Outage - post incident review By Allan Jardine On 29th July 2025, the DataTables.net site had a major outage as a result of an attack. This took out the main site with its examples and documentation, the support forum, and the sub-domains, including, most importantly, the DataTables CDN. Digging into such an event, when something has gone so wrong, is not a fun thing to do, but it is important for me to do so I can learn what I can do better in future, for you so you can understand what happe

About five years ago, I started Reshaped. I built it for myself, since I had a few projects in urgent need of a component library for both React and Figma. Having worked in the design systems space for over a decade, I had developed a clear sense of what a good design system should be — and what tends to go wrong in others. I noticed that no matter how trends evolve, around 80% of the web is still built on the same core design practices. So I set out to build a system that covers that 80%, whil

Why did dlclose not unload the library? (2023)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-14 23:45:06

Recently, at work, we were debugging an issue where dlclose was not unloading the library . You might wonder why that even matters - if your library contains any global symbols, then their state will persist across a dlopen, dlclose sequence. In other words, your library isn’t starting from a clean state every time. In the case we were debugging, this issue manifested in the following fashion: We had two libraries libA and libB and libA dynamically depends on libB. When you dlopen libA, it also

We are a luxury company that is also doing cars.” That’s their differentiator. Their brand. Their “schtick.” And, it works, but not because it’s a marketing ploy.
