gregoriol··on HTML over WebSockets: real-time SPAs with barely any JavaScript
It would be nice if it was easy to "place the HTML where it belongs", but in a complex app it's never just-replace: you have to preserve a lot of state, wether it is filters, forms, user selection, scroll position, ... so updating live becomes quite a huge work.

I've seen good attempts with libraries like idiomorph, but still quite some plumbing to do depending on the app.

gregoriol··on Someone is running mass vulnerability scans, spoofing AI bots like ClaudeBot
Unique IPs is not something AI can generate easily, and blocking IPs in general is not efficient.

The big problem with AIs is that they can try new paths/payloads very easily, adapt quickly, I'd be more worried about that.

gregoriol··on uBlock Origin is giving up the fight to keep ads off Facebook
So basically Facebook ads won and we are doomed
gregoriol··on Show HN: iPhone app takes simultaneous images from 2 lenses, fuses into 1 photo
Nice! I was really missing working examples when I replaced an MPC by the lower-level Network, not an easy task, but it provides huge improvements
gregoriol··on Show HN: iPhone app takes simultaneous images from 2 lenses, fuses into 1 photo
Apple has deprecated all of that now
gregoriol··on We replaced Redis with MySQL for inventory reservations and it scaled
Even the good teams may make bad choices, that's why it is interesting to read their ideas and discuss them
gregoriol··on Workers Drilling in Romania Broke into a Cave Sealed for 5.5M Years
The wikipedia article says "While animals have lived in the cave for 5.5 million years, not all of them arrived simultaneously. One of the most recent animals recorded is the cave's only species of snail, Heleobia dobrogica, which has inhabited the cave for slightly more than 2 million years."
gregoriol··on FFmpeg 9.0
It's still very niche though, I bet not a single youtuber or OF-girl known they use it
gregoriol··on The myth of Snow Leopard
From years of experience with Apple software, I'm never installing any y.0
gregoriol··on Kimi K3 exploited the latest Redis server
The reason this is interesting is that it allows to go further into the target system if you already have a frontend vulnerability
gregoriol··on Hacker wipes Romania's land registry database
The new world will be: move fast and trust AIs
gregoriol··on Syria's solar boom is redefining Middle East's energy model
It works for me, without a qr code
gregoriol··on Can China build its own ASML?
Trying to prevent someone from having something they want is the best way to make them work twice harder to get it.
gregoriol··on Hetzner Price Adjustment
The lowest prices are for hardware much more than 4 years old though: take OVH's Kimsufi, they use CPUs that first launched in 2015, 2017, 2018, ...
gregoriol··on Anthropic flies staff to D.C. to clean up White House fight
They should fly staff to EU instead
gregoriol··on Ask HN: Why hasn't there been a real competitor to Ticketmaster yet?
Having seen shows with super-premium prices at the front, with half the place being non-reactive to the show because people paying extra are not actually huge fans but huge wallets, yeah you need to put down prices and get those front tickets to fans if you want to have nice shows
gregoriol··on Changing how we develop Ladybird
So 50 years ago people who created calculators were at fault for people not calculating from memory? or 100 years ago people who created engines were at fault for people not doing manual labor anymore?
gregoriol··on Changing how we develop Ladybird
Maintainers can also use the exact same tools to help review and validate PRs
gregoriol··on Changing how we develop Ladybird
How is it really related to AI? there have been issues with open-source and maintainers for a long long time
gregoriol··on Cars collect a startling amount of data about you
You do understand that cars are designed to be in situations where they don't have network access for some time? parking underground and stuff?
gregoriol··on Cars collect a startling amount of data about you
Which model is it? There has been no zero connectivity cars produced in the last 10 years or so, except maybe some niche manufacturer?
gregoriol··on Claude Code – Everything you can configure that the docs don't tell you
claude package has ten new versions published per week, and one new model every few months, one should definitely not rely on some undocumented tricks around it: it'll change, it'll break deep ultra-specific configurations
gregoriol··on Blue Origin's New Glenn blows up during static fire test
Katy Perry was not lost, the world can go on
gregoriol··on Get your passwords out of Bitwarden while you still can
I think a company has to be able to change its commitment, but should not screw users at the same time. For example, if they want to remove the free plan, why not, strategy can change with context, the world is moving around the company, so then remove it for new users not existing ones and it's all good.
gregoriol··on U.S. DOJ demands Apple and Google unmask over 100k users of car-tinkering app
Maybe they should ban metal grinders as they allow people to steal things?
gregoriol··on Localsend: An open-source cross-platform alternative to AirDrop
We have been using AWDL intensely (not via AirDrop but Network.framework) for 6+ years and it fails less than 5% of the time. It's pretty impressive for a non-connected link between devices. The most common problems we face are very high device density places (100+ device in 30sqm space) and device wandering out of reach quickly (sometime as low as 5m).
gregoriol··on Localsend: An open-source cross-platform alternative to AirDrop
Apple docs say iOS 26/macOS 26, that's so brand new that no apps are using it right now, will have to check that again in a few years.
gregoriol··on Localsend: An open-source cross-platform alternative to AirDrop
AWDL is such an amazing technology, it's understandable that Apple wants to keep it only for their devices as it gives them a noticeable advantage for quick stuff sharing.
gregoriol··on All phones sold in the EU to have replaceable batteries from 2027
The law is not about you, but about everyone: 1) Apple doesn't have service centers everywhere: some countries/cities/small towns don't have them 2) Apple doesn't provide service for older devices 3) making it easier doesn't mean you'll be able to swap them live as we did in the 90s, but it means you could do it at home with a reasonable set of tools instead of sending the device to some shop that would need to unglue, unsolder, ...
gregoriol··on Subscription bombing and how to mitigate it
So you mean you are keeping full card numbers somewhere in your logs to... fix some potential security issue...?
