New ask Hacker News story: Svger CLI – Zero-dependency SVG to component tool, 52% faster than SVGR

Svger CLI – Zero-dependency SVG to component tool, 52% faster than SVGR 3 by navid_rezadoost | 0 comments on Hacker News. I've been working on an open-source CLI tool called SVGER that converts SVGs into ready-to-use components for React, Vue 3, Angular, Svelte, Solid, and several other frameworks – all with full TypeScript support and tree-shakable exports. What sets it apart: Zero runtime dependencies – installs instantly, no bundle bloat, high security profile Built-in optimizer that often produces smaller SVGs than SVGO (custom tree-based cleanup, path simplification, transform collapsing, shape conversion) In real-world benchmarks on 600+ icons: ~30s total, ~50ms per file, 20 files/sec throughput – 52% faster than SVGR and 33% faster than SVGO while doing both optimization and component generation Plugin system (already shipped with gradient optimizer, stroke normalizer, etc.) Automated visual regression testing in CI to guarantee pixel-perfect output Parallel processing an...

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: How do you use 5–10 minute gaps productively?

Ask HN: How do you use 5–10 minute gaps productively? 6 by pea | 11 comments on Hacker News. I often have 5-10m gaps. It’s too easy to waste this time. What things do you like to do in these increments? For instance, learning a new skill, getting slightly better at something, reading high quality content. Edited to clarify that I don’t mean phone-specific activities!

New ask Hacker News story: LinkedIn Prevents You from Deplatforming

LinkedIn Prevents You from Deplatforming 3 by jeffkumar | 0 comments on Hacker News. So I realized, I have a good set of contacts on LinkedIn that I want to be able to segment and reach out to this year. When I tried to download all my data, I realized that 95% of all the contacts did not have emails. So I then decided to go through each profile sequentially and look at the contact info and get the email and fill out my spreadsheet. After I spend an hour and got about 200 contacts, I got a warning that I was using an automation tool and that I needed to click to comply to not use an automation tool anymore. However, I never used an automation tool in the first place for this. I manually was extracting the emails available to me through my own contact list Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a solution?

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Why not ban first-person pronouns from conversational AI?

Ask HN: Why not ban first-person pronouns from conversational AI? 3 by libertyit | 1 comments on Hacker News. Conversational AI presents (non-IT) people with the powerful illusion that it is conscious. (I personally have a friend who argues vehemently that ChatGPT is conscious - admittedly, he has a diagnosed mental illness, but still.) People become emotionally attached, over-trust it and rely on it for guidance. I understand teenagers are particularly prone to this. Real social interactions suffer. That illusion is powerfully strengthened by the use of first-person pronouns. But "I", "we", "us" etc in LLM output have no referential object. There is no "I" in a LLM. I want a mandatory ban on the use of first-person pronouns by LLMs. There's no impairment in meaning if it says "Would you like a list?" instead of "Would you like me to give you a list?" Personally, I provide a system prompt with this instruction. Works we...

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Who is using Nebula (mesh VPN)?

Ask HN: Who is using Nebula (mesh VPN)? 2 by cdsl | 0 comments on Hacker News. I've been doing some research these days about the state of the art for mesh VPN's / network overlays. I'm looking for secure options for a small company and even to update my home server. Nebula, from the Slack team, looks like a really solid solution. All nodes having their own certificate, it doesn't even require to trust the coordination server. I love it! But I'm surprised I can't find any big company claiming to use it (other than Slack themselves). I can only find 'Home-labbers' and smaller businesses, but no big guys looking into it. At least not publicly. Has anyone seen it deployed in a bigger corporation?
