i've always been impressed by NBA*: https://github.com/anvaka/ngraph.path demo: https://anvaka.github.io/ngraph.path.demo/

If you have a time zone picker in your web UI that shows accurate & current time zone abbreviations, there's a good chance it's pulling in 770KB of moment-timezone dependency. And …

so, Your Attention is All They Need?

or was it Windows hiding file extensions by default and you downloaded a .mp3.exe file?

surprised not to see http://phpsadness.com/ here

the term "Americans" always bothered me, though it's commonly used to refer to US

> "no no, it has full test coverage" i don't have enough fingers (and toes) to count how many times i've demonstrated that "100% coverage" is almost universally bullshit.

if you want to do image diffing, use https://github.com/dmtrKovalenko/odiff however, if you have SVGs already, compare those without rasterizing them first, then if that fails rast…

Levenshtein distance is often a poor way to fuzzy match or rank. i suspect that in js, even the trie approach would incur significant GC/alloc thrashing or cost of building a huge …

ack, see my reply to sibling comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47572206

no disagreement. i never claimed uWrap did anything more than it does. it was not meant for typography/text-layout but for line count estimation. it never needed to be perfect, and…

i don't have a mac to test this with currently, so hopefully it's not the price but a matter of adding a Safari-specific adjustement :) internally it still uses the Canvas measureT…

tried just doing a concat of the 100k sentences with line breaks, it wasnt much faster, ~1880ms.

it is not clear from the API/docs how i would use prepare() once on one text and then use layout() for completely different text. i think the intended purpose is that your text is …

correct, it was meant for estimating row height for virtualizing a 100k row table with a latin-ish LTR charset (no emoji handling, etc). its scope is much narrower. still, the diff…

i wrote something similar for this purpose, but much simpler and in 2kb, without AI, about a year ago. uWrap.js: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43583478 . it did not reach 11…

the good ones would usually follow up with, "how much detail do you _really_ want ;D"

i used something like this in unstructured technical interviews all the time. "you type a phrase into google search, you press enter, get some results. tell me, in technical detail…
