Ask HN: Why reinvent front-end frameworks and static site builders? 2 by keepamovin | 0 comments on Hacker News. I've done this. So I understand the compelling nature of it - but I don't get why we do it. Why do people consistently recreate a "new way to build a static site" or "a new way to build a front-end UI"? From my point of view, I thought it was about ergonomics - I want developer tooling that matches the way I'm wired, so I made it myself. But I don't think that's the whole picture - not even for myself. This is a general pattern with people. Why do we do this? Any insights? Could it be a form of procastination? It's not that difficult, but nor is it that meaningful. I think about it like a DIY workshop, homelab or shed. Do people consistently make their own tools? Like, you don't make a new hammer, or screw driver, or drill, do you? Why do we recreate basics like this in software? Because we can? Are we procrastinating? I...

Tell HN: eBay doesn't allow changing country 3 by peterburkimsher | 0 comments on Hacker News. On 2025-05-30, I received an email from eBay saying "Peter, are you still using your account?" I got a security code by email, and successfully spoke to a nice man from Florida on the phone. I noticed that my address has changed, because my parents sold their house in France and moved to New Zealand. So I updated my address as well. On 2025-05-31, I received another email from suspension@ebay.com saying "MC092 FPA NOTICE: eBay Registration Suspension - User Agreement - Abusing eBay - peterburk" The first thing I did when I turned 18 years old was to open accounts on eBay and PayPal using my old iBook G3 (before even going downstairs to open birthday presents). And now all my 88 positive reviews are for nought, because eBay blocked me. If anybody reads this, please let me know an email address in eBay so I can contact a real human to verify that my account is real. T...

Why is the Microsoft Store delivering downloads with different hashes? 2 by nilslindemann | 2 comments on Hacker News. I just noticed that the Microsoft Store delivers an EXE with a different hash sum, every time I download an installer from its Store. For example, try downloading the Windows Calculator twice, you will see that the files have different hashes (It may be necessary to close the browser and delete all browsing data in-between): https://ift.tt/goY1b5H For example, I get these two hashes for the "same" installer downloaded there: 73D31DE1B708204FC97D77EFEC7C82EA9FEDF03F 6F3BC3056F30566D0E1A1F4E268976C64C847B5A And here two different scans for the "same" installer. https://ift.tt/N4QWqvk https://ift.tt/wiYmzs1 Why is MS doing this? It seems this creates unnecessary work for Virus Checkers. It also seems to be a data protection issue.

Ask HN: New Economics of Software Development Lifecycle 2 by breckenedge | 0 comments on Hacker News. Been thinking lately: developing software is arguably faster now with LLMs and agents. (Yes I’m aware of the caveats in making this statement, it’s a premise I ask you to accept for this discussion.) For years, we’ve been managing projects as if development is the slowest part of the process. Simplified: PMs handoff to Design handoff to Development. Been that way for years in my career basically since Figma took over. But now the Development could be much faster than the Design step. And as often as I’ve been bottlenecked waiting on Design to finalize their work, why not just let the AI+dev come up with the first version of the UI and then replace it when/if an “official” design arrives?

Ask HN: Management wants to talk to my Datalake. What's the best way to do this? 2 by GaiusCoffee | 0 comments on Hacker News. We’ve inherited a lot of data, now neatly organized in a Dremio Data Lake. Most team members use Excel or Power BI to access it. With all the excitement around AI, management (especially non-technical business units) are now asking for a chat-based interface to interact with this data and generate charts on demand—similar to the AI demos you see everywhere. I’ve pointed out that Excel Copilot offers some of this, but they’re looking for a more conversational, dedicated chat experience. Requirements/constraints: - Needs access control and auditability - Preferably integrates with OpenAI-like API - We’re an Azure shop with existing Microsoft contracts Has anyone dealt with similar requests? What kind of approaches, tools, or architectures did you consider? Any pros/cons you’d highlight, especially in an enterprise context? PS. English is not my first langu...

Can we take a moment to appreciate what kind of web experience we are building? 2 by tomdesantis | 0 comments on Hacker News. A web where most posts, images and videos are AI-generated with only SEO optimization, advertisement and manipulation in mind A web controlled by scraping and crawling agents with advanced browser control designed to deceive paywalls, steal content and send spam A web were creators that make genuinely interesting content are not rewarded for their work because of the things mentioned above A web where digital identities are easily faked and weaponized with a simple prompt I'm afraid that we are trading short term economic gains for a horrible web experience in the long term.

My Profile: I have a Master's in System Security. My experience spans: Automation: Java, Selenium.

My real passion, however, lies in onboarding users to new solutions and helping them achieve maximum value based on their needs. I thrive on seeing others succeed with technology. The Challenge & My Question: While proficient across my DevOps skillset, I...

Ask HN: Any modern mobile friendly family tree / genealogy builders? 2 by sherdil2022 | 1 comments on Hacker News. I have used most of the ones out there already but I hate the UI and UX of those. They are like they were built in the 90s and don't have much oomph. I can build one (semi vibe-code actually) - but before I do wanted to find out if there are any modern (optionally mobile friendly - since I know small screens and family trees don't mix).

Al-LLM powered eBPF based security platform 2 by gaurav1086 | 0 comments on Hacker News. There’s a growing need for a lightweight, AI-LLM + eBPF-powered EDR/XDR solution that works for both large and small enterprises — and is actually affordable. We’ve built a self-managed EDR/XDR platform that combines real-time intrusion detection, enhanced user activity logging, and sensitive file monitoring, all driven by eBPF for deep system visibility. It’s designed to be efficient enough for thousands of endpoints, and comes with a clean, dual-dashboard UI (main + per-server) for managing everything at scale. Works seamlessly across 1000s of servers Detects file access/modifications (e.g. /etc/passwd) Logs detailed user behavior and suspicious command activity Blocks malicious IPs across server groups with 1 click AI-assisted alert classification and risk scoring Here’s a quick 2-minute demo: https://youtu.be/16BvgmfiYzQ — would love your thoughts!

Ask HN: Why that many more US-based companies are hiring "US-only" remote? 5 by soneca | 1 comments on Hacker News. I recently got laid off and was going through the latest "Who is hiring". I noticed that about 90% (guessing) of US-based companies that hire remote are hiring "(US only)". I know there are plenty good reasons for a US company to hire US-only, I am only surprised because a few years ago (when I last was searching for a job), that was definitely not the case. "US-only" was the exception, not the rule. At least in the universe of companies that post on "Who is hiring". What prompted the change?

DigitalOcean terminating business account with no details given 3 by ivanvas | 0 comments on Hacker News. I've been with DigitalOcean for more than a year. No illegal stuff, of course.

Ask HN: What projects do you donate to? 8 by xeonmc | 9 comments on Hacker News. With the Internet rapidly undergoing its corpocene mass extinction event, the few initiatives trying to keep the web and the software ecosphere habitable depends mostly on individual contributions. Traditionally, advertising your charitable contributions might be seen as distasteful virtue signalling for which one has already earned their reward. However, I think in the cultural context of digital initiatives, it’s actually helpful and quite important to show off what you have been donating to, it is a much stronger signal to draw people’s attention to important projects by word of mouth. Thus, this thread is intended to be a celebration of your personal contributions to initiatives towards digital freedom. Think of it as an “MyAnimeList for donations”, or a “Goodreads for open projects”, list out which projects you personally have your sights on you think are important that other people also hear about...

O1 Visa Question - Looking for help 3 by emitrranmol | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hey everyone, I wanted to get some help on my O1 visa application As I am filling my O1 application, I am the founder of a SaaS company does 2.5m ARR in revenue, have a little press about me and we've raised a pre series A round of 4m I dont have any memberships I am a part of and I've not really judged anyone's work (except helping 1 startup grow. I've helped them a lot in everything - recruitment, growth, pmf and now they are a team of 15 with 400k ARR) Do you know what I could do for membership and judging criteria I didnt want to go through any accelerators and apparently the administration does not value that much now. But the attorney's said it helps to have memberships and judging too. Thanks in advance for all the help

AgentLink: On-demand AI agents you can assemble into teams 4 by nraychaudhuri | 3 comments on Hacker News. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been building AgentLink — a platform where you can discover and deploy AI agents trained for specific tasks like code review, market research, or sales outreach. The idea is to make it feel like hiring a freelance team — but powered entirely by AI. Here’s what AgentLink enables: - Find agents trained for narrow tasks (e.g., code reviewers, data summarizers, lead generators) - Assemble teams instantly, like snapping together Lego blocks - Hire agents on-demand and scale usage up or down as needed - Track agent output, provide feedback, and iterate quickly. It’s built on a custom system that handles agent orchestration, memory, and inter-agent communication. Still very early — I’m currently testing with solo developers and small teams. I’d love feedback from anyone who’s worked with AI agents, multi-agent frameworks, or automation tooling. What techn...

Every wondered how Facebook spoofs Gmail message list snippet text? 4 by chrisjj | 2 comments on Hacker News. E.g. Gmail inbox shows a message contains "XXX tagged you on Facebook. Take a look about what she said on you." But when you open the message, there's no "Take a look about what she said on you." Answer. The text is present but hidden: Take a look at what she said about you. And unsurprisingly whenever I do click through, I find she hasn't said anything about me.

Ask HN: What did you learn from your recent project failure? 3 by raydenvm | 1 comments on Hacker News. Everyone’s had a project that failed —startup, side project, or ignored feature.

I'm doing some research to understand where small teams and early stage startups are getting stuck, especially around: Launching landing pages quickly Frontend performance issues Building simple MVPs (e.g., with Next.js) Adding AI agents or automation tools If you’ve hit a wall in any of these areas (or others), I’d love to hear about it. What’s been unexpectedly hard or frustrating recently? Appreciate any insights trying to get a clearer view of where I can offer the most value.

Ask HN: Career Change Confusion 3 by tdnka | 0 comments on Hacker News. I feel stuck and not sure what to do with my career anymore. I’m currently a software engineer but I have never really enjoyed working professionally as a SWE, I’ve switched companies about every two years thinking that maybe if I can work on something different it would solve this problem but it never has and I am always ready to leave after about a year and a half. I’m not great at being an engineer either, I’m good enough to do my work but it’s not fulfilling and it leaves me feeling drained at the end of the day. I’m technically a senior engineer so along with doing my mind numbing programming work for the day, I’m also supposed to be actively and passionately discussing hot topics like micro frontends, micro services, graphQL, and other things that I could not care less about. The more complicated we can make the solution, the better because there will be more work for us all to do. All of this despite actu...

Apple Rejects My Name Because It Contains "Dek" – But "Dick" Is Allowed 9 by Kevin605 | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hey everyone, I’m a long-time Apple user and fan, but I ran into something absolutely ridiculous today while trying to buy a gift card for a friend on Apple’s website (https://ift.tt/NrfSPjE). I couldn’t complete the purchase because my name (and email) contains the letters "Dek"! Whether I enter my email or my actual name, the system blocks the transaction. Apparently, "Dek" is somehow flagged as forbidden or offensive. Here’s the kicker: I tested it with the literal name "Dick," and it went through without any issues. So, Apple’s system is fine with "Dick" but rejects my name over "Dek"? I’m beyond frustrated and honestly a bit insulted. I just want to buy a gift card without having to legally change my name! I called Apple support about this, and they told me they can’t do anything to help. Is this...

Ask HN: AI Reading List 4 by TheAlchemist | 0 comments on Hacker News. In the thread about John Carmack presentation, somebody mentioned the reading list he got from Ilya which were crucial to understand what matters and the current state of the knowledge (at the time). After some googling, it seems like this list is plausible, although not confirmed: https://ift.tt/Hoqzbsu What would an actualized list look today ? I'm asking since I'm taking a similar direction to Carmack (with maybe 1% of his talent and skills, but hey it's all about the journey !) in that I don't intend to work on improvement existing models, which I also believe are a road to nowhere, but rather understand things from the ground up, and maybe figure out 'something different' at the end.

Tell HN: Mozilla is preparing to remove bookmark keywords 7 by RheingoldRiver | 0 comments on Hacker News. On Bugzilla there's an active ticket [0] tracking progress to remove bookmark keywords from Firefox, in order to consolidate them into Search. I think this is going to be disastrous for my workflow and I'm very worried about it, but I don't see much discussion of this anywhere, even though I do see a lot of discussion about bookmarklets. Since bookmarklets and keywords are so tightly related (bookmarklets are the code, and they keyword is how you run it from your URL bar), I want to spread the word that this feature might be going away. I wrote a(nother) blog post about how cool bookmark keywords are and how I use them [1] and I'd love to hear other people's use cases for keywords [0] https://ift.tt/WUkGOL9 [1] https://ift.tt/MSA9kWH

More than 1,500 AI projects are now vulnerable to a silent exploit 3 by mykytamudryi | 1 comments on Hacker News. According to the latest research by ARIMLABS[.]AI, a critical security vulnerability (CVE-2025-47241) has been discovered in the widely used Browser Use framework — a dependency leveraged by more than 1,500 AI projects. The issue enables zero-click agent hijacking, meaning an attacker can take control of an LLM-powered browsing agent simply by getting it to visit a malicious page — no user interaction required. This raises serious concerns about the current state of security in autonomous AI agents, especially those that interact with the web.

Ask HN: Do you have a side project you're getting tired of? 4 by gdulli | 4 comments on Hacker News. Does your project make too little money and you're getting sick of maintaining it? I don't need to make a full salary anymore and rather than work a traditional job I'd enjoy maintaining a few projects that were profitable but no longer worth the time of someone who had bigger hopes for them. I like running the day to day of something that people use, and I'm not looking for any kind of unicorn potential. Feel free to contact me at the email in my bio to discuss.

Ask HN: Pros and cons of offering a self-hosted version of your SaaS? 4 by DavyCreddy | 0 comments on Hacker News. I'm working on a SaaS product that simplifies credential collection for businesses. I'm debating whether to offer a self-hosted version alongside our cloud offering. For those who've gone this route: what were the biggest advantages and challenges? Did you find it expanded your market or just divided development resources? Any technical considerations that weren't immediately obvious? I'm particularly interested in hearing from founders who started with cloud-only and later added self-hosted options (or vice versa). How did pricing structures evolve? Did maintenance become unmanageable? Appreciate any insights that might help inform this decision.

Modern Python Boilerplate – good package basic structure 2 by lambda-science | 0 comments on Hacker News. TL;DR: Python Boilerplate repo for fast package building with all best practices Hello, I wanted to share a small repository I made named “Modern Python Boilerplate”. I created it because I saw in multiple projects including in professional environnement, the lack of good structure and practice, leading to ugly code or even non-functional, environnement mess… The goal is to provide a python repository setup that provides all the best good-practices tool available and pre-configure them. It makes it easy to build and publish python package ! The link is here https://ift.tt/WNJdoXH It include (in a single Makefile !) modern python management (structure, packaging, version and deps w/ UV), modern CI (listing, formatting, type checking, testing, coverage, pre-commit hooks w/ Ruff/Ty), documentation (automatic API Reference building and publishing on Github/Gitlab w/ Mkdocs) and runn...

Ask HN: Where to find UX design resources? 2 by bindd | 1 comments on Hacker News. We’re a bootstrapped company short on resources.

What did we do at OpenTools.Ai to Double Down on Growth? 2 by Yacobin | 0 comments on Hacker News. When I joined OpenTools 9 months ago, our AI Daily newsletter was sitting at just over 50,000 subscribers. We were still figuring out how everything worked: testing headlines, tweaking sends, understanding what resonated with a very smart, very curious audience. Fast forward to today: we’ve just crossed 90,000 subscribers. What changed? - We dialled in the right growth levers. - Our team aligned on what mattered most: audience value. - Reader engagement shot up. - And most importantly, we kept showing up with useful, thoughtful content in a noisy AI space. As someone who’s worked in varying hot topic industries, I’ve rarely seen something click like this. We’re building more than just a newsletter, we’re creating an ecosystem where AI builders and users actually connect in meaningful ways. A huge thank you to our advertisers as well. The trust you’ve placed in us and the results we’ve ...

Ask HN: How the hell haven't we solved phishing emails yet? 4 by mdni007 | 4 comments on Hacker News. How is it possible that in 2025 with all the amazing advancements in AI, I am still getting phishing emails? Emails attempting to look as if its coming from Coinbase, or some stock broker, or bank, or even UPS/USPS/FEDEX? These emails dont look even remotely legit so how do they manage to pass through? Even the email addresses are from some completely different domain. I am using Outlook and Gmail. How/why have they not figured this out already? Even ignoring AI, I don't know much about email but why isn't there something like a CA for email?

What If Every Picture You've Ever Seen Already Exists? 3 by cin4ed | 2 comments on Hacker News. I was thinking recently about how images work at the data level, and it kind of broke my brain. Take a simple case: a 3×3 pixel image with only black and white pixels. There are only 9 pixels, and each has 2 options (black or white), so the total number of possible unique images is: 2^9 = 512 That’s tiny, you could generate and look at every one of those images in a few seconds. But already, you’re looking at the complete universe of 3×3 B/W images. Every possible shape, face, glitch, symbol, if it can exist in that resolution and color range, it’s already in there. Now scale up. A 1920×1080 image (full HD), with each pixel using 24-bit RGB (i.e., 16.7 million colors), has: (2^24)^(1920×1080) = 2^49,766,400 ≈ 10^14,983,365 That number is incomprehensibly massive. It’s orders of magnitude larger than the number of atoms in the observable universe (≈10⁸⁰). And yet, it’s finite. Which me...

Ask HN: How do you handle licensing and revenue leaks for self-hosted software? 2 by lexokoh | 1 comments on Hacker News. I’ve been exploring the hidden costs of self-hosted software, specifically, the silent revenue leaks that come from unauthorized deployments, lingering trials, and unmonitored usage. Most devs I spoke to shared stories of enterprise clients spinning up “temporary” instances that ran for months, or trials that never actually ended. If you’re selling self-hosted, how are you tackling this? I wrote up my findings and what can be done about it here: https://ift.tt/h9MJIoG Would love to hear how the HN community is handling this.

Ask HN: We built a travel app – a classic tarpit idea. What now? 2 by kenforthewin | 1 comments on Hacker News. We built TripJam, a collaborative travel app with deep AI integration: https://tripjam.app/ For context, we're a group of friends who decided to build a travel app after being frustrated with planning our travel across group chats, Google Maps, spreadsheets, and other tools. We've spent a lot of time polishing the app to include modern group chat features, deep AI integration with function calls to manage your trip end to end, and publishing a mobile app on iOS. But we're very new to the startup space and are learning as we go - we made the double whammy mistakes of building something before validating the idea with potential customers, and building in an overly saturated space that will be a constant uphill battle to acquire and maintain users. We're looking for advice on next steps - potential pivots, growth hacks, anything really. Hoping for brutal hones...

Big Beautiful Bill R&D Tax: Will tech go on a hiring spree again? 3 by jbverschoor | 1 comments on Hacker News. Since 2022, in the US, R&D had to be amortized in 5-15 years. That was one of the reasons (big)tech stopped hiring. Now, the BBB[1] has changed that under Sec. 111002. Deduction of domestic research and experimental expenditures. Does this mean we can expect bitech to go on a (temporary) hiring spree? Current Law: Under current law, taxpayers are required to deduct research or experimental expenditures over a five-year period. Research or experimental expenditures that are attributable to research conducted outside the U.S. are required to be deducted over a 15-year period. Provision: This provision allows taxpayers to immediately deduct domestic research or experimental expenditures paid or incurred in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024, and before January 1, 2030. This provision includes rules to coordinate the immediate deductibility of domestic res...

Ask HN: Best on device LLM tooling for PDFs? 2 by martinald | 1 comments on Hacker News. I've got very used to using the "big" LLMs for analysing PDFs Now llama.cpp has vision support; I tried out PDFs with it locally (via LM Studio) but the results weren't as good as I hoped for. One time it insisted it couldn't do "OCR", but gave me an example of what the data _could_ look like - which was the data. The other major problem is sometimes PDFs are actually made up of images; and it got super confused on those as well. Given this is so new I'm struggling to find any tools which make this easier.

We give data to train AI models and get nothing in return 2 by whooocareslol | 2 comments on Hacker News. I’m less worried about being replaced by AI and more frustrated that companies are stealing our data to train AI models they profit from with potential to make us less valuable over time. Whether you’re: - A coder writing clean, reusable functions or internal tooling, - A UGC creator making tutorials or product demos, - A data labeller doing precise annotations... …all of that labor creates intellectual property that ends up training AI models. But here’s the problem: we don’t own any of it, even though it wouldn’t exist without us. They take our data—by hook or by crook—train a model, and extract massive value from it, while paying us nothing or, at best, a small one-time fee. Yes, companies do play a valuable role. But they are using our work to replace us or devalue our work. So we have every right to ask for more. If you really think about it, data mining is much like minera...

Ask HN: Do people actually pay for small web tools? 2 by scratchyone | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hey all, there's a lot of web stuff and tools I'd love to make that I think would honestly be worth a small subscription ($5/mo maybe). I'm always a bit wary of approaching these ideas though because I feel like nobody would ever pay for small web stuff? I see a lot of success stories but I don't know how much they can be trusted. Those of you who have built small single-use indie tools, do you find that anybody at all actually subscribes? A lot of the stuff I wanna try involves AI so I'd have to make sure subscription profits offset the cost of providing free demos.

Is current state of querying on observability data broken? 4 by pranay01 | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hey folks! I’m a maintainer at SigNoz[0], an open-source observability platform Looking to get some feedback on my observations on querying for o11y and if this resonates with more folks here I feel that current observability tooling significantly lags behind user expectations by failing to support a critical capability: querying across different telemetry signals. This limitation turns what should be powerful correlation capabilities into mere “correlation theater”, a superficial simulation of insights rather than true analytical power. Here’s the current gaps I see 1/ Suppose I want to retrieve logs from the host which have the highest CPU in the last 13 minutes. It’s not possible to query this seamlessly today unless you query the metrics first and paste the results into logs query builder and retrieve your results. Seamless correlation across signal querying is nearly impossible...

Ask HN: Our only salesperson was working for a competitor. Advice? 4 by betrayawayed555 | 0 comments on Hacker News. We recently discovered that our sole sales employee - a remote, highly trusted team member - had been secretly working with a competitor for over 16 months, possibly longer, potentially spanning their entire tenure with us. This was all while under a full-time employment agreement with a non-compete clause (covering both during and post-employment). We’re a small Canadian B2B SaaS company (< 20 people), incorporated in one province, with this employee based in another. They attended trade shows representing the competitor (while claiming they were there on our behalf or calling in sick). They serviced inbound leads for the competitor during our workday, likely used our ZoomInfo subscription for their benefit, and were in a position to divert leads without our knowledge. The list goes on. We were genuinely on good terms - we liked them, trusted them, and thought we ...

What do people use for on-call these days? 2 by skullum | 0 comments on Hacker News. Pagerduty feels like it used to be the dominant player especially for small teams but I found it surprisingly expensive and cumbersome to use for a small team and Ops-genie is EOL, splunk on-call feels weird to use w/o splunk.

Ask HN: Should Hacker News have a "prompts" section to AI code novel apps/games? 2 by amichail | 2 comments on Hacker News. Each post would consist of a self-contained prompt for coding a novel web app/game along with the recommended AI(s) for doing so.

Ask HN: Will We Rethink Calendars? 3 by kamphey | 1 comments on Hacker News. In the past the whole world used different calendars and ways to represent time. Currently a few religions still have alternative cale dars. In the near future do you think calendars will be vastly different than now?

Ask HN: Why not have people vote on one question for an AI to answer each day? 3 by amichail | 2 comments on Hacker News. Such an AI could devote massive computational resources to answering one question daily.

Ask HN: How would you fund a tech cooperative owned by workers and users? 3 by prrada | 2 comments on Hacker News. I built a marketplace for therapist friends (sana.so) and we're trying to turn it into a proper cooperative. Inspired by David Graeber's anarchist ideas, I want to create a tech tool that's genuinely owned by both users (therapists) and workers, with direct voting rather than committees (Voting in committee members doesn't feel democratic enough for me). What models or examples should we investigate for funding and governance?

Ask HN: What's your go-to message queue in 2025? 4 by enether | 1 comments on Hacker News. The space is confusing to say the least. Message queues are usually a core part of any distributed architecture, and the options are endless: Kafka, RabbitMQ, NATS, Redis Streams, SQS, ZeroMQ... and then there's the “just use Postgres” camp for simpler use cases. I’m trying to make sense of the tradeoffs between: - async fire-and-forget pub/sub vs. sync RPC-like point to point communication - simple FIFO vs. priority queues and delay queues - intelligent brokers (e.g. RabbitMQ, NATS with filters) vs. minimal brokers (e.g. Kafka’s client-driven model) There's also a fair amount of ideology/emotional attachment - some folks root for underdogs written in their favorite programming language, others reflexively dismiss anything that's not "enterprise-grade". And of course, vendors are always in the mix trying to steer the conversation toward their own solution. If you’ve b...

Ask HN: Email Provider for Main Account? 2 by agent008t | 5 comments on Hacker News. Which email provider would you recommend for your main account? (Banking, government + other important stuff) With Gmail, I am concerned that I could get arbitrarily locked out of my account with no recourse. Also, I wouldn't mind moving away from Google in general to support a more decentralized internet. If it is based outside of the US, even better. But these considerations are secondary. So I am looking for something secure, reliable, and usable (good search, not getting overrun with spam) that I could use for the next few decades. Privacy is only important insofar as reasonable security is concerned (vague, I know, but my point is that practicality is more important). What do you use and what have been the pros and cons?

Why does macOS prefer using PDF files for icons or UI elements? 2 by damiaozi | 1 comments on Hacker News. Running `find /System/Library/ -name "*.pdf"` reveals that macOS uses many .pdf files as icons or UI elements. For example, the VPN connection animation in the menu bar seems to cycle through a sequence of .pdf files located at: /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/VPN.menu/Contents/Resources/VPN[0-4].pdf Why PDF, instead of more traditional formats like PNG or SVG? Is this due to Quartz/CoreGraphics rendering benefits, vector scaling efficiency, or something else?

Ask HN: Why is no one making FILE_ID.DIZ anymore? 7 by reconnecting | 1 comments on Hacker News. Back in the BBS days, nearly every ZIP folder contained `.nfo` and `FILE_ID.DIZ` files. I searched for "FILE_ID.DIZ" on GitHub and found only [1], [2], [3] files from last year. How is it possible that such a strong habit has completely disappeared?

Ask HN: How did you fund your early stage hardware startup? 2 by mrtb | 0 comments on Hacker News. I'm making drones from scratch with a buddy, each one costs ~$2000+ to build and they incur damage from test flights. I hold down a 9-6 software gig to cover our costs, while my mate is on it full time. So far I've put ~$30k into machines, components, and his living costs, and I help him on evenings and weekends. We have good route-to-market plans and momentum with prototypes, but we need more time and cash to mature our flagship model - we crashed one of our latest builds and money is tight. Seems like we're in a liminal space where we can't advance the RnD enough working part time with my spare change, but we're also far away enough from a mature product to be an easy sell to investors. We're exploring avenues to raise ~$250k in exchange for ~5% equity. How do you get investors on board with projects where the MVP is months away and requires that kind of capit...

Which AI Agent is your favorite? 2 by jeyzolo | 1 comments on Hacker News. I've created a directory for AI agents, and I'm curious about which ones are the most popular and frequently used. Have you started using AI agents to assist with your daily tasks? Which AI agent is your favorite?

Ask HN: How do you store the knowledge gained in a day? 4 by dennisy | 6 comments on Hacker News. Each day I (and I assume most knowledge workers, devs, creatives) read many articles, papers, code snippets, AI responses, discord messages etc. At the end of the day some of this information is most likely lodged in your brain and the digital version can be discarded. However some of it should be retained manually in some system - or at least I feel it should. What approaches do people use to consolidate and store this information to allow all tabs etc to be closed for the next work day?

Ask HN: Claude 3.7 or Gemini 2.5 Pro? 4 by apt-apt-apt-apt | 4 comments on Hacker News. I have been using Cursor with Gemini 2.5 Pro (exp-03-25) for TypeScript, and haven't felt the need to switch nor can I tell any difference between the two. Claude or Gemini?

Ask HN: Not sure about the future of tech 2 by xblpob | 0 comments on Hacker News. The last few years working in tech have been pretty brutal and now with all of the AI hype in full swing I have never felt like more of a replaceable cog in a machine. It’s always seemed like a little bit of a race to cash out as quickly as possible by promising the world, selling, then letting everyone else deal with the fallout but now it seems like everyone is seeing the door about to close in front of them so they need to extract every ounce of productivity from those below them to get out while they still can. I don’t want to be treated like a component in someone’s vehicle that you just swap out for a new one after you’ve burned it out which is what my entire job feels like more than ever. I’m not excited about “AI” and I think while useful to some extent it will do more harm than good as our monkey brains scramble to make sense of what it is and fight each other for control over it. Does anyone...

Ask HN: Any recommendations for a portable music player 3 by laserstrahl | 2 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN, Can you help me which portable DAP to buy? I used the rockbox derivates. But dunno which one I should use. The modern ones would be too pricey. Like the shanling etc. But maybe you can tell me how do you listen to FLAC music on the go? Is there anything I can buy?

Ask HN: Gemini Reliability Degrading? 4 by martinald | 1 comments on Hacker News. I've been using Gemini (via the web interface) as my main 'daily driver' since 2.5 Pro came out. It's been super reliable until probably the past few days, where I am seeing a lot of slowness and 'errors', with chats not working or stopping after a few hundred tokens response. I've also seen problems with some AI IDEs Gemini integrations recently too, which makes me suspect it is a capacity problem. Curious if people are seeing this with bigger/more sophisticated workloads. Wonder if Google are having serious scale problems, which probably would be the first time I've ever written that!

Why is it so hard to find founders to bounce off ideas in city you are visiting? 2 by nickevante | 1 comments on Hacker News. I’m beyond frustrated, and I know I’m not alone. Every time I visit a new city—whether it’s for work, a conference, or just to explore—I try to connect with local founders to bounce ideas off, get feedback, or just nerd out about startups. But it’s like trying to crack a secret code. Unless you’re already in the “inside circle,” it feels impossible to get face time with anyone who’s actually building something cool. Why is this so damn hard? I get that founders are busy—trust me, I am too. But it’s not just about time. It’s about access. In every city, there’s this invisible wall around the startup scene. If you’re not already part of the clique, good luck getting in. It’s like you need a VIP pass just to have a casual coffee chat. I’ve tried cold emails, LinkedIn messages, even showing up at random coworking spaces, but it’s always the same: crickets unless ...

What are some app ideas that you think would benefit people on a perosnal level? 2 by gwcodes | 2 comments on Hacker News. I am honestly so eager to build an app but I haven't got any plan as to what I would build. I'm thinking that this app should be on mobile so that I can learn React Native. Any tips on anything are greatly appreciated!

Ask HN: Fictional business books like The Goal 2 by jimnotgym | 0 comments on Hacker News. I feel like The Goal and The Phoenix Project were seminal books, partly because their fictional style allowed people to see the ideas in applied form. Are there any other fictional business books we should be reading

Ask HN: If 1 person can control 10 AI agents, why would still need that person? 2 by flornt | 4 comments on Hacker News. With agentic frameworks becoming more accessible, it's plausible that one skilled individual could coordinate multiple AI agents to do the work of an entire team. Ten agents handling design, code, legal reviews, content, ops—coordinated by a single human or whatever you can think. It sounds like augmentation. But taken further, it’s also clear that this compresses the chain of value. Why pay for ten salaries—or even one intermediary—when a client could learn to command the agents directly? Some say, “You still need a conductor for the orchestra.” That one person is the integrator, the pilot, the one who makes sure the agents are working toward a coherent outcome. Fair enough. But here’s the counterpoint: clients already do this kind of integration. They don’t ask their suppliers to "be creative," they give precise goals and constraints. If the agents...

Ask HN: Is there a service that offers Common Crawl as an API? 3 by georgehill | 2 comments on Hacker News. I am trying to do some data analysis work. I don't want the full dataset. I want only two things: give me the hostname, and give me all the pages or URLs with their HTML.

Ask HN: What's the best framework for building Mac/Windows desktop apps in 2025? 4 by anoojb | 4 comments on Hacker News. I'm a PM now, but I spent most of my developer career building backend APIs in C# and Python. I also spent some time building mobile apps with C# with a cross-platform framework. I'd like to build a few toy desktop apps this year. I don't have a problem trying out Typescript Javascript, but I'm reticent to build on top of Electron given performance and bloat issues for such simple apps. Would prefer something that's Python based but most of my research show bindings for something like GTK or Qt which feels scary. I'm sure Flutter is useful, but I'm not very interested in something that's declined so precipitously. The most promising option I've tried is Lynx and it seems interesting but wary of getting caught in some nasty corners with Rust since I'm not very familiar there. Curious if others have experience here? Would...

Ask HN: Anyone using knowledge graphs for LLM agent memory/context management? 2 by mbbah | 0 comments on Hacker News. I’m building infrastructure for LLM agents and copilots that need to reason and operate over time—not just in single prompts. One core challenge I keep hitting: managing evolving memory and context. RAG works for retrieval, and scratchpads are fine for short-term reasoning—but once agents need to maintain structured knowledge, track state, or coordinate multi-step tasks, things get messy fast; the context becomes less and less interpretable. I’m experimenting with a shared memory layer built on a knowledge graph: - Agents can ingest structured/unstructured data into it - Memory updates dynamically as agents act - Devs can observe, query, and refine the graph. - It supports high-level task modeling and dependency tracking (pre/postconditions) My questions: - Are you building agents that need persistent memory or task context? - Have you tried structured memory (graph...

Ask HN: How are you managing LLM inference at the edge? 6 by gray_amps | 1 comments on Hacker News. I’m building a system to run small LLMs on-device (mobile, IoT, on-prem servers) and would love to hear how others have tackled the challenges. Context: Use cases: offline chatbots, smart cameras, local data privacy Models: 7–13B parameter quantized models (e.g. Llama 2, Vicuna) Constraints: limited RAM/flash, CPU-only or tiny GPU, intermittent connectivity Questions: What runtimes or frameworks are you using (ONNX Runtime, TVM, custom C++)? How do you handle model loading, eviction, and batching under tight memory? Any clever tricks for quantization, pruning, or kernel fusions that boost perf? How do you monitor and update models securely in the field? Looking forward to your benchmarks, war stories, and code pointers!

Why do websites prevent pasting via onpaste="return false;" 3 by gleenn | 1 comments on Hacker News. Why do websites do this? Isn't it trivial for bots etc to easily side-step any protection this might give? Or is it just to make people "double-check" their inputs? I find it completely maddening because I would assume I'm way more likely to correctly input a copy-pasted e.g. routing or account number than if I have to manually enter anything. Can we just agree this is terrible UI and is probably detrimental to correct data entry? What am I missing? In frustration I even sometimes open the dev tools and remove this attribute on elements out of spite.

Ask HN: Help us validate our idea of an administrative app for small businesses 2 by Kuyawa | 0 comments on Hacker News. We’re developing an administrative app designed to simplify tasks like invoicing, purchases, inventory, and expense tracking for small businesses. Our goal is to save time and reduce stress for busy entrepreneurs while providing a very affordable subscription model. We know it's boring and not AI related but somebody has to do it and that's us, think of it as a QuickBooks or FreshBooks competitor in a very tough market. We’d love your input to ensure the app meets real needs, if you can spare 2 minutes to answer 3 quick questions 1. What’s your biggest pain point when managing administrative tasks (e.g., invoicing, inventory, finances, paperwork)? 2. What tools do you currently use, and what do you wish they did better? 3. Would a streamlined, all-in-one app for these tasks be valuable to you? Why or why not? We’d really appreciate your honest thoughts as ...

Ask HN: What's the best email newsletter tool for a software engineer 2 by stuart_real | 0 comments on Hacker News. I have a small list (<1000) of email subscribers who have signed up and opted in to be notified when new blog posts are published on my website. What's the best tool to set up such an email-based newsletter? Kit? Mailchimp? Something else? I am a software engineer, so I do want maximal control and the ability to maintain this system for years to come. I am concerned that many SAAS do enshittify the product over time, so I would prefer to control it as much as possible.

Ask HN: Jaded with AI – Alternatives? 4 by career_question | 2 comments on Hacker News. Hello HN, Since a young age, I've been interested in machine and deep learning. I’m currently in the second year of my Computer Science BSc (Toronto, Canada) and already have almost 2 years of experience in industry (computer vision + NLP) and over a year in academia doing AI research (both full time). Additionally, I have quite a few open-source projects (all DL-related) that have garnered over 1,000 stars in total, and some are very well-known in their respective niches. Lately though, I'm getting the impression that the field is over-saturated, with new research being published on a daily basis, and I identify as nothing but a cog in the machine as an AI developer. I understand that all domains are affected by this phenomenon to some degree, but in AI in particular, my work doesn’t feel personal at all, and to myself, I ironically seem like a robot that trains a vision transformer to d...

Ask HN: Did Aliexpress stop shipping to US? 7 by olalonde | 3 comments on Hacker News. I was going to buy a component on Aliexpress and noticed this at checkout: "Item not deliverable to the selected country/region". Did anyone else notice this? Is this because the seller doesn't want to deal with possible customs clearance issues? I have previously bought from this seller without this issue in the past.

Ask HN: Anyone else give up on trying to get rich? 6 by 999900000999 | 6 comments on Hacker News. Let me preference this by saying I'm comfortable where I'm at. I have a solid upper middle class job and I can afford to take vacations and travel. I'm doing much better than I could of ever hopped to when I was growing up. However, in my mid 30s, something is different. I went from trying to come up with multi-million dollar ideas and cold calling( tweeting/emailing) VCs asking for funding and feedback. Now I'm just content working on small games. I have another project which is basically a music/lyric video generator in Unity. I really like the technical aspects of creating a startup, picking a stack and hacking something together. I hate the business side. Idea guys with half-baked ideas who expect free prototypes. I like building stuff with my friends, but actually figuring out how to make money... That's the hard part.

Ask HN: Hackathons feel SO fake now. Anyone else noticing this? 4 by sepidy | 1 comments on Hacker News. Been going to a bunch of hackathons in SF lately and honestly, everything feels fake. There are like 20 sponsors handing out credits for their tools that all do the same thing. Half the time, they can’t even explain what they’re for. They’re just hoping someone uses them so they can count it as adoption. Everyone jams these into projects to check a box, and what gets built is mostly BS with zero innovation. Was it always like this and I'm noticing it now, or has something changed?

I built a pixel art editor after playing Octopath Traveler II 3 by Kobayashiii | 0 comments on Hacker News. After playing Octopath Traveler II , I was really inspired by its art style and decided to create my own pixel drawing app from scratch. It's still in the early stages, but it already supports basic drawing, undo/redo, and a clean UI focused on pixel-perfect design. I plan to add frame-by-frame animation support in the next version. You're welcome to try it out and share your thoughts! If you like the project, a on GitHub would mean a lot to me. Live demo: https://ift.tt/R5wYink GitHub: https://ift.tt/ibRLkOc

Ask HN: When do tariffs get levied? Who specifically charges them and how? 3 by givemeethekeys | 1 comments on Hacker News. I'm trying to learn more about the operational side of tariffs. - How do they get calculated? - Who calculates them and what tools do they use to calculate them? - When is the calculation done, and who pays for them? What I'm imagining: 1. The Exporter want to ship something to America from Vietnam. 2. The shipping company loads it up and sends it to LA. 3. Item arrives at the Port of LA. 4. The Importer collects the item (or bulk items), and the port's tariff collectors inspect the shipment, calculate the tariff based on their valuation and tariff chart and charge the importer for the goods before they can be released. Is that right? How does the importer determine the cost ahead of time - is there an online calculator? How does the import department ensure that the value of goods isn't being low balled? Thanks!

Ask HN: What's a good system to remember to wear my reading glasses at my desk? 3 by dottjt | 10 comments on Hacker News. One thing that's been recommended by my optometrist is to start wearing reading glasses at my desk for computer work. I work from home and spend a solid 8+ hours in front of the computer. The only issue I have is that I struggle to remember to wear them. Actually, I'm not sure if it's even a memory thing. It's like they're right there on my desk, but I just don't put them on most of the time. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to overcome this?
