I got this one from Acer's Ebay for $220: https://www.ebay.com/itm/266390922629 It's out of stock now unfortunately, but it does seem to pop up again from time to time according to Slickdeals: https:/&#

This article is coming out at an interesting time for me. We probably have different definitions for "budget", but I just ordered a super janky eGPU setup for my very dated 8th gen Intel NUC, with a m2->pcie adapter, a PSU, and

I had a somewhat similar experience trying to use LLMs to do OCR. All the models I've tried (Sonnet 3.5, GPT 4o, Llama 3.2, Qwen2 VL) have been pretty good at extracting text, but they failed miserably at finding bounding boxes, usuall

Congrats on the launch! :) Apparently I signed up for Instant previously but completely forgot about it. Only realized I had an account when I went to the dashboard to find myself still logged in. I dug up the sign up email and apparently I

This is the only real problem I have with how they handled the situation. But it's a big problem. Whether or not these folks on free plans are ever going to convert to paid, they trusted PlanetScale to serve as a critical building bloc

Have been looking forward to this release for quite a while! Huge props to the Cloudflare team for putting this out there! I've been operating a cluster of NGINX nodes on Fly.io and using njs (NGINX's custom JS scripting engine) f

It's been a while, but last time I checked, write latency on R2 was pretty horrendous. Close to 1s compared to S3's <100ms, tested from my laptop in SF. Wouldn't be surprised if they made progress on this front, but defini

Vertical tabs in Edge seems to trigger false positives on this. Really hope that's not the only heuristic they're using.

Great list! Related to your point on supporting 0-transpilation workflows as a first class citizen, is the fact that Flow was explicitly just type annotations & checking, and aimed to introduce 0 runtime constructs. This is something Fl

In case you're open to something for JS instead of Python, my life has been much better since I switched from AHK to nutjs for my own automation scripts: https://nutjs.dev/ A real programming language, and support for

Wow, and here I thought I was the only one to make this move from Firefox to Edge, precisely because of the excellent native vertical tabs functionality. It's not perfect, but the level of UX polish and the first-class integration with

Hi HN, author here. Happy to answer any questions about the post or Reflame. :) Reflame's Show HN from a while back has a lot more technical details about how Reflame works under the hood if you're interested: https://n

Thank you for taking the time to respond! All very fair points. The post was definitely written as a content marketing piece for Reflame, but I did also write it with the genuine intent to give an apples-to-apples comparison between the cur

Hi HN, author here. I set out to do a casual comparison of deploy speeds between Reflame (disclaimer, I built Reflame) and other popular services on a near-stock Vite React app, not expecting a whole lot of differences between the others (s

Developers know much more than other professions about how much SaaS products cost to run in terms of infra (i.e. very little for most products), so are much more likely to anchor on infra costs when considering whether a price is reasonabl

Competition for developer tooling products is _fierce_, possibly more so than any other industry, precisely because we really seem to love spending our free time building slightly different versions of the tools we use that suit our prefere

We get so many developer tooling products thrown at us, either for free or dirt cheap, that over the decades it's conditioned us to assign much less monetary value to developer tooling products compared to what a simple opportunity cos

Seeing a lot of comments trying to dispute the claim that "individual developers do not pay for tools". The claim does invite these kinds of disputes since it's so absolutist, but I do believe there is some truth to it, at le

Agreed, this is awesome! I've been using Cloudflare Tunnel for local dev, but the fact that it seems to be coupled to their CDN product with no way to permanently turn off the CDN functionality has caused quite a few headaches lately (

Agree completely. It also makes interop between Node and Deno more painful. But there is hope on the horizon. :) See https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/37582 which is referenced in the 4.9 Iterati

So if a user has the VSCode extension installed, we'd actually install them even earlier than a commit hook could, since we'd install packages as soon as they save the config file. :)
