Ask HN: Hacker News API is inconsistent?

01walid — Sat, 04 Feb 2023 19:55:13 +0000

I'm using multiple Android apps for reading hackernews (Harmonic, Hacki, Materialistic), all of them struggle to fetch the current top news (frontpage news). I often need to refresh multiple times to get them to work. That specific endpoint feels like aggressively throttled.

However the web version works just fine.

Is it just me? Are other people facing the same problem?

Ask HN: Package.json needs an allowList for the deps that can run postinstall

01walid — Thu, 26 Jan 2023 13:40:27 +0000

The fact that any dependency can run a postinstall script is a supply chain attack risk!

I believe package managers (npm, pnpm, yarn ..) need to account for a `allowList`-like implementation to give more granularity to what dependency can run a postinstall, as opposed to the all-in or not `--ignore-scripts` option.

It can be made backward-compatible, where it's allowed by default if there's no allowList, else, only the allowed deps if present.

An empty array would be equivalant to `--ignore-scripts` by default.

Orgs/teams can define their own allowList and have it enforced as a policy or a recommendation.

I know this is not enough to fully mitigate suply chain attacks, but it'd be a postive step forward.

I'm not sure where to post such a proposal? npm ?

How does this compare to Tauri ?

Edit: it looks like it leverages its own Webkit for the frontend, but then how is this more efficient than Electron ?

How does Krita compare to Gimp at this point?

For a second I thought this is a WebAssembly app :)

Nice job!

No. Explicit is better than implicit.

Is it exempted?

Interesting, but -from the repo description- why this is limited to Go source code files?

New comment by 01walid in "Electron is flash for the desktop (2016)"

01walid — Tue, 11 Apr 2017 14:15:42 +0000

That is why I do not use Slack for Desktop, and just keep a pinned tab of Slack open almost all the time. I also tend to reduce my usage of any Electron-based app because I want to better make use of my laptop resources in my development workflow requirements.

I feel like I agree with most what's said there, the same would apply to NW.js and the likes.

This should be a heads up for GUI developers to [re]consider Qt and QML. It made real progress in the last few months. and there are some nice bindings to it.
