Vite 8.0 Is Out

“Hi! I played a major part in getting that "installation" page rewritten to actually mention other tools like Vite :) The general TLDR is: - CRA was listed in the _old_ docs site - The new docs site coincided with the React team emphasizing "frameworks" to provide an all-in-one…”

Vite 8.0 Is Out

“They recently put out a new roadmap item to adapt the compiler to modern tools: . Given the great track record of recent Angular road map deliverables, I think they'll come up with something at least faster than what we have now. Angular already runs on Vite, and the fact that…”

custom resource id

“Currently, an option to set a custom id is provided using commandline option `--id id` Is it possible to make id set to a format something like this : `--id resource_id` where resource is the name of the resource... So when you run `json-server db.json --id resource_id`, the…”

Has the --delay option been removed?

“I'm attempting to simulate a delayed response from my server for development purposes using json-server. I used the following command to start the server, intending to introduce a 5000ms delay to responses: `json-server --delay 5000 --watch data/cities.json --port 8000` However,…”

The EARN IT act is back, and it’s more dangerous than ever

“> We had a society in which all media was controlled by a handful of corporations who dictated what people saw and thought. And we still do. Some of the corporations have changed, some are the same. What else is new? > That is not by any means a free society. And it still isn't.…”

Take a look at Traefik, even if you don't use containers

“I had much of the same issues early on in my Traefik experience. Things like using TLS-01 validation but not having DNS records set before config was applied would cause a lot of frustration. Like you, I was frustrated with the amount of logging I was getting. I eventually…”

Take a look at Traefik, even if you don't use containers

“When done right, I appreciate that Traefik's config design meets the container config/run time split pretty well. I also get that we're arguing TIMTOWDI vs YAGNI. So, I want to take a beat to say that I think your take is absolutely valid, but I'm coming at this from a place…”

Gitea: Open source, self-hosted GitHub alternative

“As far as I understand the reason for the fork was that Gogs has a single maintainer who want to keep control over the project (he created it, so he has that right). Gitea on the other hand was to be more of a community project with multiple maintainers and ways for active…”

Gitea: Open source, self-hosted GitHub alternative

“Except for the features list, how good really are stars and issue counts indicators for anything? Gogs has been around for longer and has received much more publicity, so it's bound to have more stars. Similarly, Gitea has more contributors whereas Gogs is mostly a one man job,…”

A Prettier JavaScript Formatter

“gofmt — the official formatter of the Go language — made a very wise choice for its formatting strategy. I think it's something other tools can learn from. gofmt will fix indentation, spacing, and so on, but it will generally preserve structure. For example, this:…”

Prettier 1.0

“Speaking for myself, I've been waiting for 1.0 before using it, but I've been very excited for this project since its announcement. I've personally experienced how much time can be wasted bikeshedding over stylistic issues. In most cases, just picking a consistent standard is…”

Gogs, an alternative to Gitlab

“+1 (Or can I give +1million?) to Gitlab. GitLab is now one of the core products in our business and we (Devs, Ops and PM's) love it. For Ops: * It's easy to deploy. * It's easy to manage / support. * Gitlab-CI now builds all our Docker images which is great. * Gitlab-CI runners…”

Gogs, an alternative to Gitlab

“> note that it and least some of the libraries it uses are written by devs for whom english is at best a second language, so expect difficulties communicating Considering that English is not their native language, I'd say they're doing pretty darn well so far. Speaking with at…”

GitHub CLI 1.0

“To highlight from that doc: "The GitHub CLI team is focused solely on building out the new tool, gh. We aren’t shutting down hub or doing anything to change it. It’s an open source project and will continue to exist as long as it’s maintained and keeps receiving contributions."”

Esbuild – An extremely fast JavaScript bundler

“> I think by the time we even care about the performance of a plugin being "golang" fast I certainly care about it being faster than estree-*/babel. There are a lot of static analysis and optimization things I’d like to do that are slow enough in JS to negate a lot of ESBuild’s…”

Esbuild – An extremely fast JavaScript bundler

“"Weakness: since ESBuild doesn’t expose its AST, plugins are often slow which can undermine the benefits of the tool" I think by the time we even care about the performance of a plugin being "golang" fast, we will have rome built in rust. Rome will be the full kit and caboodle…”

Improving 15 LLMs at Coding in One Afternoon. Only the Harness Changed

“Yea, LLMs have prompt-, harness- and even random seed variability, and it leaves you wonder maybe with a better prompt or system instruction a model could perform better. Too bad most benchmarks don't report that variability, because it could reveal that the model may only…”

Improving 15 LLMs at Coding in One Afternoon. Only the Harness Changed

“We build MCP servers that wrap fund APIs. The biggest performance variable we’ve found isn’t the model, it’s how much domain context the harness provides before the model has to reason. Same model, generic prompt versus one loaded with our procedural docs - wider gap than…”

Dokku: My favorite personal serverless platform

“So, how is PHP + queue library different than Dokku(or PAAS as you call it) + queue plugin? Other than the fact that you write it all in yaml/json/gui instead of code? > "I'd recommend reading more thoroughly about Dokku (or PaaS in general) since it is somewhat clear you don't…”

Dokku: My favorite personal serverless platform

“After seeing a recent HN post about Dokku, I started going into the nitty gritty of deploying it before finding out there is no multi-node support at all. So if you ever get to the point where you want to scale beyond one server, dokku can't do it which seems like most of the…”

Mozilla Glow: Awesome Firefox 4 live download day map

“I'm not sure if it's just me, but I was clicking through the arrows to scroll through screenshots on the front page of glowapp.com and found that two captions seemed to be mixed up: "Use Glow to share your feelings with friends on Twitter and Facebook. Update your status and…”

Glow: Markdown reader for the terminal with a TUI and encrypted cloud stash

“This is by no means a feature request but it could be useful if Glow provided a way to configure alternative stashing methods (i.e. "stash via Charm or stash via some shell script you give me"). There would still be a lot of pull towards Charm but users who wanna do it…”

ESLint compromised, may have stolen your credentials

“Note that NPM claims they already disabled NPM access tokens that were used during the timeframe they assigned to this incident so if you were affected, your token was already revoked. Also, ESLint's postmortem[1] suggests this was password reuse (matching a creds from a…”

ESLint compromised, may have stolen your credentials

“One of the notes on the ESLint postmortem[1] was that developers shouldn't reuse passwords and should use a password manager to facilitate making this easier. While I ack that 2FA would have prevented this incident, so would have using unique credentials. Note that using unique…”

Floci – A free, open-source local AWS emulator

“I think it's too early to even say if Floci will become something that people use so time will tell, but at AWS, they already had some "informal" support for localstack[1] and it's always been a "commercial product" (so you can imagine how controversial it must be internally to…”

Floci – A free, open-source local AWS emulator

“We wrote a detailed breakdown of Floci's specs vs LocalStack — the 408/408 SDK test pass rate, 24ms vs 3.3s startup, services LocalStack community edition doesn't cover (API Gateway v2, Cognito, RDS with IAM auth):”

Jenkins Is Getting Old

“Answered to other sibling comment, could elaborate further for you though. In order to pull other pipelines through Gitlab's API, you have to build another CI on top of an existing one. What I mean is that you're making the a pipeline to handle projects, but there's a catch -…”

Jenkins Is Getting Old

“I work at a big enterprise that uses Jenkins. We support a large group of legacy applications and the waterfall type development processes that lately have been papered over with agile-lite. I work about 80% of the time administering (Cloudbees) Jenkins. I have lived through…”

Promptfoo Is Joining OpenAI

“Hey HN - Michael here, co-founder of Promptfoo. Happy to answer questions. The one I'd ask if I were reading this: what happens to Promptfoo open source? We're going to keep maintaining it. The repo will stay public under the same license, we will continue to support multiple…”

Promptfoo Is Joining OpenAI

“You guys absolutely rock. You've built an industry standard with Promptfoo. Keeping it open source was the right choice.”

☂️ Tailwind class sorting lint rule

“Update: I'm working on this! **Follow the updates in this Twitter thread:** ### PRs - ### Description Port the [TailwindCSS Prettier plugin]( that sorts Tailwind CSS utility classes. In Biome, it is being implemented as a lint rule that formats classes in JavaScript files though…”

🐛 Memory leak in `biome.exe`

“### VS Code version 1.202.0 ### Extension version 3.1.0 ### Biome version 2.1.0 ### Operating system - [x] Windows - [ ] macOS - [ ] Linux ### Description Found performance issues on my PC, randomly checked task manager, and found `biome.exe` uses 23 GB of memory, and growing…”

Verdaccio 4

“Not that we don't enjoy donations, but this project won't go the way of Sinopia. Trent and I originally forked Sinopia and purposefully made it an organization rather than putting it into an individual's repo. We very intentionally did not want it to become like Sinopia, though…”

Verdaccio 4

“Verdaccio is an incredible tool. We ( ) use it in production for distributing node modules to customers. Before verdaccio, we used to post tarballs that customers would download and use, but that became cumbersome. We looked into the official npmjs service, but their pricing…”

I wrote Task Manager and I just remembered something

“Interesting factoid: David Bradley implemented the CTRL-ALT-DEL “three-finger salute” to aid in debugging the original IBM PC way back in 1980 so that he and the development team could soft-reset the machine without needing to endure the slow POST procedure every time. Apparenly…”

I wrote Task Manager and I just remembered something

“He seems to put in a lot of effort in that little program! Well done. > There should be nothing that TaskMgr can't kill - it will even escalate privilege and (if you have it) enable debug privilege to attach to and kill apps that way if needed. If TM can't kill it, you've got a…”
