I don't understand the latency graph. It says it has 0.25ms consumer latency.

Then in the latency tradeof section it says end to end latency is between 1-2 seconds.

Is this under heavy load or always? How does this compare to pgmq end to end latency?

Ask HN: Is GPT-5.2 smarter than you?

saberd — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 12:57:25 +0000

Three years ago I asked HN if GPT-4 was smarter https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35160752

Reading the responses now feels almost quaint. We have now reached GPT-5.2, how are you feeling?

I remember I also asked GPT-3.5 if it was afraid of being replaced by GPT-4 and its response was very human. It said that although GPT-4 was better, it was a bigger and heavier model and that there would always be a use case for a smaller and faster model like itself (GPT-3.5), and it would always be useful in some way.

Show HN: Nibble a fast and easy to use network scanner

saberd — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 11:03:07 +0000

Hi HN. I built Nibble, a local network scanner I always wanted because I kept forgetting the quickest way to find devices and services on my LAN or VPN that I needed to SSH or log into. It focuses on speed and ease of use.

It scans common ports, grabs service banners, and identifies hardware vendors in a clean terminal UI. It’s open source and MIT Licensed, and it's available on brew, npm and pip.

I’d love for you to try it out.

I gave up on publishing my CLI tool to a PPA

saberd — Mon, 19 Jan 2026 13:27:02 +0000

I built a small CLI tool and thought it'd be nice to let Ubuntu users install it via apt. Seemed straightforward enough.

Turns out Launchpad builds run in a network-isolated environment, so you can't fetch dependencies at build time. The toolchain versions available vary by Ubuntu release, and each version needs its own build configuration. The debian packaging format has a steep learning curve, and debugging failed builds means digging through walls of logs for cryptic errors.

After a few hours of fixing one build error only to hit the next, I realized I was spending more time on packaging than I spent writing the actual tool.

What surprises me is that there doesn't seem to be a modern alternative. Homebrew solved this for macOS years ago with simple tap repositories. Flathub and Snapcraft exist but target GUI apps and come with their own baggage. For a simple CLI binary, there's no equivalent of "push to repo, users run one command to install." PPAs are the closest thing Ubuntu has, and they feel stuck in 2010.

Is anyone working on making this easier, or is this just how it is?

We use pgmq with the pgmq-go client, and it has clients in many different languages, it's amazing. The queues persist on disk and visualizations of queues can easily be made with grafana or just pure sql requests. The fact that the queues lives in the same database as all the other data is also a huge benefit if the 5-15ms time penalty is not an issue.
