lowwave··on Unfinished Business with Postgres
for sure, PostgreSQL is feature complete as Oracle, however it is the best open source db that is close enough. And not everyone needs multi-master replication or automated materialize view, etc. Many feature in Oracle can be build custom via functions and store procedures in Postgres.

start a server with static ip and start ip warming! Send email only for your purpose. That is the only way to send email now days.
lowwave··on New WebKit Features in Safari 15.5
> and in fact I'm usually glad when they choose not to uncritically and promptly implement every single feature Google adds to Chrome, but I understand it bothers some people a lot, so would definitely count against Safari if those features are things you really want/need)

Thanks someone for bring it up. More features Chrome add are in the larger scheme of thing invates our privacy, WebTorrent (leaks IP addresses of the other peers). WebGPU leaks hardware info finger printing, etc.

By using web browser I expect some sort of sandboxing. Why do I need all these features in a document based viewing portal?

lowwave··on Why do you waste so much time on the internet?
HN is one of the places online that is NOT a wast of time. It is full of useful informations. After using internet since mid 90's, and being one of first people that got the first gen iPhone, now days I try to NOT use smart phone or internet unless I need to. This is has significantly improved my life quality. Having more fun, I focus on the people around me and the 3d reality more. Then when I was using a lot of smart phone. Of course that is not the only thing, I had to do however it is a VERY good starting point. Highly recommend everyone who owns smart phone to try using it only in airplane mode.
lowwave··on TRPC: End-to-end typesafe APIs made easy
interesting. Kinda like fastify json schema.
lowwave··on GraphQL Is a Trap?
My experience using GraphQL is the same as using React. Look great at firs glance and it makes sense. Using it for a while and I realize it designed to be used by the fb team. For example, they are design for a large team to work on a small components separately. Most developers are NOT fb, thank goodness. There are better, fast and light weight alternatives for smaller or other kind of teams.
lowwave··on Prioritization as a Superpower
>I’m coming to dislike this kind of content-less content - it’s a waste of time to produce and consume.

Ah just skim the article. The first time says that he is a VC. I think one ought to expect that much from VCs. As you can see emy expectations for VC is not very hight.

lowwave··on Prioritization as a Superpower
good thing you brought that up. I have not read the article, so not sure if I like it. However, a lot people read articles not for thee information, rather style or flavour. I guess this is one those for you. Most stuff online don't really have anything new to say, it is also mostly PR or marketing sometimes.
lowwave··on Ask HN: Do you manage your family's digital safety?

lowwave··on Ask HN: Why isn't there a standard network audio protocol?
thank someone brought this up. Wire is always better than wireless. Wish the world would go back to everything being wired, more secure as well.
lowwave··on Ask HN: Why isn't there a standard network audio protocol?

lowwave··on Bearer tokens are just awful
You can hash all that info, so if the user provide the right info (ip, browser string whatever), then the session key would be reconstructed as true.
lowwave··on Bearer tokens are just awful
>yeah, I always wondered why there isn't a standard field in the JWT containing a fingerprint/hash of the client's machine/browser/etc.

Good that you brought it up. That's why I still bake my own verification session system.

lowwave··on Bearer tokens are just awful
For sure, but then the user assume they know what they are doing. It is to prevent cookie hijacking.
lowwave··on Bearer tokens are just awful
Or you can put device/or ip related info baked into the token. That way when the user device or ip changes, you can invalidate the token.
