iku··on ANSI escape injection in MCP servers: Hidden from humans, visible to AI
May I ask, what is DAST exactly? The report doesn't seem to define it, nor does it provide a link to any definition or detail page, not even an abreviation expansion. Is that Dynamic application security testing?

iku··on Show HN: Zanagrams
Great puzzle! Is there a way to give up and see all the answers? After 20 minutes or so still have 8 words to find. (Not a native English speaker.)
iku··on They’re made out of weights
Wow. Thank you.
iku··on "Stick" – A primitive/fun interactive demo of a tiny rig to animate layout
I have no idea what this is about. I see no stick figure or anything interactive, when I open this on my iPhone. I’d does say Idle below the reset button though. To make things worse, if you scroll down, you can’t scroll back to page top. I assume the main area intercepts the touch events, blocking scrolling…
iku··on Show HN: Server-rendered multiplayer games with Lua (no client code)
i think, after shooting, it has to recharge. When recharged, the ship momentarily blink-expands in yellow. This means it is ready to fire again.

But sometimes, i been left without a recharge, and without shooting, and I don't know why.

iku··on FVWM-95 (2001)
I have used a version of this called Qvwm, and even had branched it off at some point to fix some bugs... https://ahinea.com/en/tech/qvwm/ (I don't think github existed at the time or maybe I didn't know about it.)

P.S. Oh, there is the official Qvwm page: https://sourceforge.net/projects/qvwm/files/qvwm/

iku··on I finally understand Cloudflare Zero Trust tunnels
Thanks a lot. Both the post itself and the comments are very useful. I'd like to comment on the content of this post, but it'll take much time for me to wrap my head around.

In the mean time: the images in the article seem to be broken — produce 404 errors. Like this one: https://david.coffee/targets-config-screen.png

iku··on Always be ready to leave (even if you never do)
When I read the title, I was curious: is it about a business setting, or, maybe, about a private relationship / marriage context? As someone, who has walked away from more than one relationship, I see this perfectly applicable and sensible advice in both contexts, really. Thanks.
iku··on The Fancy Rug Dilemma
Very much appreciated the essay. The abstract / meaning / story component of many current-day products (value propositions) these days is unbelievable. I’d like to understand it better.

Basically, if you want to create a successful product, you have to offer some kind of relatable and attractive story for people to buy. And it is not the same thing as producing a good product per se. I’m struggling with that. And see great many people around struggling too.

iku··on Google can now read your WhatsApp messages
Sorry, but this title sounds overly click-baity to me. Google definitely can’t read or write my WhatsApp messages. Because I’m not using an Android/Google phone with WhatsApp on it. Although I am using both Gemini and WhatsApp, the whole article doesn’t apply to me, and surely I’m not unique in this.
iku··on Is budgeting just therapy but for money
Brief, but to the point. Thanks for posting.

I have tons of therapy experience (as a client) and value it. My budgeting could be way better, and I do see the parallel there, actually.

iku··on IOGraphica
I'm running it right now, and haven't yet seen a single resulting artwork, but looking at the examples, I immediately hate the typical UI hotspots, like the top left (or top right) corner, toolbars on the left and such. I'd process the captured mouse coordinates and add a steady rotation to them (when the mouse is in motion), thus turning the art into a more abstract square (or circle, if you wish) form. Somewhat like the polar coordinates graphs, some of which are really cool.
iku··on IOGraphica
macOs: “IOGraph.app” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.

Had to go into the Settings -> Security and confirm with my password to run it anyway.

iku··on The devil is intelligence without love
No. I mean that compassion grows out of recognizing yourself in suffering of the other. Suffering is humane, part of our nature. If/when I have compassion to myself (maybe, to my past self, for example), I can be truly compassionate to the other.
iku··on The devil is intelligence without love
Thanks a lot.

My take on the subject: Intelligence without compassion is, basically, hell. Compassion to others that is not rooted in compassion to oneself is shallow and will not last.

iku··on You can't optimize for rest (2021)
Apalled to see to many people in the comments not getting the point of the article. You can't optimize because optimizing (for whatever) is an effort, not rest; it undermines the point of rest. It points to the deeply engrained way we (humans, collectively) think, as if rest (or inner peace, or relaxation) was a project, a goal to achieve, or at least a to do item.
iku··on Ask HN: Have you created programs for only your personal use?
Wow. Thanks for this story.
iku··on I made a state machine compiler
Looks very nice. Seems like a good fit, potentially, for structuring some complex systems' code.

Thanks for sharing it.
