plopz··on What Will Enter the Public Domain in 2025?
Yeah, thats a big problem with shows that work really well with the music, like Scrubs. I'm glad we have piracy to be able to keep the original works with the intended tracks intact.
plopz··on What will enter the public domain in 2025?
The only part that feels weird about a shorter duration like that is tv/movie adaptations of books. The game of thrones show came out 15 years after the first book, does that mean they would have been able to make it without licensing it from the author?
plopz··on Writing Composable SQL Using Knex and Pipelines
This was one of the problems I ran into https://github.com/kysely-org/kysely/issues/664, not being able to use functions inside onDuplicateKeyUpdate
plopz··on Writing Composable SQL Using Knex and Pipelines
I've had issues when needing to use sql functions.
plopz··on Edge Scripting: Build and run applications at the edge
Thats new to me, is that an attempt to standardize similar to PHP's psr-7?
plopz··on Show HN: IMDb SQL Best Movie Finder
You should check out movielens, they have a couple recommenders as well as some data sets you can download.
plopz··on Steam games will need to disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages
I'm not sure about that first part, some of the biggest games like gtav is an embarrassment in the concept of never trust the client.
plopz··on Steam games will need to disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages
I think server side statistical analysis can go a long way to detect stuff like that. Obviously its always a cat and mouse game between devs and cheaters, and there are always workarounds, but theres a lot more the devs could be doing without relying on invasive client side detection.
plopz··on Intent to unship: HTTP/2 Push
Is there any reason to use websockets over webtransport now?
plopz··on Starliner Is Such a Disaster That Boeing May Cancel the Entire Project
Has anyone done the analysis on looking at the checks NASA is writing compared to the total contract price to know how front-loaded or how much money is still remaining in the contract? That seems like the easiest way to figure out whether its worth it for them to continue or not.
plopz··on NASA acknowledges it cannot quantify risk of Starliner propulsion issues
They removed the autonomous flying part for this mission, so they can't jettison it without a human inside. They are supposedly working on adding that feature back in. It also cannot be attached to the canada arm so they can't even clear it away from the port its using.
plopz··on Launch HN: Sorcerer (YC S24) – Weather balloons that collect more data
For your gridded data, what file format are you using, grib, netcdf, zarr?
plopz··on Launch HN: Stack Auth (YC S24) – An Open-Source Auth0/Clerk Alternative
That looks interesting, but also expensive.
plopz··on How Google handles JavaScript throughout the indexing process
PHP and jQuery forever
plopz··on NPM and NodeJS should do more to make ES Modules easy to use
not being able to mock es modules in tests is a real pain
plopz··on Engineer's solar panels are breaking efficiency records
did you do your roof at the same time? theres a big cost of taking the solar off and putting it back on when doing roof work which can kill cost efficiency if not lined up with the lifecycle of your roof.
plopz··on Making EC2 boot time faster
Fargate is too slow without the container cache you can get with ec2
plopz··on Web Game Engines and Libraries
Bevy doesn't have great wasm support currently especially with multithreading but they are working on it.
plopz··on Entrust mis-issues a certificate, Refuses To Follow CA/B Rules
Ever since the browsers decided that self signed certs were not good enough, I've considered the entire cert ecosystem to be a sham.
plopz··on Spinkube: Running WASM in Kubernetes
Did you solve the 32bit and no multithreading problems of wasm or are those still issues?
plopz··on FCC Denies Starlink Low-Orbit Bid for Lower Latency
It's not even clear that the ISS is the issue, that's just the opinion of one dude from the UK. It's a very strange article.
plopz··on Giant sequoias are a rapidly growing feature of the UK landscape
The story of the dawn redwoods is pretty interesting. Found in the fossil record, thought to be extinct, but then in the 40s a grove was found in china and seeds shipped all over the place. Now theres a bunch of cities planting them along sidewalks including nyc. Although sadly now it seems like the grove in china is having issues.
plopz··on Launch HN: Onedoc (YC W24) – A better way to create PDFs
The problem with chrome is the performance, it is very slow and uses a bunch of memory. There was a neat post here awhile ago about generating pdfs faster https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39379690
plopz··on Iditarod musher Dallas Seavey kills moose to protect his dogs during race
It's not so uncommon, I was just reading about Kristen Neuschafer and Yannick Bestaven who both rescued fellow competitors in solo races. Both happened in the last couple years.
plopz··on Airfoil
The whole air has longer to travel thing is obviously hand waving a lot of different properties that are all combining to get better efficiencies. For example, don't forget the coanda effect and its contributions to the shape of a wing. Luckily we can always just return to the navier-stokes equations to help us out.
plopz··on Airfoil
Just a small note, that code looks like Context2d rather than WebGL unless you were looking at something else in the code
plopz··on What if modern appliances were built like the KitchenAid stand mixer?
Not sure if it affects the older ones, but I've burned out the motor on a few KitchenAid mixers when using the dough hook.
plopz··on JSR first impressions: a JavaScript package manager by the Deno team (2023)
I tried to do exactly what you say last week but I couldn't get it to work. The turborepo documentation seems to indicate its possible with the whole concept of "internal packages" but it all depends on the compilation step of Project B being configured to compile and bundle workspace dependencies, and a simple "tsc" wasn't doing it for me regardless of the different tsconfig settings I tried.

If its actually possible I'd love to know how.

plopz··on Python HTTP library 'urllib3' now works in the browser
its udp with encryption and congestion control, but the aspects that gamedevs like about udp, low latency and out of order delivery without head of line blocking are features

plopz··on Python HTTP library 'urllib3' now works in the browser
isn't the udp problem fixed with http3 unreliable webtransport?
