  • Project mention: From a Day to 17 Minutes: How We’ve Dealt with Slow Build Times | dev.to | 2024-03-08

    The last step for each platform's build process is to upload the app to our GitHub releases repository. We automated this step from the beginning, but when we started creating builds for the new M1 chip Macs, we had to add a manual step. This involved merging files needed for the auto-updater to work with the M1 builds.

  • ChakraCore

    ChakraCore is an open source Javascript engine with a C API.

  • Project mention: This year in Servo: over 1000 pull requests and beyond | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-18

    I thought it would be a fun weird project to make Servo work with MS' abandoned JavaScript engine:

    https://github.com/chakra-core/ChakraCore

    Of course it is written in C++ and you'd probably want a pure Rust browser. But it is sad seeing that fairly complete open source JIT JavaScript engine sit and rot.

  • winforms

  • Project mention: Ask HN: Any way to write a simple desktop app anymore? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-22

    Windows Forms[0] is still alive and will never die, and very low overhead to start with, and works on new and shiny .NET 8.

    If Linux or macOS, you can use AvaloniaUI[1] instead which is sufficiently advanced but assumes some prior knowledge.

  • openllmetry

    Open-source observability for your LLM application, based on OpenTelemetry

  • Project mention: Show HN: You don't need to adopt new tools for LLM observability | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-14

    So why should it be different when the app you're building happened to be using LLMs?

    So today we're open-sourcing OpenLLMetry-JS. It's an open protocol and SDK, based on OpenTelemetry, that provides traces and metrics for LLM JS/TS applications and can be connected to any of the 15+ tools that already support OpenTelemetry. Here's the repo: https://github.com/traceloop/openllmetry-js

    A few months ago we launched the python flavor here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37843907) and we've now built a compatible one for Node.js.

    Would love to hear your thoughts and opinions!

    Citizen science! It's great when people realize they can answer their own questions with observation and data, and for activism because data is a powerful story. One friend of mine started https://publiclab.org to feed this, and another is doing data journalism to highlight holes in the government's environmental data. https://www.muckrock.com/project/
