I had this for months when I stopped taking benzos. I remember it made all the music I loved sound out of pitch and awful. It kind of makes you feel out of touch with the world too when you're getting this weird distorted version of it

Toxiproxy is based. It's basically a REST API that lets you spawn sub-servers acting as a relay to some remote or local machine. From there: you're able to add different behaviors to the relay (using a REST API on the sub server.)

VBScript was such an underrated way to write exploits for IE users. You could have programs run that could make web requests with cookies and process page data. When I did this pen test back in the day I found forum software that had HTML e

IMO, defining your own types is one step too far. Now everyone who is already familiar with C types has to learn your own quirky system to understand one program. I think it does probably make sense to be specific about the sizes though e.g

These tech companies were never well optimized for such a drastic increase in remote worker. All of their structures, managers, and the way they work rely heavily on in person meeting. I think with companies like that you really do have les

I think this is genius tbh. If you're faced with the prospect of losing important data and feeling silly for trying something so unorthodox I know which one I'd prefer. I've also seen videos on YouTube where repair technician

It really is insane how much you have to tip toe around tech circles just to say anything that isn't part of the colloquial circle jerk. What you're saying is the approach any competent software company takes to managing vulnerabi

You can get it from one trip. Hell, you can even get it from smoking a joint. I know this sounds like something you might see in a DARE campaign but it is real. It's a very under appreciated risk of psychedelics. If you define HPPD as

Under rated comment. I've seen discussion of this in the past and it's been speculated that there might be a sizable portion of users of these drugs having HPPD to some extent. I can attest personally to effects of HPPD on myself

What's your aim making this here? Is it mostly just to show the sub-components of a PDF? Because if you added more support for Javascript it would fill a need (IDK how niche, lol.) When I was trying to improve my resume I added some cu

I like that his blog is literally just pages on Github. It shows that there are so many free resources these days if you know where to look. That's cool to me.

It probably seems like I wrote the above as a one-off shit post to bag on OP for the lulz. But I did have a solid engineering basis for writing it. The tools being better or worse isn't the issue I was getting at. Quadlets may well be

Thanks for the info. I hope you all keep doing well. The Framework Laptop is the most elegant design for a laptop I've seen and I definitely want to own one. Normal laptop repair and upgrade seems terrifying to a beginner. But with fra

It's about comparable. Hetzner's packages in general are a little bit cheaper than other major hosts though. I'm mostly talking about OVH. A factor here that HN readers might want to consider is server latency. Hetzner offers

Nice, I just bought Hetzner's 'EX101' and I'm extremely happy with it. Already hosting my own STUN, TURN, and echo servers. They give you plenty of IPv6s and adding additional IPv4s is very cheap. I'm happy with it.

I really wish they would ship their laptops faster. I would buy one but don't really want to wait a year+. Guess my next laptop will probably be a ThinkPad.

Ask HN: Is there any public infrastructure for a key-value store?

I briefly looked at the code and it seems like the actual server code is just based on third-party modules (e.g. uvicorn.) There's no socket code here and barely any mention of anything related to HTTP in the library. This is more like

Maybe this is a dumb question: but what happened to the software they built? Did they end up shipping it? Did it become a Fog Creek product?

There are ways to do the verification with cryptography that would preserve anonymity and wouldn't allow messages to be tied to public keys. I find condescending ignorant responses like yours highly annoying. One way to respond to peop

Introducing the requirement to spend money to use the service would drastically reduce its value. It wouldn't be Tor anymore. Payments would make it easier to link identities and filter access to it. It would also mean not everyone cou

IDK, a mechanism that helps Tor continue to run does not seem like a 'wasted', 'needless' computation to me. People literally use Tor to protect themselves in situations that might result in heavy penalties for exposing

Proof-of-work uses resources like memory, CPU, hard drive space, and so on for their challenges which just means that the person with the most resources has a disproportionate impact within the system. A botnet owner has more total resource
