sshbon Ask HN: Weirdest Computer Architecture?

This unconventional computing magazine came to my mind: http://links-series.com/links-series-special-edition-1-uncon...

Compute with mushrooms, compute near black holes, etc.

sshbon Moaan InkPalm Plus is weird, cheap, small, and my kind of e-reader

Postponing any of my e-reader purchases until the Daylight Computer tech would reshape the market

sshbon A 1.3B-light-year-across ring of galaxies has confounded astronomers

Reminded me of the circles in the sky method that might help studying the topological structure of the universe.

(I think I read about it first in “The shape of space” book)

sshbon Show HN: OpenLIT – Open-Source LLM Observability with OpenTelemetry

From what I can see, Openllmetry asks you to manually call tracer for non-default OpenAI libraries (i.e. not Python/Node.js) [1]

OpenLIT might be easier to integrate with any language that supports OTEL for HTTP clients — you just trace your HTTP calls to OpenAI.

sshbon Porting Linux Pledge to Go

I was always wondering if it’s possible to figure pledges in compile-time for Go, e.g., declare in your module “I will never access network” and make compiler verify that. (Wouldn’t work for assembly for sure, but probably is okay for most of the modules)

sshbon Rules of thumb for software development estimations

Great article on this topic: https://apenwarr.ca/log/20171213

sshbon ImagineAI: A code generator that turns your app spec into a Node project

I've also taken a shot at a similar thing (no GUI though!) https://github.com/sashabaranov/pike

sshbon Universal Summarizer

Here's a small API wrapper in Go: https://github.com/sashabaranov/kagi-summarizer-api

sshbon Programming breakthroughs we need

Agree with most of the points in the article. I’ve tried to attack this party by generating code and leaving all other maintenance to developer without any framework constraints: https://github.com/sashabaranov/pike

sshbon Show HN: Test your shape rotation skills

Curious about group theory take on this. It seems that symmetry helps to easily exclude multiple shapes at the beginning of each round.

sshbon The Fastest FizzBuzz Implementation

I wonder about FPGA and io_uring implementations performances

sshbon Singularity – Microsoft’s Experimental OS

Isn't eBPF basically the same idea?

sshbon The Nobel Prize in Physics 2021

Here is a nice summary: https://twitter.com/thePiggsBoson/status/1445334496857841668

sshbon How We Went All In on sqlc/pgx for Postgres and Go

> - Write custom query language (YAML or other), generate SQL schema, queries, and Go query interface (xo).

I've also tried to unify this approach with gRPC/Protobuf messages and CRUD operations: https://github.com/sashabaranov/pike/

sshbon REST vs GraphQL vs gRPC

Swift is at least supported via Objective-C, and swift-grpc looks solid https://github.com/grpc/grpc-swift

sshbon REST vs GraphQL vs gRPC

Yes, it bloats js bundle size quite a lot due to protobuf.

sshbon REST vs GraphQL vs gRPC

I've recently stumbled upon WebRPC https://github.com/webrpc/webrpc

It solves gRPC's inability to work nicely with web browsers.

sshbon jQuery 3.6.0

Well, you are still getting less server load and faster response times across the globe, right?

sshbon What ORMs Have Taught Me: Just Learn SQL (2014)

I've recently came up with following approach: make it easy to generate CRUD applications without ORM's, and then modify them any way you like without extra dependencies.

Made a tool to achieve just that: https://github.com/sashabaranov/pike/

sshbon Show HN: A site to help you validate ideas in bulk

Great idea! May I suggest adding http://metatags.io/ for prettier looks when sharing?

sshbon Supabase (YC S20) – An open source Firebase alternative

Recently released similar thing for gRPC + Go + PostgreSQL stack: https://github.com/sashabaranov/pike/

Features include:

• Generates CRUD operations for given entities

• Generates SQL migration files

• Gives developer full control after project is generated(nothing added on top of raw SQL/Go)

• Minimal dependencies(basically lib/pq and grpc)

• TLS out of the box

sshbon Ask HN: What do you regret you didn't know when programming for iOS or Android?

On iOS:

• Interface builder(especially Storyboards) is inferior to using UIKit straight from code

• Coordinator pattern, which lets you split logic and view controllers. https://www.hackingwithswift.com/articles/71/how-to-use-the-...
