jawr··on Discovery of a new OpenAI agent message board
What about soft currency?
jawr··on DeepDive in everything of Llama3: revealing detailed insights and implementation
If you’ve got nothing constructive to say… don’t say anything? OP brings a lot of value in a style they like, your comment brings absolutely nothing.
jawr··on Testing how hard it is to cheat with ChatGPT in interviews
Is it really cheating if they’re allowed to use online tools for their day to day?
jawr··on Detecting and Handling Flaky Tests in Playwright
It seems to be doing a redirect loop
jawr··on YouTube is testing a more aggressive approach against ad blockers
Storing and streaming is an expensive model, and the subscription price is a premium in the majority of the world. It’s actually impressive that so much content (both incredible and bad) is available, for “free” to so many.

I’m an ideal world there would be no ads, but we don’t live in one.

If you have such disdain for ads you should probably pay the premium or not use YouTube.

jawr··on Show HN: State Trooper – Tiny, no frills state machine for Go
Commenters like you are why people don’t give honest feedback. Why review something for free when someone like you is unable to accept honest feedback even if it is critical.
jawr··on Bypassing Gmail's spam filters with ChatGPT
I suspect that’s more an attempt to warm up a domain/ip or something. Manually replying to emails wouldn’t scale
jawr··on Ask HN: Techwise, how did TikTok get so good?
It’s my understanding that Reddit video was PoC’d by one person using aws lambda.

Severless often gets touted as being the best way of doing things rather than just a way. My comment was a dig at that.

But it seems like my comment somehow exposes multiple levels of ignorance, would love to know what they all are!

jawr··on Bypassing Gmail's spam filters with ChatGPT
I’m pretty sure most spam senders black hole any response, the money is in the target clicking a link and no where else.
jawr··on Ask HN: Techwise, how did TikTok get so good?
It’s serverless
jawr··on What if writing tests was a joyful experience?
That’s great if you’re the only person working on the code.

Not everyone is as diligent and not everyone will have thought through/remembered all those edge cases when they happen to end up maintaining/adding to your code.

Personally I find that tests are a great way to ensure all that hard work you did thinking about those edge cases isn’t wasted. That and manually testing stuff is annoying after the first time.

jawr··on Web automation: Don't use Selenium, use Playwright
What’s the best way of monitoring suites? The built in report tool is amazing, but would love a solution that makes for easier analysis and maybe a closer integration with jira.
jawr··on How to make a roguelike
Although a great game, I’m not sure it can be considered a roguelike.
jawr··on Why doesn't Stripe use Stripe Billing?
Shameless plug, but at www.salesbricks.com we separate out billing schedule and contract terms. We also handle complex deal structures, upgrades and renewals!
jawr··on Show HN: MiniMail – Disposable Email Service for Everyone
I made one (running on catcher.mx.ax) available here https://github.com/jawr/catcher not much in the way of documentation I’m afraid :(
jawr··on Don't send to Gmail over IPv6
It’s only dropped if the relay/server sending it is not behaving nicely, otherwise it’s there in quarantine (spam) awaiting user signals to train it.

I think it’s such a typical mindset that people with very limited domain knowledge think that people with a lot more domain knowledge are just being stupid.

jawr··on Don't send to Gmail over IPv6
I think everyone always looks at it from the perspective of the hobby mailer, when instead gmail looks at it from the recipients point of view.

It’s really really trivial to automate buying a domain, get some IPs and setup DKIM, SPF and DMARC. How can a provider determine intent?

Gmails approach is to mostly use user signals, which in my opinion is the best way.

At a company I’ve worked for, they sent some mail using sendgrid to a poorly made mailing list and we’re in gmail spam for ages.

My personal ran email mostly stays in inbox.

jawr··on Model fits in a tweet and predicts all elections since 1960
That’s probably intentional, no one gets 100% on the exam.
jawr··on Multi-Tenant Architectures
Wouldn’t that mean you’re holding lots of non reusable connections?

I have recently been using row level security with a transaction middleware where I set the tenant ID.

Nice article regarding it - https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/database/multi-tenant-data-isol...

jawr··on Koenigsegg’s 2.0-liter no-camshaft engine makes 600 horsepower
> Motorbikes are the worst offender here.

Although there is of course very obnoxious drivers out there, I believe a healthy level of sound from motorcycles can save lives; a lot of drivers complain they can’t see them. One of the reasons i was initially scared of ebikes

jawr··on Please re-add original author to docs and license
I think he knows why it’s called that :)
jawr··on Amazon buys PillPack, an online pharmacy, for just under $1B
Carts queues and parking still happen, they're just being hidden from you.
jawr··on Escher Sketch
i think i actually prefer yours, seems more fun
jawr··on Show HN: Twitch Installs Arch Linux – A cooperative text-based horror game
Pretty sure it's just a splash screen, but yeah :p
jawr··on Mecca Then and Now – 128 Years of Growth
Pretty sure they're aimed at the wealthier muslims who don't want to stay in crude and overcrowded camps, not at non muslims.
jawr··on Linux Assembly How To: “Hello, World”
From a beginners point of view, what's the benefit of fasm over gas?
jawr··on Linux Assembly How To: “Hello, World”
Can't agree more, the description of the different registers was very clear for me.
jawr··on CSRF to steal Bitcoins from Agora via email link
The important bit seems to be in `window.onbeforeunload`

Looks like it tries to brute force a pin reset and then attempts to send a bunch of bitcoin sends.

I'm guessing it depends on the user running on tor and still being logged in to http://sydneymfsnkpw7ln.onion whatever that is?

jawr··on PostgREST – REST API from any PostgreSQL database
Writing boilerplate to turn rows in to objects is also not appealing. As with many things I suspect there is a valid use case either side.
jawr··on PostgREST – REST API from any PostgreSQL database
Aren't a lot of endpoints essentially bound to the database anyway? If you were to do any sort of major schema change, chances are you would have to create a new endpoint (i.e. /api/v2/) to handle the new schema changes. Also this handles versioning.
