Ask HN: Want to keep my software engineering skills sharphttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42681772I currently started work as a data analyst. For a data analyst, the work is quite programming heavy actually (e.g. we don't use Excel but Jupyter). But for a software engineer, the amount of programming feels low. It's more like creating quick scripts.For now, I'm having a blast but I want to keep my actual software engineering skills sharp where I also learn some stuff on a part-time basis. Preferably stuff that I can also put on a resume that will be seen as experience.What would you suggest I should do? I was thinking about joining an open-source project of a big enough scope or something. Perhaps I should insist on fun software, which would be certain web apps or game development in my case.Jan 13, 2025 9:51 AM

Ask HN: Futuristic and Sci-Fi Solutions to Fire Safetyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42677495Imagine you are tasked with a step function (10x, 100x, 1000x) improvements in fire safety, containment on a large scale basis. What would you dream up? Cost is not a factor in this case. Imagine fire becomes the existential threat. Imagine that climate change continues to be getting worse, and root causes for addressing climate change are being handled in another project.Yes, there are political, economic, societal, forest management and current technological other factors that can be instituted today for fire safety, or that are preventing better fire management, but I'm looking for the dream scenarios, not the former.Some examples I can think of:* Preventing Ember Propagation: - large shields made of nano insulating materials deployed from drones, blimps, balloons, helicopters that attract and extinguish embers. They would form "walls" around fire hotspots, and provide containment of embers. They would be net attractors of embers. Can be deployed at mega scale.* Wind prevention - WiJan 12, 2025 10:12 PM

Seeking co-founders: music tech startuphttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42675858Dear community!Long story short: I seek for prospective startup co-founders. My idea (and already working prototypes): use sensor-based wearabled to let people play music without any knowledge of skill.You can view the product here: www.musdev.euI have spent >10 years creating various music-playing/music-generating games, including usage of smartphone/smartwatch sensors, i.e., I have big experience and even bigger dedication to the topic. Some of them are present at early videos on my Youtube channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgcOxK6XFEyg6Bu6jBbU-Ag/On this channel shorts demonstrate usage of the product (2+ self-made wearable devices) allowing for playing of the music tracks. Long videos mostly explain how it is done. The corresponding Android App:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Nature.CotE&hl=en-US&pli=1implements some experimental algorithm for music creation from scratch, and is usable without additional devices.Closer to the point: despite many people I taJan 12, 2025 6:58 PM

Ask HN: What does your wife do?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42672540A bit of a back story, feel free to skip to the ASK HN.I was born in a country where the gender roles are more traditional: the man works and makes money, while the woman stays with the kids. This is how my family was, my mom was a housewife while my father was a business owner. It changed when we migrated to a more "liberal" country, and due to necessity, my mom started to work, although she always dedicated more time to the kids.I lived in many places, and been in different relationships, and most of them were more of a "50-50" kind of relationships, due to cultural norms, even though I almost always paid more for household. However, I always though that the more "correct" way to live, is in a traditional relationship. And I don't what to get into the philosophy of "Why".Today, my wife and I are planning to have children. We are in an "equal" relationship, even though I contribute more to our household expenses. My wife is career oriented. We discussed it, and I'm ready to take any rJan 12, 2025 10:28 AM

Show HN: I built an AI-powered job offer analyzer to decode total compensationhttps://www.careercomps.io/Hey HN!I built CareerComps after spending countless hours comparing complex job offers using spreadsheets. As an indie maker who's navigated job transitions in multiple fields, I realized we needed a better way to understand total compensation packages.What it does: - Instantly analyzes total compensation including base, bonus, and equity - Adjusts for location-specific cost of living and tax implications - Provides clear breakdowns of benefits values - Uses AI to generate comprehensive analysis and recommendationsBuilt using Next.js, PerplexityAI, and Vercel Edge Functions. No database or account required - complete privacy by design.Try it out: https://careercomps.ioI built this because I believe everyone deserves access to sophisticated compensation analysis tools, especially when making life-changing career decisions. Many of us struggle with comparing offers that have different components (equity, benefits, locations). This tool aims to make that process clearer.Would love your feJan 12, 2025 2:15 AM

Ask HN: Help with Cloudflare/Google Catch-22 hellhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42637803I took over IT for a client. As the final step in the process, in the Google Admin Portal, I reset the password for the admin account.This is the same account I've made hundreds of connections with in the last several weeks - Google has my IP and access history.Now, I'm locked out - I cannot use the password I changed. Google wants a recovery code or 2FA. The 2FA is not on the IT phone given to me by the company and receiving messages is not an option.I began trying to verify the domain with google, which needs cloudflare access. Cloudflare login needs a 2FA which - again - is unavailable.I am in contact with the business owner who is willing to provide all necessary information - billing records, photo id, etc.How can I talk to a PERSON at either of these companies?I tried Google's chat feature and the site has an error when I submit the form.Jan 8, 2025 7:52 PM

Show HN: Free TCG Proxy Manager for Magic, Yugioh, and Pokemonhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42635049Trading cards are awesome, but paying $30 for some cardboard isn’t. I’ve upscaled 60,000 cards from the entire catalog of Yugioh, Magic, Pokemon, & a newer game, https://elestrals.com. I've made it easy to build a decklist, download it, and then print at home. Modern inkjet printers got really good when nobody was looking. While it’s clear they’re not real cards, the upscaling makes them look great for casual play (these are not tournament legal). It’s totally free, give it a try!Supplies: [url-redacted] Printer Settings: [url-redacted] Instructions: [url-redacted]Overview: I built [name-redacted] because I had some scripts to do this lying around, and wanted to explore the new Rails 8 magic.

Show HN: Atlas of Spacehttps://atlasof.space/Hello HN! Sharing a recent side project of mine, the Atlas of Space, that I built out to explore the Solar System.As a long-time space nerd, I realized recently that I didn't have a good intuition on the scale, speed, and relative orientation of the celestial bodies around us. So over the break I built out a kind of spatial Wikipedia to click around and learn about planets, moons, asteroids, and other bodies orbiting the Sun.The physics is all simulated in the browser using simple Newtonian mechanics. There's a lot left to do from here, including modeling objects in non-Keplerian orbits and replaying different spacecraft missions.Hope you have fun clicking around, and curious to hear what I should improve next!Jan 8, 2025 2:47 PM
