Rust is really fun to work with and the compiler is great, just make sure the rewrite takes compile times into account since larger projects often have to be organized in a way that makes compilation reasonably fast.

Sure you can, if you have a legitimate case you can ask npm to unpublish and they handle things manually :)

We mitigate this attack with the very uninspiring "wait 24h before dep upgrades" solution which is luckily already supported in uv.

New comment by inglor in "Local Stack Archived their GitHub repo and requires an account to run"

inglor — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 20:51:47 +0000

First minio and then localstack, as an open source maintainer I find that abandoning their community is bad faith. I totally get wanting to monetize but removing the free product entirely feels like such a betrayel.

Luckily, I've been vibing with Devin since this started having it build a cleanbox emulator on top of real s3 tuned for my specific use case. It's a lot less general but it's much faster and easy to add the sort of assertions I need in it. It's no localstack but for my limited use case it works.

New comment by inglor in "Go.sum is not a lockfile"

inglor — Thu, 08 Jan 2026 09:23:20 +0000

You are not misunderstanding anything, I use Go and Rust/TypeScript in my daily work and you are correct - it is the OP that does not understand why people use lockfiles in CI (to prevent minor updates and changes in upstream through verifying a hash signature).

New comment by inglor in "Vietnam bans unskippable ads"

You likely turned off any privacy invading feature and didn’t let the app track across apps.

The fact you are getting irrelevant ads is a good thing that indicates that is probably working.

New comment by inglor in "Lessons from 14 years at Google"

inglor — Sun, 04 Jan 2026 20:48:18 +0000

Addy's users have been developers and Google has been very responsive in the past. I was usually able to get a hold of someone from teams I needed from Chrome DevTools and they've assisted open source projects like Node.js where Google doesn't have a stake. He also has a blog, books and often attended conferences to speak to users directly when it aligned with his role. I agree about the general Google criticism but I believe it's unjustified in this particular (admittedly rare) case.

You're right https://github.com/arXiv/arxiv-docs/blob/develop/source/abou... this needs a 2023 tag @dang

New comment by inglor in "Pg_lake: Postgres with Iceberg and data lake access"

Postgres has like 300+ types but mostly stuff like decimals should work the same way it does with Postgres (with the edge cases like NaN existing in Postgres but not parquets accordingly)

Also, any planned support for more catalogs?

inglor — Tue, 04 Nov 2025 17:37:11 +0000

This is really nice though looking at the code - a lot of the postgres types are missing as well a lot of the newer parquet logical types - but this is a great start and a nice use of FDW.

New comment by inglor in "Bible and Quran apps flagged NSFW by F-Droid"

They seem to disagree https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/27861#...

> We don't flag general apps, e.g., ebook readers and browsers. But bible readers are not general apps. They are designed to read bible and there are NSFW contents in bible.

Honestly I think their argument is pretty weak, especially since like you said in this case it was a bible reading tracker.

I still don't get it to be honest.

Can we keep hn focused on startup and hacker culture and tech and not politics?

There are enough politicized spaces as it is

New comment by inglor in "Palo Alto Networks agrees to buy CyberArk for $25B"

inglor — Sat, 02 Aug 2025 12:27:20 +0000

Sure, Palo Alto can acquire Cyberark and then use its sales organization to up-sell its customers on CyberArk's offering.

I've seen this at Microsoft where acquiring startups that provide capabilities and then incorporating them into Azure or Defender led to the usage of those capabilities skyrocketing and those particular acquisitions (not going to specifics because NDA) ended up being profitable.

New comment by inglor in "Microsoft Office migration from Source Depot to Git"

inglor — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 18:29:11 +0000

The problem is that you come to a prestigious place like Microsoft and end up using horrible outdated software.

Credit where credit is due at my time at Excel we did improve things a lot (migration from Script# to TypeScript, migration from SourceDepot to git, shorter dev loop and better tooling etc) and a large chunk of development time was spent on developer tooling/happiness.

But it does suck to have to go to one of the old places and use sourcedepot and `osubmit` the "make a change" tool and then go over 16 popups in the "happy path" to submit your patch for review (also done in a weird windows gui review tool)

Git was quite the improvement :D

Not to disrespect Dan here, each discovery is impressive on its own but I wish we had a better way to preserve this sort of knowledge.

@dang - I hit "reply" once (I am sure of that) and I see my (identical) comment twice in the UI. Not sure what sort of logging/tracing/instrumentation you have in place - I am not delete'ing this so you have a chance to investigate but if that's not useful by all means feel free to do so.

I am not sure the wheel can be rediscovered many more times but definitely check out Kris's work from around 2010-2012 around q-connection and streaming/rpc of chunks of data. Promises themselves have roots in this and there are better formats for this.

Check our mark miller's E stuff and thesis - this stuff goes all the way back to the 80s.
