Similar topic explored in videos from a friend of mine I call the "Adventure Game sommelier," because he's played so many of them and can recommend you one for precisely your needs. The first

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOPiSYUSrQ0

and the second, which is one of my favorite videos of all time (if you only watch one, I'd pick this one)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMVl5U3SlS0

I think he mentions Old Man Murray's piece in the second!

the reality is people need to feed themselves, and sometimes a job that feels shitty is better than no job. I’m sure you know that, i just point it out to say “it’s ok”. They signed up for that job because they need it. It’s not slave labor.

If you feel guilty about the class difference, then do what i do, and tip very generously. I like to leave $100 tip on the bed for housekeeping (at fancy hotels) upon checkout. Tip your taxi / uber well. you get the idea.

Their video explains it way further and is worth a watch.suprisingly captivating. (You can select no and view it without paying)

As an outside observer, I believe that it's dangerous to disregard the threat of a dismantling of the democratic system. The current administration seem to have little regards for any traditions or rules of law, and is actively targeting governmental institutions that limit how they can wield their power.

Democracy is not some magic spell that will bring the administration back to normality. Democracy only works as long as all players continue to act as if democratic decisions are binding. The executive branch have already shown they are more than willing to go against the judicial branch. They could do the same with the legislative branch. Questioning the legitimacy of elections, or actively rigging elections, is a possible next step in the same playbook.

We should focus on how the actions of the current administration work as means to consolidate their power. A powerful minority can rule over a majority, as long as their keys to power are upheld.

News from the time [0], certainly suggests that regulation was the cause, rather than synthetics being "better".

> The trouble involved the cooling unit for the automatic transmission oil, which is placed in the car's radiator. The fittings between the cooling unit and the radiator gave no trouble when whale oil was the fluid, but the substitute allowed the fittings to corrode. That permitted the oil to get into the radiator's cooling system and the radiator's antifreeze to get into the transmission.

Are “freedom of speech” and “due process” not American fundamental values? It seems to me that the people hostile to fundamental values are the masked ICE officers kidnapping random, harmless people from the street and moving them to a different state before the judge had the chance to order them to not do that.

Or did Trump add “disregard for human decency” and “imposing widespread fear through arbitrary state violence” to the list of fundamental values with one of his executive decisions?

I grew up in a "developing country". Our family travel was limited to around 200km radius. The first time I went somewhere with only a friend that was like 1,000km, I felt the same as you describe! It was like going to another planet. People had very different accents and liked different types of music, different food etc. In my 20's, though, I managed to migrate to a rich country and started meeting people from all over the world. I met people who spent 6 months in each country, more or less, and had been to like 20 countries in the last few years alone. These were not millionaires, they were young backpackers who did small jobs to pay for their travels. I did not even know that kind of thing was possible at the time. This changed my perspective and after a few years I started doing the same! Went everywhere I could, staying on backpacker hostels. Like many others are saying, it gets tiring after a while. Today, like top commenter, I prefer to stay at the Fours Seasons (or whatever 5-start hotel is available) and just get slightly off the beaten track... but I still want to talk to the locals and try to experience as much as possible the local culture as it is still illuminating to me.

I am not exactly sure, but comparing Ferron 1.0.0-beta5 and Caddy 2.9.1 in a benchmark where HTTPS, HTTP/2 are enabled, and default Apache httpd page was served, Caddy used so much memory, that at 12,600 requests per second the system with 16 GB RAM ran out of memory, while Ferron didn't use that much memory, and benchmark succeeded up to 20,000 requests per second. Maybe it's a bug in Caddy?

Discovery is a great album but what this article misses is that Daft Punk, like a lot of electronic artists, heavily used samples.

I couldn’t find anything on the samples used in Something About Us specifically, but chances are they did sample a few funk tracks to create that.

Discovery is a great album. And the anime story that runs through the album is a delight to watch too.

Angular is powerful and modern framework for secured and standard that provides almost every basic developers needs in one package, from form validators, Rxjs library, PWA integration and lots more. However, it also gives room fr integrating other API such as Recaptcha (the main concern of this article). Hence, i will be putting you through on how to integrate reCaptcha to angular (v8) and how to validate at backend with nodejs.

>The solution's so obvious it's a farce. Just go back to what we were doing before! Global trade used to be expensive, and a lack of global trade seems to be a big piece of the puzzle as to why the economy was the way it was back then

Global trade became cheap with the advent of modern container ships and their containers. This happened well before the decline of the industrial base in the 1980s

It really came from lack of investments in the sector and poor industrial policy.
Ask HN: Is it worth building a non-AI software company?

I have a product idea around cloud security and I have been working on it for the past few months. Quit my job about 4 months ago to work on it full time.

But lately, I am getting distracted because I keep wondering that whatever I am building can be built by anyone with the help of AI. Moreover, I see big companies launching AI models focusses around cyber security. for ex: the sec-gemini model released yesterday by google.

I can't shake the feeling that I am not building anything novel and someone with basic software engineering background can replicate the idea with the help of AI.

what are your thoughts on it?
by vkou | 2025-04-05 07:28:39+00:00
People certainly thought they were still living in one in 1996 and 2000, but there was no golden path out of it. The press was fully compromised, the security apparatus was in the hands of one man, and parliament was an irrelevant sideshow.

But you can't see any of this, when you're on the inside looking out - and you can't be certain of it when you're on the outside looking in.

No. His policies are all aimed at fighting China.

- He wants to choke them with tariffs (and now has leverage to get the rest of the world to join in).

- They want Greenland to defend the North

- He wants to onshore manufacturing as a strategic wartime capability

Once you understand this, his policies make sense.

And the whole business of putting tariffs on everywhere is so countries can't export from them to evade the tariffs.

So because of this he seems to think effects on markets will be a one time correction that's worth the cost (not to mention is probably shorting it to pieces)

I have (re)installed it recently and I can't find the apps backup. The only backup that seems to run in settings is the coolify instance backup.

Moreover I don't see a way to restore a coolify hosted app from the gui (couldn't find one in the doc too). The documentation around traefik and caddy is lackink a bit. It seems they want you to expose the coolify server directly on the internet. I prefer to host my services behind a cloudflare tunnel and it was a bit janky to setup.

It's low maintenance and stable and certainly has come a long way since I tried it about 2 years ago but there is still many improvements to make.

With all due respect, and I understand that you probably mean well, but did 2 different people write this?

You're drawing the line at things that are already happening. Legal citizens are being put into literal camps (the fact it's a modern warehouse or a Salvadorian prison doesn't make it less of a camp) solely based on their appearance.

He's blatantly making moves to enrich himself (see meme coins, tariff back and forward, etc), and unless you live under a rock, the collateral damage should be clear to you now. He's constantly lying when he speaks and I'm sure an educated person as yourself can see that.

You say the other side was more dangerous long in the long term, and although I don't like either side either, it was clear which side was still progress.

You somehow got into a mental state where you're able to trust someone to do things in good will and at the same time say that he's "not a nice man".

You support what is being done, and at the same time you say you don't understand it and you admit it's possible he doesn't either.

Please, take a second to think why billionaires of all people, would be interested in doing anything that doesn't benefit them. They're billionaires because they spent their life doing just that, they don't care about you and I.

You're clinging to the hope that maybe what they're doing somehow benefits you, but you're not even sure how that would happen.

> VI don't really get why people feel the need to repeatedly accelerate up and then slam on the brakes, when leaving reasonable gaps makes everything go smoother.

My feeling observing some drivers: because they feel like if they leave a gap of more than 110% of a width of an average car (which is way below reasonable, not to mention safe), some idiot will immediately slot themselves into that gap. Which shouldn't even matter to them, but somehow they prefer to not leave a gap than to risk another take it.

I’m definitely not qualified to answer this.

I would like to say, from my perspective, that it seems to not matter how “good”, even “exceptional”, business listed on the stock market do; the outcome is hostile and negative to the customer/consumer. Costs have only gone up, dramatically so. In my case; entirely disproportionate to, if any, income increase coming in.

Market does good. Market does exceptional. The experience has generally been negative?

Market does bad? I expect a lot of us can connect the dots, and will no doubt be impacted again.

Maybe the market, in my perspective; is not a beneficial experience.

All glyphs are indistinguishable from Source Sans. The 'thin'/'light' weights are kerned further apart (and in my opinion, worse) than in Source Sans.

Given these, why does this typeface deserve a new name? It is Source Sans, full stop.

At least Arial (Helvetica copy) and Segoe UI and Myriad (Frutiger copies) have a handful of distinguishing glyphs.

I have a very hot take—with typefaces, you absolutely get what you pay for. I don't like the vast majority of SIL Open Font Licence type faces, with a handful of exceptions. Most of them have glyphs that are an absolute eyesore, are weighted, sized, hinted, and kerned terribly, don't have any character whatsoever (they're all copies of copies of copies of Helvetica) and don't encode nearly enough glyphs/combining marks in Unicode.

Hint: if I can't type IAST/ISO 15919 without tofu showing up, then the font doesn't have enough Latin glyphs.

The majority of digital fonts are either not hinted at all (which makes them look like crap on low – medium resolution monitors), or appear to be hinted on and for macOS, which doesn't have sub-pixel anti-aliasing, but rather greyscale (i.e. full-pixel) AA. The result looks quite bad on Windows and Linux. It looks bad on macOS in monitors with lower pixel density, too.

I will gladly pay for a well-designed typeface (or by proxy, pay a font database subscription). The effort that designers have to put in to design something new from complete scratch is immense. Designers have to come up with unique glyphs, and then when actually setting up the curves, then have to think about how the typeface will vary along several dimensions: weight, size, display pixel density, print versus display, and so on. It's no wonder that the best fonts cost thousands.

Good fonts that have both character and are immediately legible without being unnecessarily fancy is an extremely fine line to tread and in my opinion only a handful of typefaces have managed to balance all of these through the centuries. Some of my favourites follow.

Sans-serifs include Helvetica, Frutiger, Futura, Myriad, Johnston, Optima, Transport, DIN (and its many variants; my favourite is FF DIN), Ocean Sans, and Segoe UI.

Serifs include Roman-cut (including Trajan), Garamond, Minion, a handful of Didone types, Berkeley Old Style, and Palatino.

Every year, I go on a long winter solo trip. Some trips were incredible, and others felt exactly like what you describe.

The main reason is that I'm leaving a rich home life and quickly miss my people and the things we do together. Every other night a new place and a new hotel room, and a meal alone in a crowd. It feels weird to leave home specifically to get so uncomfortable. The opportunity cost grows, because my roots grow deeper every year.

I'm currently on one of these trips. The last ones felt exactly like what you described, so for this one, I went back to the drawing board.

This time, I dotted the solo journey with people I know. I meet with friends in different places every 7-10 days.

I also slowed waaaay down. This is a motorcycle trip, but I only average 100 km per day. I now have time to linger in cafés. I can read, sketch, or just work for a few hours. I can take the slow, twisty roads across national parks and avoid highways completely. The ride is shorter so I arrive refreshed.

It worked. This is one of the best trip I've taken in years. Above all, it's the first motorcycle trip I consider successful since 2019.

I highly doubt it's caffeine, here in the Nordics we consume an absurd amount of coffee, and don't seem to experience a higher-than-average rate of heart disease in young adults.
Ask HN: Looking to Break into Cybersecurity – Where Do I Start?
by OulaX | 2025-04-05 07:38:13+00:00
I have a degree in Computer Science and currently work as a frontend web developer.

I live in a developing country where there’s no shortage of software developers who build systems for both personal and governmental use. However, many of these systems have serious gaps when it comes to security.

What’s really missing here are skilled cybersecurity specialists. From a career perspective, I see this as an opportunity to grow locally and contribute where there’s a real need.

That said, I’m not sure how or where to begin. I’ve done some research, but getting started in cybersecurity doesn’t seem as straightforward as in other fields.

I’d really appreciate any advice or tips on how to get started and move in the right direction!

"Why does JavaScript get some much hate?"

I don't get it either? I've only used it occasionally but it has always struck me as a really impressive example of what can be built on minimal (minimalist?) foundations. Its semantics can understood in 5 minutes.

It reminds me of Scheme in this regard. Writing an interpreter or compiler for it would be easily within reach of an undergraduate student. Contrast with other currently popular (more respected?) languages like Rust, C++, Java, C# or even Python.

I've only recently been expose to Typescript and again, I'm really impressed. I haven't encountered a type system so elegant and orthogonal since first being exposed to ML like languages.

You have a vivid imagination. The facts do not necessarily support what you claimed.

Occam's razor requires an adequate accounting of the facts, not speculation.

All you have mentioned is speculation, and the facts you have mentioned don't support this narrative, neither when you first mentioned it, nor now.

You misused it, and trying to falsely justify that you didn't is deluding yourself.

Compared with Yomitan, a couple quick differences that come to mind:

- Manabi tracks the words and kanji you've read to show you which are new to you, and which you have as flashcards. You can see this visually on the page, and in a vocab listing

- Review flashcards that appear in whatever you're trying to read. Soon I will also have it auto-review flashcards passively as you read and encounter them naturally

- Add flashcards to Manabi Flashcards or to Anki including AnkiMobile on iOS

- One-tap words to look up instead of mouseover from starting boundary

- Manabi packages reading tools such as RSS, EPUB and soon manga (via Mokuro) with user-editable curated libraries of content. Yomitan is less of a standalone-capable tool

I am working on adding Yomitan dictionaries now (to also make the app multilingual) as well as more integrations such as 2-way sync with Anki, WaniKani, JPDB

I think Jidoujisho has a lot of similarities but it's not an iOS/macOS app

I should put up some product comparison material as there are a lot of tools out there

> It fakes having numbers, which works, but has to be slow.

This hasn't been the case for 25 years, since the 8.0 release. Tcl will store data internally in whatever format it was last used, and only convert if needed. Good coding practice pays attention to this to avoid "shimmering" a value back and forth between different internal representations unnecessesarily.

> It lacks arrays;

It does have associative arrays; and lists when used appropriately can fulfil many roles that would otherwise have been implemented in an array in another language

And tcllib[0], a collection of utilities commonly used with tcl, provides support for a number of different and complex data structions [1], many of which are written in C, not just more tcl scripts.

It's worth noting that Stallman's criticism linked above is more than three decades out of date. As with any programming tool, once you go beyond a superficial understanding of basic syntax, it can serve as a a very expressive and sufficient language.

ChatGPT keeps a memory of facts about your circumstances, gleaned from what you reveal in chats you have with it, so I thought it might be instructive to show the kind of picture it has drawn about my circumstances.

I also found the analysis insightful, in terms of explaining the factors behind the systemic discrimination, and somwhat comforting as I deal with very stressful situations in my life. I thought it might also be interesting for others to get a window into a slice of my experiences.

I think it’s important to humanize these policies and reveal their real-world impact. It’s easy to create a new restriction, rule, or mandate with the stroke of a pen — or support one at the ballot box — precisely because you don’t have to witness the consequences firsthand. That’s why I believe it’s crucial for people to see how a policy affects even just one person, so they can begin to grasp the human cost when that experience is multiplied across the hundreds of thousands of people affected.

So why the tariff on Taiwan, and why alienate Canada? Is European support not strategically useful?

Who buys American weaponry to fund American military industry when countries don't trust us?

Why would he create the grounds for civil unrest here, which would make decisive military action much harder?

How can we have leverage when other countries are dealing with an O(1) problem while we are dealing with O(N) harm to our economy?

Why abandon Ukraine, a country in a very similar position to Taiwan?

Why talk about ethnically cleansing Gaza, ceding the human rights high ground?

I'm doing a similar thing (not could security though), similar thoughts try to surface.

If you're trying to build a business, only a small part of it is about generating code. Sticking with it and developing a good product is where you make the difference. I've built many things in a couple of weeks of coding, but then given up when faced with the hard work of making it a solid business.

My other thought is.. There are always others coding faster than me, writing better web copy, doing sales more successfully, etc. You/we pick AI as a threat because we understand it, but a good sales person is just as much of a threat to your idea.

We all have technical/skills advantages and disadvantages. In the successful startups I worked in these were not that important in the end. It was just about keeping going, every day. Relentless optimisim that you're right.

They buy cheap. A lot of what is cheap is from abroad. Also, cheap domestically produced goods use foreign materials or parts. If the steel price goes up, everything from the steel goes up too. The tariffs are supposed to offset tax breaks for rich people. In their current form, they are basically tax on consumers.

Mexico has old tariffs in place, they did not got an out. They do not have new tariffs put on them on top of previous tariffs. Even domestic foods can go up when fertilizers used to grow them are more expensive. Or when transportation is more expensive.

China did not just "eat the tariff". First, tariff is paid by domestic consumer, foreign company is not paying that. Second, China announced retaliatory tariffs.
