    Hi ! I'm currently in the process of building myself dashboards using sampler and / or WTF. I want a section with the live ETA of some buses stop from STM. I know they have an SMS option so that may be a lead but i've figured there might be a better way using iBus or something. Thanks in advance !!

    • Project mention: Nvtop: Linux Task Monitor for Nvidia, AMD and Intel GPUs | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-12

  • lnav

    Log file navigator

    • Project mention: Ask HN: Interesting TUIs (text user interfaces), maybe forgotten ones? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-06

    The Logfile Navigator (https://lnav.org) is a log file viewer/merger/tailer for the terminal. It has some advanced UX features, like showing previews of operations and displaying context sensitive help. For example, the preview for filtering out logs by regex is to highlight the lines that will be hidden in red. This can make crafting the right regex a bit easier since the preview updates as you type. lnav also has some simple bar charting abilities, so you can visualize the results of SQL queries made against the log messages.

  • grex

    A command-line tool and Rust library with Python bindings for generating regular expressions from user-provided test cases

    • Project mention: grex 1.0.0 - Generate regular expressions from user-provided test cases | /r/Python | 2023-08-31

  • websocat

    Command-line client for WebSockets, like netcat (or curl) for ws:// with advanced socat-like functions

    • Project mention: Show HN: ScaleSocket – Turn any script into a multiplayer WebSocket server | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-20

    It's similar to running netcat in server mode, wrapping a script. It's even closer to doing that using websocat [1], whereby one does not have to do the websocket header juggling.

    The main difference is that while netcat or websocat will spawn a new process for each connecting client, ScaleSocket has a concept of rooms (channels). For a room, a process is spawned once only. All clients connecting to the same room are routed to the same process. This is not straight forward to do using the forementioned tools.

    There's a small comparison page [2] where I have mentioned some alternative tools.

  • ast-grep

    âš¡A CLI tool for code structural search, lint and rewriting. Written in Rust

    • Project mention: An infinite canvas for code exploration | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-06

    It's unclear what the superpowers would be? Video doesn't show anything I can't do with an IDE or decent code editor, and there I also have refactoring tools, metadata like indicators for usages that can be used for navigating and so on.

    Reminds me of UML-like diagrams over relational databases, except that it's generated one piece at a time. In practice I generate diagrams showing cyclomatic complexity much more often, and for code exploration outside the IDE I'd use ast-grep.
