The GitHub repo is at https://github.com/hoplang/hop I published it today! :)

”I think GPT-5 is the closest to AGI we’ve ever been” Sorry, but this sounds like overly sensational marketing speak and just leaves a bad taste in the mouth for me.

I like to use txtar files for snapshot testing. I let one of the file fields contain the expected output and one or more contain the input(s). Most mainstream languages already hav…

To some people the process leading to a finished project is the most interesting thing about posts like these.

I’d like to add: Programs should not add files to your home directory and should respect XDG_CONFIG_HOME and friends.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. It feels good to have some company in this, I will follow your progress! I created a repo for my solutions here: https://github.com/lyxell/aoc2024-sqli…

I’m allowing myself to convert the data to a csv and read it using ’.mode csv’. I realized when solving todays problem that SQLite’s json_each("[" || T.c1 || "]") Is useful for par…

I’m using sqlite this year. Hoping that there won’t be any computational geometry or trie problems. Kind of hoping for a graph problem solvable with recursive CTEs, that would be c…

Hey HN! I built a service that lets you download WOFF2 fonts together with the CSS needed to host the fonts on your website. I built this since I needed it for another project I'm …

The API looks really nice and intuitive! What motivated you to build this?

> It actually uses rowid even if you have a primary key. This is true with one exception, if you create an INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, SQLite will use this instead [1]. [1]: https://sqlit…

I can’t speak for how it works in other frameworks but HMR for React works flawlessly in Vite.

With Vite you do not have to hack together Hot Module Reloading yourself.

I guess you mean relying only on type inference? That will only get you so far. E.g. function parameters for freestanding functions would still be untyped. For those to be typed yo…

Custom forms with support for triggering actions is definitely on the roadmap. I'm not sure where I stand on the possibility to add a fully fledged plugin system. I've been looking…

What plugins would you want? My hope is to support most use cases for WP-plugins with built-in functionality.

I'm working on a Wordpress-replacement written in Go, distributed as a single static binary with SQLite/Postgres for db and Disk/S3/GCS for storage.

Isn't it a bit more complicated than that if you, like Sourceforge, also host Git repos over SSH?

This is a great recommendation. It is worth noting that unlike Docker, crane is root- and daemonless which makes it work great in Nix (it's called 'crane' in the Nix repository). T…
