all things aside, the location at which you discovered the vulnerability is so interesting..i mean imagine being on a 2 week vacation and then amidst this happens..on a beautiful day.
each time someone sends me an xls or xlsx file, i am scared to open it in libresoft to mess up its formatting or miss something important. I always then rever to gsheet.
Re:CERN rebuilt the original browser from 1989 on Saturday February 21, 2026 @08:01AM (#47100423)
i want to meet those people who did this originally in 1989 and to ask them, did they ever think it would be this today?
Re:We Put Claude Code in Rollercoaster Tycoon on Sunday January 18, 2026 @12:07AM (#46664940)
the beauty of this game was that it was developed in Assembly Code and on top of that by majorly one person.

I've been trying to locate the dev of this game since a long time, so I can thank them for an amazing experience.

If anyone knows their social or anything, please do share, including OP.

Also, nice work on CC in this. May actually be interested in Claude Code now.

Ask HN: How to Find Investors?

Greetings HNThere is enough knowledge on this on the internet and youtube videos, nonetheless, I wanted to ask some pros here, how and where to find and pitch to the right people.I've bootstrapped a lot of failed projects, and I am thinking of giving the VC / Investor-based sourcing a try.I'm just looking for the experience, more than actual funding too, if that makes sense.I am currently not...

Re:How to Grow Almost Anything on Monday August 04, 2025 @09:30AM (#44785524)
i have slighlty old iphone and boy the notion app is crazy laggy. You are right, i saw a video where the guys spent everything literally on UI design, even that video had comments saying, should have invested in an efficient backend.

my mind broke just being on the first page.
I couldnt agree more.
Re:Ask HN: AI agent platform that runs locally on Thursday May 22, 2025 @05:35AM (#44060383)
i wanted something similar, especially as im a big advocate of using time blocking method and i use gcal all the time. on top of notion and onenote.

I planned to make something small around this, but currently due to limited time, i am not able to put my hands in it. If you do find a solution please do let me know as well.

I ommited this line in point 1: ..."and then paste it, and you can edit it too where you wish to paste/post."

my apologies.

Hey thanks! To answer few of your points: 1. If I understand rightly, If you finish the typing, there is an option to share that pops up, then in that it takes your wpm and accuracy and sets a pre written little paragraph. You can share on X or Threads, or directly Copy the text and then paste it [I've provided the copy button].

2. I could, I don't know if it would fit in to its simplicity, I'm trying to set this apart for beginners especially because some other tools are too intimidating to start with.. you could help me understand this feature more. Maybe I can work around this.. This is a good one though, I will have a look into this.

3. Initially it was 0%, but I thought I'd do it 100% and as the user types it remains 100%, until he makes a typo and it drops. Like a minus minus effect from 100, so the type will try to keep it at 100. This is just personal opinion tbh.

Make sense?

do share the db you used for starters and the overall stack like MERN or MEAN or Firestore BAAS or Supabase or something extremely different..
Re:Moving away from US cloud services on Tuesday March 18, 2025 @06:12AM (#43397604)
i dont think its that easy as others pointed out but yes I think it would help to have some strict startups around EU maybe that force companies to comply...but then again, from indie hackers/indei makers sides, europe hasnt been too incentivized/friendly for/to start ups either compared to other parts of the world...I think this is one of the major reasons.
