ThisIs_MyName··on Ask HN: What are the “best” codebases that you've encountered?
Running non-trivial code in your head is far too tedious for daily use. I'd much rather add debug checks for invariants when I want to confirm that the code works the way I expect it to.

> if you're a GPU manufacturer, make sure the 3V3 supply is tolerant to being externally driven and doesn't backpower anything in the GPU

That's exactly what a "diode on the device side" does.

We've got at least a year before that happens.

I don't think this "feature" existed a couple of years ago.
ThisIs_MyName··on Web Assembly Working Group Charter Approved
Ok so they have hardware support for unaligned accesses, but is it atomic?
ThisIs_MyName··on Stack Overflow Sunsetting Documentation
I think he's talking about the big unnecessary "Welcome Back!" box that appears randomly.

ThisIs_MyName··on When “Dumb Pipes” Get Too Smart
Crypto agility is a thing :)
ThisIs_MyName··on Pirate site with No Traffic attracts 49m bogus DMCA notices
I doubt that .xyz did this intentionally. They just wanted to "capture" 404 traffic by responding to every URL with some content.

If just 1% of real users that hit this 404 page decided to stay on the site and browse related links, that's a huge win.

ThisIs_MyName··on LLD is included in the upcoming LLVM 4.0 release
Doesn't LTO produce even smaller/faster binaries anyway?
ThisIs_MyName··on LLD is included in the upcoming LLVM 4.0 release
Woohoo, I've been using lld instead of GNU ld and gold for a while now and I'd love to have everyone who builds my code do the same.
ThisIs_MyName··on Why are all Windows drivers dated June 21, 2006?
>just about every piece of non-driver software from the Windows 95 era works unmodified on modern 64-bit Windows

Yep, see Linus Torvalds's rant about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Mg5_gxNXTo&t=6m37s (skip to 6:37 and keep watching).

Shit like this is why people don't take HN seriously.
ThisIs_MyName··on Apple proposes new web 3D graphics API
Naw, that's happening because you have a JS thread doing everything. Native code on OpenGL ES is structured very differently.
ThisIs_MyName··on Avoid Non-Microsoft Antivirus Software
Cert pinning ignores root certs. This is by design :(

>The Chromium browser disables pinning for certificate chains with private root certificates to enable various corporate content inspection scanners and web debugging tools (such as mitmproxy or Fiddler). The RFC 7469 standard recommends disabling pinning violation reports for "user-defined" root certificates, where it is "acceptable" for the browser to disable pin validation.

ThisIs_MyName··on Google Has Started Penalizing Mobile Websites with Intrusive Pop-Up Ads
There is an official Google extension which does exactly that: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/personal-blocklist...
ThisIs_MyName··on GitHub Enterprise SQL Injection
Care to elaborate?
ThisIs_MyName··on Ask HN: What are your favorite thin websites (text only or limited images)?
Font is too big and too thin, IMHO.
ThisIs_MyName··on GitHub lost $66M in nine months of 2016
Keep in mind that the whole point of Gitlab/gogs is to self-host it.

In my experience, both are lightning fast compared to GitHub over the internet.

Unicode strikethrough looks really bad on my font :(

ThisIs_MyName··on Citigroup Has ‘Technical Issue’ as Customers Say Accounts Frozen
True enough, but most of my chip cards will not work with the mag strip if the card reader supports chip. If I slide the card, I get a message on the POS screen telling me to use the chip.

The guy who steals my mag stripe has to find a store without chip readers to make use of the stripe.

ThisIs_MyName··on Containers vs. Config Management
lol people pull from github on every deployment?

At the very least, you need a local mirror to prevent hogging the network when you're deploying to many servers.
