Yannik_Sc··on Show HN: Ito – Build Terminal UIs in Lua
While I generally like Lua this code just looks .. not so Lua - like, it definitely is Lua, but it could look much better by utilizing language features like "Parenthesis-free calls":

  ui.Button "Button Text" {
    on_click = function()
      print("Hello world")
    end,
    disabled = true
  }
or

  ui.VStack {
    padding = 31, -- Named key => option
    wrap = true,
  
    ui.Button "..." {}, -- Indexed by number => children
  }
feels more Lua and slightly cleaner imo
Yannik_Sc··on Neki – Sharded Postgres
I love the offer which is running on the "PlanetScale Metal".

They claim to provide unlimited IOPS (I/O operations Per Second).

I would like to get some of these drives myself. Sounds like a technical miracle.

On the other hand claiming such miracles makes me wonder which other aspects in this are are actually a working miracle or rather a mythos/false marketing claim.

I think this one particularly interesting and it really explains to me how a caring and passionate person would do such a move.

> After COVID and with the rise of AI, the internet we once loved is gone, and with it my passion.

And I really have to say that it's very relatable.

Yannik_Sc··on Transfer files over an Ethernet patch cable
The USB/Thunderbolt one is a nice catch and good to know if you want to move you data to a new PC. Dell XPS (with soldered SSD) to Framework move just took a few minutes by dd'ing through the created network interfaces (it's different from the tbstream). The limiting factor was the Dell's SSD actually.
Yannik_Sc··on TSON – A JSON superset with immutable, hash-pinned schemas
I wonder where this should fit in? It introduces itself as

> Data with an immutable schema.

But for what? I don't see a fit for APIs here, maybe config but there are already other languages that are perfectly suited for this job.

Also this feels more like some proposal than a serious attempt to build a new format. Java is widely used but I would at least expect such a new format to at least release with Java-/TypeScript, Go and Python libraries (personal perference: Rust too). But just a Java launch is at best a PoC.

Yannik_Sc··on Beer CSS – Build material design in record time
It is a shallow trend to ignore or on-purpose worsen mobile experience and force users to mobile apps instead of using the browser version.

Though I'm not sure if this can be applied in this specific case.

Yannik_Sc··on A simple web server written in Awk
If I got this term correctly, these days it would rather be a "Serverless webserver in awk". Also sounds more catchy.
Yannik_Sc··on Shrinkflation, SanDisk Style
I'd bet it's because your new one uses an MBR partition as your tools show you clearly, that indeed both sticks are 16 GB sticks
