UltraMagnuson Voyager 1 runs on 69 KB of memory and an 8-track tape recorder

This YouTube video is just a trailer for the documentary, it does look amazing. It looks like the entire documentary is available on some free streaming sites, here's one: https://play.xumo.com/free-movies/it-s-quieter-in-the-twilig...

If that doesn't work, try using a VPN set to the US as country.

UltraMagnuson Microsoft May Have Created the Slowest Windows in 25 Years with Windows 11

Ditch the snipping tool, and try my favorite screen capture tool, FastStone Capture: https://www.faststone.org/FSCaptureDetail.htm

I am not associated with this software, just a very happy user. You get a lifetime license for $20, it's constantly updated with new features, and is a joy to use.

UltraMagnuson Hacking India's largest automaker: Tata Motors

Not open source, but I have used this before, and they have a very generous free tier: https://www.gitguardian.com/monitor-internal-repositories-fo...

You install their Github app and give them access to your Github repo (private repos are ok too) and they run a Github workflow when each PR is submitted scanning for secrets that should not be in the code. Really happy with how their product works.

UltraMagnuson Ask HN: Dark Mode for HN?

There is also https://hackerweb.app/

It has the extra benefit of only showing 60 latest HN items in 2 pages of 30, which helps me not spend too much time on HN going down interesting rabbit holes.

UltraMagnuson Ask HN: What feature flags platform do you use?

I should clarify that I was referring to the SDK for Statsig as an OpenFeature provider, only boolean flags are supported right now: https://github.com/open-feature/dotnet-sdk-contrib/tree/main...

UltraMagnuson Ask HN: What feature flags platform do you use?

I just finished evaluating a bunch of feature flag platforms for my employer this past week. Self-hosting and having a .Net SDK was important to us. Below are the results.

Best options:

-----------------

    Flagsmith: has UI and can be self-hosted for free (BSD-3 license).

    GO Feature Flag: Completely free, but has no UI, although feature flags can be defined in JSON/YAML files checked into Github

    Flagd: Completely free, but has no UI.

    Statsig: Free plan covers our needs for a year or two. The .Net SDK is lacking, but we can use REST API instead.

Too expensive/cannot self-host:

    Growthbook

    Kameleoon

    Split.io

    DevCycle

    LaunchDarkly

UltraMagnuson GQL – Git Query Language

Amazing work! Just tried it out on a couple of my repos and it works great. Thank you, starred on Github ;)

I would like to request a feature --> Can you allow the output produced by GQL to be in different serializable formats, like JSON?

I see a lot of potential to this if the GQL output could be piped to C# LINQ queries.

UltraMagnuson Global Disease Monitoring and Forecasting with Wikipedia

This should be called Sick-ipedia :)

UltraMagnuson Elon Musk argues that putting a million people on Mars ensures humanity's future

So, Musk is doing PR for the new Chris Nolan movie, now? I don't remember seeing it in the trailers for Interstellar, but did the rockets have the SpaceX logo on them?

"to ensure humanity's future" This guy...unbelievable.
