I remember some proto-memes about translation of some text between English and Chinese 100 times and the results being hilarious...modern parallel would be to ask a LLM to read the…

The answer is in the name. The word 'hacker' used to more refer to someone who is a tinkerer, diy engineer, curious about how systems, components, etc work. Hacker News is still so…

For several thousand repos? Ensuring none of the 451 package versions have been installed on any branch in any repo? I don't think it's so simple.

Anyone have a good solution to scan all code in our Github org for uses of the affected packages? Many of the methods we've tried have dead ended. Inability to reliably search bran…

A personal journaling web app that records my voice, sends it to a speech-to-text API, then sends that text to ChatGPT to rewrite it in a style of my choice (bulleted list, casual,…

I would almost consider this a default package to use in a react application for server-side state. Any mildly complex UI will almost immediately need init/loading/error/data state…

For sure an influential engineering codex. Feels almost strange thinking about all the easy abstractions we have now for hosting, like Render or Vercel or that this was written in …
