Ask HN: Going from CTO to Developer? 26 by thatguyagain | 20 comments Let's say you work as a CTO at a failing startup, and you are tired of all the responsibilities, management, etc, and you just want to go back to being a productive developer and write code again. Will this be perceived as a stupid career move or will people understand? Is it a bad move? Asking for a friend. on Hacker News.

Show HN: Memories, FOSS Google Photos alternative built for high performance 30 by radialapps | 4 comments Memories is a FOSS Google Photos alternative that you can self-host (it runs as a Nextcloud plugin). Website: https://memories.gallery/ GitHub: https://github.com/pulsejet/memories Demo Server: https://demo.memories.gallery/apps/memories/ (demo runs in San Francisco on a free-tier cloud vm) Memories has been built ground-up for high performance and is extremely fast when configured correctly. In our testing environment, it can load a timeline view with 100k photos in under 500ms, including query and rendering time! Some features to highlight: * A timeline similar to Google Photos where you can skip to any time in history instantly. * AI-based tagging that runs locally on your server, identifying and tagging people and objects. * Albums and external sharing. * Metadata editing support * A world map of your photos, supported both on mobile and the web * Did I mention it's extre...

Show HN: GritQL, a Rust CLI for rewriting source code 27 by morgante | 6 comments Hi everyone! I’m excited to open source GritQL, a Rust CLI for searching and transforming source code. GritQL comes from my experiences with conducting large scale refactors and migrations. Usually, I would start exploring a codebase with grep. This is easy to start with, but most migrations end up accumulating additional requirements like ensuring the right packages are imported and excluding cases which don’t have a viable migration path. Eventually, to build a complex migration, I usually ended up having to write a full codemod program with a tool like jscodeshift. This comes with its own problems: - Most of the exploratory work has to be abandoned as you figure out how to represent your original regex search as an AST. - Reading/writing a codemod requires mentally translating from AST names back to what source code actually looks like. - Performance is often an afterthought, so iterating on a large c...

Show HN: Interactive Smartlog VSCode Extension – An Interactive Git GUI 20 by tnesbitt210 | 3 comments Interactive Smartlog is a graphical VSCode extension that presents a simplified view of the Git log, directly highlighting the branches and commits that are most relevant to your current work. And it's not just a visual tool — it's fully interactive, allowing you to add/switch/remove branches, stage/unstage files, and manage commits directly from the GUI. This tool draws inspiration from Meta's Interactive Smartlog built for the Sapling source control system, and I've adapted it to work with Git. Transitioning the functionality from Sapling to Git wasn't just about a one-to-one feature transfer; it involved changing how data is queried & presented, as well as introducing UI interactions for several Git concepts (like branches, staging/unstaging changes, etc) which are not present in the Sapling source control system. Originally a personal project to enhance my...

Show HN: Control Panel for YouTube 9 by insin | 2 comments Hi HN, I recently released a new browser extension for YouTube, which in addition to the table stakes of hiding the existence of Shorts, hiding promoted content, automatically skipping ads, hiding useless/unused UI elements, hiding unwanted channels YouTube keeps recommending to you, letting you hide algorithmic suggestions etc. etc., makes other changes I've always wanted as a user, in the same vein as one of my other extensions, Control Panel for Twitter. The most significant of those is attempting to make your Subscriptions page more like an Inbox, by hiding videos you've already watched (with a configurable watch %), videos you're never going to watch (like live streams and multi-hour stream VODs - if you follow any gaming channels which started co-streaming to YouTube after a recent Twitch policy change), videos you literally can't watch (Upcoming), and improving the handling of videos hidden using YouTube...

Launch HN: SiLogy (YC W24) – Chip design and verification in the cloud 25 by pkkim | 5 comments Hi everyone! We’re the cofounders of SiLogy ( https://silogy.io/ ). We’re building chip design and verification tools to speed up the semiconductor development cycle. Here's a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0wAegt79EA Interest in designing new chips is growing, thanks to demand from AI and the predicted decline of Moore’s Law. All these chips need to be tested in simulation. Since the number of possible states grows exponentially with chip complexity, the need for verification is exploding. Chip developers already spend 70% of their time on testing. (See this video on the “verification gap”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtaaOdGuMCc ). Tooling hasn’t kept up. The state of the art in collaborative debugging is to walk to a coworker’s desk and point to an error in a log file or waveform file. Each chip company rolls out its own tooling and infra to deal with this—this was Kay’s ...
