  • Code Search at Google: The Story of Han-Wen and Zoekt

    The same algorithm is also used in Hound (https://github.com/hound-search/hound) though I have to say the best implementation of code search by far that I've seen is https://grep.app

    You really should check it out if you haven't already. It's incredibly useful; I used it all the time. Not open source though.

  • DockerHub replacement stratagy and options

    Agreed, I already have Hound setup to search across all the different repos I pull from (bitbucket, gh, gitlab, gitea etc) but now I need to find a docker equivalent.

    i know you're looking for first-party tools that is part of the whole package, but hound does this fantastically and is extremely easy to setup, and is ridiculously fast.

    Especially if this is long term, this is a great tool:

    It would be great if someone integrated this with tree-sitter plus something to make the search semantics a bit smarter about usages of X:

    Another trick I use for Java: javap all the Enums out of the compiled artifacts; these indicate weird things like "modes" that you can use to start asking questions relevant to the domain. Like "why are there four ways to reprice an invoice" or finding the "types" of fees or w/e in a billing system. (assuming enum classes are used)

  • Parcel CSS: A new CSS parser, compiler, and minifier
    12 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 12 Jan 2022
    Nice too that it's a compiled language, so you get the end tool in a nice static binary. As a non-Node dev, I hate the experience of hacking on some project and having to install a giant pool of NPM stuff just run some minifier or linter. Hound is an example of thisβ€” the guts of the project are golang, but it has a frontend that uses webpack, jest, etc: https://github.com/hound-search/hound

    Which is fine, I guess; definitely use the right tool for the job. And maybe Node developers hate finding my Python projects and needing to set up a virtualenv to run them in. But all the same, I approve a direction where more of this kind of tooling is available without a build-time Node dependency.
