That is one of the reasons I like GO language. Single executable, which makes tooling easier for others to use. My alternative method is using single executable packaged with NSIS that extracts everything to a temp directory before running.

Sorry, Window Registry is a cornucopia of inconsistency and poor design. Gnome's Registry is well designed, comparatively. Key descriptions, value options with limitations and which is the default is a quality User Interface design. Just look at the Windows group policy to registry mappings, they are all over the place for the same logic layout with double negatives for keys.

I’m not sure what the best path forward is for making single-binary apps without static-compiling in of the libraries. Licensing usually makes that untenable.
Show HN: I'm Building SheetAlchemy – AI for Excel Analysis and Visualization
Hey HN,

I’m Vikram, and I’ve been working on SheetAlchemy, an AI tool designed specifically for Excel and Google Sheets users who deal with complex spreadsheets.

I love AI tools like ChatGPT, but when it comes to analyzing large Excel files, they often fall short. ChatGPT can generate formulas, but it doesn’t process full datasets or create meaningful visualizations. I wanted something better—so I started building SheetAlchemy.

What it does (so far):

Free & ready: AI-powered formula generation for Excel & Google Sheets. Just describe what you need, and it generates the right formula or script.
In progress: AI-driven data analysis & visualizations. Soon, you’ll be able to upload a spreadsheet and get instant summaries, charts, and insights.

Why this instead of ChatGPT?

Built for spreadsheets – Instead of pasting raw data into ChatGPT and getting partial answers, SheetAlchemy will let you upload full files and get structured insights.

Real visualizations – Instead of just text-based suggestions, you’ll get interactive charts and data breakdowns.

Focused experience – No generic AI responses, just straight-to-the-point spreadsheet intelligence.

Right now, the formula generator is live, but the data analysis and visualization features are still a work in progress. I’d love to know if this is something worth spending more time on.

Would this be useful for you? What’s missing? Any feedback would be amazing!

UPD Nevermind, I didn't have my eyes open. Sorry for the confusion.

Something I still fail to understand is where you can actually spend 20ms while answering a GET request in a RAM keyvalue storage (unless you implement it in Java).

I never gained much experience with existing opensource implementations, but when I was building proprietary solutions at my previous workplace, the in-memory response time was measured in tens-hundreds of microseconds. The lower bound of latency is mostly defined by syscalls so using io_uring should in theory result in even better timings, even though I never got to try it in production.

If you read from nvme AND also do the erasure-recovery across 6 nodes (lrc-12-2-2) then yes, you got into tens of milliseconds. But seeing these numbers for a single node RAM DB just doesn't make sense and I'm surprised everyone treats them as normal.

Does anyone has experience with low-latency high-throughput opensource keyvalue storages? Any specific implementation to recommend?
This looks really cool, signed up for early access. Any plans to have an import from notion feature? I’ve used notion for personal note taking and manually moving over would be a big time sync at this point. But I’d love to have a self hosted solution.
I love these breakdown writeups so much.

I'm also hoping that Intel puts out an Arc A770 class upgrade in their B-series line-up.

My workstation and my kids' playroom gaming computer both have A770's, and they've been really amazing for the price I paid, $269 and $190. My triple screen racing sim has an RX 7900 GRE ($499), and of the three the GRE has surprisingly been the least consistently stable (e.g. driver timeouts, crashes).

Granted, I came into the new Intel GPU game after they'd gone through 2 solid years of driver quality hell, but I've been really pleased with Intel's uncharacteristic focus and pace of improvement in both the hardware and especially the software. I really hope they keep it up.

GitHub Phishing Campaign making use of OAuth and render.com hosted site
A phishing campaign has been ongoing in the last 4 hours, opening more than 11.5k issues containing the wording "We have detected a login attempt on your GitHub account that appears to be from a new location or device." and links to a render.com hosted site.

Do not click any of the links!

Every once in a while this seems to reoccur, and I realize how slow GitHub is at deleting the spam issues or comments. Why doesn't GitHub fix this?
Back in the day my 28.8k modem came bundled with a book on HTML, which is how I learned to make my first personal web site.

Even back then, the book recommended testing your web site in Lynx for two reasons:

1. Web sites are supposed to gracefully degrade when viewed in browsers without support for advanced features.

2. Accessibility matters, and while most of us don't have access to or know how to operate screen readers if we can comfortably view and navigate a web site in Lynx there's a pretty decent chance that it'll be usable with a screen reader.

It's been ~30 years since then and those reasons still apply just as well. For the vast majority of web sites which do not have any need to be interactive webapps there's not really any good reason for it not to be perfectly usable in a text-only browser, and if it's both readable and navigable in a text browser it should also be with a screen reader.

In any LLM it helps to use simple tricks to give it a few extra prompts like 'No blabbling' and 'Keep your code example simple and to the point without adding anything exrta' still but there's all sorts of research on optimization for getting better results from just how you frame your interaction with it in different and more exacting and concise wording:

Personally though I've been avoiding its use in code and keeping it to where it shines. I've said this over and over. It's so good for writing drivel like copy and product descriptions and instagram posts and SEO-able text content. Stuff that people have been used to sounding kinda fake for decades if not over a century by now, that I have no heart to write myself but I can now literally just tell a robot to "increase engagement" and it shows in $$$.

Where I've found limits in what it can generate with code is with complex concurrency stuff that you really need to have knowledge about yourself to be able to prove isn't going to crash. The kind of stuff that you might pick up Elixr or Go for, specifically, I have always found it hits serious problems generating that kind of stuff. You need serious engineers who know stuff like TLA+, coq, spin etc to get that right if you're making systems that peoples lives or finances might depend on. I worry there's a lot of generated code being put out there in production which is not taking these things into consideration and people are just like 'wow it compiles, ship it'

These are quite different use cases.

Now you have to manage two devices, each not individually capable of what you want. You have to care about synchronization and backups, always being online. You can't use ordinary tools like ssh -X, you can't customize your working environment. By the way, Apple's artificial limitations on what you can and can't do with your devices are outrageous.

> Or you could just get a tablet with a cellular modem like a Surface Pro, or a laptop like a Framework.

Now, you're comparing a laptop with a phone. Seriously? Similar for the tablet, which is much larger and can't provide a good development environment, especially for Linux apps.

What they're doing is great, but relying on Android is a dead end in my opinion, since Google decides its development direction and they have no reason to support user freedom. They're restricting the OS more with each update. (It's similar to switching from Chrome to Chromium trying to avoid the Manifest v3.) Can you even run LibreOffice on it? Supporting alternative operating systems is strongly needed.
Yes but that's a big problem, the EU doesn't really have any alternative for most of them. So, if it were to tarif them a lot, it would end up hurting the EU population more than the other way around.

If you tariff most tech stuff there is no EU native replacement available.

A comment would be useful about what people disagree with so much. OP starts with "I was tasked with migrating a legacy workflow system..." rather than tasked with converting the code, so it may be useful to bring other alternatives to the table.
Thanks, I applied that fix (to the document and the example code).
That was very interesting, Russia switched from pushing "marxism-leninism" to general reactionary ideas, which seem to take better in our current age.

I'd add that they also found powerful allies in western oligarchs, who have a vested interest in the dismantling of the state for personal gains.

That same culture also hatched Portishead (just down the road from Bristol), which was pretty much the apotheosis of trip-hop. It's also the second home of reggae in the UK (after London), which has quite a bit to do with its musical vibe.

Be sure to go back and forth between Groove Salad and Groove Salad Classic, which is the more 90s-2000s version. There's not a lot of people putting out stuff with the "classic" feel anymore, which is partly why Rusty renamed it, and started a newer, modern channel.

All AI models are built on the back of massive amounts of "IP stealing". Either we consider IP to be valid and then all western companies in this space are just as bad, or we go with the direction the western companies are claiming and then China is not doing anything wrong.

Author of this article said he finished at Warsaw University of Technology - it was always considered to be one of the better ones here.

That being said, what also strikes me is how different the thesis were back in times. I did mine recently in another university of technology in some bigger city (without wanting to dox myself that much) and 90% of our engineering theses were of very subpar quality; mine included.
That said, calling the video conferencing capability "Visio" is à la banane.
The counter perspective is that this is not a book, it's an interactive simulation of that era. The model is trained on everything, this means it acts like a mirror of ourselves. I find it fascinating to explore the mind-space it captured.

I think it would be fairly hard to erase the story entirely. Presumably there would be printed copies of The NY Times floating around still and it would be archived somewhere online officially and unofficially. Links on social media that would now be broken. It would also be difficult to silence all of the NY Reporters and staff who would still be aware and remember the story. Not just the management who could conceivably be in on such a cover up, but the rank and file (Once enough people know about something the odds of keeping it quiet becomes exponentially harder).

It is of course also possible it did and does exist in some form but has been suppressed to become less discoverable. But to what end?

The questions are did the US and other countries know or suspect it was likely a lab leak. And if they intentionally chose to suppress that information, why?

The most likely reason for suppressing the information at the time, would be one of two reasons:

1. It is unhelpful to blame another country and call them out for lying when we all need to work together to solve this pandemic. China had the most experience and knowledge of COVID-19 in those first months.

2. The US, through collaborative involvement, would have also been culpable.

I think number one is most likely.

Not sure "fascinating" is the word I'd use. While there might be some people that are genuinely confused, the flat Earthers that I've seen debate people who went on the Final Experiment are nothing more than pathological liars.

When prominent flat Earthers heard about and were invited to participate in the Final Experiment, none of them were excited that the globers would finally see the Sun isn't up for 24 hours. They attacked the flat Earthers that did agree to go. All of the globers bought new equipment with their own money and sought out experiments to do and record. The flat Earthers were essentially dead weight, none of them actually planed to record a sunset.

Firstly, you raise good points , so can you please elaborate?

also , whom Do you actually put hope on Europe?

> UK actively tries censorship against apple encryption etc.

Yes there are countries like germany whose people are really nice ,and I don't mean to offend any european but maybe its my own fault , but I don't know the name of german prime minister (or is it president?) , yes I can search it , but quite frankly , though I have more knowledge about all the countries and somewhat their borders etc. in europe , I don't remember their politicians except Macron.

It truly shows my ignorance but I just follow world affairs and I don't see many references to other presidents but rather their countries.

I may be wrong , I usually am , but judging from your tone , to me it seems that you wouldn't prefer right / conservative politicans .

Macron is a liberal (I fact checked using wiki) , and you are being dissatisfied with liberal politics considering selling his country for his masters comment?

I still don't understand this comment though , forgive my ignorance and please share references.

I am not sure if I am violating with hacker news comments by being too political and I am sorry for that but I am genuinely interested what your political leanings are.

To me , as a self acclaimed centrist who just believes in georgism and certain measures , these are only some moderately radical , not completely radical like socialism steps that I wish for a govt.

To be honest , I have this feeling that all politicians are evil and you have to choose the leser evil.
I can think of running into politics but as a common man , its gonna be quite hard and you really have to engineer yourself for it which can be quite hard for normies so it attracts a lot of people who expect something out of running into politics and not for the good will of the people.

> LLMs can do it just fine.

No, they can't. They can (sometimes) bang out a frontend app or some CRUD service, but if that's all the code you write you should not be a senior engineer.

The process of writing a specification and the process of implementing it tend to have a ton of overlap in the real world. There's no way to actually define one in a vacuum, despite almost every PM I've ever met pretending otherwise.
Go Is DOOMed
I have family that work in trades and this is just not true at all.

They are literally focused on retirement, pension and next time off once past the apprentice stage.

Why? Because the work is terrible. Really demanding physical work in terrible conditions. Unimaginable really for anyone who works remote.

Then it just gets worse as you get older and your body breaks down. Then your really just holding on to get to retirement and that pension so you can finally relax and enjoy life without doing this awful job before you die.

No thanks. I am so glad I didn't go down that path. The romanticization of the trades on here is completely delusional. I think it is just the level of being disconnected from physical labor most are on here. Physical labor is not fun when your young and just gets harder and harder with age.
I know people who have done this, but in my mind this is not simply slightly less ethical, is is active fraud.
