I've found just opening a window does the most to make a difference - in most European / US homes (even with propane / gas service) the "exhaust" just blows into the same room or a cabinet!

That said, I personally use the Breathe Airmonitor Plus [1] - I kept having issues with calibration with the temtop unit. Mostly decided on this one since it uses an NDIR sensor similar to my Aranet which I carry with me all the time.

"This system is about achieving the best possible design with the least amount of effort. There’s no need to know about the psychological impact of colors, which fonts are best for which purpose, golden ratios, etc."

Translation: I don't need to know why I am doing anything but hey, it looks okay to my eye, and I didn't spend a lot of effort on it. Now I have more time to write a blog post about it that mostly advertises my app.

> Psychologically, we tend to view things nearer the top as ‘good’ and those lower as ‘bad.’

The oldest maps in the world and in Europe are oriented North at the top and the essential feature in the middle. For the Babylonians it was the Euphrates and Babylon itself. For the Europeans it was the Mediterranean. The implication that everyone sees up/North as better means that generations of Greek or Roman cartographers just accepted that the barbaric northernmost regions of Europe are "better", which is patently false.

Religions that use the cross as a holy symbol also use the Trinitarian formula (In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti, amen) while making the cross. God the Son is the second in the trinity but is put at the bottom of the cross, while God the Holy Spirit is the third yet sits higher. This is also deeply rooted in people's psychology.

So I am not convinced of your argument.

It appears you fundamentally don't understand what mounting the docker socket is doing. I'm sorry to give you homework but you need to go look it up to participate in this conversation.

> The code inside those containers is isolated, which is the whole point.

A container with socket access can replace code or binaries in any other container, read any containers volumes and environment variables, replace whole containers, etc. That does not meet any definition of "isolated"

I am fascinated your comment is buried down here with absolutely no discussion. Money printing is undoubtedly the biggest factor in this particular inflation spike, but something is quietly steering the narrative away from it almost everywhere.

While the question of alternative actions and outcomes is also valid, this is a literal 10-trillion dollar question that nobody in a leadership position wants to ask or answer.

I'm always reading a few books across a categories.

Fiction: Reaper's Gale, book #7 of the fantasy series Malazan Book of the Fallen.

Non-fiction(history): Denmark Vesey’s Garden: Slavery and Memory in the Cradle of the Confederacy

And then I'm dabbling in a few books around the math behind and practical hands-on machine learning/deep learning.

Well if you ever do build it and post it here I bet you’d get a lot of signups. Especially if you built in an easy referral system where people could send mass invites to their friends if they log in through Google for example.

But I actually wonder if you need the “social graph” at all at first. You could start by making it a place where people post jobs and apply for them. The network effects will come later. All you need is maybe a simple algorithm that matches users to postings they might qualify for.

In the United States at least we don't really have privately owned nature property like you might in Sweden. I live in Ohio for example, there's nothing to go see or look at. We have no need for the right to roam. What are you going to do, roam through a cornfield? A parking lot? The woods? The mall? Well you can already do that. We have state parks, local parks, national parks, etc. to get your nature fix and it works very well here, there are no complaints about this whatsoever.

Sometimes Europeans are so convinced that their way of life is better or their policies are the best they forget that sometimes their policies solve problems that don't exist in other countries. There's no need to have a right to roam in America. There's nowhere to roam to, and the places that you would roam to are already owned by the public where you have... the right to roam! Though we are much more strict about natural preservation in those parks which sometimes conflicts with the desires of some to go "off trail", but that's a separate issue.

The UK might be a little different, granted, but the no-true-scotsman approach to someone suggesting they enjoy the UK's right to roam but they can't because the Nordic countries are so much better in this regard is annoying, to say the least.

It is the same argument as with apartheid South Africa; I don't buy it. Even today, 80y after WW2, jews are (rightfully) fighting to return their real estate, etc confiscated during the war. Those exchanged multiple owners, but ultimately get returned to their rightful owners. A stolen house is still a stolen house, no matter if generations or two were born there.

I'm pretty sure everyone here agrees that Israel can not exist on its own. Even with its nuclear capabilities, it's very small country and vulnerable. What do you think a war with Hamas or Iran would last if they don't receive daily shipments of weapons from allies, mainly the US? It's fully dependent on its Western allies; like any other colony, it will eventually collapse when money finally runs out.

The one thing I get from these articles, as I suspect the majority of tech workers on here feel, is that I'm grateful for this to not affect me. I have always shopped for sale items, but I've never had to go to several grocery stores to get the best deal. I've never had to choose a cheap spaghetti meal (since college, anyways) because of price. I'm grateful for this

> That means your words, your updates, and the content you put into this platform, will become training material for the machines that in turn generate more content.

But what kind of content? The fake, AI-generated posts made on my behalf? That's probably not the case. Maybe it's a generic LLM training. Or will we constantly be evaluated and profiled by AI for the purpose of automating any future hiring, eliminating the need for human intervention? What a dystopian outlook. I want humans back.

I think there is a "correct" answer to this question! The best book on Monte Carlo methods is this one: https://artowen.su.domains/mc/

It's not published yet, but already a classic. (Might be more intermediate than beginner, though.)

Show HN: I built Savr – A local first alternative to Pocket
by jonotime | 2025-09-19 13:40:53+00:00
I was a huge Pocket user, even before Firefox entered the picture. But it lacked some features and started to not work well offline. And for my use, I need to be able to read when I don't have internet.

I started working on this over a year ago. This is my third re-write. First was in Kotlin, then Expo, then Tanstack. I've been loving building PWAs, especially local first ones. Savr has a long way to go, but I have been dogfooding it for a while and I hope to get some feedback from yall.

Regulation in Europe mandate that doors have to unlock when airbags are triggered. If the model involved was legal in the EU, it was either a mechanical issue or an electronic one, and maybe not exclusively Tesla's fault, but it was caused by their poor engineering/assembly practices.

If it's in the US and they have no regulations on this, I don't want to be cavalier but they should reflect on their anti-regulation culture, and Tesla does not deserve to be scapegoated (not a fan of the brand, but I try to be consistent).

I have plenty of million dollar plus houses around me selling without any exhaust at all, just a cooktop on an island in the middle of the kitchen, and most of the times it is a gas cooktop! And in 80% of the houses, it's just a shitty microwave exhaust above the range.

So right off the bat, you're down $20k at least to remodel the kitchen so it has proper ventilation, assuming you cook.

Forget the health effects and whatnot, but are people not bothered by cooking smells pervading the house?

Feel bad for the RubyGems community, sending my gratitude and empathy. Ruby was a leap in my career, and i have a soft spot for the language and community

I'll wait for RubyCentral's side on this, but on the face of what's written, these actions do not seem to be transparent or in good faith. Is there something posted from RubyCentral's side?

I wish the Ruby community strength, and a transition over to a community-owned org, one way or another.

If the employees are being paid under the table, they would mean the employers were committing an obvious crime opening the employer to extortion. However, if the employees were Using fake social security numbers, then it would give the employers the benefit of the doubt. It also would mean the employees do pay takes, collected by their employers. From what I’ve heard, the latter is most common.
Show HN: A new open-source browser with Android TEE based enforcement for agents
by sandGorgon | 2025-09-19 13:42:21+00:00
So we contributed our Android TEE based browser enforcement to the community.

the PR is here - https://github.com/wootzapp/wootz-browser/pull/373.

I’ve been deep in the weeds on our browser, and we just merged something that felt worth sharing with this community.

We got Android’s hardware keystore (TEE / StrongBox) working end-to-end so that client certificates are truly non-exportable. The device generates the key inside the secure enclave, we enroll it, issue a device identity cert, and from then on the browser can only present that cert for mTLS handshakes. No chance of stealing or exporting the private key.

The idea is simple: if you want to enforce zero-trust access at the browser level, you need strong device identity. Passwords and tokens leak, but hardware-backed certs with attestation give you a much higher bar. We had to solve for Android quirks, avoid the trap of server-supplied keys, and make sure auto-selection doesn’t leak certs to the wrong sites.

It’s live in our Wootz.app browser

The problem is having to make an item-by-item decision for thousands of items.

If the decision is just "dump", the problem become easy: you strip the house bare and throw it in a dumpster. There was a hoarder house near me that was cleaned out in a couple days that way - they parked a dumpster in the front yard, hired a couple guys to toss everything in the house in garbage bags and toss all the garbage bags in the dumpster, gutted it down to the studs, remodeled it, and sold it.

Modern auth systems do not work by exposing multiple services on a single domain with shared cookies.

Instead, they authenticate using a common auth service (say, auth.google), which by virtue of being a single domain can persist shared cookies for all its consumers. This would yield a valid token (possibly a JWT) that the authenticating application can then use however it would like, including as a cookie on the application's own domain.

Whenever you go to a service that temporarily sends you to a different login domain (often just immediately redirection you back), this is why.
Show HN: I built a distributed key-value store in Rust (~2K LOC)
by el_pa_b | 2025-09-19 13:42:51+00:00
Hi HN,

I built nanokv, a small distributed object/kv store in Rust. This started as a personal learning project to understand distributed systems, concurrency, and Rust at scale, but it evolved into something that’s actually usable:

Architecture: Coordinator (metadata, placement, 2PC) + volume servers (blob storage)

Features: replication, consistency, health checks, repair, rebuild, rebalance, GC

APIs: simple REST (GET/PUT/DELETE)

Ops: verify/repair/rebuild tools, OpenTelemetry tracing, K6 benchmarks

Performance: on my laptop, 64 MB objects sustain ~600–1000 MB/s per stream; aggregate throughput climbs into hundreds of MB/s with replication.

It’s nowhere near the sophistication of MinIO or SeaweedFS, but the code is simple (a few thousand lines), and the focus is on clarity and hackability rather than features.

I learned a lot about backpressure (multi-semaphores for control vs data), streaming I/O, and debugging bottlenecks with tracing. If you’re curious about building storage systems in Rust, the repo has a detailed README and benchmarks.

I’d love feedback:

Does the design make sense?

What would you like to see if this grew beyond a learning project?

Thanks for reading!

Apparently the codename for the prototype language was "Mocha", infinitely better! Even the release name "LiveScript" is much better.

They switched for cynical marketing reasons, riding the "Java" hype, and to flaunt their partnership with Sun. Well, it did make some kind of sense at the time when the scope was much smaller. They had this rough idea of an interpreted lightweight companion to Java, back when lots of backends where build with Java and it was meant to be the frontend counterpart for some limited interactivity in the client. But they never got it properly integrated and they diverged very early.

I’m not sure I see a problem with that definition for disordered grief. To truly experience three of those every day one year on would be debilitating. Having the person pop into your thoughts regularly, forgetting they’re gone etc sounds like normal grief (which is also horrible but not debilitating). I guess I would look at it in the way that people feel depressed and then there are people that can’t get out of bed, keep themselves clean, or go to work. Both suck. One’s a serious clinical issue if it’s not improving.

The sad reality that you had to tell your stance by saying that you donated in this context otherwise people would've considered you an (anti deno?) in this lawsuit...

I think our actions speak louder than words.

Yes, I think we shouldn't spread hate speech and everyone has their own biases.

We should all preferably write comments in good faith hoping to learn something new from the others point of view.

So this was a fresh breath of view as in that I feel like this might be the best way of not literally accusing others but at the same time, I feel like that there might be some malicious actors or people not acting in completely good faith that can be indirectly supported by not accusing anyone y'know?

If somebody is bringing their personal VC sucks vendetta (I hate VC but I mean I can stand behind donations if they are transparent etc.) into a discussion, its not entirely good faith and shouldn't be accused at a (somewhat?) rate.

I think that the situation imo is that deno might have some good people but it would still be better if it wasn't deno suing them but rather some other preferably non profit which we could donate to that can sue it instead.

Maybe (node?)

Most undocumented immigrant laborers actually do pay taxes despite not being able to take advantage of what they are being taxed for (eg. social security).

And there have always been aspects of using undocumented labor that are negative and exploitative and I'm all for the US government making real positive changes in this area, but any policymaker coming at this from a non-racist perspective that wanted to make real changes would do it by fining or charging the people who are hiring the immigrants.

Of course, that's not what the Trump administration has done or will do.

That really is not a backup. You should store things in files (disk images or archives) and media that you control and can checksum. And which you know you can recover from without relying on any service, company, or download being available in the future. Make sure to replicate before the media rots and have redundant copies. That way, digital data can be kept unchanged indefinitely.

> Days before the settlement was announced, record labels had indicated that everyone but the Internet Archive and its founder, Brewster Kahle, had agreed to sign a joint settlement

Does IA have an independent board of directors? If so, why is the board and its members never mentioned in the copyright lawsuits? Most other organizations (nonprofit and corporate) with independent boards would be heavily involved in any major litigation and issuing statements as developments warrant.

I don't see that here - the IA blog post is by a director of library services. The about page (https://blog.archive.org/about/) mentions nothing about a board.

But those containers DON'T have socket access. ONE container has socket access, then it creates other containers WITHOUT socket access. Those containers ARE isolated. Since the untrusted (user provided) code runs in those, the setup is reasonably secure. An RCE in OneDev is an RCE on the host, but that's a completely different threat model. The important part is that user code is isolated, which it is.

>Yes, you _can_ try to regulate your way out of that. It'll result in a giant thicket of rulebooks, laws, procedures and processes. Exactly what a "slim" state would not want to see ...

They already operate in a thicket of laws, rules, and procedures. These all need to adapt to the behavior of domestic and foreign businesses to achieve national security. I think my proposal acknowledged and presented an initial set of propositions to deal with graft. It's better to try than to let national security fall by the wayside due to idealism about free markets. I am very idealistic about them myself, but we see our foreign counterparts use this idealism against us strategically. They are not constrained by idealism.

Mgr: "I need you to plan travel to LA."

Dev: "Cool, got it."

(Having been that dev, wrong! Don't got it. Which is why, as manager...)

Mgr: "I need you to plan travel to LA. For the six of us. Planning to leave tomorrow before lunch. What questions do you have?"

Dev: "Do we have a budget or cost restriction? Is there a time we need to be in LA?"

Mgr: "Let me double-check the budget and get back to you in a few minutes. We're supposed to be in LA by 6PM tomorrow."

(Other good what-if scenarios could include that meeting the travelers are supposed to be in all afternoon tomorrow, whether everyone needs to travel together, where the group is leaving from, if the Dev should book travel or just send a plan, ...)

All of those things help shape the approach, the details, the implementation.

Because, without clarity, some manager who's not an expert and hasn't asked the right questions will say "yeah, sure, we can use the plaintext credential store Bobby threw together, it's fine, get it done fast".

When the manager is invested in creating clarity for the team (which is not the same as barking out orders or trying to "get the 'throw' done as quickly as possible), they'll take the up-front time. And when Bobby says "hey, look, plaintext credential store!", the manager can point back to the approach the team put together (e.g., salted, hashed, ever stored/logged in plaintext, etc).

Reading between the lines, it sounds like you've seen some pretty bad management, probably with a lot of short-term thinking and disrespect for "inferiors". That sucks. I've had some terrible managers too, along exactly those same lines. But I've also had some pretty good managers too. I've found that a lot of managers are terrible because they don't know better. They don't know how to support a team, or how to be clear, or how to listen. And a lot will make improvements when given some help.

I'm in the process of selling the 3 Samsung devices we have at home. It seemed like a no-brainer to buy affordable quality from a reputable brand.

Then the TV got annoying, slow, pestered with ads and new Privacy updates every month; our oven has some bugs that need a software update and the clock resets without Wi-Fi; and god knows when the washing machine will do something similar.

Samsung is a massive company, it really doesn't need to be doing this. Extremely rich is rich enough, shareholders!

Very thoughtful points. One thing about nostr is that it does tend to balkanize due to the technical architecture, allowing for different groups of people to use it in different ways (different relay policies, client features, filtering, etc). But the tradeoffs you list are real, and enforce real constraints (the biggest of which is bare keys as identifiers). Many of these constraints can be designed away, which keeps me optimistic. We've had 30 years of research and development into password management, but far less into end-user key management. Even if nostr itself has some fatal flaw, I think a lot of interesting ideas are coming out of it, just because it provides a very different set of affordances for digital spaces.

My It department does mandatory phishing training every year, and then for the "test" e-mails, they spoof a domain and whitelist the DMARC on their side so it goes through.

So we get e-mails from @microsoft.com and it's only if you dig in the metadata that you see it failed authentication. The only tell in the e-mail is checking the URL, which doesn't tell you much because tons of regular e-mails use tracker redirects too. They even send emails from our own domain or the domain of our payroll company.

I won't type out my rant, but our IT department is a few guys who couldn't figure out what to do when their competitive xbox FIFA 2006 dreams failed, heard IT pays a lot with not much work, and then sat through the certs.
