atopuzov··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (October 2025)
Porting a game to SteamDeck my friends did. The game is python based with a bespoke OpenGL game engine. Got a native linux build out a week ago. Currently working on controller support.
atopuzov··on Hire-to-fire at Amazon India?
Sometimes COEs are used to punish engineers. Eg. take a look at so called "moustache" COE (which I was part of).
atopuzov··on Hire-to-fire at Amazon India?
Not gonna dox other people, you can easy figure out my name and reach out with a "real name".

atopuzov··on G7: Rich nations back deal to tax multinationals
It's not like MNCs in Ireland actually pay any tax anyway (various loopholes and agreements provided by the Irish government). To quote from [1] "the revelations shone a fresh spotlight on Irish tax policy that “has been designed precisely to facilitate this kind of avoidance”."

MoltenVK allows you to run Vulkan on Metal (MacOS).

Twitch is owned by Amazon.
atopuzov··on Why is Kubernetes getting so popular?
So now it's kubernetes + kludgy shell/Python scripts.
atopuzov··on Rtty – Access a device’s terminal from anywhere via the web
Because SSH might be blocked, and not only trough port 22 blocking but firewalls sniffing traffic and blocking on OpenSSH in the connection (eg. SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_8.1).
atopuzov··on Rtty – Access a device’s terminal from anywhere via the web
Great tool, IMHO best web terminal app (it uses xterm.js).
atopuzov··on CorkScrew: A tool for tunneling SSH through HTTP proxies
Nice find! Thanks. I have some other tools for being productive from "constrained" environments. I'm running ttyd [1] exposed trough nginx (to deal with auth and ssl) which gives me a terminal in the browser (using xtermjs). It's pretty good. Another option I used before was shellinabox [2] (also trough nginx). Terminal emulation is not the greatest. For GUI access i use NoVNC (exposed trough nginx) and have a systemd unit starting vncserver session.

Try criticising corporations, especially the one you work for or the one the company you work for works with.

Nope, you need to have a Developer account.

Hug your on-call engineer.
atopuzov··on An Introduction to Recursion Schemes (2014)
I see what you did there :-)
atopuzov··on Convincing engineers to join your team
Have you tried offering other things? Like work from home, work remotely, more interesting work, various education ranging from various courses, conferences up to paid tuition at an university (and then actually giving people the time to do it)?. And please don't say you have snacks, have better working environments not snacks.

As a startup you mostly expect people to work 10+h a day.

It's not always about the money, but if all other things are equal, yeah everybody is gonna take the higher payed position.

atopuzov··on Ask HN: Codebase at my work is a complete mess, what should I do?

atopuzov··on EMMC Hacking, or: how oranav fixed long-dead Galaxy S3 phones (2017)

Having one of those S3 phones turned me away from Samsung phones for good.

Amazon just wants to screw over it's employees and save money.
atopuzov··on Elixir on Google Cloud Platform and App Engine
There are 2 types of probes: readiness and liveness [1]. Define your readiness probe so it passes when you are ready to take the traffic (eg. connected to the db).
