Is there a Quantized version of this?

We're back in the IE era (now with chrome and other browsers) where websites are bloated with ton of js, css, websockets, background services hogging memory.

May be its time for browser vendors to show the consumption (right now they show memory usage) by features i.e background service, websockets, etc.,

With option to disable background service workers.

They should probably add these use case and copy in there so that the vulnerable enable it.

You're right, ICANN should archive the namespace as it-is without removing the TLD from the root server and registry. Similar to an wayback archive version for domain names.

On the other hand .su (soviet union) is still in use.

It is very unfortunate ICANN still hasn't address this issue yet. Although not yet, .io is in a similar situation with even larger domains active but the territory is changing hands from britain to mauritius.

World is connected by Internet, it needs to be preserved even after geo politics and borders change.

It's also confusing.

Are we supposed to enable Lockdown mode always or only we enable manually when we think we're under attack?

According to instructions in settings, it is supposed to be enabled when under attack, isn't it too late already?

What are we missing...

To start with, for qualifying the chat it's okay for a chatbot to ask some quick questions so that it can connect with the right person.

Forcing a customer anything beyond that is RUDE!

Your post already clearly covers the reason.

It is easy to crank out a one-off, flashy tool using Claude (to demo its capabilities), which may tick 80% of the development work.

If you've to maintain it, improve, grow for the long haul, good luck with it. That's the 20% hard.

They took the safe bet!

Data is the new oil or gold, SQL is the tool, the language to interact with it.

Put it together, it's pure gold!

New comment by namegulf in "Ask HN: How valuable is a domain like messenger.new?"

namegulf — Mon, 08 Dec 2025 18:51:02 +0000

There are over 1593 TLDs in 2025 (https://namegulf.com/tld) as of this writing and it's only growing.

ICANN has even more lined up for 2026 approvals.

As a domain marketplace the pattern we see is, when it comes to business .com is king, the more the TLDs .com is only gaining even more importance.

However we're also seeing new TLDs like .new are used as shortcuts.

Google uses doc.new for new google docs, adobe using create.new for adobe express, etc.,

Don't we have JNI for that?

ant, buldr, gradle and maven - are build tools

we're talking about native code here

Wondering the benefits and how is this different from using GraalVM to build native images?

For eg. we could use Spring + Graal VM and get the application into native binaries without worrying too much about the low level stuff.

What are we missing?

It depends on the project, architect and the resource pool in the company.

Rule of thumb: Do not enter anything that is proprietary into that prompt text box!

Yes that includes credentials.

The #1 point doesn't make much sense. Using robots and ai to overcome loneliness, fight dementia will make it worse.

More human connection, social interaction, relationships, etc., is required not less.
