Ask HN: Best Approach for MongoDB-Like Experience in Deno? 3 by vfssantos | 1 comments on Hacker News. I've been building serverless applications with Deno and really appreciate its built-in KV store for simple data persistence. However, I'm finding myself missing MongoDB's query capabilities and document-oriented model. For those using Deno in production: 1. How are you handling document-based data storage in Deno applications, especially for edge deployments? 2. Have you found any good abstractions over Deno KV that provide MongoDB-like querying (find with complex filters, update with operators like $set/$push, etc.)? 3. What's your approach to indexing and query optimization when using Deno KV for document storage? 4. If you migrated from a Node.js/MongoDB stack to Deno, what was your strategy for the database layer? I'm considering building a thin MongoDB-compatible layer over Deno KV, but I'm wondering if there are existing solutions or if this approach ...

Ask HN: What do you use for analytics for a statically generated website? 3 by tombert | 4 comments on Hacker News. I recently deployed a Hugo blog that I'm locally hosting. I would like to know roughly how much traffic it's getting (almost nothing except friends right now, but I still would like some data). Obviously I could use Google Analytics or something, but I would rather not introduce any kind of Google tracking to my site. Honestly I think I'd be happy enough with one of those "counter" things from the 90's. Does anyone here have anything? It's been forever since I've done anything like this, I'm sure the state of the art has advanced.

Ask HN: What note taking app do you guys using as a developer? 2 by rahmansahinler1 | 2 comments on Hacker News. As a developer building my own product, I take a lot of notes—code snippets, Linux commands, and general technical info. I've tried many apps, but none feel just right. Here’s what I think a good note-taking app must have: A note section where I can add text and images Easy organization with sections A quick search to find related notes A bonus would be the ability to retrieve answers from my notes. Right now, I'm using MS OneNote, which works well for the first two. But as my notes grow, finding the right one becomes a challenge. Do you guys face the same issue? What methods or apps do you use?

Ask HN: Is Cursor deleting working code for you too or is it just me? 3 by namanyayg | 0 comments on Hacker News. Cursor seems to mess up 3 times a day for me. What kinds of hallucinations are you seeing? Any tips on fixing those?

Ask HN: Has Anyone Used Adamcad Yet? 2 by MattGrommes | 1 comments on Hacker News. I saw a compelling video from Make: about this new generative AI cad tool (https://ift.tt/jgmRNXL) from YC. It looks like it has possibilities but you have to pay to get even one model generated, which is fairly useless in my opinion. Has anyone tried it and seen if it's useful or not?

Tell HN: I am no longer worried about losing the use of my hands 4 by elliotbnvl | 0 comments on Hacker News. I have done well as a programmer. My biggest job-related concern has been sustaining an injury to my hands that prevents me from typing, which would prevent me from doing my job and end my career potentially. With Cursor, Claude Sonnet 3.7 and OpenAI's Whisper model, I am no longer worried about that. I'm aware there are solutions for people with voice to text already, but they seem very challenging to learn to work with, and I always wondered if I'd have to patience to work with one if the time ever came. I'm good now! Edit: I'm curious if anybody with hand-related disabilities has switched their workflow from one of the aforementioned tools to Whisper / Cursor?

Ask HN: How did internet discover my subdomain? 2 by govideo | 5 comments on Hacker News. I have a domain that is not live. As expected, loading the domain returns: Error 1016. However...I have a subdomain with a not obvious name, like: userfileupload.sampledomain.com This subdomain IS LIVE but has NOT been publicized/posted anywhere. It's a custom URL for authenticated users to upload media with presigned url to my Cloudflare r2 bucket. I am using CloudFlare for my DNS. How did the internet find my subdomain? Some sample user agents are: "Expanse, a Palo Alto Networks company, searches across the global IPv4 space multiple times per day to identify customers' presences on the Internet.

Ask HN: New job but feel burnout and disappointed 5 by thawawaycold | 3 comments on Hacker News. Hello everyone, I wanted to pose this question here as I know lots of people have probably experienced the same situation as I'm doing now and many others have success stories after having been stuck in a rut. I'm 30, embedded sw engineer by trade, have been working for 4-ish year in this field and some more in my spare time; I've switched industry from consulting to flight software engineering for satellites, though I don't have an aerospace background, and I've just switched companies from a small startup to a bigger-but-still-startupish company. The switch has been done for several reasons, including high employee turnover, toxic workplace, relentless workloads at times that left me severely burnout for a while (I would feel sick at my stomach just looking at code in the morning) and worst of all a complete lack of sense of accomplishment and organization within th...

Ask HN: Best Windows/Linux developer laptop in 2025 19 by edtech_dev | 10 comments on Hacker News. Requirements: * Macbook is not an option * I go through phases and switch between Windows and Linux as my primary OS. * Want to be able to mess around with some local LLMs. * I travel frequently, so portability is somewhat important. Currently own a 13 inch, but 14 inch should work too I think. Notes: * My current laptop is a 6yr old Dell XPS. It has generally served me well. * I bought an Asus Zenbook for a family member and I have been impressed with how well it has worked out. Anyone with any recent experience with Asus laptops for development? * I have had bad experiences with Lenovo twice, which makes me wary of Thinkpads, but willing to consider it if it makes the most sense. * Framework look very appealing but I have heard mixed reviews.

Apple M3 Ultra: Is Apple's Silicon Strategy a Game-Changer or Just Iteration? 2 by toxaco | 0 comments on Hacker News. Apple has just revealed the M3 Ultra, boasting 134 billion transistors, a 32-core CPU, and a more efficient GPU with hardware-accelerated ray tracing. The new chip promises up to 2x performance over the M2 Ultra and is designed for power users in creative industries, AI workloads, and high-performance computing. On paper, this looks like a massive leap, but is Apple really changing the game or just optimizing an already dominant architecture? The transition to Apple Silicon was revolutionary, but now the gains seem more evolutionary. While the power efficiency and unified memory architecture remain impressive, some may argue that Apple is locking pro users deeper into its ecosystem. Unlike x86 chips, there’s no external GPU support, and software must be optimized specifically for Apple’s architecture. The real question: Does M3 Ultra redefine the future of high-...

Tell HN: Brother printers no longer consumer friendly 9 by SimonPStevens | 2 comments on Hacker News. I dislike the tactics many of the other printer manufacturers employ such as subscription services, DRM on cartridges, etc. I've always used and recommended Brother laser printers as they seem to largely not employ these non-consumer friendly approaches. They have always let you continue printing even when one cartridge was empty. I've always brought official cartridges out of respect for their business model. But no longer. I have a newish Brother HL-L3230CDW, and it refuses to print because one colour cartridge is reporting as low. I've followed the reset instructions here [0] which has worked previously on this printer, but it doesn't any more. I don't know if it's a firmware update, or a limit to the number of resets it allows. So tonight I'm unable to print a black and white document I need for work tomorrow because my yellow toner cartridge is repor...

Ask HN: Are Forums Dead? 3 by skwee357 | 3 comments on Hacker News. I got a bit of nostalgia to the old days of phpBB forums about computers. I enjoyed the days when forum software was purely a forum software, without any real time messaging/chat, and where people would post longer content than 120 characters. Are forums dead? Do you know of any active forum on computers, software, hardware?

Tell HN: The most recent Chrome update seems to have deleted all my passwords 3 by anigbrowl | 0 comments on Hacker News. I typically run two browsers - my default for most web surfing, and Chrome for when I need to access /be logged into Google services, do financial transactions etc. Because it used to be my main browser, I have a lot of passwords there going back 10-15 years. Password storage is local only, no cloud. Occasionally I will switch to Chrome and open the password manager to look up a password a third party website I don't use very often. I went to do this yesterday and was surprised to discover that all my stored passwords had vanished without a trace. Ironically enough, the address bar still has a memory of the last time I looked up a password for a different site! All my other history is untouched. I can only assume this is tied to the most recent update which allows password sharing with mobile devices; the only extensions on this browser are Ad Block pro and a...

Does anyone use MCP servers in their dev workflow? 2 by htormey | 0 comments on Hacker News. I recently switched from VS Code to Cursor as my main editor. Been a software engineer for 15+ years, worked at big tech and early-stage startups. Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of hype around MCP (Model Context Protocol) integrations with Claude on X/LinkedIn. Some cool demos, like MCPs for browser debugging and Firecrawl MCP, have caught my eye. That said, I tend to be skeptical of hype, so before I sink time into this, is anyone actually using MCP servers as part of their dev workflow? If so, which ones, and how are they actually helping? I feel like just adding a CLI tool to Cursor’s rules file and telling it how to use it might be just as effective. But maybe I’m missing something? Would love to hear from real users, not just polished demo videos made by people building MCP servers. If you use MCP servers in Cursor (or anywhere else), let me know what you use and why?

Ask HN: Any truly multi-modal transformer architectures? 3 by prats226 | 1 comments on Hacker News. Most of the multi-modal architectures consume images as tokens in same dimension. Any architectures which look at text and images as first class citizens and also produce image tokens interleaved with text?

Ask HN: Replacement for Rackspace SMTP Hosting? 17 by entrepy123 | 8 comments on Hacker News. Just got email, Rackspace increases monthly minimum to $12 (was $10) for basic SMTP hosting. I barely use it, but I like having a solid, independent, third-party, basic SMTP host around for when it is useful. Name me a suggestion. I know 20% or $2 increase isn't much, but I don't want to pay that much for something I barely use, but I need something. This unwanted fee increase has me jumping ship, not sure where to yet. Thanks.

Ask HN: Any insightful historical books on the impact of automation? 3 by kirunso | 2 comments on Hacker News. In those troubled time of increased AI-based automation that could threat to replace countless jobs, I was curious to learn more about how similar events played out in the past. So I wonder if you know of any good book on the subject, either covering the subject in general throughout history, or focusing on a specific automation breakthrough. Specifically interested in books that analyzes in depth how such event unfolded over time, without oversimplifying the complexity and details.

Reddit became a hot mess of errors and account bans for no reason 5 by ZevsVultAveHera | 2 comments on Hacker News. Created account? Oh well, too bad we are banning you. And no, we don't feel you need to know why by default. We are not going to even inform you that we banned you before you log out. Sorry we, don't care about the fact that you spent an hour writing comments and posting long question in one of subreddits. It's all now gone. Sorry, we don't care. User experience does not matter. We are too busy making user interface overcomplicated and CPU heavy. Your electricity and time you spend waiting for things to load are free to us. We don't pay for that and we are happy that you do. What do you mean browsing reddit is not supposed to be as heavy on processing power as mining cryptos? Why are you even bothering that we made reddit horrible and unusable? Just go away!

Ask HN: A question about mentoring a junior developer 3 by Desafinado | 8 comments on Hacker News. So this is the scenario: I develop a SQL object which is being used by an application developer in an app I haven't seen before. The developer is a junior and it's clear that they have a poor understanding of the use cases they're dealing with, and likely haven't adequately tested their changes. This developer isn't on my team and isn't someone I'm directly responsible for mentoring. The application carries almost no risk if the developer breaks it, we can just revert our changes and no harm done. My question is: in this scenario what would you do, and why? Do I take the extra step and walk them through the entire testing process pre-emptively, or do I let them own their change and potentially experience the pain of breaking production? This isn't a critical question for me I'm just curious to get a few takes on it. It's really a question of lett...

Ask HN: Getting US tech out of your life? 18 by jimnotgym | 3 comments on Hacker News. Like many people I'm trying to avoid giving money to Trumps tech Bros and the US in general. I don't know if it is possible, but how are you avoiding giving money to US tech companies? I use my local book shop rather than Amazon, but I'm still paying for Audible. What are good European/Canadian/ROW alternatives? What about streaming services, cloud services, Office apps? How do I get away from Visa/ Mastercard/PayPal? Is there anything else I should be thinking of?

Ask HN: What less-popular systems programming language are you using? 4 by fuzztester | 3 comments on Hacker News. Less popular or less commonly used ones. By that, I mean, not including the usual suspects, such as C, C++, Rust and Go (I know the controversy about the last one being a systems programming language or not). I'm asking this because I used C for both application programming and systems programming, early in my career, before I moved to using other languages such as Java and Python. And of late, I've been wanting to get back to doing some systems programming, but preferably in a more modern language (than C) which is meant for that.

Ask HN: Any editor with semantic, not syntax, highlighting? 3 by teo_zero | 3 comments on Hacker News. I've recently realized that the reason I seem unable to find a satisfactory syntax highlighting strategy, is that I don't really need any help to tell keywords from variables, strings from operators and so on, but rather to catch subtle mistakes like undefined functions or mispelled variable names. These all look like valid syntactic tokens, but are semantically wrong. To recognize such cases, a tool should understand where some word is declared/defined and where it is merely used, which is a task much more complex than what can be accomplished by any regex. I wonder if any editor, or plugin for editor, but without having to invoke a real compiler, exists that can at least satisfy requirement #1 below. Bonus points if it can also satisfy requirements #2 and #3 (all examples are in C as the archetype of many similar constructs in other languages). Requirement #1 Given this s...
