Thaxll··on Iroh 1.0
I don't understand the problem its trying to solve in the first place, IP works just fine, such as DNS.

There is already IPv6 and quic, you need vendor and major software to have any traction in that field.

Thaxll··on Caddy compatibility for zeroserve: 3x throughput and 70% lower latency
Another vibe coded, dead in 6 month Rust project.

People that trully need performance are not going to use a random server that has 0 support/ track record.

Thaxll··on Zig Structs of Arrays (2024)
This is what games do with ECS.
Thaxll··on My thoughts after using Clojure for about a month
Low memory usage.
Thaxll··on AI Outperforms Law Professors in Stanford Law Study
AI will never convince a jury though.
Thaxll··on Dav2d
It is much slower than 5%, there were other independent tests that put it around 20%.
Thaxll··on Let's talk about EU Sovereignty (2025)
OVH is a cloud provider, and a large one. It is by far the largest EU provider.
Thaxll··on GTA 6 Developers Unionize
In web dev there is little creativity because everything has been done and there is a library / service to solve every problems, none of that exists in major games. Try Claude in your frontend/backend service, then try that in a game client.
Thaxll··on SQLite is all you need for durable workflows
I started using SQLite for a home project after years of reading about it, I was shocked at the poor type system coming from Postgres. It is really inferior, not sure why it gets so much praise.

https://sqlite.org/datatype3.html

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype.html

Working with date/time feels like using a 30years old database, nothing is enforced at insert. Really someone needs to explain why so many people like it.

Major studio pay the same as in tech for the base salary, the big difference is in bonus/stock.
Thaxll··on Building durable workflows on Postgres
All those solutions based on PG are missing the point, you need a good SDK so that devs can create those workflow without re-inventing the wheel: error, retries, observability, idempotency ect ...

PG is just a detail of implementation, you need a good library to build reliable flows.

Thaxll··on Show HN: Write your BPF programs in Go, not C
Rust is in the same boat, ebpf is C.
Thaxll··on Migrating from Go to Rust
I don't see any reasons to use Rust when your team successfully shipped and is confortable with C#/Java/Go ect ...
Thaxll··on Migrating from Go to Rust
"services that your organization relies on, that have high uptime requirements, that are critical to your business"

Kind of funny when your Rust service runs on Kubernetes.

Thaxll··on Blog ran on Ubuntu 16.04 for 10 years. I migrated it to FreeBSD
The benchmarks are completely off, and a recent version of Ubuntu with sane config would easily beat Freebsd.
Thaxll··on Map of Metal
Not sure why there is Swedish death metal when Melodic Death exists.
Thaxll··on Two EA-18 fighter jets collide at Mountain Home airshow, pilots ejected safely
Once again, thanks Martin-Baker, 4 lives saved.
Thaxll··on Bill to block publishers from killing online games advances in California
Do you think any compagny would want to release some very sensitive / secret sauce code?
Thaxll··on Bill to block publishers from killing online games advances in California
So game should be playable forever then? You bought an online game 20 years ago, it should still work today.

For 20 years you need to support, patch, keep people and infrastructure.

Why the tech industry does not do it? I still want to use windows XP. Why my Nexus 5 does not work anymore ect..

Thaxll··on Elevated error rates on Opus 4.7
I think it's impossible to say that codex x.y.z is better than Sonnet x.y.z, I used many "high" end models and they're just all good.
Thaxll··on Googlebook
MacBook neo is not expensive but it's not cheap.
Thaxll··on Iran hit more U.S. military targets than has been reported, satellite images
This is nonsense, they have the same information as everyone else right? Iran knows because Russia knows. Even the private sector has satellites. There is no secret.
Thaxll··on My audio interface has SSH enabled by default
LLM are not capable of doing that for most things. Having an open ssh device does not require any special "skill".
Thaxll··on French government agency confirms breach as hacker offers to sell data
The credit system is not the same in Europe, first of all there is no such thing as credit rating and what not.

People don't have credit card like the one in US and Canada.

The vast majority use a debit card.

Thaxll··on F-35 is built for the wrong war
They did not have any.
Thaxll··on F-35 is built for the wrong war
I'm sure Americans are finding it funny to pay for $3+ a gallon. The entire economy suffers from it.
Thaxll··on F-35 is built for the wrong war
You completely oversell Iran capability, I guarantee you that f35 would go down in a war with a country with decent anti air such as Russia or China.

Iran never invested in such technology, they put all their money in drones and ballistic missiles which were extremely effective, we are a month in and the strait is still close.

Their strategy was never to try to sink us ships, it was disruption in the region to extend the conflict which was again very successful.

Thaxll··on All phones sold in the EU to have replaceable batteries from 2027
I think most americans are happy to have usb-c on their Iphones.
Thaxll··on Turtle WoW classic server announces shutdown after Blizzard wins injunction
WoW classic has been fully reversed engineered way before Turtle WoW released, the thing they did better is to extend the game with a lot of content, but the core wow experience has been emulated for a long time.

20 years ago I was already using Mangos to play wow classic. See: https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=marenkay

Thaxll··on Turtle WoW classic server announces shutdown after Blizzard wins injunction
Hosting a wow classic server cost almost nothing, it's a 30 years old game running on modern hardware and software. You need couple of dedicated servers and a single db.
