Ask HN: Why LEB128 and VLQ use Base 128 instead of 64?
I am currently participating to the specification of a binary format that includes variable-length integers.

I am wondering why VLQ/LEB128 [1] use base 128 instead of a more usual Base 64? Is this related to specific needs of where these formats come from?

A Base 64 could not be simpler to implement?

Update CSS/JS from Chrome Developer Tool
https://github.com/ciju/devsync
The hack is basically a bridge b/w chrome devtools and localhost editing. A web developer spends much time on devtools (if he uses chrome). Each time, he tries some changes on the site, replicates them to files on the localhost, and then again has to switch back to the browser and do refresh. The hack tries to make that cycle simpler. You do your edits on devtools, once you are ready, push a button (will try to make it a keyboard shortcut) and the changes will go back to the localhost files (js and css changes) and site itself will be refreshed. If one edits the localhost file, again the page on the browser is refreshed (just Alt+Tab to it).
Show HN: Steamos-teardown – Exploring SteamOS 3 Internals
https://github.com/randombk/steamos-teardown
Hi Everyone! While tinkering with the Steam Deck, I was shocked at the lack of public documentation for how the OS itself works. Valve has made numerous customizations to the upstream Arch OS, and I felt it's high time we started a community effort to consolidate our findings and document these changes.

I'm currently aiming for a more technical audience, but see this branching out into guides and utilities for non-technical audiences in the future.

For anyone interested in contributing or just simply curious about how the Steam Deck works on the software side, please take a look!
Addicted to Apple? The Top 30 Apple News, Rumor and Opinion Websites of 2012

Ask HN: IT Topic Checklist for Startups?
I'm curious to know what kind of IT topic "checklists" are out there for a new startup. The startup is in the service industry consolidation space (think purchasing independent hotels and consolidating backend systems / rebranding) An example list of topics that may need to be thought through and decisions made on:
Compliance: PCI, GDPR, CCPA, etc.

Data: Extract out of hotel/property management software, warehousing, transformation, bi and analytics.

Engineering/Development: Cloud platforms vs colo, AWS/Azure/GCP, architectures, databases

Enterprise systems: HR management, payroll, ERP, CRM, Intranet, Office 365

Endpoint management / networking: AzureAD vs on prem, SSCM vs intune vs other, zero trust / vpns

What other general / specific things need to be considered? I'd welcome good comparisons of the solutions in these categories, but really just looking to see if there are any comprehensive handbooks or lists out there.

Thanks!

Proactive techniques to stop & squish #botnets
http://seclist.wordpress.com/2011/11/29/proactive-techniques-to-stop-squish-a-botnets-technically-feasible-but-legal-too/
Abstract. Botnets, consisting of thousands of interconnected, remote-controlled computers, pose a big threat against the Internet. We have witnessed the involvement of such malicious infrastructures in politically motivated attacks more than once in recent years. Classical countermeasures are mostly reactive and conducted as part of incident response actions. This is often not sufficient. We argue that proactive measures are necessary to mitigate the botnet threat and demonstrate techniques based on a formalized view of botnet infrastructures. However, while being technically feasible, such actions raise legal and ethical questions.

Show HN: Atlas Connex – A tool for simplifying systems integration
https://atlasconnex.com/
Hi HN,

Avid reader here, never a poster - til today. I've built Atlas Connex and wanted to show it off and hear what you've got to say!

What's it do/what's it for?

It's a SaaS/IaaS tool meant for taking the burden off engineering teams when integrating disparate networked systems.

For example, you need to build some continuous, event-driven ETL type data flow, but you can't modify the source and/or destination systems or it's a pain to do so, Atlas Connex is meant to plug in here.

It can accept data from any source type (HTTP requests, MQTT topics, polled APIs, etc.) route it through a series of filters and transformers (which either make decisions about dropping the payload altogether or massage/format the data) and then send it on to a destination, which can be a multitude of endpoint types and formats as well. Delivery is done via managed queues which can be paused, throttled, etc., so unreliable endpoints are not dropping data, they are just queued up for later delivery.

The idea is that a team only needs to write a small piece of Python code (which is the filter language) and define a route to get a reliable data flow up and running. Whether it's a fan-in (many sources to one destination) topology or fan-out (the other way 'round) the platform is meant to unburden teams with the "getting the data there" part so they can focus on using that data in automation, building real value, etc.

I'd love to hear any and all feedback, from first impressions, to anyone who will give the system a test run and give technical feedback, let me know!

Lastly, thanks HN for being an awesome place for makers, builders, and tech folks!

Ask HN: Deciding Between Yahoo and Amazon
I am a current graduate student graduation in March 2020. I have software engineer university grad offers from Amazon, Seattle and Yahoo, Sunnyvale. I interned at Yahoo in Summer 19, and have the verbal return offer from them.
I am facing a hard time deciding which company to join. Compensation-wise, there won't be much difference. But technically speaking, which is a better place to work at in terms of my career growth as this will be my first full time job?
I enjoyed the internship at Yahoo! and my team. With that being said, I heard Amazon is good for initial career shaping. (Yahoo is a sinking ship, so I have heard). I know the team I will be joining at Yahoo, and it's the domain I wanna progress in, as opposed to Amazon where you get to know the team after you accept the offer. Considering every possible factor (excluding compensation), which is a better place to work at?
