zed-industries/zed, recommended by arach

you might enjoy learning more about this zed.dev in case it sparks new ideas ACP helps with agent interoperability and helps a lot of IDEs and ADEs integrate all the major harnesses seamlessly zed zed-industries/zed orca stablyai/orca I haven't looked at the cli implementation but you can get very far with integrating a harness while not invoking the model directly via API

HackerNews/API, recommended by dang

Sat, 31 Oct 2026 21:56:35 GMT

HN's Firebase-based API (hackernews/api) makes that easy, until you want to reconstruct the threads (i.e. who replied to who) and then it's annoying. For years* I've wanted to replace that API with one we operate ourselves, which will simply return a JSON version of any HN URL. I've finally started working on this! Perhaps my favorite thing about LLMs is how they make projects possible which would otherwise not have…

Sat, 31 Oct 2026 10:21:00 GMT

> where you can basically just scope VPNs to a subprocess rather than having to use some system wide network filter with split tunneling or whatever. Wireguard has huge usability issues due to that. You can run wireguard in userspace with something like wireproxy which connects to a wireguard peer and acts as a proxy for your subprocess. [1] windtf/wireproxy
