AFAIK Ladybird is separated from SerenityOS completely now (https://hackaday.com/2024/07/02/fork-ladybird-browser-and-se...) so the Ladybird contributors can fully focus on it

Sounds similar to Vercel‘s portless CLI (https://portless.sh/)

There was a nice task on 39c3 https://youtu.be/3OAiOfCcYFM

They do try to upstream and eventually just have Linux natively support Apple Silicon!

New comment by bennett_dev in "Show HN: Elysia JIT "Compiler", why it's one of the fastest JavaScript framework"

bennett_dev — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 14:55:53 +0000

I'm not familiar with Elysia but how does this handle subfunctions? e.g. if my code is

const app = new Elysia() .patch('/user/:id', (request) => { return handleUserRequest(request); })

or some other custom logic, does it automatically need to fall back to full parsing?

Such an interesting showcase of history. RCT was a masterpiece written in Assembly from hand. Looking at code from OpenRCT2 you can really see the thought behind it.

Now ISO Coaster really is a badly slipped together adaptation. A lot of details don’t make sense, graphics often look weird and performance is terrible - all while using tons of compute resources.

Same - most of the time I just directly open the specific status (e.g https://http.cat/504 )

Nothing to do with politics and everything to do with crappy AI slop. There was some list somewhere of some of those reports and it was painful to look at

What differentiates this from http://fingerprint.com/?

Visited for the first time and it said I already visited 800+ times with a 99.5% accurancy - not very promising. From the code this also looks like very simple client-side fingerprinting + IP information?

Exactly my thoughts. The whole time scrolling I thought „and now a full example? Ah no, another block of extreme details I dont need“. If it’s so easy and great - just show me what it looks like

Show HN: React-cookie-banner – A cookie banner for React with minimal config

bennett_dev — Wed, 26 Mar 2025 14:43:07 +0000

Hi HN,

I built a React library that aims to simplify making websites GDPR-compliant with a fully integrated cookie banner solution.

I found existing solutions to be too simple (just giving an "Accept" button which isn't compliant) or too complex (requiring a lot of configuration and setup or paid external services). With this library, services simply need to be wrapped inside a `CookieService` component and the library will take care of the rest, handling:

- Displaying a cookie banner - Managing/storing user consent - Conditionally loading external scripts based on consent - Google Consent Mode - Multi-language support and customization

Would love to hear thoughts, feedback, or suggestions!
