rustc··on Show HN: Petrichor – a free, open-source, offline music player for macOS
Probably because that requires a paid account ($100/yr).
rustc··on Astro is a return to the fundamentals of the web
And does it break something? I was replying to "islands work until they don't".
rustc··on Astro is a return to the fundamentals of the web
> Be careful with Netlify. Their bandwidth charges are even more egregious than Vercel’s.

$550/TB for those who want to save a search.

rustc··on Astro is a return to the fundamentals of the web
> islands work until they don't

Like when?

rustc··on Show HN: A color name API that maps hex to the closest human-readable name
> Having a tool to provide a name instead of an hex code is useful to discuss colors with other stakeholders (customers, colleagues, etc...)

But how useful are names that this website shows, e.g. the first few random names I got were "Singapore Orchid", "Scented Spring", "Lamiaceae", and "Lunatic Sky Dancer"?

rustc··on EU Eyes Ditching Microsoft Azure for France's OVHcloud
> What will the discover in a month or so that they don't know at the start?

That at least the card they're paying with is not stolen (the real owner would start a dispute).

rustc··on EU Eyes Ditching Microsoft Azure for France's OVHcloud
Anyone have experience with OVH's VPS [1]? The prices seem to be close to Hetzner, cheaper than DigitalOcean but how is the reliability?

rustc··on Phoenix.new – Remote AI Runtime for Phoenix
"Sign in with fly.io" takes me to a page asking me to pay $20 but the plan details are vague - what exactly is included in "$20/mo of Built-In AI Assistance Builds, refactors, and debugs right in your IDE"?
rustc··on Threads is adding Fediverse content to social feeds
All AI companies are already training on any data they can get (by scraping or torrenting). At this point I don't think anyone will be stopping them, see [1] for the latest UK update.

rustc··on Selfish reasons for building accessible UIs
Why would a linter randomly remove a class name from your markup?
rustc··on GCP Outage
Does any service even say they're "down" anymore? All I see is "elevated error rates".
rustc··on OpenPlanetData – Free Daily Planet OSM PBF and GOL Indexed Snapshots
It would be interesting to see how much you can push this. At $0.36/million requests, this would be $0.36 for 90PB of data. Serving 90PB from AWS S3 would cost over $5M if my calculations are correct. Has anyone tried serving petabytes of data from R2?
rustc··on Tracking Copilot vs. Codex vs. Cursor vs. Devin PR Performance
> GPL is a copyright licence, not a ToS.

How is ToS relevant to this thread?

rustc··on Tracking Copilot vs. Codex vs. Cursor vs. Devin PR Performance
> “It concludes that the outputs of generative AI can be protected by copyright only where a human author has determined sufficient expressive elements”

How would that work if it's a patch to a project with a copyleft license like GPL which requires all derivate work to be licensed the same?

rustc··on Cloud Run GPUs, now GA, makes running AI workloads easier for everyone
> Also, hard dollar caps are rarely if ever the right choice.

Depends on if you're a big business or an individual. There is absolutely no reason I would ever pay $100k for a traffic burst on my personal site or side project (like the $100k Netlify case a few months ago).

> It's better to set billing alerts and make the call yourself if they go off.

Billing alerts are not instant and neither is anyone online 24x7 monitoring the alerts.

rustc··on Show HN: Hyper – Standards-first React alternative
Did you run the React code you wrote in the blog post? It has sorting, icons, filtering, typescript types.
rustc··on Show HN: Hyper – Standards-first React alternative
Your table does not have the same features as the React one, so this comparison does not make any sense.
rustc··on Show HN: Hyper – Standards-first React alternative
Can you change the React code to also just have one "card" class and nothing more? It shouldn't be 4 times longer than Nue.
rustc··on Show HN: Hyper – Standards-first React alternative
What's up with the code comparisons under "Complex components"? Why does the React version include so much more stuff than the Nue version? Does Nue automatically inject all those features in your app with just a "card" class on the top level element? The React version has full styling, icons, sortable columns, etc.
rustc··on RybbitL Open source Google Analytics replacement
Plausible uses the same algorithm and they have a page written by a lawyer claiming this is GDPR compliant: https://plausible.io/blog/legal-assessment-gdpr-eprivacy

Edit: Found more discussion here: https://github.com/plausible/analytics/discussions/1963#disc...

> To summarize, I believe the EDPB has made their position very clear on this in their 2023 guidelines: Plausible's fingerprinting is subject to Article 5(3) of the ePD. Plausible has made their position very clear in their blog post, leaning in the other direction. Until this is tried out in court, I don't believe that there will be any definitive answer.

rustc··on CLion Is Now Free for Non-Commercial Use
How is this not illegal under GDPR? I thought asking users to pay money to not be tracked is not allowed.
rustc··on We fell out of love with Next.js and back in love with Ruby on Rails
What's the closest thing to Rails in a language with a sound static type system?
rustc··on Redis is open source again
> All evidence I can find, regardless of domain or context, suggests Redis vs. valkey marketshare is something around a 99%/1% difference.

What evidence did you find?

rustc··on Redis is open source again
They still require a CLA [1] so there's nothing stopping them from doing another relicense to a proprietary license tomorrow.

The only way this remains open source forever is to accept AGPL-only licensed patches.

rustc··on Show HN: Convert Large CSV/XLSX to JSON or XML in Browser
> then maybe you should go all the way in gaining my trust with whatever safeguards it takes

What kind of safeguards are possible with a web app?

rustc··on Backblaze: Mounting Losses, Lawsuits, Sham Accounting, Insider Selling
> And Wasabi doesn't change you on egress.

Wasabi only allows as much egress as the amount of data you're storing and I don't think you can even pay for more: https://wasabi.com/pricing/faq#free-egress-policy.

rustc··on Show HN: Dia, an open-weights TTS model for generating realistic dialogue
Is this Apache licensed or a custom one? The README contains this:

> This project is licensed under the Apache License 2.0 - see the LICENSE file for details.

> This project offers a high-fidelity speech generation model *intended solely for research and educational use*. The following uses are strictly forbidden:

Specifically the phrase "intended solely for research and educational use".

rustc··on Cursor IDE support hallucinates lockout policy, causes user cancellations
> Tinfoil hat me says that it was a policy change that they are blaming on an "AI Support Agent" and hoping nobody pokes too much behind the curtain.

Yeah, who puts an AI in charge of support emails with no human checks and no mention that it's an AI generated reply in the response email?

rustc··on Our New AI Website Builder
WordPress.com launches would be a better title. This builder is not available in WordPress (the open source software) but only WordPress.com (a hosting company owned by the creator of WordPress).

For a moment I thought they added AI integration to the open source Gutenberg plugin.

rustc··on Gumroad’s source is available
It's true for proprietary software yes. The title of this post was "Gumroad is open source" (which has now been fixed).
