K0IN — Sun, 05 Apr 2026 20:37:16 +0000

I love löve I did some projects in it, lua was one of my fist programming language, i think it's a great fit for game dev.

Also move or die is running on love2d, which is an awesome game.

Also I love that trick that you can just zip your files and binary Comcast them to the love2d binary and it will load it.

I think it's nice, but maybe just use 4 bit inputs to cut a bit on the repetitiveness.

Im a software dev, so not that much hardware experience

love it, some level (full adder with 8 inputs) where a bit repetative, but it is fun.

So here is the pitch: for npm / a new registry

1. Only the registry itself can build packages (only source provided) 2. Builds must be reproducable (no network or external files during build / publish) 3. New versions are hidden by default 4. Releases can only be published by an account, using a hardware 2fa token + password (no persistent login, no long lasting token) 5. All commits must be signed (maybe block web commits or add a cooldown of a few days?) 6. builtin scanners (using ai, virustotal, existing services) 7. if a security violation is found the version is instantly removed 8. Atleast 1 - 3 Days delay for releases 9. Hard no on binaries / post install scripts and binary data 10. blockchain like public record to see who published, updated, owns what

Show HN: Turn GitHub Pages into an Apt Repository

This was an accident while learning how apt works. And i just wanted to share this, maybe some day this will be useful.

The idea was to release (managed and auto-updated) packages to my server.

i was also thinking about this, what keeps you from just using a (predefined) random port (or 10)?

I can only recommend (for all Germans here) this video from "dorfuchs":

https://youtu.be/3ge-AywiFxs?si=TbcRsBNkzGhpOxQ4&t=842

(timestamped=) He shows a derivation that at best, a sorting algorithm can do is O(n log(n)) for n real positive numbers.

Can someone give me context on why leaking the system prompt of a open source tool, I run on my machine is a problem?

K0IN — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 09:04:22 +0000

Same for typescript, by default you still got `any`, best case (for humans and LLM) is a strict linter that will give you feedback on what is wrong. But then (and I saw this a couple times with non-experienced devs), you or the AI has to know it. Write a strict linter config, use it, and as someone with not that much coding knowledge, you may be unfamiliar and thus not asking.

Flotte, a ssh access management solution for hobbyist and small to medium-sized businesses.

We aim to provide a fast JIT ssh cert attestation.

With focus on: * making on/offboard users fast * efficient workflows (no need to lookup passwords for logins or sudo) * mitigate private key leaks (especially in BYOD/BYOK environments) * Help admins manage server access fast

Im always so surprised that embedding models we had for years like minlm (80mb) are so small, and I really wonder why not more on device searches use something like it.

I don't find this too concerning but libraries should document this and maybe even raise exceptions on data longer than 72 bytes, failing silently is the worst behaviour.
