Show HN: Using eBPF to see through encryption without a proxy
An eBPF agent that captures traffic flowing through the Linux kernel. By attaching to TLS/SSL functions, data is intercepted before and after encryption and then passed to flexible plugins with full visibility along with all of the available context – process/container/host/user/protocol/etc. Qtap makes it possible to understand what’s happening with your egress traffic, without modifying […]
More people are getting their tattoos removed
For decades, Americans were covering their bodies with more and more tattoos. Now, they’re getting them removed as fast as they can. We speak with the patients going under the laser, the tattoo-removal technicians whose business is booming, and the tattoo artists whose work is being erased to understand how something so permanent became so […]

Notes on rolling out Cursor and Claude Code
Notes on rolling out Cursor and Claude Code There is plenty of commentary online about how AI will replace coding as we know it in the future. There’s huge amounts of prediction about what the future holds.1 But I haven’t come across many case studies of rolling out the tools that exist today. So here’s […]

Microservices Are a Tax Your Startup Probably Can’t Afford
Why splitting your codebase too early can quietly destroy your team’s velocity — and what to do instead. In a startup, your survival depends on how quickly you can iterate, ship features, and deliver value to end-users. This is where the foundational architecture of your startup plays a big role; additionally, things like your tech […]
Ask HN: What are good high information density UIs (screenshots, apps, sites)
Just yesterday I tried to find examples of good high information density UIs… and seems to be an impossible task. Search engines are full to the brim with vague articles repeating each other’s talking points, and exception being this blog post by Matthew Ström: https://matthewstrom.com/writing/ui-density/ Image search is no better, with largely irrelevant results. In […]
Yes, the Apple II MouseCard IRQ Is Synced to the VBL
A little technical post to document something that was apparently not obvious to everybody. I recently questioned myself and others in the Apple II dev community about the Apple II MouseCard, its interrupts, and their synchronisation with the Apple II vertical blanking. Documentation about the card states that the IRQ is synchronised to the VBL: […]
Will protein design tools solve the snake antivenom shortage?
Introduction The dismal state of snake antivenom production A primer on snake venom heterogeneity A primer on snake antivenom Do computationally designed antivenoms actually solve anything? An addendum: the NYT article over universal antivenoms (Note: In case you were at ICLR and missed this, I did an interview with Sergey Ovchinnikov(of protein design fame)last week!) […]
