Or "there are no viruses and bacteria; we get sick from bad air and evil spirits"?

Gravity can be measured more objectively than social science (such as psychology) concept such as introvert/extrovert, which is determined by committees such as DSM IV or maybe now V. Introversion and extraversion are just one thing that is measured within a certain context.

deepstack··on For naturally introverted people, acting more extroverted can backfire
Sounds about right. There is no real introvert or extrovert. Just people who like hanging out with and people we don't. With people whom we like to hangout with we are extrovert, and other then we are introvert.
deepstack··on Apple security bounty upgraded
It would be funny if Apple start to advertise like tabloids and spam emails. Would totally drive all the silicon valley hipster crazy.
deepstack··on Ask HN: What Happened to the Reddit IPO?
I never understood why company like Reddit, which no users give a fuck if it is 50Billion or 250Billion valuations. It is kinda like Craigslist, it provides a benefit to the society as public forum for information sharing. The cost to run it shouldn't be too high. Just keep it running for the purpose of that. Don't get into those MBA talk about making it profitable. There are business that can be profitable. Something like a public forum, should be like digital public utility, kind alike park and public library.
deepstack··on DevOps is broken
glad someone said it. I mean all the CI/CD pipeline are just in the old day *nix/bsd days bash/perl/awk/sed/python/ruby (fill in the blank) scripts. One problem when IT/Software development become more main stream is that everything got another layer of obfuscation especially in corporate cultures and amongst sales and recruiters and managements. Development Operation or pipeline sounds sooo much better bash scripts.
deepstack··on PostgresML is 8-40x faster than Python HTTP microservices
please just run postgresql in EC2, there are many presentation why that is preferred over RDS.
deepstack··on PostgresML is 8-40x faster than Python HTTP microservices
that is reason many older developer tend to do everything biz logic etc all in db store procedure/functions/view, etc. The cost of getting the data is native, no connection pooling needed, and with V8/python integration in the PG, it is non trivial what language you use. If you are dealing with large amount of data in a db, why not just do everything there. DB like sql has cursor, merge, that makes manipulating large set of data much easier than moving it on to another language environment.
deepstack··on We are still early with the cloud
Many developers in now and before like to have their own desk/space it helps them think. Getting ride of that space or changing may not be optimal for many developers I've worked with.
deepstack··on Brave browser now blocks cookie banners
Kinda make sense, since the founder of Mozilla left and went to start Brave. Makes one wonder how the company is really defined by their founders.
deepstack··on Wikipedia is not short on cash
what about archive.vn ?
deepstack··on Castopod – Open-source podcast hosting platform
also the way google dumps code is also a factor, is it going to be repo where we can keep track of the whole development process, or just a code dump every once in a while.
deepstack··on Castopod – Open-source podcast hosting platform
Being use PHP when it was Personal Home Page, also dropped out since PHP5 to node and now deno. Wonder what changed in 7 that makes it worth at look again now days.
deepstack··on JWT vs. Opaque Tokens
or if the user allows JS in their browser, then just do some GPU/CSS/Font Collections,etc. finger printing and get the unique id, since all the major bowser vendors are not fixing this problem (except may be for webkit).
deepstack··on The $300B Google-Meta advertising duopoly is under attack
Yup there were even Mac clones then, MS actually came in saved Apple at one point.
deepstack··on YouTubePluginReplacement.cpp: YouTube-specific code in WebKit
the all the embed tags video broke on my old site with youtube video embed when this was done, I just changed my code, but I guess a lot people probably complained. So there you go.
deepstack··on Privacy vs. “I have nothing to hide” (2019)
I don't think it has anything to to conspiracy theory or anything like that, it just a matter of fact, that nation state actors just simply DO NOT trust anything digital for important stuff ATM.
deepstack··on Privacy vs. “I have nothing to hide” (2019)
Yup. For serious people like military, etc they do keep important info in NON-digital form. When Snowden revelations came out, Russians switched to type writer for their internal memos.

For personal use, just have to say offline USB drive is a good investment if you can make the physical switch.

Until we can have something like the quantum entanglement communication.

deepstack··on Brave Integration Deepens Support for Unstoppable Domains
and also > Now, we’re deepening our integration beyond .crypto to include more top-level domains – including .nft, .x, .wallet, .bitcoin, .blockchain, and .dao.

Hmm, for something to claim to be Unstoppable Domains, why not include .onion as well, seems like that is more an unstoppable domain than what Brave is offering. Any comments on that Brave?

deepstack··on How the SQLite virtual machine works
yeah when it comes to embbed, if one is willing to go the java road, then H2 is an excellent DB to use. It is some what Postgres compliant.
deepstack··on New Text and Array Functions for Excel
>I kind of wish they went for the matlab cell array style where a function can return an array, but it just becomes a data structured stored within a single cell. you mean kinda like json and jsonb in postgres?
deepstack··on GitHub Outage
from the message I'm getting it seems like the load balancer is not able to spawn up server to handle new connections. Again, status page needs to reflect that, which means the status server page is NOT running on the same infrastructure as the main server group. Stop using AWS(or whatever fill in the blank hosting provider) for the status and production environments.
deepstack··on Show HN: Chitchatter – P2P chat app that is serverless, decentralized, ephemeral
gfodor, just FYI your link on github is not working. I get "We had issues producing the response to your request." from github.
deepstack··on Show HN: Chitchatter – P2P chat app that is serverless, decentralized, ephemeral
would be good to make the discovery be a module that can be replaced or used as a redundant plugin. That way the user can use DHT, WebTorrent, CloudFlare or whatever.
deepstack··on Self-hosted email is the hardest it's ever been, but also the easiest
>> Almost none of the things linked there are run by serious isps that are responsible for other peoples' mail in quantities of tens of thousands of inboxes or more.

If you look at Haraka in the list, it is used by craigslist to deliver a lot emails every day, they switched to it from postfix to save cost.

I know Haraka is smtp only, however by using ZoneMTA like what wildduck is using, it will be a complete email solution.

deepstack··on Armies are re-learning how to fight in cities
not to mention Russians has great mastery of EMF warfare pretty well. Pretty sure it won't take much to hack or disable these drones. Won't trust any of these kind of tech for war fare too much.
deepstack··on John A Phillips
The real question is every human being have ability to have create these kind of bomb, I can see civilisation can be wiped out in an instance at our current level of mental/psychological/spiritual maturity.
deepstack··on Telegram is asking German users when to share information with law enforcement
I think when people compare Matrix/Element a bit differently than all others. It is federated chat client (like email), that along is something worth considering for people who wants to keep their message and communication channel open. All the other chat program, such as What's App, Signal, Wire all belong in the same universe much like AOL back then. Signal actually discourage others from running their own servers. Matrix allows us to have our own domain and address, which is forever ours. If we don't like the provider that is running our server, we can just start our own (just like email). For that along I would rather support a version of Element.io/Matrix.org than another other programs.
deepstack··on Ask HN: Is there a developer laptop that does not suck and is not a Mac in 2022?
* You don't say where you are located * I also would like to know the location. thepoet, would be good if you start commenting on this thread as it is on the front page of HN.
deepstack··on Protonmail Recommended Browsers
Why is safari/webkit not in there. It my understanding that it's the most privacy respecting browser in the area of finger printing.
