Hey all, can you sanity check me? Am I a bad developer (always a possibility), or do I focus too much on unimportant things? I've got 13+ YoE and been working in big tech for about 4 years, joined an established start…

Hey all, didn't want to pay for Strong or Hevy so I started building my own lifts journal app. It's free and always will be. https://stronk.app Source Code (open to contributions). If you find bugs, add it to the…

I want to share my projects and encourage contributions - however I'd prefer it if that code wasn't used for training AI models or repackaged and charged for. It's not "open source" in the conventional sense, but…

Hi all, I have 10 years professional experience and have been coding since age 11. Starting on full stack web applications and branching into niche areas like hardware programming and writing build tools. Looking at the…

I wrote a wrapper around Nodejs's libnode library that allows for embedding Nodejs within a Rust application. My use case is running JavaScript plugins but I'm sure others out there have more creative use cases. The…

The http-server package on npm is extremely helpful but due to the inability to add custom headers, spa support and the desire to have a single statically linked binary independent of the installed Nodejs version, I…

I'm guessing Europe will begin investing in defense capabilities. Any thoughts on if software roles will materialize and how one would even go about applying for them? Would be cool to write Rust firmware for drone…

Hi all, I have a bunch of blog posts I want to share for free and am looking for a good platform to post on. Please share your recommendations I'm looking for: - Free to post, free to read - Minimal analytics (don't…

Looking for a native desktop chat client that consolidates other chat applications into a single, efficient, native desktop client. It's okay if it's _only_ an alternative client for Slack (as that's the one I use the…

I have recently swapped my work MBP M1 Pro for a Dell Precision 5570 running Linux and all of my programming workflows are faster. When plugged into a dock and used as a desktop workstation, it's as good as any Linux…

Aside from excel/Google Sheets, Does anyone know of a web app (preferably) that lets you manually input blood test results? The hope is a service that creates graphs of historic records, provides reference values…

I'm a humble web developer being grilled by a seasoned Java developer - after describing my understanding of bundlers like Parcel and Webpack - they asserted that they are the same thing is Gradle or Bazel and they are…

Making modern desktop applications on Windows with native Windows styling has been so confusing to me. I am familiar with WinForms but that's no longer how you make UIs that are dressed in the new new UI style of…

In an effort to avoid food poisoning from the more persistent pathogens (like salmonella, e.coli, and other such stomach-acid-surviving bugs), why aren't short bursts of radiation used to sterilize raw foods? We go to…

Hey HN, question. I have been wearing wearable health trackers (think fitbit) for a little while and have been thinking about what I would like to see in the next one - but that never comes out (actually wanting less).…

Right now, containerization is powered by kernel features. This requires virtualization on non Linux machines and is a bit cumbersome as a result. I have been hearing stories of the concept of "high level…

I am talking about full fat bootcamp Windows on ARM with full GPU acceleration. This is to allow for better access to games. That is, assuming the x86/x86_64 => arm_64 implementations are as efficient as Rosetta2.

As a Linux DE where the project expresses its intention to replicate MacOS verbatim (cleanly) - excluding Apple branding, imagery, fonts, etc. Would they win the lawsuit? Given it would be open source, would they sue…

I'm talking about a project making minimal design decisions and trying to faithfully recreate the MacOS desktop such that it would be difficult to tell it apart from the Apple one.
