I was annoyed by tracking all these new sandbox prices manually, and seeing a new one pop up on X every week.So I built a page where you describe the machine, and it shows what provider can provide it for the cheapest, free tiers included.Am I missing any providers? I can add more!page: https://vm-price-board.sf.tools, source: https://github.com/sf-tools/vm-price-board
I'm using coding agents to accelerate implementation, not to replace understanding or review. The architecture, technical decisions, testing, and final responsibility are still mine, so I don't think "vibecoded" is an accurate description here.
Much less complex tiers of jit, no unicode ICU, and no startup js snapshot
around feb thats when basically deleted the existing codebase and designed a much more reliable system from the ground up.
I knew the existing code was basically pure slop, and it was not the biggest issue then, now nothing goes past me unreviewed and untested
> To the author: I absolutely love what you're doing overall. Keep going! Just be careful, folks.
Thank you!
tbh have not seen any reason behind it, just saw my ants.land get blocked a office firewall once while demoing

Ant also includes a package manager, the ants.land package registry, a platform for deploying and hosting applications, and Ant Desktop for building native desktop apps with web technologies, similar to Electron.The goal is for these pieces to work as one coherent platform while...
Hey again HN!After getting Ant to a (mostly) stable state, it came to me that I should make it a registry, so born is ants.land. Not the most special just a npm clone but I think the user experience is pretty niceTake a look and try it out maybe, the more bugs found the better.

Hey HN! I have been working on Ant for a while now, would love to share around now.What is Ant? It's my JavaScript runtime, built from scratch over many hours of work. Much effort has gone into keeping the binary size small, around 9MB at the moment (6.5 MB with -Os). On my M4 Pro, the hono coldstart bench (examples/npm/hono/bench-coldstart.js) lands around 5ms, about 2.4x faster than bun, and...
