Show HN: Ldump – serialize any Lua data 9 by girvel | 1 comments on Hacker News. Some time ago, I was implementing saves for my LOVE2D game. I wanted to do a full dump of the game state -- which included closures (AI), complex graphs, sets with tables as keys and also fundamentally non-serializable data (coroutines and userdata), that require user-defined serialization/deserialization logic. I went through every Lua serialization library -- none covered all data types/cases. So I wrote my own. It is a polished version, thoroughly annotated, tested and documented. It is made to be as functional and customizable as possible (or at least I did everything I could think of). I would be happy to hear suggestions/corrections for both code and documentation -- even nitpicky ones.

Ask HN: How to automate collecting HAR file while user is browsing 5 by royalghost | 4 comments on Hacker News. Hello We are facing an intermittent issue in our web application where for some users for some reasons http requests are ending in error ( 400s ) esp. during token refresh with authentication server. Normally, we would ask user to generate the HAR ( HTTP archive file ) and we inspect to find the root cause. However, at this time it is challenging to collect the HAR file manually because the error is not consistent. Sometimes it seems to goes away but suddenly appears causing bad user experience. It is also hard to add logs etc. because the token refresh happens on the client side from the browser so technically there is no traces of it on the server side. I am looking into ways to automate generating the HAR file but it seems not straightforward to do it. If anyone of you have faces similar issue in the past and find a way to add such error logging in a web service let me ...

Ask HN: How can I realistically change careers? 4 by throw101010101 | 0 comments on Hacker News. I’ve spent almost two decades in digital-focused roles, specialising in strategy, user research, and creating frameworks for better customer experiences (ostensibly UX I suppose). While I’ve found the work rewarding, I feel it’s time for a significant career change—potentially outside of this domain entirely. I’m seeking advice from others who have made mid-career transitions: • How did you pinpoint new directions that matched your skills and interests? • What were the most effective ways to reposition your experience in a new field? • Are there any resources or strategies you’d recommend for upskilling or building networks? I've often thought about cybersecurity as something I'd like to specialise in, but it seems like bootcamps and the like aren't worth the money they charge (most advice has been starting at the bottom as an IT helpdesk worker and going from there, but I...
