nickphx commented on SPA vs. Hypermedia: Real-World Performance Under Load   zweiundeins.gmbh/en/metho... · Posted by u/todsacerdoti

It's a nice article about a topic I care a lot about (the need for rediscovering hypermedia, and about the magnificent Datastar library/framework).

But I fear that the comparison is less SPA vs Hypermedia than a specific nextjs app on vercel versus a specific php app on a vps. And that people will justifiably give people reason to dismiss the whole thing outright.

If anyone is inclined to do that, I really urge you to look at Datastar's website and examples to see what it is capable of.

Also to read infrequently.org for far more about spa (especially react) vs hypermedia + progressive enhancement.

The underlying architecture matters little when the SPA requires several seconds of main thread work after downloading various "blobs" of minified java script..

You know you're having a real impact when you have to self-report on the impact you're having.

So I tested out the extension.. First the extension spammed me with "login required".. So I click the notification to be taken to a login page.. Great? Now I have to create an account and verify a link.. Now I can test how great this is against a "fresh" facebook phishing page being actively promoted via Facebook Ads..

hxxps://r7ouhcqzdgae76-fsc0fydmbecefrap.z03.azurefd.net/new2/?utm_medium=paid&utm_source=fb&utm_id=6900429311725&utm_content=6900429312725&utm_t erm=6900429314125&utm_campaign=6900429311725

The "extension" did a "scan". {"url":"https://r7ouhcqzdgae76-fsc0fydmbecefrap.z03.azurefd.net/new2..."}

response: {"classification":"clean"}

great work?

If I click "Deep scan".. I see a screenshot blob being sent over.. response: { "classification": "phish", "reasons": [ "Our system has previously flagged this webpage as malicious." ] }

So if the site were already flagged, why does the "light" scan not show that?

"If you're interested in trying Muninn, it's available as a Chrome extension. We're in an early phase " Domain is less than 4 months old.. Software is "early phase".. Already making misleading marketing claims of usefulness..
nickphx commented on Tell HN: YC companies scrape GitHub activity, send spam emails to users    · Posted by u/miki123211

Martin from GitHub here. This type of behaviour is explicitly against the GitHub terms of service, when we catch the accounts doing this we can (and do) take action against those accounts including banning the accounts. It's a game of whack-a-mole for sure, and it's not just start-ups that take part in this sketchy behaviour to be honest. I've been plenty of examples in my time across the board.

The fundamental nature of Git makes this pretty easy for folks to scrape data from open source repositories. It's against our terms of service and those folks might want to talk with some lawyers about doing it - but as every Git commit contains your name and email address in the commit data it's not technically difficult even if it is unethical.

From the early days we've added features to help users anonymise their email addresses for commits posted to GitHub. Basically, you configure your local Git client to use your 'no-reply' email address in commits and that still links back to your GitHub account when you push: https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/reference/ema...

I think that's still probably the best route. We want to keep open source data as open as possible, so I don't think locking down API's etc is the right route. We do throttle API requests and scraping traffic, but then again there have been plenty of posts here over the years from people annoyed at hitting those limits so it's definitely a balancing act. Love to know what folks here think though.

I get the sentiment, but if you can't acknowledge that AI is useful and currently a lot better than search for a great many things, then it's hard to have a rational conversation.
