New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Ldump – serialize any Lua data
Show HN: Ldump – serialize any Lua data
20 by girvel | 2 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.

New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: How can I realistically change careers?
Ask HN: How can I realistically change careers?
7 by throw101010101 | 2 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'm no spring chicken anymore. But I'm not against starting at the very bottom and working my way up). I realise this is quite a broad ask, and apologies for the throwaway. I’d appreciate any insights, especially from those who’ve shifted from established careers to something entirely different. Thanks in advance!

For example: apart from HN, I take part in Reddit and Bluesky. Facebook and Instagram ane inertia. Twitter/X is never more.
