New ask Hacker News story: SEL Deploy – Cryptographically chained deployment timeline

SEL Deploy – Cryptographically chained deployment timeline 2 by chokriabouzid | 1 comments on Hacker News. We wasted hours in post-mortems reconstructing "what deployed when." SEL Deploy creates a tamper-evident deployment timeline: • Each deployment: command hash, git commit, timestamp, exit code • Chained to previous (tampering breaks the chain) • Signed with Ed25519 (non-repudiable) • Local SQLite for fast timeline queries Try it: git clone https://ift.tt/QmKbjce cd sel-deploy cargo build --release ./target/release/sel-deploy keygen ./target/release/sel-deploy run -- echo "hello world" Built on SEL Core (deterministic engine, 33/33 tests). Open source (MIT). No SaaS. Fully local. GitHub: https://ift.tt/QmKbjce

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: In Cursor/agents, do plugins hide MCP tools from the main agent?

Ask HN: In Cursor/agents, do plugins hide MCP tools from the main agent? 2 by azebazenestor | 0 comments on Hacker News. Quick architecture question. When using MCP servers directly in Cursor, the agent seems to see all tools at the same level. But when using a plugin/extension that internally connects to MCP servers, does the main agent: see only the plugin as a single tool and delegate to a sub-agent inside it, or still see every underlying MCP tool individually? In other words: do plugins act as a tool abstraction boundary, or just a packaging/install mechanism?

Ask HN: Why are there no talks about Seedance 2.0 on Hacker News? 3 by ElectroNomad | 2 comments on Hacker News. Generated videos that I see from ByteDance’s Seedance 2.0 model are pretty ground breaking (compared to Sora, Google Veo and such). Genuinely surprised not to see a lot of chatter about it on HN!

New ask Hacker News story: Tell HN: Ramadan Mubarak

Tell HN: Ramadan Mubarak 5 by Sayyidalijufri | 0 comments on Hacker News. Ramadan 1447 AH has started in Saudi Arabia, UAE, and many places yesterday evening after moon sighting. Here in Indonesia (and much of South/Southeast Asia), the moon wasn't sighted locally, so fasting begins tomorrow, Thursday, February 19 inshaAllah. Ramadan Mubarak to everyone observing! May your fasts be easy, your ibadah accepted, and the month bring barakah, patience, and closeness to Allah. It's always fascinating how a global community syncs (or asyncs) on the lunar calendar—one crescent can shift entire countries by a day. The tech side is interesting too: prayer/athan apps, qibla finders, hydration trackers during long summer fasts (though thankfully not this year), or even simple scripts to calculate local imsak/subuh/iftar times. If you fasting this year what's one small habit or tool that helps you through the month? Or if you're not fasting, what's something you've learne...

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: How do you overcome imposter syndrome?

Ask HN: How do you overcome imposter syndrome? 4 by fdneng | 1 comments on Hacker News. I’ve been working at YC-backed startups since graduating from university. I’m now at a company building a deeply distributed systems product, and I’m surrounded by incredibly talented engineers who seem exceptionally strong at what they do. They often have knowledge and intuition about things I barely understand. Lately, I’ve been feeling inadequate — like I’m contributing more to the less exciting parts of the product rather than the “cool” or core engineering challenges. On top of that, I’m an immigrant and my wife and I are expecting. Balancing that with a fully remote job has been difficult, and at times I feel like I’ve lost some of my competence or sharpness. I’m taking steps to address this — I’ll be speaking with a psychologist soon — but I genuinely wonder: how does someone overcome these feelings while working within a high-functioning engineering team?
