Show HN: Gitdot – a better GitHub. Open-source, written in Rust

What works now: user signups, org creations, private/public repos, and importing GitHub repositories (both as read-only mirrors and full migrations). So basically, you can create, push and pull to a repo, but we don't have many features quite yet (issues, PRs, CI).What is a bit unique is: 1) we built it in Rust and 2) the website is a little odd. Its design is inspired by CLIs (e.g., fzf, broot, vim) instead of web apps, and as such, lacks some affordances that you might typically expect in...

Savage House review – Claire Foy and Richard E Grant sell it hard in bewigged 18th-century caper

The leads are the most watchable thing in this raucous period yarn about a grimy pair of status-obsessed noblesBlack-belt performances from Claire Foy and Richard E Grant put some vim and vigour into this haranguingly one-note and unidirectional period romp of the raucously bewigged and be-poxed 18th century. It’s written and directed by American film-maker Peter Glanz, who gives us candlelit interiors like a knockoff Barry Lyndon, and periodic deafening orchestral stabs with a touch of...

Variable zinc concentrations among commercially available Mueller-Hinton Broth brands affects SIR interpretations during broth microdilution in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing with the novel metallo-beta-lactamase inhibitor APC148

The well-known discrepancy between the in vitro and in vivo efficacy of {beta}-lactam antibiotics in metallo-{beta}-lactamase (MBL) containing Gram-negative bacteria has during recent years been found to be at least partially explained by zinc levels at infection sites being much lower than those found in conventional cation-adjusted Mueller-Hinton Broth (caMHB) media used for in vitro susceptibility testing. Previous studies have also demonstrated that a high variability exists with respect...

Anthropic’s Boris Cherny, Claude Code creator, on future of software engineering

Anthropic's Boris Cherny, Claude Code creator, doesn't think the software engineer is going anywhere. He just thinks there are going to be a lot more of them, under a different name. The creator of Claude Code, speaking to tech journalist Casey Newton on the Platformer podcast, predicted that people writing code or directing agents to do it will multiply by 100x in the years ahead.

The Art of the Joyful Tearjerker

Last fall, while leaving a critic’s screening of the film Hamnet, I was confronted just outside the door by the production company’s chirpy PR handler. she asked, as if the rivers of mascara streaming down my cheeks weren’t a clear enough signal. “Oh God,” I blurted out, before turning heel toward the bathroom.

There's no escaping it: an exploration of ANSI codes

There's no escaping it: an exploration of ANSI codes ANSI escape codes are kinda crazy, no? I mean, crazy in the sense that they are such a simple and enduring concept. Every time your terminal renders bold red text or a progress bar crawls across the screen, you’re taking advantage of a standard that is almost 50 years old.

Ask HN: What are tools you have made for yourself since the advent of AI?

I've made a number of ceramic molds for slumping fused glass into bowls. As well as wooden templates for ceramic mugs. I've devised a few carrying tools to move glass frit paintings from my studio down to my barn where the kilns sit without spilling the glass.
