A backpack or messenger bag are almost always treated as a personal item. The only time is if they're too large to be a personal item and get upgraded, or if you bring two items when they limit you to one personal item + one carry-on -- then they usually treat the smaller one as a personal item. It's generally safe to assume unless it's one of those 40L packs, it's a personal item, but check your airline's dimension and weight limits for personal items.
I bought a $2 rice cooker at a yard sale in 2020. Changed my life, yes really. Rice ALWAYS turns out well. I don't know why I bothered to make it on the stove before.
For what I hack on I often run into issues with the FFI performance between go/c# <-> c/c++. I’d rather not write C or C++ and Rust is one of the few languages that allows me to mess around with obscure libs at native performance and yet slap a web interface in front of it. cxx/bindgen is stellar in how fast they allow you to wrap libraries. These cases is where I would want like the simplest most opinionated web framework (like gin in Go).
Have you had real success with cxx? I've been trying to FFI a C++ lib (that I have limited control over) and it's been a real PITA. At this point I'm thinking of just making a pure-c interface for what I want on the C++ side and using C bindgen or just straight "extern C" because C++ FFI seems so painful.
FFI can be a source of performance issues in Go but not in C# (at least not to the same extent), unless you go out of your way to fight the happy path approach.
Sometimes you do have to rethink what you marshal vs what you just manage manually, but that’s what pointers are for (that can be turned into ref Ts for single values and into Span<T>s for slices/arrays/etc). The idea is that performance ceiling of FFI in .NET is as cheap as direct calls.
This does seem a nice feature and definitely a step in the right direction but why use e2ee for video and audio but not chat? That's afterall where most of Discords activity is happening
Because E2EE causes an absolute ton of friction to the chat experience. Stuff that you expect to just work like chat history and searching no longer works.
Haven't used WhatsApp but presumably it indexes client-side. On Discord people want to search large servers including messages since before they joined, so this approach wouldn't really work.
This is unhinged and I love every part of it! Apart from the repo having an attitude I often miss from the modern internet I also learnt something reading the code on how FUSE works!
Hey Sean, we both worked at Twitch Video but I left just as you were joining. I currently work on the Discord video stack and am somewhat curious about how you imagine Discord leveraging WHIP/WHEP. Do you see it as a way for these clients to broadcast outwards to services like Twitch or more as an interoperability tool?
Users what to send WHIP into discord. The lack of control on screen sharing today is frustrating. Users want to capture via another tool and control bitrate/resolution.
Most Broadcast Box users tell me that’s their reason for switching off discord.

With WHEP I want to see easier co-streaming. I should be able to connect a room to my OBS instance and everyone’s video auto show up.
I don’t have this figured out yet. Would love your opinion and feedback. Wanna comment on the doc or would love to talk 1:1 ! siobud.com/meeting
What's the plan for Wayland compatibility? For a little while I was able to share a single app - but not the full desktop. Now I can't share anything from Ubuntu 24.04 when using Wayland :(
Fun to see this posted this on HN (I am the author!). Happy to answer any questions. I think the general question I didn't really touch on is "why" and really the only answer for that is "why not?"
The author ends the review by saying “AVP is the superior product” so I find it hard to agree with your take. The information presented clearly shows the tradeoffs that Apple has chosen with their displays. It’s left up to the reader to decide if that’s a subjectively more enjoyable experience but from the objective viewpoint, the article does a good job at showcasing the drawbacks.
The Cyberpower series sold at Costco is unironically good. No frills or cool stuff, UI from 1995 but supports USB monitoring out of the box and just… works. I was about to make the brother comparison but after reading your entire comment realize you already did it.
Just FYI, Cyberpower, at least for their consumer line, use problematic yellow glue[1] which becomes brittle over time and can become conductive, causing arcing/fire hazards[2][3]. There was also a prior HN discussion about it[4], with some similar experiences.
It can be removed[5], with some effort, though. Given its use in various electronics it wouldn't surprise me if some other UPSes use it, though have only seen discussions about Cyberpower.
