zero-gon uv: An extremely fast Python package and project manager, written in Rust

What’s their motivation to build tools like uv and ruff? What’s their business model?

zero-gon OpenAI reaches agreement to buy Windsurf for $3B

Windsurf has plugins for Jetbrains products, for vim, for emacs, for Visual Studio (not code), XCode, and even eclipse. They try to get as much of the market as possible, while Cursor focuses on the core functionality.

Whenever I tried Windsurf Editor, or their plugin for vim, and Intellij, it didn't feel polished at all. The basic function of autocomplete felt much much snappier on Cursor, and even on GitHub Copilot for vim/intellij.

zero-gon Don't Bother with Vibe Coding

How do I short this

zero-gon A feature-rich Hacker News client

I’ve been reading hacker news only through hckrnews.com for years and never looked back

zero-gon Mise: Dev tools, env vars, task runner

Justfile[0] was a more familiar makefiles replacement for me

zero-gon Nearly all of the Google Images results for "Baby Peacock" are AI generated

What’s the idea? Why do they use bots to reply?

zero-gon I asked 100 devs they aren't shipping faster. Here's what I learned

What are they marketing?

zero-gon The first Spanish AI model earning up to €10k per month

I think this is exactly what’s going to happen with “super smart unsafe AI”. If it’ll be abused and overused like this, people will just stop tuning in to those media sources where AI can easily dominate.

AI dominates instagram space? Why bother scrolling through it? It’s not interesting anymore. AI dominates online media? Why bother getting your information online?

zero-gon Show HN: I built a Python web framework

Really cool! Why did you decide to start working on it? Because you wanted something simpler than what already exists, or just curiosity?

zero-gon Ask HN: Dev productivity tools you would pay for

Obsidian works well on all systems. It has folders, markdown notes, and cloud sync. Switched to it from Bear because of Linux and quite happy.

zero-gon What If Time Really Exists? (2008)

Can you elaborate why the string theory could be considered dogma? I guess it's somehow related to the way it ways discovered/proposed, but I don't know much about it.

zero-gon Show HN: Windows 98 in browser

Where does one start with such thing? I mean, where do I read how to emulate CPU (or at least how CPU works, so I would be able to come up with how to emulate it by myself), how does PS/2 work, how to boot an image from BIOS?

zero-gon [dead]

You forgot to mention that it's only for Windows users.

zero-gon Ask HN: How do you log application events?

Second that. I tried to use ELK stack for application logs but it felt too windows-ish. I had to use my mouse and a lot of mouse-clicking to find what I needed. I was happy at my previous job when we had a single log-server which we ssh-ed to and got access to logs from all machines via NFS. It wasn't the fastest way to examine logs but it was very comfortable using all these grep, awk, sed, cut and etc tools.

zero-gon My first experience at working from home

How do you guys communicate while working remotely?

At my current job we have daily two daily meetings (in the morning and in the evening) where everyone tells what he's done or we discuss something with a whole team. These meetings lock us to particular schedule and make traveling hard. I'd like to suggest my boss to get rid of these daily meetings but I don't know with what to replace them.

zero-gon 42 as a Service

Was waiting 42 here.

zero-gon Developing and running a Java EE Hello World application

There definitely should be some IoC container.

zero-gon Ask HN: What habit have you dropped or picked up that improved your life?

You mean with capital letters and periods?

zero-gon An unofficial alternative to the HN interface

I have started using it few months ago and I like it. Mostly because I can read hacker news as pragmatically as I have been reading google reader. I don't need to visit home of HN several times a day to find out if there is any new posts. I just open hckrnews.com and I see what have been posted since my last visit.
