I'm assuming you use Emacs? Are you using a special "hacker news mode" or something more generic?

I did exactly the same and it was so much fun. It wasn't about bringing anything novel to the table, it was just a fun challenge for myself. I finished and now I'm writing a game using it, although now the challenge has gone I am not making much progress on that. But never mind, I had fun! I wouldn't have had that fun or satisfaction if I had vibe coded it instead.

Yep, didn't work for me

I've started seeing things like this recently too. For example I was browsing through a gallery of artwork by an artist and one was blurred because it contained "sensitive material". The warning stated "food" and when I clicked to reveal the image I found that it was simply a photograph of some freshly baked bread.

A difference is that I can't just spin up a copy of George Lucas on my GPU in seconds and request it to produce something from a prompt like "a disappointing prequel".

I've suffered from exactly the same issues with Protonmail Bridge, and just this last weekend I decided (reluctantly) to move to a more standard mail provider (I chose Mailbox.org).

Aside from the UID issue discussed I also had problems with Bridge not supporting my particular use-cases. I created my own fork (see https://github.com/polaris64/proton-bridge) to work around some limitations and to add features, but maintaining this was too much work, especially as paying for a mail provider was supposed to reduce maintenance burden. I have had a pull request open since the 23rd of June to merge these to the upstream version, but so far I haven't received any comments from the Proton team.

I like ProtonMail, I just wish Bridge was more standards-compliant.

The chosen word list index is modulo its length, meaning you can play forever as long as you don't mind running into some repetition :)

I think something's wrong here :)

If you haven't done so already I'd also recommend looking at evil-collection (https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-collection). This enables Evil keybindings throughout Emacs which can certainly help.

I'm generating it every 10 minutes based on the current number of signatures on each of the letters. If you want the raw CSV it can be accessed here: https://www.polaris64.net/resources/support-or-ostracise-ric...

I did this as a way to visualise the number of signatures over time, just as a matter of interest.

seccomp is a robust way of restricting a process's syscalls so that it can only do what you allow it to.

syswall is more of an interactive tool (similar to systrace as mentioned in another comment). The goal is not to replace seccomp (it's certainly not meant to provide complete security), but rather to allow users to reason about what a process is actually doing. For example, allowing users to see if a new version does something different from the previous, perhaps meaning that malicious code was added unexpectedly.

You're right; I hadn't come across systrace before actually, but it's very similar to what syswall is trying to achieve. I'll be sure to take a look!

Yes, partially, although I wanted to create a more interactive system for end-users to reason about software. I wouldn't recommend it (certainly not yet at least) for system security, tools like seccomp and pledge will do a better job there.

I created a little programming language parser and interpreter written entirely in Rust with an optional "no_std" Crate feature allowing the parser/interpreter to work in environments where the standard library is not available (e.g. embedded devices).

The excellent Nom library was used to build the parser. The interpreter itself has no external dependencies.

By way of an example, linked is a live demo of the parser and interpreter compiled to a WASM module, allowing scripts to be parsed and executed entirely within the browser.

The project is mainly a component of another project that I'm working on, but I thought that some of you might be interested in the progress so far. Everything's open source, so please take a look at the code too (GitHub link on page). I'm planning on writing a tutorial series about this too, so I'll post a link to that when it's available.

Thanks!
