We run an explicit whitelist, enforced through Microsoft Entra (or was it Intune).

Still no worky for us.

What‘s used instead of MCP in reality? Just REST or other existing API things?

Show HN: Printable Thinking Templates – Mental Models You Fill Out by Hand

_1tan — Tue, 27 Jan 2026 14:19:02 +0000

I built a collection of one-page printable templates for decisions, prioritization, and reflection. The twist: they're designed to be filled out with pen and paper, not digitally.

Why paper? Writing by hand is slow—and that's the point. When I type, I can outpace my thinking. When I write, I catch myself mid-sentence realizing "wait, that's not actually true." The friction is a feature.

What's included: - Decision Canvas (pros/cons + second-order effects + cognitive bias check) - Eisenhower Matrix (urgent vs. important) - Stop/Start/Continue audit - Rubber Band Model (what's pulling me forward vs. holding me back) - Cognitive Bias Checklist (pre-flight check before any big decision)

Tech: All templates are written in Typst. GitHub Actions compiles to PDF, generates PNG thumbnails, and auto-generates the README from metadata comments in each .typ file. Zero manual release process.

Philosophy: If a decision is easily reversible, don't use a template—just move. These are for the choices that keep you up at night.

I'd love feedback on which templates are actually useful vs. overthinking-theater, and ideas for new ones.

Seems neat, anything similar in Java?

New comment by _1tan in "Ask HN: Good resources to learn financial systems engineering?"

_1tan — Sun, 23 Nov 2025 18:00:04 +0000

I am mainly working on B2B message exchange, e.g. via AS4/EDIFACT/ebix/CIM files and most parties seem to still work with a lot of batch processing. With the ongoing digitization of e.g. metering hardware and faster settlement times in the energy markets (EU-centric) I think this might not cut it anymore in the future.

Ask HN: Good resources to learn financial systems engineering?

_1tan — Sun, 23 Nov 2025 16:30:08 +0000

I work mainly in energy market communications and systems that facilitate energy trading, balancing and such. Currently most parties there take minutes to process messages and I think there could be a lot to learn from financial systems engineering. Any good resources you can recommend?

Ask HN: Tips for sensible adoption of AI-tooling in our org?

_1tan — Wed, 19 Nov 2025 17:28:11 +0000

I manage a team of around 15 devs (small org) and currently some use the built in features of IDEA or GitHub Copilot - basic stuff.

I think, also from personally contributing a lot using Claude code, that we could use the tools better and in more areas like for example code reviews. Do you have any tips or strategies on introducing the colleagues in a sensible way to what's out there?

Can you elaborate on the dependent .gitattributes file? Where can I find more information on the necessary content? Sounds super useful!

I want this but self hosted/integrated into our CI (Gitlab in our case).

Show HN: GitHub-native prediction markets using Issues (no DB)

_1tan — Sun, 12 Oct 2025 14:50:31 +0000

I built a tiny prediction market that lives entirely in GitHub Issues—no external database. Each market is a concrete question about repo work, e.g., “Will Issue #123 be closed by 2025-11-15?” Collaborators buy YES/NO shares to express beliefs, and the price (0 - 1) reflects the team’s collective forecast. This helps with planning, prioritization, and making expectations transparent - without real money.

Under the hood: signed JSON snapshots (market and ledger) embedded in issues, LMSR pricing, seq-based optimistic concurrency with retries, and collaborator-only trading.

I haven’t deployed a public instance yet for the repo - planning to do so after incorporating initial feedback. Repo: https://github.com/philippnagel/gantt

I’d love feedback on governance (caps per user, conflicts of interest), which questions are most useful (deadlines, PR merges, releases), and the UX of comment-driven trading.

Can someone explain when this would be good solution? We currently store loads of files in S3 and directly ingest them on demand in our Java app API pods. Seems interesting if we could speed up retrievals for sure.

Weird coincidence. I work on a software cryptographic module and we worked on this exact same thing today and came to a similar solution.

We use es-toolkit to replace Lodash - how would you compare your library?

We just migrated a React app with around 500k LOC and this worked quite well and flawless.
