Tools: Code Is All You Need If you've been following me on Twitter, you know I'm not a big fan of MCP right now. It's not that I dislike the idea; I just haven't found it to work as advertised. In my view, MCP suffers from two major flaws: It isn’t truly composable. Most composition happens through inference. It demands too much context. You must supply significant upfront input, and every tool invocation consumes even more context than simply writing and running code. A quick experiment make

Building Linux kernel on macOS natively

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-15 22:53:03

I've recently added a Linux compatibility layer to Starina operating system based on a lightweight VM approach similar to WSL2. I can cross-compile its init program with Cargo. I can prepare a container image contents using skopeo. However, I need to build the genuine Linux kernel, preferably on my daily driver: macOS. The most common way to build Linux kernel on macOS would be using Docker Desktop, and that works fine. I know nobody need to build on macOS natively, but it looked possible - th

FAQ What Kinds of Coffee Subscriptions Are There? AccordionItemContainerButton LargeChevron There are two kinds of coffee subscription providers: roasters and retailers. Roasters are cafés, and small-batch producers who buy raw beans from farmers all over the world and roast them to perfection. By buying from a roaster, you're directly supporting the people who make your favorite coffees; there's no middleman between you and your coffee.

What should a native DOM templating API look like?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-19 06:40:57

If you read my previous post, The time is right for a DOM templating API, you might be wondering what such an API would look like. Let's dive into that question now. What are we building? First, let's clarify what we're trying to design here, because when people hear the abstract template API idea described, before there's a concrete proposal or examples, they can sometimes think of very different things. In webcomponents/1069 I propose that we add a "declarative JavaScript templating API"

JavaScript Trademark Update

On June 18, the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) dismissed our fraud claim against Oracle. We disagree with this decision. That claim alleged Oracle knowingly misled the USPTO in its 2019 renewal by submitting a screenshot of the Node.js website to show use of the “JavaScript” trademark. As the creator of Node.js, I find that especially offensive. Node.js was never an Oracle product or brand. Oracle didn’t create it, didn’t run it, and wasn’t authorized to use it to prop up its trademark

The time is right for a DOM templating API

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-25 14:23:28

TL;DR: I want to propose adding a declarative templating API to the web platform. Here's why... The web platform is the most successful application runtime of all time. While the largest reason for this is the web's reach, it wouldn't be possible without the DOM API, which turns a mostly static document viewer into a highly dynamic and expressive runtime. For as much hate as the DOM sometimes receives (some of that deserved, but some really not!) the DOM is undeniably a very powerful API. This

Here's a use of artificial intelligence that could be handy. Ring is adding AI-generated text descriptions of alerts. If it works well, a glance will be all it takes to tell whether something requires your attention. Ring founder Jamie Siminoff gave some examples of the new notifications. "A person is walking up the steps with a black dog" could tell you it's just the dog walker returning. Or, "Two people are peering into a white car in the driveway" could indicate it's time to call the fuzz.
