jiangplus··on Bun 1.4
I’m just very disappointed with Bun.

With LLM, Bun can ship new features effortlessly and bundle many features directly into the runtime, which could be implemented by third-party libraries.

While this is more convenient for Bun user, this development approach just steals the time-tested designs of these open-source libraries. By offering simplified bundled APIs, Bun diminishes the value of contribution on those libraries.

As a general-purpose runtime, Bun cannot continously improve on every one of these domains in depth; it can only provide the most common functionality. When changes are needed, developers also cannot easily patch or customize the interfaces bundled with the Bun runtime itself.

If Bun becomes widely adopted, its APIs could effectively become locked in. That would not be healthy for the ecosystem.

This looks awesome.
jiangplus··on Anthropic blocks third-party use of Claude Code subscriptions
This reminds me of when Anthropic cut first-party access to Claude models in Windsurf as they were about to be acquired by Google.

jiangplus··on Migrating my web analytics from Matomo to Umami
I have been using Plausible for a couple years, it works great and is opensource https://plausible.io/
jiangplus··on Web Numbers
How about Ethereum Name Service (ENS)?
jiangplus··on Claude Code SDK
I would also recommend Codebuff (https://www.codebuff.com/), a great CLI code assistant comparable to Claude Code, which can save a lot on token costs.

(I am not affiliated with this project, just a user.)

jiangplus··on RubyLLM: A delightful Ruby way to work with AI
I am writing some LLM-based app scripts, this feels like a breeze!
jiangplus··on Show HN: Markwhen: Markdown for Timelines
This reminds me of blocks.md (https://blocks.md/), a Markdown based form builder.
jiangplus··on Data Version Control
How does it compare to Oxen?

https://github.com/Oxen-AI/Oxen

jiangplus··on Show HN: Horizon – Private alternative to Imgur
It looks so awesome! Is it related to Ente?
jiangplus··on Sessionic: A cross-browser extension to save, manage, restore tabs and sessions
I am using Session Buddy, but this feels more smooth and is opensource. Great works!
jiangplus··on Candle: Torch Replacement in Rust
Anyone remember that Torch was first glued with Lua before PyTorch?
jiangplus··on OpenAI's plans according to Sam Altman removed at OpenAI's request
I think people are too nervous about everything of ChatGPT, OpenAI and Sam Altman. Does the plan matter so much?
jiangplus··on Little Languages for Music (1990) [pdf]
Your project is so awesome. Thanks for sharing.
jiangplus··on Oxen.ai: Fast Unstructured Data Version Control
How does it compare to dolt?

https://github.com/dolthub/dolt

jiangplus··on Free, P2P, disposable group video calling app for the web
Also see keet (https://keet.io/), a peer-to-peer chat and video app
jiangplus··on HelenOS: a microkernel-based, multiserver OS from scratch
What does it mean by being multiserver here?
jiangplus··on Flash Boys 2: Frontrunning, transaction reordering, consensus instability (2019)
And MEV is reordering of EVM, which totally makes sense.
jiangplus··on Clockwork raises $21M to keep server clocks in sync
Is there any public papers about this topic? For high precision clock sync for the datacenter.
jiangplus··on Show HN: Jless, a command-line JSON viewer
Really love this. The navigation is very cool.
jiangplus··on Papers We Love
I have been organizing the Papers We Love Beijing Chapter with a group of engineers. It is a good place to share wonderful ideas that are not necessary useful.
jiangplus··on Show HN: Yare.io – game where you control units with JavaScript
I have always been trying to make an Elixir version of a screeps-like game. Every unit is just an actor, sending messages to other units, based on the GenServer behavior. You can upload a new version of the unit controller with Beam hot code reload.
jiangplus··on Launch HN: Athens Research (YC W21) – Open-Source Roam Research
I don't understand why you call it `Research` as well.
jiangplus··on Faster Web App Delivery with PRPL
I think PWA pattern is bad for most website, they are not designed to run offline, just pretend to be available while actually not. ServiceWorker mess up app lifecycle and cache control. I just wish Chrome allow me to just disable all ServiceWorkers.

This PRPL is even worse, just makes the stateless HTML page stateful, keeping more active connections, and is a lot more complicated.

If you want a fast to load page, please keep it simple.

jiangplus··on New Racket Language Website
I think that the website of the io language is one of the most expressive ones.

jiangplus··on Validating Kubernetes YAML for best practice and policies
Then use HTML and extend the functionality with JSX
jiangplus··on TileDB 2.0 and the Future of Data Science
Looking at the TileDB docs, I like the idea that you can store and manipulate array efficiently. It works like a columnar storage, but organized in tiles. I am not clear how it could scale to multiple nodes and how to do queries. Maybe it should be integrated into postgres.
jiangplus··on Tesla Ventilator
It is not true. China is in post-pandemic time and they even have to sell the over manufactured products to other countries.

And many people are shipping and donating masks to their friends oversea.

Or IoS: Internet of Surveillance
jiangplus··on The Zen of Erlang (2016)
What you need should be a language/framework to better model the complex state of your system, and handle distributing processing, monitoring, fault tolerance, recovery and retries.

Consider a functional programming language with immutability and pattern matching, which should help a lot.
