Cool talk, thanks for sharing. What happened to the project? I see no mention to it on the Github Next website and even internal links to it like on page [1] go to a 404 - https://githubnext.com/projects/ace/

Are there any tools for handling these kind of CVEs contextually? (Besides migrating all our base images to chainguard/docker hardened images etc)
(Tried looking on your blog, but ended up instead reading your article about the little ESP8266 clock which convinced me to buy one to play with myself, thanks!)
This was a fun little project I did over the Christmas holidays but only finished off recently. Basically I precalculated the public transport time between the most populated towns in Switzerland to every ski field (about 350 of them!) and then built a little web app around it using Django.
You can choose to prioritise shortest (lowest time overall) versus fairest (smallest variance in group members).
Totally free to use. Next steps are to integrate it with live snow conditions/open lifts...
Claude did help a lot with the FE part. The biggest part was actually finding the best public transport stop for each ski field - that was a very manual process trawling through skimap.org images and Anreise info on ski resort websites.
I have very limited spare time these days, but sometimes on my walk to work I can think of an idea/feature, plan out what I want it to do (and sometimes use the github app to revise the existing code), then send out a few jobs. By the time I get home in the evening I've got a few PRs to review. Most of the code is useless to me, but it usually runs, and means I can jump straight into testing out the idea before going back and writing it properly myself.
Next step is to add automatic builds to each PR, so that on the way home I can just check out the different branches on my phone instead of waiting to be home to run the ios simulator :D
I live in Switzerland and am (like many people here) an avid hiker. There are a lot of great hiking websites but they all suffer from the same problem: They are ultimately just a list of hiking routes that you need to plan around. Because I do a hike almost every week, the extra planning has become an overhead that takes time out of my life: how far away is it, what train should I take, whats the weather situation like, do I need to bring snowshoes, etc. The 65,000km of trails in this country also gives me decision paralysis!
So I'm building an app (React native/django) which takes a users current situation and preferences and then algorithmically suggests a few best options for them that they can quickly give a yes/no to. It's integrated with a lot of data like the train timetables, snow data, weather forecast etc.
I was able to reduce an hour of planning down to 5 minutes last week, so it's definitely working for me. What I am currently trying to do is figure out if other people have this problem and there's interest in the app concept.

Potentially sacrilegious question, given this is very clearly made for Windows: Do you plan on eventually supporting macos? :D
His posts show up occasionally on HN. I find his cynical/humorous style great for seeing things from a different point of view - It's a breath of fresh air.
We've become jaded growing up in a world that is increasingly difficult to live in - in my home country we have massive cost of living increases, ever-nascent climate change, housing shortages and income inequality, aging population combined with policy changes that make life better for the boomer generation.
Many of my peers have given up hope that they will ever be able to buy their own home. We're stressed, lonely, and are a generation of test subjects to big-tech's addiction machines.
Working in tech has it's benefits and I am lucky to not be faced with many of these issues personally, but I know plenty of people my age and younger that have gone past the stage of "terrified for the world their kids will grow up in" and into a numb subsistence.
Wow, I haven't thought about this idea before. I really resonate with this and can see it being an actual reality in the next 5-10 years. That being said, I'm sure somebody has tried the approach. What's preventing it from happening now?
