There is no free lunch, especially in app publishing

2009, mobile networks class. We were studying how TCP handles packets lost over 3G: the network detects the loss, replays the packet, and the transfer survives a radio link that drops things all the time. Someone asked the obvious question: why not just make the radio link reliable in the first place? The professor's answer became the soundtrack of that semester: there is no free lunch. Reliability over 3G is not free, it is paid for in retransmissions, latency and battery. The cost never disapp...

IEC 61850 Security Research: From SCL and MMS to GOOSE, Sampled Values, and the Process Bus

By RUGERO Tesla ( @404Saint ). IEC 61850 is another one of those protocols that becomes more interesting the deeper you go. At first glance, it looks like another industrial protocol to dissect: identify the transport, decode the messages, enumerate the data model, and look for places where authentication or authorization is missing and that description turns out to be inadequate. IEC 61850 is an ecosystem of communication models rather than a single protocol. MMS operates over the st...

CSS :open Is Baseline 2026: Style Open UI States with One Selector

Web interfaces contain several elements that can be open or closed: disclosure widgets, dialogs, select pickers, date inputs, and color pickers. Historically, styling those states required different selectors. A disclosure could use details[open] , while native picker state often had no equivalent general selector. The CSS :open pseudo-class provides one semantic selector for elements that are currently in an open state. MDN marks it Baseline 2026 Newly available since May 2026 across t...

Show HN: What differentiates developers when we all use AI?

I am a developer with more than 10 years in the IT industry. I like to code because I get the feeling that it makes me sharper. Unfortunately, I am no longer getting this feeling because of the rise of LLMs. We are all, more or less, using the same LLMs. So I am no longer sure what the difference is between me and other developers. Before, I was proud of the quality of work that I did and the speed at which I was able to deliver it. Now I am just a reviewer of the code that was generated by the ...
