  1. If the company was based in the EU, local regulation might encourage reverse-engineering.

    See tangentially related topic from yesterday: https://www.hackerneue.com/item?id=46362927

  2. Or it disincentivizes creating those features, if you must give it to your competitors.
  3. I don’t want to minimize the pain people experience here, but it’s worth calling out just how hard this problem is for retailers and issuers.

    Gift cards are the #1 fraud vector in payments ... because it lets stolen cards be converted into a cash-like equivalent with zero traceability.

    So fraud/risk system are highly sensitive to gift cards.

    It's not an excuse, but I see in this thread people minimizing the problem at hand - so I just wanted to call that out.

  4. Isn't Google one of the few (if not only), major tech company that would want to keep alive the open web ... given their business model.
  5. I was always bummed OniVim v2 didn't take off.

    It was a native IDE but fully supported VS Code plugin system.

  6. Isn’t it the opposite of what the GP stated:

    > purerl is a PureScript backend targetting Erlang source.

    The backend is not Erlang. It’s a Purescriot backend.

  7. What’s next best alternative (regardless of cost)?

      Virtualbox
      Parallel
      Hyper-V
    
    Anything else? Which is best?
  8. I would have loved this 25-years ago during university.

    Would have made homework (and just learning) significantly easier.

  9. Isn’t the reason more benign.

    Neovim exist to improve upon concepts in Vim (easier plugin development with Lua).

    Helix exists to improve upon concepts in Neovim (need for less plugins, more out of box functionality).

  10. Is this related to controversial Bloomberg 2021 piece about China hacking Supermicro servers?

  11. Seems like it should cost $9/year or $19/lifetime.

    Thats just my gut.

  12. This information is a bit dated but ...

    Since "nm" is meaningless these days, the transistor count/mm2 is below.

    As reference: TSMC 3nm is ~290 million transistors/mm2 (MTr/mm2).

                 IBM      TSMC   Intel   Samsung
      22nm                       16.50  
      16nm/14nm          28.88   44.67   33.32
      10nm               52.51  100.76   51.82
      7nm                91.20  237.18   95.08
      5nm               171.30    
      3nm               292.21    
      2nm        333.33

  13. Original HN post (43 comments / 3-years ago)

  14. Stock up ~8% after hours, equating to ~$200B in market cap.

    (Whereas Perplexity was offering $32B)

  15. Does anyone else feel uneasy about a terminal extending your desktop/server’s exposure beyond its current attack surface?
  16. SQLite is an incredible piece of software, and its commitment to backward compatibility is deeply admirable. But that same promise has also become a limitation.

    v3.0 was first released in 2004—over 20 years ago—and the industry has changed dramatically since then.

    I can’t help but wish for a “v4.0” release: one that deliberately breaks backward compatibility and outdated defaults, in order to offer a cleaner, more modern foundation.

    Note: I'm not asking for new functionality per se. But just a version of SQLite that defaulted to how it should be used, deployed in 2025.

  17. Sad news.

    Typepad brings backs fond memories of early personal "weblog", Web 1.0/2.0 era, Six Apart & Movable Type.

  18. Kind of amazing Alyssa didn’t end up working at Apple (instead of Intel).
