Some parts of Canada inexplicably used "gaol" for "jail" until fairly recently. For example, the "Headingley Gaol" near Winnipeg. The jail has been renamed to Headingley Correctional Center, but the road to it is still Gaol Road, preserving the linguistic curiosity.

Fellow Winnipeger here! I remember driving by that sign as a kid and being baffled by that word.

React Server Components always felt uncomfortable to me because they make it hard to look at a piece of JavaScript code and derive which parts of it are going to run on the client and which parts will run on the server.
It turns out this introduces another problem too: in order to get that to work you need to implement some kind of DEEP serialization RPC mechanism - which is kind of opaque to the developer and, as we've recently seen, is a risky spot in terms of potential security vulnerabilities.
I'm no javascript framework expert, but how vulnerable do people estimate other frameworks like Angular, Sveltekit and Nuxt to be to this sort of thing? Is React more disposed to be at risk? Is it just because there are more eyes on React due to its popularity?

This title is moderately clickbait-y and comes with a subtle implication that Rust might be getting removed from the kernel. IMO it should be changed to "Rust in the kernel is no longer experimental"
I think on HN, people generally want the submission's title to match the page's title.
(I do agree it's clickbait-y though)

What people miss is that vibe coding actually is coding, except the code are your prompts and the LLM is the compiler.
The problem here is that human languages are terrible programming languages and LLMs are terrible compilers.

You've stated in a previous comment that non-US citizens can be denied entry to the United States if border officers request access to your phone and you decline to do so.
... but what about when non-US citizens leave the US?
For example, as a Canadian, if I'm down in the US and, on my way back up to Canada, a US border officer requests access to my phone and I decline... what happens then?
