Dates are often typed with slashes. Numbers are never typed with slashes in almost all business applications, and practically all likely uses of excel. Why should excel slow down people wanting to enter dates, a very common activity, to allow for you wanting to enter a fraction?
Show HN: Gleece – Streamlined API development framework for Go
Hello HN,

We come from the TypeScript ecosystem, and over the years, we've extensively utilized TSOA.

Recently, while working on some projects in Go, we noticed the absence of a similar framework. So, we decided to create one ourselves.

Even though Go's simple and standard library-first approach is great, there's still room for an all-in-one API framework.

Thus, inspired by the TSOA project and its flexibility, we created Gleece, an open-source Go framework that simplifies the process of building, documenting, and maintaining RESTful APIs.

Features include:

Code-First - Define and document your API endpoints in code, making them easy to maintain and understand.

Self-Documenting - Automatically generate OpenAPI 3.0/3.1 specifications from your code, ensuring your API is always well-documented and up-to-date.

Plug & Play - Easy to get started with and "plays nice" with other frameworks, routers, and tools.

Customizable - A template-centric approach allows for easy yet extensive customization.

Holistic - Built-in support for authentication, authorization, request/response validation, and error handling to help you create robust APIs.

IDE Integration - The project includes an optional Visual Studio Code extension to provide developers with quality-of-life features.

You can check out the project on GitHub: https://github.com/gopher-fleece/gleece

and the documentation at https://docs.gleece.dev/

Thanks,

SpaceX scores $5.9B lion's share of Space Force launch contracts
The 1632 series by Eric Flint changed my perspective on what it takes to keep modern civilization going. In the book (which became a series) he extensively studied the town of Mannington, West Virginia, and it became Grantville, a town which was thrown from the year 2000 back into the summer of 1631 and the middle of the 30 years war in Thuringa, Germany.

Their struggle to comprehend the new world into which they were thrust, coping with war and loss of modern supply chains, and a full blown war... make for interesting reading. There were a lot of details about infrastructure in the book and throughout the series that really made me ponder just how hard it is to keep this all afloat.

In 2019 I toured the suburbs of Montevideo, Uruguay, with a group. We noticed that in a residential district, the street signs on the corner had Netflix logos on them. We concluded that these were somehow permitted by the local authority. Meanwhile, Uruguay in general seemed to be implementing high speed internet faster than, i.e. ahead of, our wealthy neighborhoods back home.
What's the correlation between programming skill and video game design skill? It's probably not 0 but certainly well under 1. We want good video game designers making games, not just good programmers.

I get the feeling that Balatro is not a well coded game. It was coded by one person. Yet it's a great game. The world will be better with more Balatro's.
This comparison suffers from what I call “the scale fallacy”.
You can’t compare disrupting technologies like this as if the scale of their impact plays no role at all.

Pliny the Elder described sugar, but he said that it was used only for medicinal purposes, presumably because having to be imported from India through Arabia it was available only in small quantities and at high prices.

However, besides the more expensive honey, boiled concentrated grape juice was widely used as a sweetener, for most purposes where today sugar would be used.

HVAC has certifications you can get. We should strongly consider this in our industry. I don't think its an unreasonable compromise, especially now with the advent of LLMs.
Great insight I knew the most prominent work but the whole Catulli Carmina is beautiful.
There's a valid argument to be made there though. We possibly were better off when tastemakers managed to filter out the lowest common denominator.

When you think of Youtube, you might think of pretty decent stuff but you have to remember the absolute slop like Spiderman/Elsa videos, crude ripoffs and near porn gets many, many more views than the good stuff.

I'm not saying strict gatekeeping is necessary, but open systems are an absolute minefield for humanity. That's clear to me after the last 10 years or so.
Great insight and feedback from all above, thank you. My approach is to be more of a supporting actor that is heavily involved rather than someone you completely outsource to. I hope to find companies that are passionate about what they are building and have a demonstrated product-market fit, but lack the bandwidth to develop an entire sales process and department. I am envisioning becoming an onramp to sales where I start by providing low-risk representation to prove my value, grow revenue enough to justify hiring sales people, develop said people and processes, and then see if it makes sense to stay on or hand off a fully functioning sales department.

To begin, I want to keep the number of clients low and then narrow it down to the one experiencing enough growth to move to stage two and beyond. There's obviously a lot of pitfalls, but I'm a dreamer and hope to find a way to make it work!

I assert we get less Balatro’s this way(I don’t know Balatro specifically, but I imagine it’s a stand-in for indie-game by one developer), perhaps counter intuitively.

This is a question I’ve been pondering post-2000, where are all the new Kevin Smiths?

Where are all the great counter-culture indie movies?

That Market has certainly not exploded post YouTube the way you might think.
I think when it comes to music, it's really disheartening to hear people say it hasn't gotten better. There is a lot of good music coming out in so many genres, but it really requires actively seeking it out.
Roe v Wade is an example of why it is silly to say the US is big on the letter above the spirit of the law. If that were true it would never have been decided the way that it was in the first place.

There was no legislative gap, by the way. Nobody failed to legislate. There were bans, or not (it was legal in some, and for different reasons) at the state level. Everyone understood states to have the ability to set their own criminal law, with relative freedom. Then "substantive due process" (not in the text of the constitution) came along and a group of judges decided abortion bans weren't in the spirit of the law.

The practice in civil law systems, as I understand it, is that the role of precedent is limited and statutes are more detailed and updated more frequently. In common law systems, statutes tend to be less detailed and judges fill in the gaps--so which of those sounds to you like it focuses judges on the letter of the law and which on the spirit?
The whole trend of cracking FAANG/MAANG interviews has made this notion of not having self-awareness/understanding of where money comes far more entrenched. Folks who crack these interviews feel like they are passing sermons from top of 'tech' hill to other noobs, not knowing in effect that their minuscule value is as long is company is making profit. The day that stops, everyone's job is on the line and especially folks who are away from centers which make money.
Peter Thiel's CPAC (the tea party convention/the new GOP) had a banner that said: "We are domestic terrorists" another banner said: "You're Next: The Rise of the Democrat Gulag."[1]

The fact that the head of a private intelligence company is spear heading the movement that said: "we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be." [2] is frightening.

The head of the Office of Budget and Management said "“We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected,” he said. “When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work because they are increasingly viewed as the villains. We want their funding to be shut down so that the EPA can't do all of the rules against our energy industry because they have no bandwidth financially to do so."[3]

What is extra frightening is that we are already seeing an American take on a Gulag.[4] You can get picked up off the street without due process and be sent to a judicial black hole.[5]

Historians who study fascism or Russian/eastern European history are fleeing the country. [6]

I feel terror. I really do. Terror is understanding that you are no longer governed by predictable law, but by the state of nature, where power and power alone will resolve conflict and disputes. Fear becomes the chains of slavery.

I enjoy remote work but I wouldn't want to start working for a company where I had never met anyone. It seems like a great way to get scammed.

One real-life interview would surely be beneficial for both sides.
Apple's shift away from GPL has been showing for years, so this doesn't surprise me. But dropping rsync 2.6.9 this late without full 3.x support feels like a step backwards, especially for anyone relying on metadata preservation. I get the licensing angle, but the lack of feature parity in opensync might catch a lot of people off guard.
Oh nice, I didn't know that TIFF could handle that as well!
Looks like a run-of-the-mill opinion. What's the story here?
> The OpenSSH project is careful about not taking on unnecessary dependencies, but Debian was not as careful. That distribution patched sshd to link against libsystemd, which in turn linked against a variety of compression packages, including xz's liblzma. Debian's relaxing of sshd's dependency posture was a key enabler for the attack, as well as the reason its impact was limited to Debian-based systems such as Debian, Ubuntu, and Fedora, avoiding other distributions such as Arch, Gentoo, and NixOS.

Does Fedora use Debian's patch set for sshd, or a similar patch set that adds libsystemd?

Edit: It looks like Fedora wasn't affected because the backdoor triggered a valgrind test failure, so they shipped it with a flag that disabled the functionality that was backdoored. Seems like they lucked out. https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fe...

Less than a bottle/day. Not something I do but not something I wouldn't do either.
Metrics for things like FCP, better screenreader and refactor are less straightforward so having the capability to correctly evaluate the cost and benefits, making the right judgement calls and communicating it to everyone is vital.

Not mentioned in the article but this implies the importance of hiring. Having the right people to build the culture together, sitting in the room to discuss the priority of these things can turn a filibuster popping clown fiesta into productively working out actual competitive advantages for the company.
> Mimimum capital is 1 €,

If you are talking about an OÜ this is often repeated and technically wrong (the best kind of wrong). One, actually the minimum capital requirement is 0.01 Euro per shareholder, and two, Estonian courts are pretty clear that in an OÜ with less than 2500 EUR capital the shareholders are personally liable to cover the difference between share capital and 2500 EUR to trustees.
I've dug pretty deep in the genres I like...it's just all slight variations imo of the work the trendsetting artists did establishing the genre in the first place as far as I can tell.
Thank you very much. This is an extremely useful input.

> I feel like there's more music than ever, but none of it seems to be of much value and/or lasting cultural impact.

I'm sorry, but this seems exactly like what every single generation says. I'm pretty sure that I read some similar quotes aimed at the Beatles back in the 60s.
A big reason why we should support biodiversity is that once an animal is extinct, it's practically impossible to bring it back. With small effort now we can avoid great effort later. And any ecosystem is so unbelievably complex that we just aren't yet at the point where we can predict exactly how things will adapt.

I haven't read Red Mars but these are both very different from an abiotic landscape. You can easily go back to an abiotic landscape on Mars because that's the default. It doesn't take delicacy. And, an abiotic landscape is extremely simple compared to an ecosystem. We can easily predict what will happen if we go back to one.
Very high needs some other benchmark. It's very high compared to Sweden 10 years ago, compared to Louisiana, or the whole USA it's pretty damn low.
It's not just the user land but much of the BSD kernel too. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mach_(kernel)

> Throughout this time the promise of a "true" microkernel had not yet been delivered. These early Mach versions included the majority of 4.3BSD in the kernel, a system known as a POE Server, resulting in a kernel that was actually larger than the UNIX it was based on.

And https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XNU

> XNU was originally developed by NeXT for the NeXTSTEP operating system. It was a hybrid kernel derived from version 2.5 of the Mach kernel developed at Carnegie Mellon University, which incorporated the bulk of the 4.3BSD kernel modified to run atop Mach primitives,

MkLinux is similar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MkLinux

> The name refers to the Linux kernel being adapted to run as a server hosted on the Mach microkernel, version 3.0.
Why do you call curl via the binary instead of using libcurl?
You’re assuming that the person interviewing you can distinguish between those eye movements. That’s a big assumption.
This looks super promising, really like the deep PostgreSQL integration and the effort toward durable execution.

One aspect I’d be curious to hear more about (and might be worth expanding on in docs or future posts) is how hatchet holds up operationally in production. For example, what does a typical alerting setup look like for common failure modes? And since the system relies on partitioned tables and tuned schemas, how do you approach migrations or schema changes without downtime?

A lot of open-source job orchestration systems shine at the core execution model but fall short when it comes to observability and smooth day-2 operations. If Hatchet nails that too, it’s a huge win.
Why waste 2 seconds of my time making your website have a splash screen?
The issue is that as music progresses and changes so too does distribution networks. Traditional, or even nontraditional to those from the pre spotify internet days, pipelines of music discovery have been largely co-opted by industry. Outlets of organic discovery are different now - and people typically don't continually keep changing their habits enough to keep up with it.

Pair this with the fact that most people settle their musical tastes to be in line with when they are experiencing the most emotionally significant time in their early lives (high school for some, college for others, etc) and the result is an assumption that

A) What they encounter forms an overall opinion of "all" new music despite being the tip of the iceberg and

B) It's not as good as what they grew up on
From the SFMTA FAQ:

Why are applications required?

Applications are required to identify locations where there are speeding concerns.

Applications seem like a very poor and slow way to identify locations when records of actual accidents, injuries and fatalities are available from police reports. Better to build where the most lives are saved, rather than where there are the most squeaky neighbors. But it's a well designed program for the purpose of shutting people up and deferring their concerns for many years.
Crochet happens in a serial context, the one loop on the hook.

Knitting happens in parallel, with X loops cast on the needle. And sometimes (cabling) you execute those threads out of order.

I think that it's fun to HACK (half-ass crochet/knit) when there is plenty of time.
I think we're saying different things. In 1977 finding a good video game amongst the drek was difficult. It was a search problem in 1977, it's a search problem in 2025.

You jest but there is some ironic truth in your suggestion. Be careful, they are watching and might take your advice. Can not restore from backup? No problem. Department implodes and reduces burn rate even further.
So a journalist at Mother Jones is shocked, but did anyone here on HN not predict this strategy long before Trump got his 2nd term?
John, this isn't a power tool. This is a copy machine.

And while I don't have anything against copy machines per se, that's not how it's being sold to the public. The public is being told this copy machine is a really good power tool that can do lots of things. So what creatives are hearing is "your work is interchangeable with a slightly smarter copy machine, so stop paying creatives and just rip them off".
I just wanted to say that I don't think I've ever seen the adjective "commonsensical" before, but I plan to use it heavily now!
Closing your eyes is always an option, if you're trying to think deeply and without distraction. It helps a lot to explain your stream of consciousness as you think, even if it's disorganized, and you're definitely not cheating if your eyes are closed!

It was the same for me in the 2001 dotcom crash. It was incredibly hard to find work.
> Companies just need to fork the upfront $13-1500 dollars for a set of plane tickets for their hiring team and rented conference rooms for a week. It's a whole lot cheaper than spending 50k because you hired the wrong person for half a year.

There are very few companies I'd fly out for TBH.

IMO Make firing easier, pay people a massive severance if you're firing them for a mistake you made in hiring, and initially start them out as remote so you're not forcing a lifestyle change for them if you realize you made a mistake.

You both listen to so much music and have a palette that is so wide-ranging that you can somewhat objectively judge it as not having gotten better?
