Really nice hacking; well done.

I wonder who t0st is. He lives in Moscow according to Twitter. This type of work is usually done to find vulnerability in code e.g. buffer overflows. Injecting a piece of code to program machine code is a technique used in system hacking or software piracy. I can bet t0st is working or has worked for FSB. Anyway, not that is matters... it is still fun to think about it


What is your experience with other framework than React? Which one is the least stable, i.e. hardest to scrape?


Great question. Our general approach is to look up the devtools browser extension for the framework, and use that as a reference point for determining how to interface with the framework

The most popular framework we haven't implemented support for yet is Angular. (AngularJS, the old version, is straightforward.) Any of the compiled frameworks, e.g., Google Closure Compiler are difficult because they mangle identifiers. I suspect Svelte might also be tricky, but we haven't tried that yet

At the end of the day though, every framework has to write to the DOM and be accessible. So you can use selectors, or in the worst case OCR/computer vision. (IIRC, FB actively inserts dummy elements to try to prevent structural scraping).


Congrats on the launch. Have you looked at https://comet.ml If so, how do you compare to them?


Thanks! It's open source and you're in control of your own data. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25151741


Such tax has a distribution effects similar to universal income but with tons of distortions. This tax will have effect on people's decisions to work from home. Why not just pay for it with higher progressive income tax.

How much did these guys pay to get on this submarine?

This reminds me of the movie: https://www.netflix.com/title/80202236?s=a&trkid=13747225&t=...


No need to pay if you know somebody. May be a bottle of good vodka/cognac to smooth introduction to the friend of the friend :). I grew up on a Navy base, and back in 90ies visiting my hometown we'd drink and enjoy sauna on a big active service Navy ship with my childhood friends who served there at the time (as officers of course). Of course if you're an "American spy" nobody would let you even come into the town, and an unknown person trying to pay money out of the cold to for example get some photos/etc. is a sure way to get branded as one :)


They are not that air-tight... see this cat on one of the pictures (https://pics.livejournal.com/igor113/pic/001g7xxp). He was a part of a cat unit used to test submarines for air-tightness. Soviets would lock such unit up on a submarine for a week... if cats are dead, submarine is air-tight. One of the picture survived! Though I heard that cat survivability was close to 100%. Only reported cat fatalities were due to bad food.


They used cats specifically for their inbuilt probability amplification properties.


Community is shutting down. Does it mean the entire company is closing? What other businesses or clients do they have?

I've got it done without sedatives 10 years. It was quite a ride. They went only half way and I had enough. It was literally a gut-wrenching experience.


Funny, I am considered high risk and have had it done annually for about 15 years. None of my doctors ever mentioned a sedative as an option, let alone anesthesia. And it has never been a big deal. The risk associated with anesthesia is way too high to justify it for this kind of procedure.

Once every few years they find a suspicious polyp and snip it of / cauterize the wound, all with just local numbing. Still nothing worse than stubbing a toe, and certainly not worth the risk of using sedatives.


I got mine done three years back at 36 (I've had gastric issues, and my mom has colorectal cancer) - didn't use sedatives or anesthesia. Pain tolerance is relative, so my own experience wouldn't carry over.

I can understand if some people want sedatives, but anesthesia is pretty high risk like you were saying.


So much "high risk" in this thread, yet its used all over the place in United States and not a single shred of evidence to be found anywhere here...


I did some googling; here's some studies on death rate due to anasthesia: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2697561/ and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3147285/ ; the latter does highlight that the incident rate has dropped a lot since the 1940's. Another one on "anesthetic awareness", or waking up during the procedure / recalling things without being able to respond, which happens 1-2 times out of 1000: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2900098

"Not a single shred of evidence to be found" -> "I didn't actually look but like telling people they're wrong lol"


Its not my responsibility to look for evidence if you're making the claim.

If you want to come into a thread telling people that are already apprehensive about a procedure "please don't do X its dangerous!" when an _actual_ first google will give you a Mayo Clinic saying its perfectly fine, then you need to provide some fucking evidence.

Your evidence is unconvincing, but good job being condescending.


Out here in los angeles, most doctors won't even let you in the room unless you're knocked out on propofol.


To be clear I had sedatives. They just didn’t put me under.


Yeah, once.

It gets worse the farther they go.
