How I Accidentally Made My Link Shortener into a Malware Honeypot
I just made up `blogger.com` as an example. I probably could have picked a better one. `blogspot.com` & its many TLD variations are on the list.
It looks like the repo where the list is maintained [1] is pretty active. YMMV, I'm not a maintainer or anything..

Ask HN: How does HN determine the site that a submission belongs to?
There's the Public Suffix List https://publicsuffix.org/ but it's limited to domain names, so your github.com/rails example isn't covered. I'm pretty sure HN simply has a manually coded list of URL patterns for popular domains.

Government URLs that don't end in .gov
Browsers use the public suffix list to determine cookie scope. You can even get your own domains added to it.

See this page fetch itself, byte by byte, over TLS
Are you sure? Looking at their website[1] I see:
> Highlight the most important part of a domain name in the user interface
Which is my suggestion above.
> If you are using it for something else, you are encouraged to tell us, because it helps us to assess the potential impact of changes
Which sounds cautiously supportive of additional use cases.

Adsense is bringing a bunch of policy changes that affect how your sites are monetized
Furthermore, what constitutes a "Site" will also change henceforth. You can only add a primary domain (such as example.com) and the subdomains which are listed on the public suffix list (such as github.io, blogspot.com, etc.). Thus, your own subdomains (such as xyz.example.com or www.example.com) won't be allowed in Adsense.

Chromium's impact on root DNS traffic (2020)
> In fact I think Firefox would have to implement a similar approach if it were popular enough
They implement an omnibox that works well. Why would they need to do this if they were more popular? I suppose they use the domain suffix list for this. It's probably not bulletproof, but it works well enough and doesn't hammer the root DNS servers.

Bun, JavaScript, and TCO
To use this in Bun, you’d have to start Bun with the environment variable “BUN_JSC_useDollarVM=1” and then $vm.createBuiltin(mySourceCodeString)
When using this intrinsic, if any of the arguments are incorrect or it cannot otherwise enable it, the entire process will probably crash. In debug builds of JSC it will have a nicer assertion failure but that is not enabled in release builds
Example code: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/17351231b4dedb62d81721...
also happy to answer any questions about Bun

Show HN: Rem: Remember Everything (open source)
Ah, good, let me introduce you to the wonderful world of the Chrome Devtools Protocol! (fka Chrome Remote Debugging Protocol)
I love this API for almost everything browser related. I built my RBI product atop this (BrowserBox: https://dosyago.com), and I think it's a drastically underrated API.
Also, it works out of the box in Edge, Brave, Chromium, and many parts of CRDP are supported by Firefox and Safari^1
