How RSS beat Microsoft

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-05 07:50:01

People like to tell the story of how VHS beat Betamax because adult film studios backed VHS. It’s a clutch-your-pearls story that says nothing about why these multi-million-dollar businesses picked one format over the other. The real story is that while Betamax tapes had better resolution and fidelity, VHS was cheaper, offered longer recordings, and, most importantly, was the more open format. Not many people talk about how or why RSS won the content syndication war because few people are aware

RSS is awesome

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-20 16:04:01

☀️ RSS is Awesome NetNewsWire is my latest most-used iPhone app. It is a simple, free RSS reader. RSS is an old technology that it seems most people have forgotten about. Here's how it works: you enter a link to an RSS "feed", and your app pulls data from this feed every few minutes or so. When there is a new post from your feed, that post is pulled directly to your app. RSS is really simple, so it is still very well supported. Notably, all substack publications automatically have an RSS fee

Prime Minister of Sweden Dragged for Admitting He Uses ChatGPT to Help Him Make Decisions

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-11-30 16:50:31

Futurists concerned that we are gliding into an AI-fueled dystopia wherein the human race acquiesces its ethical, decision-making, and intellectual powers to a gaggle of corporate algorithms need look no further than Ulf Kristersson to justify their fears. Kristersson, who happens to be the prime minister of Sweden, recently admitted during a Nordic news site that he sometimes asks ChatGPT for a “second opinion” when it comes to his governance strategies. “I use it myself quite often,” Krister

A small web July

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-27 08:41:55

A Small Web July 29 Jun, 2025 I am putting this out into the ether to see if anyone wants to join me, in any capacity, in some kind of accountability structure (following each others blogs about this on RSS, a 32-bit Cafe thread, sporadic guestbook/cbox comments, idk!) for spending less time on the corporate web for the month of July. I am interested in seeing how my brain wiring shifts with some new rules and a new month. My (personal) rules for July are: Almost no walled garden social medi

How we tracked down a Go 1.24 memory regression

news.ycombinator.com Nayef Ghattas 2026-01-02 03:02:41

When Go 1.24 was released in early 2025, we were eager to roll it out across our services. The headline feature—the new Swiss Tables map implementation—promised reduced CPU and memory overhead. Our story begins while the new version was being rolled out internally. Shortly after deploying it to one of our data-processing services, we noticed an unexpected memory usage increase: We observed the same pattern, a ~20% increase in memory usage, across multiple environments before pausing the rollou

RSS Server Side Reader

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-19 00:11:52

I like the idea of RSS, but none of the RSS readers stuck with me, until I implemented one of my own, using a somewhat unusual technique. There’s at least one other person using this approach now, so let’s write this down. Let me start with a quick rundown of RSS, as the topic can be somewhat confusing. I am by no means an expert; my perspective is amateur. The purpose of RSS is to allow blog authors to inform the readers when a new post comes out. It is, first and foremost, a notification mec
