I believe most people see security through obscurity has an attempt to hide an insecurity.

ASLR/KASLR intends to make attackers lives harder by having non consistent offsets of known data structures. Its not obscuring a security flaw, instead its raises an attacks 'single run' effectivness.

The ASLR attack that i believe is being referenced is specific to abuse within the browser, and running with a single process. This single attack vector does not mean that KASLR globally is not effective.

Show HN: I built a non-algorithmic social network for just my family and friends
For the past month, I’ve been running a small, private social network I built for my closest connections. No AI, no algorithms, no ads — just genuine human interaction. It’s been surprisingly liberating.

What it is:
A simple platform where my family and friends can share updates, photos, and conversations.
Entirely private—you only see content from people you follow.
No user search. You can only connect with people you already know in real life.
No tracking, no content analysis, no data mining. Zero algorithmic feeds—no engagement-driven optimization.

Why I built it:
I quit all the traditional social networks last September(https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43310766), and found that improved my life significantly. With one caveat - I often felt disconnected from my family and close friends. So I wanted to bring back just that much - an unfiltered non-greed-driven space.

Technical implementation:
Nothing fancy—just a basic CRUD application with: User authentication, Text and Photo uploads (stored on Cloudflare), Chronological feed and comment threads, minimal infrastructure (Google App Engine + Vercel)

Simplicity is the point.

What I’ve learned:
1. Without algorithms dictating visibility, people naturally moderate their posting frequency
2. When everyone knows each other, accountability happens organically
3. The absence of infinite content eliminates doomscrolling. And I actually feel filled just taking a look at my feed and seeing nothing new was added since my last visit!
4. People share more authentically when they aren’t worried about performance metrics

This isn’t a startup launch or an open-source project (yet?). Just an experiment that has made my digital social life feel more human.

The best part? Everyone I built it for is already using it! Actually, I’m hesitant to grow it too much, because then I’d have to start worrying about server cost and a monetization strategy, and so on.

I haven't used Cognito or Google's one, but Azure AD B2C is a complete mess. Or it was 3 years ago. A disaster of poor configuration options, and poor documentation, and even when we spoke to internal Azure engineers they said the same.

Stick with something like Auth0, or self-host Keycloak. Don't use the Azure one if you can at all avoid it, at least for B2C applications.

Show HN: I made a snake-like multiplayer strategy game for teaching math
I make learning games for kids to deeply understand Math and Science. On a bit of a whim, I decided to try to make Snake, old Nokia phone game, multi-player and competitive, and maybe even good for practicing single digit sums by kids.

The game is surprisingly competitive, just remember how real snakes do their thing - get close but not too close, then swoop in to trap the prey!

The difference is that Europeans there were at least partially civilized so there was some raw material to work with.

The Taliban have nothing of civilization in them. They actively resist and hate civilization. There is no reforming them.

You also underestimate the amount of hatred a local person of sane mind would have against the Taliban. The most rabid haters of any shitty system are often those who escaped it personally. If you can supply and support such people they would be much more violent and extreme in suppressing the Taliban than any external Western person could be. If we are taking the example of Nazis, just look at the attitude of Jews who survived and began assassinating Nazis after the war vs American etc liberators who just chose to "forget" everything after the war.

I remember some discourse saying they were not "trapped" in space (as in physically unable to get to earth safely), they just didn't want there to be only one american crew member on the ISS, or something along those lines. Is anyone on the ISS now, or did they all come home?
I previously worked for a startup that used GCP with a less than 7 figure spend each year and we had no problems talking to people at Google.
Long time ago when I was using it I preferred Gentoo because of ergonomics and better exposition to supply chain.

Slackware was very manual and some bits were drowned in its low level and long command chains. Gentoo felt easy but highlighted dependencies with a hard cost associated with compilation times.

Being a newb back then I enjoyed user friendliness with access to the machinery beneath.
Satisfaction of a 1s boot time speedu, a result of 48h+ compilation, was unparalleled, too ;)

Happy birthday to us! I joined 9 years ago but I definitely would have joined earlier if I knew HN exists.

It's a never ending pleasure to discover new things, old things I didn't knew and learn interesting viewpoints and valuable bits of information trough comments.

It's great that HN isn't restricting articles on one topic and everybody has the chance to find something interesting. I am mainly interested in software but I've read interesting stuff about economy, psychology, history, art, literature, science.

I've got into the habit of appending news.ycombinator.com to Google search terms if I research something. Because if something is mentioned here is usually relevant for my interests.

I think it's better to imagine agent as something that physically placed inside the Environment, and actually modifying/changing/mutating it in place.

> An email filter is an agent. A database trigger is an agent.

you're missing the "I" (Intelligence) part - the filtering logic in the email filter, or a business logic in the DB trigger/stored procedure/CGI script/AWS Lambda function/etc.

But yes, an agent doesn't have to be Intelligent, it can be a Dumb Agent / NPC / Zero-Intelligence Trader.
Dems were in a no-win situation.

If the govt shut down then repubs could put everything they want to ax on the table and hold the entire govt hostage repeatedly on every individual issue.

If they don't allow repubs to hold the govt hostage they're traitors.

No winning for Dems in that situation besides grandstanding, which only works if Dems are united and they aren't.

Right now the dem strategy seems to be to let Republicans do whatever they want and see how bad it gets in the hope that voters reject Republicans next time around.
> Who owns the copyright when you ask someone to take a photo of you using your phone in a tourist location?

because you asked and they complied, there's a work contract between said photo-button presser and you. The implicit agreement is that you own the copyright to the photo, and the consideration paid is a word of thanks from you.

Now on the other hand...if you dropped your phone, and a stranger with no prior interaction picked it up, and pressed the button, then you can argue that they own the copyright.

It's tricky. As a long time Apple user, I appreciate that they are privacy focused, but I also get a lot of spam text messages, calls, and notifications. It's become more and more annoying to deal with these on my Garmin watch and on my phone. I wish I had some sort of AI filter. For example, I want to get a notification if my Uber is running late, but I don't want one if Uber is offering me 20% off if I subscribe to whatever their monthly service is.
This is a common pain point.

Write in a language that makes sense for the project. Then people tell you that you should have used this other language, for reasons.

Use a compression algo that makes sense for your data. Then people will tell you why you are stupid and should have used this other algo.

My most recent memory of this was needing to compress specific long json strings to fit in Dynamo. I exhaustively tested every popular algo, and Brotli came out far ahead. But that didn't stop every passerby from telling me that zlib is better.

It's rather exhausting at times...

Don't tell me what side you're on by quoting Al Jazeera the propaganda arm of Qatar.

All the do-gooders were saying that if we only get a ceasefire Hamas would release the hostages. Guess what - they didn't. If they've released them then the ceasefire would likely have held. All of them. Unconditionally.

Hamas is over. They can make the call at what cost to the Palestinians. The "peace protestors" are calling for more bloodshed.

This really isn't a matter of political opinion or who you think is right or not. Israelis feel like Hamas is an existential threat. They will keep fighting until that threat is removed and the hostages are returned. The cost is up to Hamas.

These is no dying en masse from hunger. But there will certainly be more food after Hamas surrenders and returns the hostages. In the meantime Hamas can provide for its citizens from its stocks in the tunnels.
> Born in another country then naturalized still does not rule out sleeper agent situations. Seems pretty obvious to me.

Euro techies call for sovereign fund to escape US dependency
This is obviously heavily biased, because there is no way any reasonable person would think Axum or Actix are like Flask. That's just not possible with a language like Rust. The Rust standard library is horrible compared to Python or Go.

You need more dependencies to build a simple APi in Rust than you need in Python, and Go combined.

Axum, tokio, serde, serde_json, anyhow, sqlx and probably 5 more to fix the bad standard library.

In Python and Go you can build web app with the standard library.

TBH after adding in a database, Rust is probably not that much faster than Go and Go has everything you need in the standard library, compiles to binary, and package manager doesn't matter cuz you don't need one using Go.

Because the end user aren't computer scientists. End users should have NO capability in determining their own security, since they could LITERALLY BE infants playing with the iPad.

It is the responsibility of the systems designer to make sure the system is secure, not the end user.

And if you require instructions on how to secure your system, then you have already failed. A properly designed system is secure with zero knowledge.

Remember, it takes work to learn anything, and the goal of a tool is to reduce work, not to increase it.

Throw away customization. Throw away configuration. Both of those are bad design principles.

Make it work by default.

Maybe.

Though probably not: by German law Hitler could already not have been in power, because he wasn't properly a German citizen at the time. (It's all very murky.)

Hitler was already in power illegally. The law we are discussing here would have just made it 'even more illegal'.

(I'm using the weasel wording 'in power' here, because I forgot whether he needed to be a citizen to be a member of the Reichstag at all, or only to become chancellor.)

I don't think your parents even have to be legally in the US for you to become an American. You just have to be born in the US, legally or illegally.
Russia is not getting any fresher either. Maybe he could increase aid. He was largely responsible for delaying aid previously which hurt Ukraine and also hurt Europe and america.

As opposed to cutting off aid giving Russia false hope of outlasting and conquering Ukraine and other parts of Europe which encourages Putin to continue the war

By that argument, we should ban everyone whose Social Security number is even from running. That would prevent about 50% of psychos from running.

Tourism is a pretty good sector for the economy, especially because by its very nature you have to compete internationally with the rest (and best) of the world. There's no shelter behind tariffs or similar.

It isn't easy to do with just AppleScript on a Mac. I run a sports team and I wanted to send out a message to people for special situations. Some of the challenges are that you cannot script sending a new message if there isn't already a thread -and- it seems like you must use the same contact info (email or phone number). There isn't much feedback when it goes wrong. Some of these do make sense for preventing spam. I suspect I could have used the accessibility APIs to drive the UI. I eventually gave up.
Yes, IMF rules and EU neoliberal orthodoxy actually work.

Have a look at the development of Greek unemployment numbers over the last decade or so. It has been a steady downward march, with Covid merely a minor blip.

Oh, there are plenty of vindicative custodial parents, but I haven't heard of one reducing their own income as it wouldn't increase the child support, just hurt their own wallet.

It's more along the lines of trying to prevent the non-custodial parent from having visitation and that sort of thing.
Funny timing. Just yesterday I was looking for an easy Windows tool to do a simple stress-test on a website (legally ofc). A requirement of mine was to just give it the root URL and the tool should discover the rest automatically (staying on the same domain). Also, parameters like parallelism had to be easily manageable.
After trying some crawlers / copiers and other tools I went back to a simple one I already knew from saving static copies of websites in the past: HTTrack. It fit the bill perfectly!
You can add the root URL, set it to "scan only" (so it doesn't download everything) and tweak the settings like connections and speed (and even change some settings mid-run, save settings, pause, ...). So thanks xroche for HTTrack! :)
I acknowledge that I have no idea what happened in this situation. Please don't take this as me justifying mean behavior.

> Code should be holistically understood and it's your job as a technical leader to know how the parts move

That's true when we design something. Once the design is done, and is broken, we have to tear it back apart to understand WHAT is broken. That's when blame is useful.

I love using git blame. I love it even more when it comes back with something I made, because then I get to learn. When something I thought was safe turned out to break something, that's an invaluable chance to understand the system better.

That being said, I've totally used the blame output to end a series of excuses from a junior about how "his code was definitely right, but everything else was garbage" because I really do not care. If it worked before, but doesn't work now, that's a problem. Part of the modern process of "fail fast" is also to build up taste about which parts of a working system are spooky.

I find that some people take the "blameless" culture too far, and use it as an excuse not to reflect on outcomes. They just ruffle the code whenever there's a big, and don't think critically about why that bug appeared. What that tells us about the system we're making.
