deznu··on 4.5M Suspected Fake Stars in GitHub
What’s there to gain though?
deznu··on Show HN: Rust Web Framework
I kind of agree with this. Data in a database is often relational (hey it might not be, but it's still nice to represent it in a struct sometimes, rather than 10–20 different variables which can change anytime your database changes).

I've been using Go recently, and while I'm not convinced on an active-record style ORM in Go (I don't think the language is dynamic enough, and I'm not the biggest fan of codegen), I've been loading the row data from Postgres into a Result struct (pretty much a 1:1 mapping of the Postgres result set into the struct), and then using another function to load the Result struct into struct with their relationships attached (using tags on the structs to define the relationships between them). This has worked great using reflections & generics.

deznu··on Mitmproxy 11: Full HTTP/3 Support
I’m curious what about HTTP/3 is particularly advantageous with HTMX?
deznu··on From beta to 3.0: Trigger.dev v3 reaches GA
Been using trigger.dev v3 for a while now, and I'm quite happy with how everything's worked out so far – no complaints from me.
deznu··on Reclaim the Stack
Senior Engineers cost ~$3k a month in Canada?? Seems far-fetched..
deznu··on Are We Anti-Cheat Yet?
It was an honest and inquisitive question, calm down.
deznu··on Siglens: A columnar OLAP db that can execute queries 50x faster than ClickHouse
Apache.. Clickhouse??!?!
deznu··on Migrating from Supabase
My personal problem with Kysely is that the migrations are not aligned with what I needed personally.

I would have wanted to see Kysely have the ability to generate migrations for example. I also personally prefer the approach that Drizzle takes when it comes to more adoption (in my case, CockroachDB).

Just a personal preference - the project is awesome.

deznu··on Sex and the citizenship process
To be honest, you're realistically taking a lot of risk. The second the Australian government decided to change/rework how the visa works, you could be in a bit of trouble. I would personally move towards getting something more stable. Multiple citizenships are usually quite nice to have anyway.
deznu··on 111-1111111 is a valid Windows 95 key (2021) [video]
Maybe to prevent certain words from being spelt? I have no idea though
deznu··on No, Google did not hike the price of a .dev domain from $12 to $850
Any ideas then?
deznu··on Tell HN: DuckDuckGo now has anoying popup
I saw this, closed it and it prompted me to go to start.duckduckgo.com - apparently if you clear your cookies often this popup can keep showing up, this subdomain looks to avoid this problem and simply not show popups.
deznu··on How Fly.io and Tailscale Saved Notado
Thanks for explaining that. I didn't think about the complexities of billing caps. Is there a contract from a cloud provider that even if they do go over the billing cap, since you set that as your "limit", they can't bill you for over that amount? I imagine that the responsibility for managing billing caps lies on the provider, and the consumer should be comfortable that they will not be charged above the limit they set.
deznu··on ByteDance planned to use TikTok to surveil specific American citizens
You're right, but I half agree with the intention. Sure, one could say HN was built in the US, domiciled in the US - but it's still a tech forum on the global internet. As for whether "most" people on HN are from the US, look I can't really prove or disprove you here, I have no statistics, but I'll say that the US is ~1/4th of the english speaking population (330M/1.3B).

Obviously, I'd guess the demographics of Americans is more than a quarter here, but I (think) there are enough non-Americans that you can't really be certain that the individual you're speaking to is actually American.

deznu··on ByteDance planned to use TikTok to surveil specific American citizens
Why do people from the US always assume others are from the US too..

But yeah, it's way better.

Or just have billing alerts...
deznu··on Ubuntu Pro
> Whoever did this web design should be shot.

I think this kind of wording should not be normalized on this website, and asking for someone to be shot is a gross exaggeration. The amount of disrespect for the developers, designers and victims and families of those affected by gun violence (including women affected by domestic violence).

I suggest you expand your lexicon in the future and use the appropriate choice of words.

deznu··on Raft Is So Fetch: The Raft Consensus Algorithm Explained Through Mean Girls
"You love him, and he totally complimented you. That is so fetch."

This is clearly not stating that the actions by both parties are "irrelevant", it's clearly slang for "cool" or "awesome". The movie was alluding to the word itself being irrelevant in its use, not the word meaning or being synonymous with "irrelevant". I hope this cleared things up for you.

deznu··on Australia gov wants telco Optus to pay for new passports for data breach victims
2.x% of 10M is ~200,000 not ~2 million.
deznu··on Emergency SOS via satellite is included for free with iPhone 14 Pro for 2 years
> although he thought it would be for all iPhones

Not sure why he would think that - previous iPhones don't have satellite receiver. Apple was however previously rumoured to be working with Qualcomm on a modified X60 modem, for satellite connectivity.

deznu··on Can the Visa-Mastercard duopoly be broken?
You're forgetting about taxes though. A lot of cash-based transactions are not declared.

Edit: rather, it's easier to not declare cash income, than income from credit cards. Also keep in mind that the taxi company may take a cut of the revenue too.
