Cap'n Web: a new RPC system for browsers and web servers

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-13 09:05:32

12 min read Allow us to introduce Cap'n Web , an RPC protocol and implementation in pure TypeScript. Cap'n Web is a spiritual sibling to Cap'n Proto , an RPC protocol I (Kenton) created a decade ago, but designed to play nice in the web stack. That means: Like Cap'n Proto, it is an object-capability protocol. ("Cap'n" is short for "capabilities and".) We'll get into this more below, but it's incredibly powerful. Unlike Cap'n Proto, Cap'n Web has no schemas . In fact, it has almost no boilerp

Be careful with Go struct embedding

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-13 20:16:08

Go has a feature called struct embedding that allows you to compose types. It looks something like this: type Position struct { X int Y int } type Colour struct { R byte G byte B byte } type Rectangle struct { Position Colour Width int Height int } r := Rectangle { } fmt . Printf ( "%d,%d " , r . Position . X , r . Position . Y ) fmt . Printf ( "%d,%d " , r . X , r . Y ) But what do you think this code does? type FooService struct { URL string } type BarConnectionOptions struct { URL string

Tell the EU: Don't Break Encryption with "Chat Control"

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-14 07:01:20

The European Union is pushing a dangerous surveillance law called “Chat Control” that would force tech companies to scan everyone’s private messages — even those protected by end-to-end encryption. This proposal would force tech companies to use “client-side scanning” — so your private messages, photos, and files could be read before you send them, opening the door for hackers, corporations, and governments to spy on your data. If passed, Chat Control won’t just weaken privacy — it will change

What's the limit of what can be in a TXT record? Some places say 255 bytes. They are wrong. Within a TXT record there are multiple character-strings (RFC 1035 section 3.3.14) and those are limited in length (because a single byte is used for their length), however there can be many of them. The actual limit is limited by the size of the DNS payload, which for UDP is these days around 1232 bytes. That is obviously quite low.

A slew of people are reporting that the Starbucks app is completely broken.

The problem is that even after you have completed the survey, it still doesn’t let you in: it just loops back to the survey. Twitter user Ike found a workaround
