After dealing with one too many "all my chargers are gone and my phone is dead and now the world is ending" crises, I hid away a stash of extra USB cables and power bricks in a high-up spot the kiddo doesn't know about. Now papa is a wizard, seemingly, able to conjure up whatever is needed at the drop of a hat, through the strange magic of "Planning Ahead".
Thanks! But yep I agree, you're exactly right, it's ultimately... frustrating that there isn't really an agreed-upon or system-enforced way to specify CA roots to an arbitrary process.

It's true that httptap mounts an overlay on /etc/resolv.conf. This is, as you'd expect, due to the also-sort-of-frustrating situation with respect to DNS resolution in which, like CA roots, there isn't a truly reliable way to tell an arbitrary process what DNS server to use, but /etc/resolv.conf is a pretty good bet. As soon as you put a process into a network namespace you have to provide it with DNS resolution because it can no longer access localhost:53, which is the systemd resolver, which is the most common setup now on desktop linux systems.

I do think it might help to mount /etc/ca-certificates as an overlay. When I started looking into the structure of that directory I was kind of dismayed... it's incredibly inconsistent from one distro to the next. Still, it's doable. Interested in any knowledge you might be able to share about how to add a cert to that directory in a way that would be picked up by at least some TLS implementations.
Yes, the condescending tone was intentional.

I'm pretty sure that the article is widely linked on both sites, so to answer your question, "lots".
This isn't really true, game devs have had to deal with client-server authenticity issues since the beginning of multiplayer gaming. There's a lot of lessons learned around and why there's whole sets of middleware designed to alleviate/lessen these issues. For as long as multiplayer games have been around this has been an issue.

The impact ie: RCE vs just ruining the game experience may be different but the concepts are all the same- adversarial clients.

The excuses you listed aren't any different for business apps.
Hi! OP here, thanks for submitting it to hacker news, if anyone have any questions, feel free to write here!
Why go through all the trouble of amending the Constitution when you can just do whatever you want because nobody's going to stop you? Suppose Trump declared himself king tomorrow. Who with any power is going to push back? It doesn't matter if it's against the law if nobody cares about the law.
Damn, now all those hostile microcode patches I'm always attempting to load might actually work?
Comptime is amazing. It's a new language, but I'm excited. I got my team excited too, for some fantastic benefits at work.
This is a gross justification of something you know to be wrong. If all the employees who are currently working at the Treasury had their names leaked you wouldn’t think twice about it being a case of doxxing.

Somehow people feel justified in their condemnation because they don’t know what was happening in the department before and assume more was done than actually was by these DOGE employees. Note that the article has no idea of the extent of work done by each of them, the internal processes at DOGE, or the legality of these events.

At this point it’s just fear mongering with words like “coup” being thrown around and baseless accusations about the halting of payments to essential programs like Medicare, Medicaid, social security, etc. None of which have been verbally stated as a target for termination this term

I'm concerned about my US bonds, as the way to access them is through a government website. Are these people going to block my access and steal my money?

>> “We really have very little eyes on what's going on. Congress has no ability to really intervene and monitor what's happening because these aren't really accountable public officials. So this feels like a hostile takeover of the machinery of governments by the richest man in the world.”
So you think individuals have control over how the industry works? The insight it gives devs is why some are so outspoken about it. This is a good thing.
You have no real handle on the scale of damage being done and DOGE is a real department as it was merged into the US Digital Service through executive order.
As others have said, this is not constitutional.
Psychologist first. Psychiatrist if the former recommends one.
It's a bit ironic that this page doesn't include a usage of the icon or any localization at all.
> clashing classes not being an error

You’re probably talking about the ability to reopen (or “monkey patch”) classes (which is why defining the same class again can’t be an error). That’s a powerful tool if you use it carefully, especially for debugging or hacking on someone else’s code.

> blocks feel like a more cumbersome/limited version of lambdas

Yes, that’s basically what they are. You could totally write JS-like code and pass even multiple lambdas to methods. However, the most common use case — passing a single important lambda (e.g. to a “map” or “each” method) — gets special treatment and its own language feature.

> what's the magic everybody loves

For me it’s the “batteries included” factor. Ruby can do a lot out of the box and most of the interfaces are well designed with tons of useful methods with descriptive names. It feels like someone cares about my experience and is trying to anticipate what I might actually need.

Also the object oriented mechanisms are easy to understand and don’t feel weirdly bolted on like in Python.
Sometimes you can call 1-800-dev-null to get this fixed.
Being surrounded by Christian conservative Trump voters is not how everyone wants to live their life.

HN probably consists of a lot of people who are perfectly content spending their entire life looking at a screen perfectly oblivious of what is going on.
There is a good reason young people go into so much debt for degrees in spite of the insistence by pundits of college being a bubble: the pay bump is worth it, and not just tech jobs. VHCOL areas also have the highest paying jobs, and rapid home appreciation is another tailwind too. Many people who bought homes in Bay Area even as recently as before Covid are sitting on large gains.

Okay… so how does it matter in relation to the prior two comments?
I quoted the specific words GP used and the specific post GP made. I’m not clear how asking GP to elaborate on what was apparently a statement not made in good faith is “changing the topic”.

Aside from the fact that it apparently makes ideological allies sad about having to explain what they really meant. Maybe you can elaborate on that.
But that would require learning more than one programming language, and that would make hiring juniors way too expensive.
I was wrong; Musk endorsed the AfD, so he is a neo-Nazi. The ADL and I were wrong. https://www.npr.org/2025/01/27/nx-s1-5276084/elon-musk-germa...
There's so many laws they're breaking it's hard to name them all and that's part of the point, flood the zone with misbehavior and it becomes difficult to track and react to it all. The President is not a little tyrant able to do whatever he wants with the Executive Branch just because he was elected, the idea that he is and should be is a bizarre new reading ideologically motivated to allow someone like Trump to tear anything they don't like to shreds and only keep the parts they want.
Experience is an important teacher and a 19 year old doesn't have it.
Only if there are prior fingerprints to compare them too, which certainly isn't a given.
Interesting. Care to share any info about your setup? Would it be a matter of httptap reading a certain environment variable and then forwarding traffic to a SOCKS proxy?

FWIW there is also the excellent tun2socks (https://github.com/xjasonlyu/tun2socks), which was a significant inspiration for this project, and is specifically designed to forward traffic from a TUN device to a SOCKS proxy.
Don’t get me wrong, I work in consulting now and have no problem flying out to a customer’s site occasionally.

But I think the reason virtual collaboration only doesn’t work is because you need to meet people, socialize outside of work with the business lunches and dinners etc. Just because you are a lot more forgiving of people and it’s a lot easier to assume positive intent once you have met them and broke bed with them.

Yeah you can do the virtual “war room”. But it’s easier for people to say “no” to other meetings and block their calendars for an entire day when they are all in an office on-site in the same conference rooms.

I guess my entire thesis is that constant “collaboration” in a large group of any form is overrated. You collaborate and brain storm over strategy and then it’s usually you working by yourself or with another person over tactics which can be done with screen shares, putting ugly boxes in diagramming tools to discuss architecture and then polishing it, shared docs etc.

As far as working environments, the beauty of remote work is that you can buy some place bigger/cheaper/further out that’s optimized for your family situation.

My first home that I had built had a “bonus room” upstairs - the only thing on the second level - that was separated from the rest of the house. But I admittedly I never had to deal with small kids. My (step)sons were 9 and 14 when we moved in together.
Sequin | Platform Engineer | San Francisco | ONSITE
We're building the world's fastest change data capture (CDC) platform for Postgres. CDC is a proven pattern that enables real-time use cases like triggering side effects, fanning out events, caching at the edge, and audit logging - but existing solutions are notoriously difficult to set up and maintain.

We're making CDC easy enough for weekend projects yet robust enough for Fortune 500 companies.

Sequin is open source/MIT (https://github.com/sequinstream/sequin). We're backed by Kleiner Perkins and Craft Ventures.

Tech Stack: Elixir/Phoenix, LiveView + Svelte, Postgres

What makes this role exciting:

- Join an early-stage open source project with significant technical influence

- Build a tool you would use for a user you understand

- Work deeply with Postgres

- Solve novel distributed systems challenges (not building CRUD apps)

- Work with Elixir/Phoenix and OTP primitives in production

- High-energy environment focused on rapid iteration and customer impact–we ship a lot, and fast!

We're based in San Francisco, where we have an office. Learn more: https://sequin.notion.site/

Are you saying income taxes lead to an increase in the national debt?
The US is tethering on the brink of hyperinflation due to not just the last 4 but the last 40 years. Interest on the debt is insurmountable.

You can argue whether the chosen approach is right, but no matter what, a drastically different course is needed as 'business as usual' is a sure way to disaster.

I for one hope the US get their act together at home rather than dragging the world into WWIII.
Your average networked game these days is probably a bazillion times more secure than one from 20 years ago. It was super common that there were cheat tools to crash all game clients in a match. It was super annoying, we can just be glad that it was usually not used for anything more nefarious.
This seems suitable for a dwelling, i.e. smart homes.

For a commercial space, centralization is a feature not a bug. Because monitoring is already a feature of security and managing building systems is someone's responsibility...workers don't ordinarily band together when the AC needs repair.
we voted based on the only two options that were shoved down our throats by various groups of the wealthiest people on the planet

Well, we should have made a system that didn’t allow the wealthiest people on the planet to do that.

Not trying to be flip, I’m just trying to point out that it still all comes back to us in the end. We just have to hope for the best at this point. Buyer’s remorse is not gonna change the actions these people are likely to take.

I do agree with you when you say, something needs to be done. If these pres-vice pres pairings are the best the current system could come up with, then obviously there is a need to add some new aspects to the system that might encourage more competence in the candidates it produces.
Shouldn't he be on a long acting injection?

Hmm but this was an allergen, where having more white blood cells at the site isn't beneficiary. If it was bacteria or a parasite, then the story might be very different.
Tables getting too big hasn't been a concern in practice because information on completed workflows can easily be GC'ed.
Wyndly | Organic & Social Media Marketing | $45K - $60K / 0.01% - 0.10% | Remote | https://www.wyndly.com

Wyndly is making specialty healthcare convenient and affordable, starting with allergy care. From a patient’s initial consultation to their final treatment delivery, we want the Wyndly experience to be a breath of fresh air for allergy sufferers – truly effective allergy relief, simply and efficiently delivered. We’ve already done this for thousands of patients, and we plan to do it for millions.

The Role

We’re looking for an ambitious organic & social media manager who is ready to jump in and own our earned channels and grow the business. We’ve grown a following across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. In parallel, we have a successful blog that ranks for many keywords. The foundation is laid and we’re ready for someone to level up these channels.

We’re a high growth team doubling revenue over the next year. We know that every hire will change our business so as you grow our social media and content channels you’ll work with our Head of Marketing and cofounders to define how Wyndly evolves. This role can look very different in a year.

We already get 1M/views per month across our videos and website. We want to triple this by the end of the year.

Product owner doesn't mean product specialist, nor ticket writer. Having a software engineer who writes tickets (or however work is specified) and prioritises it according to a slightly more distant product manager's needs, but also the software and the team's needs, is a great recipe.

Math is such an interesting field. People can work for decades and not make progress, then discover something in a moment of clarity from some seemingly unrelated problem. As a programmer, I don't have that type of patience.
Education, health, infrastrucure, science.
If you had the choice between "no lawsuits at all" and "lawsuits in random months by random countries for things that can escalate to violence and wars" you wouldn't take "no lawsuits at all"?

Even if very few of the lawsuits actually escalate to violence or war, is any risk of violence/war worth it? Ethics would suggest "all my competitors are doing it" isn't a great answer here, either, and certainly doesn't remove the risk.

I can respect the "no lawsuits at all" preference here.
> I've also heard of a fun database where the user "Geoffrey" was truncated to "G". I wonder why? (Hint: End of file)

Sorry, I don't buy that one. There's no way the ascii string "eof" - especially lower-cased - would be interpreted as the C macro EOF, which is typically represented as the int -1. Sounds like a tall tale unless you've got proof.
For sure, Musk and his friends will keep their billions of dollars government contracts. No inefficiency there, surprisingly.

You know how people borrow on future income?
In the US, a person can get a new SSN if their current SSN is heavily used in identity fraud. I've heard its a high bar, but technically a person can be associated with more than one SSN.

Getting an SSN for your child isn't compulsory, so the system also isn't expected to hold every person.

For the majority of people, it's 1-to-1. But it's not guaranteed that an SSN identifies a person (if it's been replaced) or that a person has an SSN (if their parents were lazy or are sov-cits)

Removing consumer protection would be something hard to argue against too, but yet, here we are: https://news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/bessent-pauses-cfp...

"Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has shut down a wide variety of operations inside the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in his new role as acting director."

Nothing of this makes sense in that all these actions don't seem to make life easier or better for citizens in particular or the world in general.
Can you tell if there's a concerted effort to flag Musk and DOGE related threads? I've seen threads go from nothing to [flagged][dead] in the course of 30 seconds after being up for 40 minutes, suggesting very spiky flagging behavior. This has come up a few times recently, for example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42904148

(Of course, I could just be misunderstanding how flagging works on the site... maybe the state machine has to transition in order from regular -> [flagged][dead] -> [flagged] after vouching?)
Manila Folder History: The Dossier on Dossier Containers
that's a little self-flagellatory. I don't think it takes a whole lot of legal education to recognize that what is happening is not legal.

most lawyers aren't constitutional scholars either. do you really think an expertise in personal injury law in Rhode Island makes one more qualified to recognize that an unelected billionaire shutting down organizations without any Congressional approval or appointment is illegal?
I don’t work in gaming, I know a few people who do, everyone of them does it for the love of the game. Certainly not for the job security or even the money. This idea that they’re also to handle security is too much. It’s not their fault, they’re writing “art” not secure micro services for multi national companies.

Publishers will pay to have 0level kernel ring on your system but not for software securing their game.

> the game runs with admin privileges for the sake of anti-cheat

Nobody higher than the devs thought “this might be risky?”

Because can assure you, the devs felt it stupid and risky.

Your “Everyone thinks their making doom 3”. As I see this is not the developer fault.
Yes, (very) dry skin can also itch. In that case I would suggest moisturizing cream, scratching definitely won't make it go away...
I think you like naming fallacies without knowing what they are. That is a common tactic among Flat Earthers (oh I'm sure I'll be hit with another charge here). It is is not "No True Scotsman" to say that it is hyperbolic to suggest that say that statement was Christian nationalism.
How to build an agentic, chat or RAG knowledge system using Pinecone Assistant
I feel that spirituality does not concern itself with the material world making it immune to societal progress. Whereas organized religion becomes mired by societal progress as it's trapped in its own zeitgeist. I believe that trying to tie the two together is a misguided attempt at creating something when there is nothing that needs to be created.
Politicians are the ones still trying to draw arbitrary lines based on language. Linguists have largely threw in the towel on this quite some time ago.

No network namespaces, but the various Network Extension APIs might be able to do this, though it's difficult. RocketSim (I'm unaffiliated, just an example) recently added a simulator-specific network throttle (to replace the system-wide Network Link Conditioner Apple ships) using a content filter extension. Even though this is a system-wide API, it seems you can limit its impact to a single app. And it seemed to properly compose with Proxyman and Cloudflare's Warp VPN at the same time, so perhaps it could be a general solution.
There's a coup happening in the US right now. The oligarchy is taking over and Americans are asleep at the wheel.

TFA:

"That being said, because mast cells are also involved in innate immunity, the researchers wondered if scratching's role in activating them conveys some kind of infection-fighting benefit.

Sure enough, they found that scratching did in fact reduce the amount of Staphylococcus aureus on the skin. S. aureus is the most common bacteria involved in skin infections and is most famously responsible for staph infections.

Still, in the research team's opinion, the reduction in this bacteria from scratching doesn't outweigh the way in which the behavior worsens the area around an itch."
