Show HN: I made a custom news aggregator that updates automatically Hello HN I visit a few sites news sites daily and wanted to see the headlines all on one page and also have it update itself throughout the day. It is not finished yet, but is usable enough to share. If you want to make a custom page, you can click the 'build your custom page' at the top, and select the feeds that are of interest to you. I haven't implemented it yet, but the feeds can be re-ordered as well, you just need to enter their names in the address bar, for example to show Tech Meme, BBC News and Tech Crunch you would write: nuntium.co.uk/f/?tm,bbc,tc Then bookmark that link to visit it later. It is very minimal and no login or account is required. It is very gentle on the sites it polls - it only polls them once every five minutes at the moment. I'd love to get some feedback on what other people think and if there are any feeds you would like to see on there please let me know and I will add them on :) https://nuntium.co.uk/ August 31, 2022 at 02:06AM
Show HN: Node Version Audit – Audit Your Node Version for Known CVEs and Patches https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32657014
Show HN: Node Version Audit – Audit Your Node Version for Known CVEs and Patches I wrote Node Version Audit to automatically keep track of Node patches, particularly for releases that fix CVEs. While it can be ran directly, it is designed to run as part of a pipeline to produce warnings if the runtime version of Node has CVEs, or is no longer supported. The cool part (IMO), is that Node Version Audit automatically keeps track of node releases and CVEs by parsing the change log, and so there is no curation needed to maintain it. I would love any thoughts! https://www.github.developerdan.com/node-version-audit/ August 30, 2022 at 05:45PM

Show HN: An Audio Introduction to Nick Bostrom I'm working on this because I think Bostrom's work is extremely important, and deserves a wider audience. I first read Bostrom's work in 2010, during my undergraduate degree. It has been a major influence on many of the projects I've worked on since then. In particular, the many years I've spent working at 80,000 Hours. (80,000 Hours is a career advising service which—among other things—helps people act on Bostrom's ideas about the urgency of addressing existential risks posed by emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence and biotechnology.) https://radiobostrom.com/introduction August 29, 2022 at 01:52AM

Show HN: A Minimal PHP Wiki https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32612861
Show HN: A Minimal PHP Wiki First, I'm by no mean a programmer. Second, I am reading HN for years, just registered to make this public and see if it can be useful for someone. I have nothing to gain monetary. A while ago, I decided that no blogging system was simple enough and I looked for a small wiki to use as a CMS/blog. Found WikWiki on C2.com and I mixed it with some basic Markdown syntax, a minimal template and added password protection. The result is a single php file, no database and no dependencies. Code is a mess, not modulable, probably wrong in so many ways, but it can probably used by some as personal notepad, wiki, CMS, blog, etc. Any comments appreciated. https://mindwi.se/?WikiMind August 26, 2022 at 02:16PM

Show HN: Commandline tool for protecting data using TouchID+Secure Enclave Toucli is a tool I made to solve a specific problem on my personal MacBook, where I had to pass in sensitive data like API keys to 3rd party applications on the commandline, but wanted to encrypt those keys on disk and require the physical presence of TouchID to decrypt/access them. As I state in the readme, for production and office environments a proper external system would be better, but for my single personal machine Toucli solved my problems without needing any external running service. It was also an excuse to use Swift and Xcode for the first time, which I had wanted to do for some time. https://github.com/pathtofile/toucli August 24, 2022 at 11:47PM

Show HN: A new way to use GPT-3 to generate code (and everything else) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32532875
Show HN: A new way to use GPT-3 to generate code (and everything else) Hi HN, One of the things that frustrates me about Copilot is that all tasks posed to it must be in the form of a completion. By writing clever comments you can get it to generate a few lines of code or a short function body, but you never get coherent long-form generations just from mashing the tab key. I’m working on a different approach. Instead of requiring you specify your code generation task through stilted comments, you can use GPT-3 to fill in what I call “instructional templates”. They’re like f-strings, except the English goes on the inside and the Python goes on the outside. Unlike f-strings, though, each instruction’s location and surrounding context can aid in interpreting it. I’ve collected 10 examples of the method on a Twitter thread here. Most code examples are in Python, but I also demonstrate generating CSV, NDJSON, R, Markdown, and HTML: https://twitter.com/goodside/status/1559801520773898240?s=21&t=-r-dR8pkhZ3lfCpeLOWqvw I also have a few further examples of more creative, non-program output in HTML and Markdown in this thread: https://twitter.com/goodside/status/1560953991722418177?s=21&t=-r-dR8pkhZ3lfCpeLOWqvw Interested in any feedback, especially from anyone who’s tried to apply my method to their own problems.

Show HN: Loop, run a command in loop and nothing else This is a small utility to loop a command, in a shell. This is deceptively simple, you can loop a command forever, or loop until it is succeeded or failed. Currently, it really does nothing else than a bash `for` and `sleep`, but I intend to add the possibility of running a command in loop, in parallel. In conjonction with some tests/stress tools (like https://hurl.dev who I am one of the maintainer), I think this can be useful to other... $ loop --iter 4 --delay 1000 date Tue Aug 9 06:59:58 CEST 2022 Tue Aug 9 06:59:59 CEST 2022 Tue Aug 9 07:00:00 CEST 2022 Tue Aug 9 07:00:01 CEST 2022 https://github.com/jcamiel/loop-bin August 8, 2022 at 10:26PM

Show HN: Build for any cloud with the same code https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32384662
Show HN: Build for any cloud with the same code We have been working on Multy, an open-source[1] tool that enables developers to deploy and switch to any cloud - AWS, Azure and GCP for now. We realized that, even when using Terraform, writing infrastructure code is very different for each cloud provider. This means changing clouds or deploying the same infrastructure in multiple clouds requires rewriting the same thing multiple times. And even though most core resources have the same functionality, developers need to learn a new provider and all its nuances when choosing a new cloud. This is why we built Multy. Multy is currently available as a Terraform provider. You can write cloud-agnostic code and then just choose which cloud you want to deploy to. Multy will then call the cloud provider APIs on your behalf. For example, the following Terraform code deploys a virtual network in AWS and can be easily changed to deploy to Azure or GCP: ``` resource "multy_virtual_network" "vn" { cloud = "aws" // or azure, or gcp name = "multy_vn" cidr_block = "10.0.0.0/16" location = "eu_west_1" } ``` Our goal is to expose any configuration that is common across all clouds, but there’s always specific features that are not available in all of them. For example, if you want a very specific AWS CPU for your Virtual Machine or use a region that is only available in GCP. To enable this, we implemented overrides [2] - a way to configure the underlying infrastructure for cloud-specific purposes. You can also mix other Terraform code that uses the cloud-specific providers with Multy. While this makes you somewhat locked in, having your 80% or 90% of your infrastructure cloud-agnostic is still very powerful. You can see more complex examples in our documentation - https://docs.multy.dev/examples/ . We’re still in early days and looking for feedback from other developers on our approach. Let us know what you think! [1] https://github.com/multycloud/multy [2] https://docs.multy.dev/overrides https://github.com/multycloud/multy August 8, 2022 at 05:27AM
