I mean, guess why Anthropic is pulling ahead...? One can have one's cake and eat it too.

You tap your finger and you're done. Faster than a password paste. How is that complex or difficult UX?

Passkeys are the 2026 answer. No (added) username, no password, no two factor SMS, no phishing.

New comment by dweekly in "Drones Prohibited Flying Within 3000' of DHS"

dweekly — Sun, 08 Feb 2026 15:05:07 +0000

The FAA just effectively grounded all drone flights. FDC 6/4375 NOTAM published two weeks ago makes it illegal for a drone operator to operate within 3000 feet laterally of any Department of Homeland Security mobile operation in the United States. But given that such locations are not published or marked, operators are typically in unmarked vehicles, etc - it is now impossible for any drone operator anywhere in the United States to be sure they are compliant with the TFR. (It's pretty clear this was published to deter filming of ICE agents in Minneapolis.)

Yay, I'd love to have your help!

1) Anyone can join the W3C group; you don't need to be a formal member of W3C!

2) What's dumb about the proposal itself? How could it better achieve its goals?

3) You can see some dialogue at https://github.com/WICG/proposals/issues/261 - what resonates and doesn't in the feedback and critique?

I've begun an AI content disclosure working group at W3C if folks are interested in helping to craft a standard that allows websites to voluntarily disclose the degree to which AI was involved in creating all or part of the page. That would enable publishers to be compliant with this law as well as the EU AI Act's Article 50.

Hot saltwater is the worst substance on earth, excepting, maybe, hydrofluoric acid. You really don't want to cool things with ocean water over an extended period of time. And filtering/purifying it takes vast amounts of power (e.g. reverse osmosis).

Show HN: Sparklevalidator.com (For Appcast.xml Files)

dweekly — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 16:09:15 +0000

Fellow HN folks,

Many of us who build macOS apps use Sparkle to keep our apps up to date, which uses a published appcast.xml file to track current releases & metadata. If you push out a bad file you could break your updates, but there wasn't a way to validate an appcast.xml before deploying it. So I built one.

It's an NPM module, open source & MIT licensed. Also a web service that can take URLs, files, or pastes and validate as errors, warnings, or informational items. It's also a GitHub Action that's on the marketplace so you can integrate it into your CI/CD pipeline in about three lines. I also put together an XSD validator and plain .md docs as you (or your agent) are authoring.

Feedback welcome!

I heard Germans hate American root beer because they think it tastes like toothpaste and that very thought ruined root beer for me for a few years (until a sunny day when I was just dying for a root beer float and it absolutely hit the spot).

I think one interesting context to consider in this is cloud repatriation. Economics that didn't really pencil out half a decade ago may be worth revisiting for a lot of organizations who now find that their actual bare metal needs are quite modest and can be well met by a few modern servers. The IOPS/$ graph here contrasting on-prem w/cloud in particular is quite telling.

A solid refutation to the first point but not the second suggestion.

On slimness: wouldn't an alternative implementation be to "do the Magic Mouse" and put the USB C port on the back of the phone instead of the edge? Alternatively I could imagine MagSafe alignment / charging magnets plus an NFC like inductive communication (or contact pads) to allow for a range of "snap on" peripherals for phone backs that could be implemented on devices thinner than a USB C port.

There are two reasonable-sounding takedowns of any critique of an industry:

- You haven't worked in that industry so don't know what you're talking about, so be quiet.

- You worked in the industry that you are now critiquing and benefited from it, so be quiet.

Good points, all - there is a lot of subtlety here.

CFHostStartInfoResolution is deprecated, no? https://developer.apple.com/documentation/cfnetwork/cfhostst...:)

That leaves us with DNSServiceGetAddrInfo? https://developer.apple.com/documentation/dnssd/dnsservicege...:) or some kinda convoluted use of Network and NWEndpoint/NWconnection with continuations could do the same?
