Rearchitecting GitHub Pages (2015)

news.ycombinator.com Hailey Somerville 2025-10-03 15:21:12

GitHub Pages, our static site hosting service, has always had a very simple architecture. From launch up until around the beginning of 2015, the entire service ran on a single pair of machines (in active/standby configuration) with all user data stored across 8 DRBD backed partitions. Every 30 minutes, a cron job would run generating an nginx map file mapping hostnames to on-disk paths. There were a few problems with this approach: new Pages sites did not appear until the map was regenerated (p

If we can find information by asking GenAI, who needs the Web?

news.ycombinator.com Moshe Y. Vardi 2025-10-29 00:06:59

The World Wide Web (Web) emerged as a new medium in the mid-1990s. It was invented by Tim Berners-Lee at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in 1989, but its exploding popularity was also enabled by the release of the Mosaic Web browser in 1993 and the Internet becoming commercially available in 1995. A communication revolution was launched. Roughly 30 years later, the release of ChatGPT by OpenAI in Nov. 2022 launched another revolution. High-quality generation of natural-lan

Notion gains offline mode, but it’s not quite automatic

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-11-04 18:21:18

Notion has introduced a long-awaited feature, adding offline mode to the AI-powered project hub. However, documents don’t just work offline by default. Instead, Notion has designed offline mode to be, well, a separate mode. It needs to be enabled manually for each document you want to access without an internet connection. For some subscriber tiers, offline mode can apply to certain documents without flipping the toggle, but there are still some parameters to be familiar with in the new system.

Making Postgres slower

news.ycombinator.com Jacob Jackson 2025-12-20 22:12:59

July 27, 2025 Everyone is always wondering how to make Postgres faster, more efficient, etc, but nobody ever thinks about how to make Postgres slower. Now, of course, most of those people are being paid to focus on speed, but I am not (although, if you wanted to change that, let me know). As I was writing a slightly more useful guide, I decided someone needed to try to create a Postgres configuration optimized to process queries as slowly as possible. Why? I am not sure, but this is what came o

It's time for modern CSS to kill the SPA

news.ycombinator.com Jono Alderson 2025-12-21 12:08:00

It’s time for modern CSS to kill the SPA Native CSS transitions have quietly killed the strongest argument for client-side routing. Yet people keep building terrible apps instead of performant websites. The app-like fallacy “Make it feel like an app.” At some point during the scoping process, someone says the words. A CMO. A digital lead. A brand manager. And with that single phrase, the architecture is locked in: it’ll be an SPA. Probably React. Maybe Vue. Almost certainly deployed on Verce

Cloudflare CEO says people aren't checking AI chatbots' source links

engadget.com Unknown 2026-03-01 08:00:16

Companies that develop generative AI always make it a point to say that they include links to websites in the answers that their chatbots generate for users. But Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince has revealed to Axios that search traffic referrals keep plummeting. Publishers are facing an existential threat, he said, because people aren't clicking through those chatbot links and are relying more and more on AI summaries without digging deeper.
