Would you pay for a service that reduced the HTTP requests produced by your multimedia? This process results in faster load times.

I'm interested in tech R&D. Please share your story about selling or licensing intellectual property (in this case code-based IP). Was it a net positive? Would you do something differently if you had the chance? Thanks…

Is there an existing solution that retrieves n-images with a single request? Rather than an individual request for each image? Note: I am familiar with HTTP2 multiplexing.

Streaming data would allow for "browser-based applications" (e.g. single request/refresh-less web applications). Why is the standard approach still transactional?

Afternoon HN, I may have rather serendipitously implemented HTTP/3 support for a Flask-like CMS. Does HTTP/3 reduce server requests by concatenating multi-resource requests into a single request conveyed through a…

After reading a few "Who wants to be hired" threads, I began wondering... How do you measure/benchmark your knowledge/skillset? This has been a long-term pain point for me. Given the prevalence of "imposter syndrome", I…

Dear Halo member, At Amazon, we think big, experiment, and invest in new ideas like Amazon Halo to delight our customers. While we are proud of what we built, we recently made the difficult decision to stop supporting…

Morning HN. I've struggled charting my path towards new skills. I have two problems; one of which is specific and the other more general. With so many new tools, approaches, niches... how do you decide which is worth…

Long story short, I had fiber installed yesterday and it's impressive for $60/m. Download - 946 MBPS Upload - 944 MBPS (tested with speedtest.net)

Morning HN, I'm getting fiber Internet installed next week. It offers 1gbps up + down with no caps for $60/m. I saw an article about apps that pay about $0.20 per GB of bandwidth which makes the fiber connection worth…

HTTP1 is almost entirely bot traffic. Some of these bots are good, most are not. Why hasn't everyone switched HTTP1 to an "authorized traffic" model?

Morning HN. I'm looking to programmatically identify bots to serve 403s rather than content. For this project, an 80% reduction would be considered successful. Search bots will still retain access to content. HTTP…

Yesterday, I built a fully functional OODB prototype called Objective DB with Python. I will soon deploy it as a (post/page) storage solution on a custom/self-hosted CMS for testing. Does anyone have any experience…

What do you think about the phrase "prompt engineering"? Does issue with phrasing demonstrate arbitrary gatekeeping?

Short Clip: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/DFi03pC_lt0 I recently bought a GSM Modem to build a local SMS service. The modem interface is written in Python and implements and processes raw Hayes (AT) commands/response.…

Does anyone have experience participating in or proctoring surveys/polls through text message? I'm interested in hearing about your experience. The good, bad, ugly, and outcome. I'm finishing a custom SMS API and…

Morning all. I'm looking for a lightweight text editor to write (words not code) with. I love PyCharm's system for adding quotes or parentheses around highlighted/selected blocks of text. I don't want to use a full IDE…

I'm starting to work with C and would like to build a webserver. I've found a few interesting writeups but would love to hear from the community. What's your favorite book/post/lecture/whatever? I'd also be interested…
