yaml definitions compiled to sqlite sounds pretty similar to winget, which is scaling very well. vector search is a cool idea - how much storage does it use per package?

I had to scroll too far for someone to mention third-party CI. GitHub Actions free runners have always sucked, but the third-party runner ecosystem is really strong for those who can afford it. imo the APIs are far better than the rest of t

there are quite a few features like this. I actually did a comparison of chromium vs edge headers yesterday, it's a lot more than a rebrand. shame the source code is proprietary https://github.com/pl4nty/msedge&#x2

thanks for this, can't believe I've never come across it. I've been building git scraping tools for years, but didn't know it was a popular pattern

this, because msft spent years and many $$$ to build an open-source ecosystem. apple hasn't done that yet, so I'm not sure why anyone would trust them

shame they paywalled JWT authn behind their expensive PaaS offering :( forced us to use an alternative, and paywalling security features in an "open source" product didn't make us feel comfortable for a long-term investment l

this is really helpful, thanks. how much are third-party models changing these workflows (LLMs etc)? would you still spend as much time on feature engineering and evaluation? I'm wondering whether any saved time would be refocused on h

I host a usable web app like this, including a complete CLI via WebAssembly. it's surprisingly useful for teaching, kind of like CyberChef https://openssl.tplant.com.au/

it's not as expensive as it looks, if you don't count time. CNC alu and the display would be the biggest costs. other carrier board projects use 3d printing over CNC, but the display/bandwidth is kinda what makes this novel s

mainline LTS is good enough to boot and perform well, but it's still missing media and NPU features. as someone who briefly worked on mainlining, I feel the biggest problem is Turing's deceptive marketing - rk3588 and SBCs in gene

every trufflehog post I've seen on hn has been alarmist clickbait. could've been an opportunity to discuss security tradeoffs of `sub` vs `email` and how to handle `sub` changes, but nope their take is "sub doesn't fix t

its layout engine is the real magic for me, it allows complex diagrams that are just unreadable in graphviz or mermaid. a concise DSL and animation support are bonuses too

it's become much easier in the last few years. Talos + Flux + Renovate can be built in a day [0], and simplifies storage/backups/patching even for single-node clusters. There's also a great community, with services like

it's a pain, you'll need to build the images on separate jobs then merge them into a multi-arch manifest. I moved to namespace.so for remote BuildKit builds a while ago and haven't looked back. depot.dev is also good, but pre

k8s is a lot easier for homelabs than it used to be, and imo it's quicker than nix for building a declarative homelab. templates like this one can deploy a cluster in a few hours: https://github.com/onedr0p/cluster

Nvidia's SODIMM compute module interface can prove this concept already. I have two 7W ARM Turing RK1s arriving soon, each with PCIe 3x4 at 4GB/s, and the Turing Pi 2 cluster board can fit four in an ITX form factor. I'm expe
