New ask Hacker News story: Fear of Missing Code

Fear of Missing Code 3 by lukol | 3 comments on Hacker News. Talking to developer (and increasingly non-developer) friends of mine, the following pattern has emerged: Many of them are caught in a "just one more feature" loop that keeps them awake late at night, destroys their sleep cycles and has them wondering every waking hour if they spend their Claude Code Max subscription as effectively as possible. You could actually be building a feature while you're grabbing dinner or hitting the gym, so why don't you? Combined with the fact that the current state of AI assisted coding is still far from perfect, this leads to exhaustion. Letting your agent do its thing fully unsupervised only works in few scenarios and reviewing (or at least: QA-ing) the countless things that were built while you were spending time with your friends / family / pets is mentally taxing. How are you handling this?

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Personalized mRNA cancer vaccines, how real is the pipeline today?

Ask HN: Personalized mRNA cancer vaccines, how real is the pipeline today? 3 by imnotlost | 2 comments on Hacker News. I came across this open-source workflow for designing personalized mRNA cancer vaccines: https://philfung.github.io/openvaxx/ And this recent story about a man who worked with researchers to create a personalized cancer vaccine for his dog: https://ift.tt/6QXgZ1O It got me wondering what the current technology, research, and startup landscape looks like for personalized mRNA medicine in humans. Are any HN people working in this space, or close to it? I’m especially curious about: - how real the pipeline is today outside major institutions - which parts are getting cheaper or more accessible - which parts of the pipeline is being taken over by software and possibly new AI models - where the real bottlenecks are: sequencing, target selection, manufacturing, QC, regulation, or something else - whether anyone is building tools, infrastructure, or startups around more in...

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Running legacy IE/ActiveX clients without local admin rights?

Ask HN: Running legacy IE/ActiveX clients without local admin rights? 6 by Servant-of-Inos | 5 comments on Hacker News. We are currently maintaining a very old client-server architecture. The server collects real-time data from a large number of sensors and controllers, transmitting it to a legacy database under continuous, massive load (writes every few seconds). The problem is the client side. It’s ancient, strictly requires Internet Explorer, and heavily relies on ActiveX. If a standard domain user launches the browser, the data fails to load and the browser completely hangs. It only functions correctly if run with local administrator privileges. Giving users local admin rights is a massive security risk we can't take. Currently, I have a workaround running in production using Task Scheduler to elevate just this specific application without giving the user the actual admin password. I documented the specific approach we are using here: https://ift.tt/h15ZJRz I recently starte...

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: At what point you decided to pursue your startup fulltime?

Ask HN: At what point you decided to pursue your startup fulltime? 3 by kathir05 | 2 comments on Hacker News. We all start with an idea, 0 customers, 0 followers, no clarity on long term on our startups. AT some point, you get conviction, this will work and worth pursuing full-time even though 0 revenue to begin with. For HuntYourTribe, after 2 months, we got 10 portfolios built by strangers and some even kept their link in Github profile. This is it! Even with 0 paying customers, we decided to purse this startup maze full-time, now 10+ paying customers. What's your inflection point?
