Show HN: Rendering Chinese text on a Commodore 64
https://github.com/lionello/han64
POC to print simplified Chinese hanzi on a Commodore 64 using native text mode. Eventually I want to turn this into a full-fledged reader/editor with Pinyin IME.
Re:Show HN: Compose-to-Cloud Pulumi Providers for AWS, GCP, and Azure

There's a PR in that repo to add a crewai sample: frontend, worker, postgres, redis, and chat, embedding models.
Show HN: Compose-to-Cloud Pulumi Providers for AWS, GCP, and Azure
https://github.com/DefangLabs/pulumi-defang
Hi HN,These are three FOSS Pulumi providers (defang-aws, defang-gcp, defang-azure) that take a Docker Compose-like project and provision it as real infrastructure to the respective cloud: VPC, subnets, load balancers, serverless containers (ECS Fargate, Cloud Run, Container App), builds, managed PostgreSQL, Redis, LLMs, and public/private DNS.Develop once, deploy anywhere: all three providers...

K8s is so great, they wrote "kompose" to help deploy Compose files, transpiling the Compose YAML into k8s configs. You'd still be running your own DB cluster as a bunch of containers though.

It’s the other way around though. I believe what I wrote there and am writing the tool I wish I had. Surely can’t blame me for trying to make a living at the same time.

Curious if others have considered using Compose (or similar) as the source for declaring their cloud infrastructure. I’ve seen efforts to use LLMs to turn Compose into Terraform, but I’m not convinced code generation is a good substitute. I’d love to hear where this approach breaks down for others.

Ask HN: What cloud development tool would you like to see?
Hi HN,I'm a cloud developer, but often frustrated by the lack of modern tooling. It feels like every company/hacker is creating their own tools or platforms to solve common problems.What cloud development tool do you feel is missing?Disclaimer: I'm cofounder of defang.io

1. Generate is really just to get you started so it’s pretty primitive. Generating code for complex projects is a startup in itself. Currently the generator supports nodejs, Python, and Go.
2. You can add database or redis to your compose file. During deployment, defang has the option to map those to the respective managed versions, if the target cloud provider had that option.

Yeah compose is awesome. Makes sense to use it for local development and deployments.

I edited the post instead to share the code right at the start. Hope that's better.

Hm, yeah I see. Since it can be tried, I thought it'd be a good fit.
I'll remove the Show HN.

Author here. Happy to answer any questions.

Hi HN!My name is Lio. I'm the author of the article and CTO of Defang: a CLI tool to deploy Docker Compose projects to the cloud(s).This story on how I deployed a website just to transfer a file got many chuckles in my friend circle and it was suggested I blog about it, so here it is.Yes, it's ridiculous, but it got the job done, and hopefully you'll enjoy the story, and perhaps the tool, too.AMA

“We’re getting older and older, which means there are fewer people able to work to support more people who can’t.”
Well, if we’re getting older and older, isn’t that because we’re getting healthier and healthier? Wouldn’t the number of years we’re “able to work to support more people” increase as well?
