News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I've since switched to Go for most of my development, but I have a decades old fondness for PHP and seeing what people can get it to do. PHP is dead! Long live PHP!
Re:Pi 1.0 on Thursday October 01, 2026 @06:35PM (#49927870)
Congrats on the release. I'm looking forward to using Durable with some of my custom extensions and tools. The MCP specs have changed for the better, so makes sense to me with the inclusion.
Re:Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (April 2026) on Monday April 13, 2026 @12:07PM (#47754139)
Tools for llms for developers. Unix philosophy, pipes. Repository maps for a quick overview. Hybrid search for finding knowledge, tools or skills. Linter for tools. External tools provider, not MCP. Having a blast.
Oh hi.

Love the UI so far. The experience feels very inspired by Aider, which is my current choice. Thanks!

Working really well for me. Thanks for Aider!

Re:PHP Is the Best Choice for Long‑Term Business on Tuesday September 03, 2024 @05:14PM (#41439286)
I enjoy PHP. I've been using it for about 20 years. I enjoy writing in the language, most likely because I've gotten good with it. It is my preferred tool for creating things and solving problems. <3

Been using aider with Code and it's so amazing. Also swapping between Zed because it's so fast.
You didn't say that isn't PHP, so can we explore that further? I write a lot of my own little php shell scripts to do things. I use laravel zero for a framework of related tools. I wrote a cli RAG app for LLMs using it. You might look into TUIs people are coming out with like from Charm.sh, written in Go.
I want something that just publishes my markdown files in my Obsidian vault as a static site.
Re:Netlify just sent me a $104K bill for a simple static site on Tuesday February 27, 2024 @11:58AM (#39526396)
It feels even worse than that if you consider with this being widely known, competitors could make a point to attack Netlify customers knowing it may bankrupt them.
I want to use meilisearch but it takes up more disk space than I'd like unless that has already improved.

My favorite tasks are building and maintaining APIs, and refactoring/modernizing legacy code.

Maybe something like uptimerobot with a webhook.
I read the Introduction and would love to try a compromise. I'd start writing things down more and revising them for clarity. I wouldn't go all-in.

Ask HN: Taking a job you don't know how to finish yet

You've been a developer for 20 years. As a contractor, you're excited about a potential clients upcoming projects. You haven't worked in this new space before. You aren't even sure you can do it yet. Do you jump in full-time and invoice for time spent learning? Do you learn first and take the job later?

Re:Curl.io – Share files from your terminal or ssh on Saturday August 30, 2014 @10:47PM (#8248305)
Without knowing the hash, it might be nice to just:

    curl -F "@file=/path/myfile.tgz" http://curl.io/send
and get the hash returned with a url.
Re:Show HN: thedaywefightback.js on Saturday February 08, 2014 @09:03PM (#7203884)
The official site has chosen a similar plugin that has some additional options you can configure. They've also added good instructions on how to install it. https://github.com/modemlooper/thedaywefightback.wp
Re:Show HN: thedaywefightback.js on Friday February 07, 2014 @12:11AM (#7194927)
The zip contains a subdirectory. Only the subdirectory should be uploaded to your site plugin folder. If you want to upload a .zip file in the browser, only the subdirectory should be zipped first.
