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.


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...


You’re supposed to enable it if you’re important enough to potentially be the target of an attack. Political dissidents, journalists, government officials, HNWIs with a bunch of cryptocurrency and so on should probably have it on always.

You’re welcome to turn it on even if you’re not in one of these groups, just accept that it increases the friction of using your phone in a bunch of little ways.


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

It's time to change the name from Hacker News to Human News, let's go!


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!


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.,


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?


This article specifically discusses calling external C ABI libraries via the FFM API.

GraalVM is for compiling JVM bytecode to native, architecture-specific binaries.

FFM is like "[DllImport]" in .NET, or "extern" definitions in other languages.

The article shows how to auto-generate JVM bindings from C headers, and then allocate managed memory + interact with externally linked libs via the FFM API passing along said managed memory.


BTW: We (the GraalVM team) maintain a full-blown LLVM bitcode runtime that can be embedded in Spring or any other JVM application and compiled to native: https://github.com/oracle/graal/tree/master/sulong


May as well throw the Native Image C API for FFM-like capabilities out there too

https://www.graalvm.org/latest/reference-manual/native-image...

One of the neatest things I've been able to do is compile a .dll library "plugin" for an application which loads plug-ins by invoking a special exported symbol name like "int plugin_main()" using GraalVM and @CEntryPoint

The entrypoint function starts a Graal isolate via annotation params and no native code was needed


Don't we have JNI for that?


people still use make for things. how many stand-alone utilities require npm?

i don't know graalvm, but I've used too much ant, buldr, gradle and maven. I'm not really convinced Graal VM would make anything better just because you are more familiar with it.

The author even says to just use what you like because that part doesn't matter.


ant, buldr, gradle and maven - are build tools

we're talking about native code here


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