  1. It (hopefully) took exactly 30 seconds, the page delays every item until 30 seconds after its posted date. It doesn't poll HN's server, it opens a websocket to the official HN Firebase, and without the delay, items appear in large chunks. I'm pretty sure the HN server syncs with Firebase every 30 seconds, so this is as fast as it can go while still being accurate.
  2. I tried this, but it required making a request for every comment and would probably call for a backend, wheras this can run just off of the Firebase websocket stream on a static HTML file.
  3. Haha, my version makes a websocket connection to the official Firebase that the HN servers already send everything to, so it is zero extra load on HN
  4. The instance https://cobalt.meowing.de is currently working for YouTube, which is very useful
  5. https://altstore.io is the big one. You might want the AltStore fork SideStore (you can do the weekly reinstall without a computer, https://sidestore.io). Other tools exist, like https://sideloadly.io and https://appdb.to.
  6. Currently, we're pretty limited on 5-character ab.xy domains, and they'll cost you over $1000 USD to register[1]. However, 6 and 7 character domains are available, and can indeed be really useful!

    [1]: https://micro.domains

  7. It looks like it's just the HN submitted title which is wrong (currently "Why the Original Macintosh Had a Screen Resolution of 512×324"). The article's title is "Why the Original Macintosh Had a Screen Resolution of 512×342", and "324" doesn't appear anywhere on the page.
  8. How would the OS know if the app that the browser is querying about is actually the current page? For all the OS knows, the user might be quickly visiting a ton of play.google.com pages for the top 1000 apps on the app store.
  9. Reproduced here on NVIDIA as well.
  10. Llama 3.1 isn't under that license, it's under the Llama 3.1 Community License Agreement: https://www.llama.com/llama3_1/license/
  11. I think they meant that you lose your windows after a reboot, because Firefox only restores one window, compared to all of your groups.
  12. Theoretically, yes, they could, I think. However, with Certificate Transparency, the fraudulent certificates these Certificate Authorities could create would have to be published in CT logs to be valid, where they would be quickly noticed, and the CA would (hopefully) lose credibility and be removed from device's trusted CA list.
  13. Woah, it works with multiple fingers! This is wild for pure JS. Interestingly, more fingers means more lag, I guess more stuff being sent between threads.
  14. PairDrop is quite nice, it's my go to as it always works. It's a fork of the simpler SnapDrop.
  15. Note that the paper and article are from (2021).
