Graphene is a tool I've been working on with Codex to create, publish, manage stacked branches and PRs. It's become a indispensable tool to manage code for me and other co-workers …

Proper ZK proofs don’t work that way. N different proofs will not be linked to each other unless the circuits are written to emit a stable identifier. Obviously if you see a bunch …

Are the current LTS node versions (iirc 22, 24, 26) going to update the bundled npm to v12 to benefit from these security fixes? All come with npm v11 now

I've built a stacked-PR tool for myself, it's just a simple wrapper around git commands. State stored locally in .git/config - https://github.com/alexghr/graphene Lots of small das…

> So keep the technical talk to your peers, unless the client explicitly asks for it. This! Adapt the message to the target audience. The code we write is an abstraction, it takes …

This is great to hear and I hope it will mean more people give Firefox a decent try! We need more people on alternative browsers in order to keep healthy competition between render…

I was curious if the various projects that used data from the HN 'personal blogs' thread had a noticeable effect on my website. I looked through my nginx logs and saw that it's now…

Sure, here's mine: https://www.alexghr.me/ . I've been running this site since ~2015 (same CSS for at least 8 years now) but there's not a lot of content on it. I've been trying to…

Just raising this since people might not know about it, but this is a Web standard now https://www.w3.org/annotation/ . There are a couple of companies which have created browser p…

This is super cool and I'm definitely bookmarking it for later use :) I'd suggest moving the "copy css/figma/link" buttons to the right panel or at least making them more obvious (…

I think what the article tries to say is that OpenAI have already scraped Reddit for training data and with the recent API changes and subreddits going dark, new competitors in the…

My bad, my past experience/bias got the better of me here. I only got exposed to CommonJS as a part of Nodejs but it does look like CommonJS was started independently of Node.

I agree, bundling isn't going anywhere for sure, but the web isn't all single-page-apps built with perfect engineering and top-notch frameworks. Plenty of websites are just server-…

I disagree. What we gained is a native module system that works the same everywhere (Nodejs, browsers, deno, Bun) vs CommonJS which was really only built for Nodejs (with compatibi…

I've been using PurelyMail[1] (it's been on hacker news a couple of times already) for about a year now and haven't had any issues with it. It uses consumption-based pricing so for…

Well, if nothing else, at least Vercel's new integrations have put new things on my map of free things to use in side-projects (I had never heard of Upstash before now) :))

Really fun concept. I'd suggest changing the color of the "Submit" button because (at least on Firefox) to my eyes it looks like it's disabled. It took me 4 tries to get today's ga…

Maybe the author should've opened David Wadhwani LinkedIn profile instead of just linking to it. He worked for Adobe for 13 years until 2015 and rejoined in 2021. PS: not defending…

NixOS's virtualisation module can use either Docker or Podman and if Podman is enabled it has a Docker compatiblity mode (via `virtualisation.podman.dockerCompat = true`) that puts…
