Show HN: Fast Random Library for C++17
13 by GeorgeHaldane | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Morning HN. Random number generation feels is a somewhat underrepresented topic in the C++ realm. There is a lot of questionable info about it found online and even the standard library is quite behind the times in terms of it's algorithms. It suffers from trying to accommodate sometimes impractical standard requirements and has several ways of getting significantly bad statistical results. This leaves a lot easily achievable performance & quality on the table. So, being a mathematician who mostly works with stochastic models and wants these models to run fast and well, I embarked on a journey of trying to summarize "what is good and what is bad" and implement the "best stuff there currently is". Thankfully, the design of C++
Ask HN: What do you spend your money on?

How much of your money do you spend on what things and what impact do these things have on your life? What things would you like to do or have but can't because you don't have the money? If you don't mind telling for context, how much income do you have?

Show HN: Vanta – a toy version of Wireshark
3 by lixiasky | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi everyone, I recently published a small open-source project called Vanta. It’s a minimal network packet analyzer written in Go — designed more like a learning toy than a replacement for Wireshark. It currently supports parsing basic protocols like TLS, DNS, and HTTP, and includes a tiny fuzzing engine to test payload responses. You can inspect raw packet content directly from the terminal. The output is colored for readability, and the code structure is kept simple and clear. The entire program is very small — just about 400 lines of Go code. I know it’s not anywhere near Wireshark’s level, and I still use Wireshark myself for real-world analysis. But I built Vanta as a personal experiment in network parsing and to understand protocol behavior more directly. If you're curious or would like to try it out, the project is here: https://ift.tt/v50pUOr I'm happy to hear your thoughts, suggestions, or critiques. It’s just a little network toy, but maybe someone out there finds it useful or fun. Thanks for reading!
