Show HN: A VSCode extension that farts as you type
2 by Vinnl | 1 comments on Hacker News.
With April Fools' Day coming up, I thought I'd share my VSCode extension again: Whoopee cushion keyboard. When installed, it makes fart noises as you type. And with the new version I just released, you can now enable this per language (command palette: "This is a smelly business"). So if a coworker who doesn't like CSS happens to leave their desk without locking their screen, who knows what might happen...

Show HN: EnvKey 2.0 – End-To-End Encrypted Environments (now open source)
57 by danenania | 11 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN, I'm so happy to finally show you all this release after years of hard work. I posted the first version of EnvKey to HN back in 2017 ( https://ift.tt/tjPU1zA ), then went through YC in W18 ( https://ift.tt/tjPU1zA ). EnvKey is an end-to-end encrypted configuration and secrets manager. It protects your organization's API keys, encryption keys, credentials, and other secrets, and makes it easy to run servers, scripts, tests, and everything else with the latest config. It also helps you avoid duplication in your configuration, react to environment updates in real-time, resolve conflicts smoothly, and a lot more. You get an intuitive, spreadsheet-like UI for managing environments, along with a developer-friendly CLI that does almost anything the UI can. Running any program in any language with the latest environment variables is as simple as: envkey-source -- any-shell-command You can use the `es` alias to type less: es -- any-shell-command You can automatically reload a process whenever there's a change using the -w flag: es -w -- ./start-server To avoid downtime on reloads, add the --rolling flag to reload gradually across all connected processes: es -w --rolling -- ./start-server You can run custom logic when there's a change instead of restarting: es -r ./reload-env.sh -- ./start-server Or run something only when there's a change: es -r ./env-change-hook.sh You can pass command line arguments from EnvKey variables (just wrap your command in single quotes): es 'curl https://$HOST_URL' You can export your environment to the current shell: eval "$(es)" Or auto-load the latest environment in any EnvKey-enabled directory (like direnv): echo $'\n\neval "$(es --hook bash)"\n' >> ~/.bash_profile EnvKey is now open source under the MIT license and can be self-hosted. Our Cloud and Enterprise Self-Hosted products also include commercially licensed server-side extensions for auto-scaling, highly available infrastructure and advanced user management. Cloud is free for up to 20 user devices and 40 server keys. EnvKey's client-side end-to-end encryption is built with the NaCl crypto library. Whether you use EnvKey Cloud or host EnvKey yourself, no configuration or secrets are ever sent to the host running EnvKey in plaintext. Public keys are verified by a web of trust. Invitations are verified out-of-band. Secrets are never accessed through a web browser. More details on security and encryption can be found here: https://ift.tt/kyF4T2A Let me know what you think! Thanks!

Show HN: Web page for opening the Tesla charging port
2 by rgerganov | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN, I made a static web page which uses WebUSB to send an RF signal which opens the Tesla charging port. All you need is a HackRF attached to some USB port. The page also works on Android devices with the Chrome browser. I have recorded a demo where I am using my Pixel phone and a HackRF connected to it via USB OTG cable. Cheers!

Show HN: Search Engine for Blogs
9 by dbrereton | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN, Blog discovery is a problem [0] due to the decentralized nature of online writing. Everyone writes on their own site or platform, and there’s no central place that brings everything together. Google results prioritize large media publications over blogs, so we need something else. Blog Surf is an attempt to organize all of the great online writing done by individuals. I launched this project last year as a directory of personal blogs [1], but have now rebuilt it from scratch into a full-text search engine for blog posts. You can search for blog posts, and filter by publish date and reading time. Blogs are manually reviewed before being added. Posts are sorted by MarketRank [2], which is a measure of popularity across various online communities. Most projects that have attempted to organize blogs lack any way to measure the quality of a post, reducing their utility. With MarketRank, you can expect the top results for any query to be something you’d want to read. The mental model for searching Blog Surf is “I want to see the best essays on X” There’s also a directory so you can browse blogs by category, if you want a throwback to the Yahoo days. If you’re a blogger yourself, you can check out the rankings page to see how your blog compares to others. If you want to play around with things, we have a search API, and the full post dataset is also available for download.

Show HN: Narratives Project – A news product for peace
3 by ShaunCammack | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN! I started a non-profit that's spent the last year building a type of short news content that can supplement a normal, partisan news diet. It began as a tweet (https://twitter.com/shaunjcammack/status/1298722815349149699?), which turned into a Substack, and now we have a small staff of researchers and writers working on the project. The goal is to help news consumers understand themselves and those they disagree with. There's usually a lot of (well deserved) suspicion out there about "better news" type initiatives, and so I want to be clear up front that (although we like to pop bubbles) we're not trying to change anyone's politics, we just want to lower the temperature. As far as I can tell, our current news-media system is pretty bad. On the ground reporting has been replaced by armchair journalism, our viewpoint silos are occasionally penetrated by the worst of the other side, and the entire system seems to be in an escalating panic about Those Bad People Over There. This is obvious, but people of different political persuasions will look at the same event and immediately come to different conclusions, and often become agitated with folks on the other side of the issue. And when asked why others disagree on that issue, people usually give one of four answers: They think that because they're either stupid, ignorant, brainwashed, or evil. It's probably not helpful to think that half the country is stupid, and it's a recipe for really bad things to think that half the country is evil. So we're trying to work on the better answer, which is that people with different priors and experiences can reasonably come to different conclusions. Maybe that also sounds obvious, but that's a difficult thing to remember in the moment when we're confronted with someone on the other side of a morally animating topic. So what we're building is a short, substantive piece of analysis that presents and examines the perspectives on either side of a given issue, and illustrate the underlying reasons for how people come to those conclusions. We aggregate the narratives from twitter (via our social media listening tool), and identify what either side is focusing on, how they're interpreting new information, and how they're reasoning. We write the summaries of either side as though we believed it, and discuss the differences. We like to imagine a person on their lunch break, who only has a few minutes to investigate the news event that everyone is talking about. He scrolls through twitter, reads the opinions of people he tends to agree with, and then opens up our content to get a quick overview of the whole discourse. He goes back to work entrenched in his opinions, perhaps, but also with an understanding of why people disagree with him (and it's not that they're evil). Here's another example. There's a mainstream conservative Aunt who watches Fox News. She has a progressive niece who watches left-leaning twitch streamers. They have a lot of difficulty discussing news, not just because they disagree, but because they don't have any way of talking between their worldviews. They just end up messaging each other links to partisan articles (which is not a great way to have a conversation). So instead of this, the niece sends her aunt our content about the topic, which helps them both feel acknowledged and prompted to talk about productive parts of the disagreement (values, experiences, priors, etc.). They still disagree, but they don't think each other are crazy or stupid. We think this minimal understanding helps to alleviate the distress of the reader, helps them understand their own position and be acknowledged, and helps them humanize their opponent. Here's two examples of recent posts: https://ift.tt/vEZWw7S https://ift.tt/roG8UK1 And here's a recent Instagram version: https://ift.tt/H92W7GK We're also trying to experiment with formats that approach the problem totally differently, like comparisons of partisan headlines, deep dives into evergreen divisions, and extended thought experiments. --- There's other organizations and products out there that share our concern, such as AllSides, The Flip Side, Braver Angels, Ground News, etc. Here's two reasons why we're different. First, the news aggregators operate on the idea that people should consume news from both the right and the left to understand a topic and see where other people are coming from. But this is pretty impractical for the average person. There's just too many divisive stories and too few hours in the day. Also, I'm not sure that watching oppositional news wouldn't just confirm your belief that the other side is awful. Most other organizations and products construct their understanding of the discourse by looking at partisan news and opinion articles. This is grounded in assumption that narratives are the product of top-down influence. We're grounded in the field of cultural evolution, and so we think narrative emerges from the interactions of individual agents sharing information, which is then picked up by the media and propagated. So we construct our understanding of the discourse by looking at conversations on Twitter through a social media listening tool (Meltwater), which gives us access to the full firehose. --- We've learned a lot this year, but one of the biggest things we've figured out (through user testing) is that our design is not intuitive. Once users get what we're doing, they see a lot value in it and want to share it, but there's a gap that we need to bridge. So at the moment, two of our biggest questions are: How can we design our product to be eminently accessible, obvious, and useful to the average media consumer? And how can we best compete within the incentives of our unhealthy media ecosystem? And that's why I'm showing this to you. What do you think? Does it make sense? Are there considerations I'm missing? Is there a different format that we should experiment with?

Show HN: Wachy – A UI for eBPF-based performance debugging
3 by vivek-jain | 0 comments on Hacker News.
eBPF is an amazing technology that allows safely running user-supplied functions at pretty much arbitrary probe points in a kernel/user space context. Much has been written about how amazing this feature is for kernel observability. But as someone who writes user space code, what I find even more amazing is the support for tracing arbitrary user space programs, with no code changes and low overhead. However, doing in-depth analysis can get complicated and time-consuming. My goal with wachy was to make this debugging significantly easier/faster to use, by displaying traces in a TUI next to the source code and allowing for interactive drilldown analysis. If you get a chance, check out the start of the demo video since (AFAIK) it's quite unique and gives a much clearer idea than I can provide with just text.

Show HN: Automation the KISS way. No YAML involved
2 by linkdd | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Hello HN, I like Ansible as a tool for automation to perform tasks on multiple remote hosts. But like many of you, I'm sick of the custom YAML DSL that many of this kind of tools provide. How many times have we said "just give me a true scripting language!" ? That's why I started this project `tricorder` (as in Star Trek's tricorder, a simple device to do pretty much anything required by the plot). For now, it's only a tool to execute a command on multiple hosts (like ansible, but without the YAML) and returning the outputs as JSON so you can query it with other tools like `jq` in your bash scripts. But with time, I intend to add other tools to provide the following features: - mimic the "gather facts" feature from ansible - upload/download files to/from remote hosts - Rust API to include in your projects - bindings to other languages like Python/TypeScript/Go I'd be happy to have some feedback on the source code (as Rust is not my main language) or on what features you'd like to see implemented. Thank you :) Link to the Github repository: https://ift.tt/7AgSouQ

Show HN: Throw – The new space for asking and answering questions anonymously
8 by luisamodio | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hello HN community, For the past year we’ve been working on this disruptive new thing. It’s about people, community, communication and truth. Throw is the new space for asking and answering questions anonymously. We believe that in today’s world (both online and offline) content in communication exchanges is strongly influenced by the personas, profiles and façades people maintain/upkeep/safeguard socially, ideologically and on relationships. From the way people post on Instagram the life they want others to believe they have, or the way people behave on thanksgiving with family, or at work, or with friends; on every social setting and interaction to some degree acting and behaving according to that setting and the people they interact with. These dynamics influence the content itself, as people don’t just respond to a question like computers do. What ends up happening is that the responder comes up with the answer by blending the possibly objective answer with feelings, setting, desires, commitments, ideologies, fears, insecurities, etc (social pressure or social agenda). Something is missing between social media and the traditional Q&A… Throw addresses this by creating a space free from this social agenda. Thus focusing strictly on the content exchanged and providing a safe, comfortable and unbiased space where people can ask and answer anything freely with no bias, fears or strings attached. Not only may Throw be used for personal and private questions and answers. But the power of crowdsourcing allows for a great variety of use cases like market research, validation of content and ideas, trivia, and much more. Serious matters and also just for fun… It’s a query marketplace which means that “throwers” (people who ask questions) pay a fee proportional to the answers they need and in turn “catchers” (who catch them and respond) get compensated. This way we guarantee every user gets as many responses as he/she needs. As for dealing with anonymity, we have built a sophisticated moderation protocol to neutralize and quickly ban people that contribute negatively as it is a priority people feel safe and comfortable in this community. We have worked very hard to create a delightful product and are currently very close to rolling out our app to the market. If this is something that may be of your interest or you’d like to be one of the first to test it out, you may keep an eye for our launch and other news by subscribing to our waitlist. https://ift.tt/FPjrVob Also, if you have questions there is additional information in the FAQs section on our web page that could be of help. If you still haven't looked at our explainer video I encourage you to see it as it's quite fun and describes pretty well what we are doing. https://youtu.be/3f9RcVVpkNA Finally, we really appreciate any feedback we can get (of any kind). So if there's anything you like, don't like, or any other thought about Throw, we'd love to hear about it! You may post a comment below or through the contact section on the web page. Be curious and dare to know! Thank you!

What ends up happening is that the responder comes up with the answer by blending the possibly objective answer with feelings, setting, desires, commitments, ideologies, fears, insecurities, etc (social pressure or social agenda). Something is missing between social media and the traditional Q&A… Throw addresses this by creating a space free from this social agenda. Thus focusing strictly on the content exchanged and providing a safe, comfortable and unbiased space where people can ask and answer anything freely with no bias, fears or strings attached. Not only may Throw be used for personal and private questions and answers. But the power of crowdsourcing allows for a great variety of use cases like market research, validation of content and ideas, trivia, and much more. Serious matters and also just for fun… It’s a query marketplace which means that “throwers” (people who ask questions) pay a fee proportional to the answers they need and in turn “catchers” (who catch them and respond) get compensated. This way we guarantee every user gets as many responses as he/she needs. As for dealing with anonymity, we have built a sophisticated moderation protocol to neutralize and quickly ban people that contribute negatively as it is a priority people feel safe and comfortable in this community. We have worked very hard to create a delightful product and are currently very close to rolling out our app to the market. If this is something that may be of your interest or you’d like to be one of the first to test it out, you may keep an eye for our launch and other news by subscribing to our waitlist. https://ift.tt/FPjrVob Also, if you have questions there is additional information in the FAQs section on our web page that could be of help. If you still haven't looked at our explainer video I encourage you to see it as it's quite fun and describes pretty well what we are doing. https://youtu.be/3f9RcVVpkNA Finally, we really appreciate any feedback we can get (of any kind). So if there's anything you like, don't like, or any other thought about Throw, we'd love to hear about it! You may post a comment below or through the contact section on the web page. Be curious and dare to know! Thank you!

Show HN: I made a mobile game using HTML5 with Ionic
2 by RupertWiser | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hey all, I wanted to share a recent weekend project I worked on. A few months ago, I discovered Ionic and I absolutely love it. https://ift.tt/nUWwpJ8 I’m not convinced I could build an “enterprise” app with it but for little personal throw away projects, I think it’s great. For anyone not familiar with it, it basically wraps a native app around a webview and provides a bunch of css to make the app feel more native. I built a little mobile app with it last month but I got especially excited by the idea of making a mobile game. I just threw in an HTML canvas element and I was successfully able to build a short game. What’s great is UI is also pretty easy to add with HTML. Over all it took me roughly 2 days to make a small mobile game which I’m counting as a success. Link for anyone interested in the game: https://ift.tt/xDv6mYP

Show HN: Create Matplotlib visualizations from the command-line
3 by dmoura | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I do lots of data analyses in the command-line and I was missing a simple utility to plot the output of a command (without having to script it). I like very much the Matplotlib API but I found no CLI to pipe data into it. So, I wrote MatplotCLI, a simple CLI that reads data from the stdin and allows to easily create interactive plots from the command-line. Have a look at the README for examples and recipes. Let me know what you think, thanks! Some examples: $ plt "hist(x,30)" < sample.json $ cat sample.json | plt --no-show "hist(x,30); savefig('myimage.png')" $ plt --no-input " x = np.linspace(-1,1,2000); y = x*np.sin(1/x); plot(x,y); axis('scaled'); grid(True)" $ echo ' {"a":0, "b":1} {"a":1, "b":0} {"a":3, "b":3}' | plt "plot(a,b)"

Show HN: We made an open-source personalization engine
6 by shutty | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hey, HN! You probably know that the ordering of products on Amazon, posts in FB, and search results in Google is personalized for each visitor, as it directly affects conversion, click rate and engagement. But not everyone can afford to hire an army of PhDs to squeeze every penny out of the ranking, and not everyone agrees on the current (im)balance between privacy and profits. So we built Metarank, an open-source and privacy-focused personalization engine. It can rerank in real-time any type of content, using only the data you allow, and optimize metrics you define. We made a lot of proprietary DIY services for personalization in e-commerce in our past careers and heard so many complaints from other companies also struggling to implement personalization. It’s often considered "too risky" to spend 6+ months on an in-house moonshot project to reinvent the wheel without an experienced team and no existing open-source tools. Like other people in the industry, we were tired of building everything from the bottom up each time we approached personalization - it should be easy not only for Amazon to do such magical ML tricks, but for everyone else. A small demo of the tool with personalized recommendations: https://ift.tt/5Tth8EZ A blog post on how this demo was made: https://ift.tt/aR0LPYU... The project itself: https://ift.tt/1RNcXZw

Show HN: My Book Making Probability So Easy That a Lemur Could Learn It
6 by wwwpatdelcom | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Probability involves a lot of extra-mathematical concepts and funny transforms. I have always had a hard time internalizing it. When I heard a couple years ago that Lemurs are actually capable of abstract math, that gave me a bit of motivation to try to finally conceptualize probability in terms of whole numbers, counts, geometric shapes, basically easy-to-remember mathematical primitives. This book might be interesting to folks interested in predictive science, research, or just anyone who may have taken probability or statistics and might like a refresher on some of the edges of these sometimes tough to nail down concepts. I would love any feedback or questions that anyone may have. Thanks! Patrick Delaney

Show HN: BoxyHQ – open-source alternative to Auth0/WorkOS (boxyhq.com)
30 by deepakprab | 9 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN, we are Deepak and Sama, co-founders of BoxyHQ (https://boxyhq.com/). BoxyHQ provides an open-source platform for developers to quickly integrate enterprise features into their software solutions. These include SAML Single Sign-On (SSO), Audit logs, with more to come :) Every B2B startup faces a common challenge when it comes to selling into the Enterprise; they need to allocate time and resources to support all the requirements to make their offering enterprise-grade. Supporting these requirements is a significant undertaking for the engineering team, especially since they already have their hands full with the core product. We experienced this problem ourselves and that is why we built BoxyHQ, a platform to integrate enterprise features in any SaaS app with just a few lines of code. The main difference with Auth0 and WorkOS is that BoxyHQ is being built on an open source ethos. Our focus is to be a developer-first security platform, putting developers at the centre of our holistic approach and help them close the gap between compliance and security. Please let me know if you have any questions, you can also reach out to me at deepak@boxyhq.com

2 by ZYinMD | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hacker News has a unique feature that reddit and other forums don't have - the "hide" button. In theory, you may scan through the titles and click "hide" on each one you know you won't read. The benefit is when you come back later next time, you won't have to scan through those titles again. This sounds great, except nobody does it, because it's too many clicks. This chrome extension solves this with keyboard: [↑] [↓]: go up and down the list [←]: not interested / hide [→]: open link (background new tab) [Enter]: open link (foreground new tab) [Space]: open comments Github: https://ift.tt/gq4dcuw

I've been working on this for over 1.5 yrs (all my spare time) and now it's ready for preview, does anyone want to try it out? It's mostly opensource (and the rest will be opensource sooner or later) Please access it with PC, it's an HTML5 game: https://bytelegend.com/ I really want it to expand to more languages, but right now I've only finished Java part. I wonder if anyone can help me with other languages. Besides, I'm not a good game story designer, but I really really want it to be a game with a fantastic story. Any help will be appreciated.

Show HN: PDF API – Generate, convert, and modify PDF documents
27 by arkgil | 14 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN, Arek here. We’re super excited to officially launch PSPDFKit API [1]. PSPDFKit API is a collection of HTTP APIs that enable you to convert, generate, and edit documents without running any service on your infrastructure. What differentiates our API from others is that you can chain together multiple “actions” as part of a single API request. For example, you can convert, OCR, watermark, edit, and flatten a document — all in one call. Available actions [2]: - PDF Generator - PDF Converter - Image Converter - OCR - Watermark - Merge - Split - Duplicate - Delete - Flatten Our documentation includes sample code for JavaScript [3], Python [4], Java [5], C# [6], PHP [7], and the command line. We also have a Postman collection [8]. Let us know what you think or if you have any questions.

Show HN: Civic – Online Hub for Causes
3 by mab477 | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN! Matias and Jessica here, we're the founders of Civic (https://civicapp.co/), an online platform that connects people to causes in their area. That could mean everything from volunteering opportunities to activism and politics. Every year, over 180M Americans contribute to social causes, yet doing so takes a significant amount of time and energy — information on how to get involved or take action often spreads through disconnected pages, newsletters, and word of mouth. Civic plans to solve this by creating a hub for people to find and organize events, connect, and donate to causes around them. We just launched our MVP in NYC, focusing exclusively on events. I (Matias) started working on Civic while still in college, where I also spent a lot of my time in politics, having worked with ActBlue and a presidential campaign. I also served as a hyper-local elected official in DC, where I represented about 2k constituents to the city. Jessica is a full-stack software engineer and spent 5 years working at Google before joining us. She's fully responsible for our tech and is the reason why we're able to build this at all. During my time in DC, one of the most interesting things I observed was how the causes that were most likely to get people engaged were the local/neighborhood issues that affected them directly. Yet, because of their local nature, those causes were also the ones least likely to get publicity. That plus the general lack of a true online hub for civic engagement led us to start Civic. The MVP is rough around the edges and we're definitely looking for ideas and feedback on how we can improve! Some of the features in our dev pipeline include an onboarding process to customize the content seen by each user (causes are very broad); easy and streamlined, no-fee donations to organizations; social "spaces" based on location and interests where users can meet and discuss issues with others; and much more! For those curious about revenue, we plan to monetize by introducing donations. Right now, over $300B are donated by individuals to non-profits in the United States each year, much of which goes through outdated platforms that charge high fees. We'd target smaller, local organizations that aren't well served by existing platforms, and would follow the same model as GoFundMe and a few other companies, allowing users to add an optional "tip" to Civic after each donation. From our research, this tends to lead to tips of about 6-8% per transaction. You can check out our MVP here: https://civicapp.co/ We'd really appreciate any and all feedback (especially related to features, new and existing), please let us know what you think! :)

Some of the features in our dev pipeline include an onboarding process to customize the content seen by each user (causes are very broad); easy and streamlined, no-fee donations to organizations; social "spaces" based on location and interests where users can meet and discuss issues with others; and much more! For those curious about revenue, we plan to monetize by introducing donations. Right now, over $300B are donated by individuals to non-profits in the United States each year, much of which goes through outdated platforms that charge high fees. We'd target smaller, local organizations that aren't well served by existing platforms, and would follow the same model as GoFundMe and a few other companies, allowing users to add an optional "tip" to Civic after each donation. From our research, this tends to lead to tips of about 6-8% per transaction. You can check out our MVP here: https://civicapp.co/ We'd really appreciate any and all feedback (especially related to features, new and existing), please let us know what you think! :)

I created a data store called Nubostore that is serverless, globally distributed, strongly consistent, low latency, real-time, with Instant-Search engine, and accessible via REST and GraphQL. I wanted a powerful data storage system, without the complexity of database management. Please let me know your thoughts! https://ift.tt/rTR8MWp

Show HN: I made Devzat – It's like discord but in the terminal, over SSH
2 by quackduck | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Run `ssh devzat.hackclub.com` to try it out! The repo is here: https://ift.tt/OJgTkqe (golang). It has markdown and emoji support, DMs, channels, and it can show images too. You can send code, and it gets syntax highlighted (you can change the theme). You can ping people like so: @user and it sends them a \a, which should play an audible sound if the terminal allows it. There's inbuilt games and rainbow names and a lot of other small things I don't remember right now. You might find the auth system interesting: it's based on a hash of ssh pubkey (bans use that and a hash of IP, so it isn't so easy to get around a ban) Also an interesting issue: bots that go around trying to brute force ssh into random IPs with common usernames. My current solution is banning if rapid successive joins are detected.

This is a chrome extension I made. You visit tiktok.com and sign in, the extension retrieves MP4s and puts them in a folder. My goal: the TikTok algorithm has helped me find wonderful things. I consider the list of my [Likes] to be a treasure collection, and want to make sure I don't lose them. If you don't have time to try, here's a video walking through all the features: https://youtu.be/BoHOdRxHgP0 Is it free: Yes.

Show HN: Edit, annotate and share articles easily – Smort.io
2 by sabr | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN, I created Smort as I wanted to highlight an article and share it with a friend but couldn't find any easy way of doing it. Smort lets you easily edit, annotate and share an article. To read any article in Smort, just prepend smort.io/ before a URL in a browser. (I recently found out that even 12ft.io/ uses the same technique). Smort is free to use and shareable links are valid for 7 days from creation. Permanent links will be supported soon. I'm primarily a backend/ML engineer so had to learn all things frontend to build Smort. I started out developing in SvelteKit and loved it but later migrated to React & Nextjs due to better third party library support. I have lots of ideas on how to take Smort forward and would love for you all to use it. Please join our Discord to share your curated articles and feedback! This is a walkthrough article detailing everything Smort can do at the moment - https://ift.tt/kxTG5qP . Smort's name was inspired by the memes [1] [1] https://ift.tt/BGWdlm5

Hello! I wrote an introductory SRE Book: Site Reliability Engineering Tidbits and it's free today! These are short fun chapters about SRE, monitoring, debugging, observability, and resiliency. This book aims to provide hands on examples of implementing a number of concepts described in Google's SRE books. It also describes how i've seen SRE concepts impact some of the organizations I've worked in. A couple chapters are hands on debugging exercises going through the process of debugging applications based on data. I'm excited because every chapter describes something that I've done in paying jobs, so it documents real life SRE in action at various size organizations, and not theoretical SRE concepts.

Show HN: Sci-Hub Scholar – Firefox Extension Update v1.2
3 by djfdat | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Sci-Hub Scholar is a browser extension that takes Google Scholar search results and tries to point them at Sci-Hub, where they can be read freely. The main selling point for this extension versus others is that it works right on the results page, rather than the article page at the pay-walled website. One night, I decided I was going to do some research, only to find every Google Scholar Result behind a paywall. Trying to find the link on Sci-Hub, I ran into a bunch of issues: * https://ift.tt/AgzUCTP is down * Annoying to copy/paste title to Sci-Hub * Didn't want to be presented with another set of search results from my search results. I've seen some other Sci-Hub extensions, most notably https://ift.tt/AbfxzlH . However, most of these require you to go to the article page, then click the extension's button to finally be redirected. I thought I could do better. I recently did an update pass to update with some features others have added and requested. New Features for v1.2.0: * Added support for all Google Subdomains. You can now use this extension on Google Scholar websites for any country! * DOI is now listed next to the article title for articles where the DOI was found * If the title's URL was updated to Sci-Hub, the Icon to the left will now point to the original article. * More accurate DOI lookups! Issues: * Currently, I can't validate that the article exists on Sci-Hub, due to the way Firefox handles website permissions for extensions. I do not want to request permissions for all domains, but since the Sci-Hub domain can change, this is difficult. * I'm afraid to port this to Chrome, because I don't want to lose my Google Account over something like this. * It's a hassle to support manifest v2 for Firefox and manifest v3 for chrome. Haven't found a good workflow setup for developing for both browser platforms at the same time, from one codebase. I welcome any feedback or recommendations on the issues. I also have planned features, and am open to contributions! The extension is all open source and can be found at: https://ift.tt/XjNz0Jb I hope this helps some people get access to the information they need!

This is the MVP of a web app I made to help founders start successful companies. The idea is to provide tools to assist founders, such as: - Business model development - Recommendations based on your current business context and your own role in it - Add recommendations as tasks There are more features in the works too, such as automated answering of common questions. I also want to add far more recommendations than are currently available. The tech stack is: - Flutter (front-end) - Nim (back-end) - PostgreSQL (DB) The web app's UI is actually written on the back-end in Nim, and rendered by Flutter. You can only launch the app once you've logged in. I'm planning to make this tech available as Open Source, and you can join a wait-list if interested: https://nexusdev.tools/ Feedback on CxO Industries, but also the tech behind it, is welcome.

Show HN: Graphsignal – Machine learning profiler for training and inference
8 by dmitrim | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN, I'm the founder of Graphsignal ( https://graphsignal.com ). Graphsignal is a machine learning profiler. We've created it to make ML profiling simple and usable. It provides performance summaries, ML operation and kernel level statistics as well as detailed resource usage information necessary for making training and inference faster and more efficient. Profilers help fix performance issues, improve user experience and reduce computation costs. Such improvements benefit machine learning profoundly; model training jobs that run for hours or days could be made much shorter and inference latency could be reduced resulting in significantly lower costs and improved user experience. I realized the benefits in one of my previous projects, where the model would have to be trained regularly and be used for inference on huge amount of data. Having spent last decade developing profiling and monitoring tools, it seemed logical for me to use a profiler for the task. But since the training and inference were running remotely, I had a hard time using existing ML profilers. TensorFlow and PyTorch provide built-in ML profilers, which utilize NVIDIA's profiling interface (CUPTI) under the hood for GPU profiling. One way to use those profilers is via locally installed TensorBoard or by logging the profiles. In turn, Graphsignal Profiler ( https://ift.tt/k4IRe9o ) uses the built-in profilers as well as other tools to enable automatic profiling in any environment, including notebooks, training pipelines, periodic batch jobs, model serving and so on, without installing additional servers/software. It also allows teams to share and collaborate online. Basically, the profiles along with environment and usage information are be automatically recorded and sent to Graphsignal where they are available for analysis. Trying it out is easy: 1) sign up for a free account; 2) add the profiler to your ML code and run it; 3) see and analyze the profiles at graphsignal.com. Everything is described in the Quick Start Guide https://ift.tt/6CIMmHJ . I'm very excited to show it to you here and will appreciate any thoughts, comments and feedback!

Show HN: Kaado.io – Unifying Personal Productivity
2 by blackbrokkoli | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN, a while ago I discovered a problem with problem with personal productivity tools: Every time you find a tool that works well in one regard (say, habit tracking), you neglect your previously working systems (say, your to do list system). So I set about to build a system which unifies all the different aspects of personal productivity. Everything is represented in cards (like flash cards) which are defined in Markdown. The following types of cards exist: * Learning : Classic front/back prompts to memorize things. Think "What is the capital of Argentina?" on the front and "Buenos Aires" on the back. Works with a spaced repetition algorithm so time between prompts is optimized. * Habits : Recurring actions you want to do - you can set the frequency individually. For example "Stand up and walk around your room" every two hours. * Checks : Recurring prompts, similar to habits, but always questions referring to the past. For example a daily "Did you drink enough today?" prompt * To do : One time actions that are deleted upon completion. * Reading List : Used for books, articles, talks etc. There are always a limited number of reading list items active, which will prompt you to read a page a day until you are done with the given book. * Other : Everything else - interesting websites, quotes, art or even memes that you will occasionally see. The idea is that there is a single queue for all types of cards, only ever showing you one item that's due next - whether habit, learning prompt or a random note. This prevents choice fatigue, the dread of lengthy to-do lists and the boredom of endless dry learning prompts. I've been using the app successfully for myself for quite some time now but would love external feedback. You can check it out at https://kaado.io. It's currently completely free (and in fairly early stage development). Simple email signup is needed but you won't get any unprompted mails. Apart from that I would love your takes and ideas regarding personal productivity and what works for you.

Facebook's Katran looked too scary (and I don't do C++), so I thought I would investigate using XDP/eBPF to redirect packets at high speed and Go to do the control plane work of health-checking backed servers and managing configuration. With luck the resulting binary should be easy to deploy by non-developers. It's still not mature, but seems to work. Code was written in a very exploratory manner, and I'm not a developer so it is quite shocking at the moment, but I aim to improve it. It is intended to be horizontally scalable with ECMP and has been tested on service providing 40Gb/s with a single (hardware) node at ~30% CPU utilisation.

Show HN: I made a privacy-first minimalist Backblaze
4 by bimbashrestha | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Creator here. I was looking for something as simple as Backblaze Personal [1] but privacy focused and open source. This is my attempt to build that. Uses PyQt6 [2] for the GUI and Pyinstaller [3] for creating the platform specific binaries. The backup engine under the hood is Restic [4]. The server code is written in Laravel [5]. All the code is on GitHub [6]. I actually really like Backblaze (even use B2 for this offering behind the scenes) so this isn't meant to throw shade their way. Just wanted a private open source alternative. Something like Bitwarden but for backups.

Show HN: Clipton, Clipboard Manager
2 by madprops | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Clipboard managers are an essential tool for me. On windows I used Ditto. On linux I used CopyQ. But after a while I started encountering issues. So I made my own manager based on rofi. If you have linux and rofi this might work nicely for you. It consists of a small c program and a python script. https://ift.tt/3nh9Qkc

Show HN: I made it easy to show visitors what you're planning
2 by waffleweb | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN! While working on a project I wanted an easy way to show visitors what features were planned. I wanted this info to be concise and on the frontpage. Most of what I found involved kanban boards, but I wanted something simpler. I saw some timeline tools but none were interactive. So I had the idea to make this app, It's a simple roadmap/timeline that you can embed on your website.

2 by difflens | 0 comments on Hacker News.
DiffLens is an attempt to address my frustrations with text diffs on GitHub pull requests. Instead of attempting to discern every change optimally with abstract syntax trees, DiffLens just identifies the structure of the code to break down the diff into smaller, reviewable parts. DiffLens is free to try out. I'd love to hear feedback!

Show HN: A Repository of Recruiter Email Domains and Email Filter Automation
2 by appsoftware | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I've found it useful to maintain email filters for technical recruitment companies so that I can separate these from my other email and review at a time when I can give them the attention required, depending on whether I'm currently looking for work. This takes regular maintenance and so I've created a repository along with some scripts for automating the filter strings for my GMail account. The hope is that others may find this useful and contribute domains to the repository. Note that as per the README, this is NOT a spam list. Recruiter email is essential for finding work. This is just to make the work of sorting email easier.

Show HN: Mailwitness – Digital Signatures over Email
3 by siersciu | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN, I'm Marek Dopiera and I wanted to share the digital signature solution which I made with my software house. Your feedback would be much appreciated. We've just launched it - it's a service for signing documents over e-mail - https://mailwitness.com . It still has some rough edges, but hopefully it is useful already. To sign a PDF with somebody, you e-mail them the PDF and put sign@mailwitness.com in CC. If they agree, they need to forward it to sign@mailwitness.com. When they do, you all get your document signed. You can generate PDFs from e-mail, too for convenience. We made this to raise the safety bar of agreements made via e-mail. Via anecdotal evidence, we know that if people do not use services like DocuSign or HelloSign, they consider an e-mail conversation as proof or they print, sign and scan documents. I think we're offering more safety and convenience, because we're preventing the documents from alteration, forging fakes and backdating (by using OpenTimestamp, which essentially constructs a Merkle tree and puts its root into a Bitcoin transaction). I'm hoping that our service becomes useful also because it doesn't require any sign-up (just one confirmation e-mail for Ts&Cs), it's free (in the basic model) and doesn't require the extra cognitive load on learning a web app or a mobile app. You may argue, that one can create a fake e-mail account and use that. That's a valid point, but the reality proves that verification via e-mail is enough for lots of people (vide the agreements over e-mail or DocuSign or HelloSign). In the future we may create paid options, which would include extra identity verification. Even without that extra option, things are not as bad, though: if you use your work e-mail, it's usually your employer who verified your identity. Another question you might have is spoofing. If your e-mail has a valid DKIM signature (which is the case for most major e-mail providers), we'll accept your message. If it doesn't we'll send you a message to verify that you can also receive e-mail. For data safety, we have designed the service such that we discard the documents as soon as we process an e-mail (usually a low number of seconds). Finally, there is legal safety. We operate under the EU law, which qualifies us as a "Trust service provider" and puts requirements on our service. What we do, qualifies as an "Advanced Digital Signature" and according to the EU law, cannot be denied legal effect based on the grounds that it is digital. Monetization path is unclear yet - I want to see if this catches on and if yes, how people are going to use it. Some options include extra services like using your own certificate rather than ours or identity verification. I would really love to hear your feedback - especially for what reasons you would not use it. Thank you

Show HN: Early access launch of Adama, a serverless multiplayer game platform
5 by mathgladiator | 3 comments on Hacker News.
Greetings! My name is Jeff, and I’m “early-access” launching my SaaS “serverless” infrastructure for Jamstack, games (particularly board games), and traditional real-time scenarios (presence, pub/sub, etc…). This work is rooted in the frustration of building complicated board games using existing infrastructure. It just so happens that making board games easier has wide reaching implications. Landing page: https://ift.tt/B0xoDc6 This is a radically different kind of “serverless” infrastructure where I want the benefits of both a serverless architecture with a monolithic mindset, and this is achieved by building a comprehensive language to transform documents within the service as close to data as possible with minimal reads and writes. As this is “early access”, I’ve outlined the current challenges on the site and have a launch post which goes into more detail: https://ift.tt/7XjWnIK From a technical perspective, the now and future architecture has some interesting tidbits around streaming. However, the key value proposition is the language which I enjoy using (and building). This language has (1) await/async semantics to perform coordination between multiple people, (2) integrated queries for simpler thinking about state, (3) privacy as a first class citizen, (4) access control is baked in, (4) reactive formulas which lazily compute values, (5) simple message passing between user and the document, (6) modern features which make doing bad things impossible, (7) state can be rewound with a rewind, (8) no need to serialize state or think about networking, and (9) more https://ift.tt/yRCound I’ve got my work cut out for me, but I’m starting the effort to find early adopters and build community that want to play as I push forward on my strategy since many of my investments are driven by my pathologies: https://ift.tt/83UKYra I would deeply appreciate any feedback, comments, and questions here, via my new shiny email: jeff@adama-platform.com, or my discord channel: https://ift.tt/Ra2dvTN

Show HN: Crowdsource creation of Ukraine/Russia peace agreement
32 by plesiv | 29 comments on Hacker News.
I've created an app with the goal to: Crowdsource creation of Ukraine/Russia peace agreement. https://ift.tt/COB4Tp2 How did it come about? - I'm worried about the rapidly escalatory nature of Ukraine/Russia conflict. Western countries are taking many measures to stop the war, but all measures seem to be alike - they all escalate and deepen the divide between the nuclear armed military powers. Meanwhile, innocent people in Ukraine are suffering now, innocent people in Russia are going to suffer soon due to sanctions and I cannot see how adding more suffering to the World is good and is bringing us closer to peace. I wondered if an unconventional approach to trying to resolve the conflict could be of any benefit... You can see a mock example of a peace agreement here: https://ift.tt/cOxw60k... I've committed $1000 to the best reasoned peace agreement anyone comes up with. If you have geopolitical understanding of the situation and can construct an objective and convincing agreement, please create a new one by pressing "Create new agreement button" in the landing page. The app has just been launched and not many agreement proposals have been submitted yet, so the competition for $1000 is not fierce currently.

Show HN: DontBeEvil.rip: Search, for developers (API, expressions, CLI)
15 by alangibson | 13 comments on Hacker News.
I'd like to invite everyone to try out DontBeEvil.rip, an experimental search engine for developers. tl;dr $ alias rip="curl -G -H 'Accept: text/plain' --url https://ift.tt/R5brVQa --data-urlencode " $ rip 'q=Heartbleed bug' DontBeEvil.rip is a year long experiment to see if a small team can build a developer-focused search engine that is self-sustaining on $10 monthly subscriptions. It works by only indexing high-quality resources that are relevant to developers. You won't get useless listicles because we'll never crawl them. Relevant urls are harvested from HN, StackOverflow, programmer Reddit, and a few others. Page content comes mostly from the Common Crawl project. The limited, but awesome, features in this first release are: - Expressions! Experience the power of Elasticsearch’s Simple Query Strings. - REST API. Just change 'text/plain' to `application/json` in the above alias. - CLI. Just use curl in the terminal. Simple as. HackerNews, StackOverflow, Arxiv abstracts, 2M Github repos, and programmer Reddit (up to 2020) are being indexed right now. There's much more to come in the next few months. I'd love to hear your questions, comments and suggestions in the comments below.
