    A few months ago, I benchmarked FastAPI on an i9 MacBook Pro. I couldn't believe my eyes. A primary REST endpoint to `sum` two integers took 6 milliseconds to evaluate. It is okay if you are targeting a server in another city, but it should be less when your client and server apps are running on the same machine. FastAPI would have bottleneck-ed the inference of our lightweight UForm neural networks recently trending on HN under the title "Beating OpenAI CLIP with 100x less data and compute". (Thank you all for the kind words!) So I wrote another library. It has been a while since I have…

    Hi HN! For the past few weeks, I've been working on bringing io_uring to Java. It started as an experiment, but slowly it became more than just that, and now trying to turn it into a proper library. After hearing talks about virtual threads and io_urings performance I wanted to build something that was faster than Java provides out of the box. I ended up creating two APIs: - A direct one that closely mirrors io_uring's behavior - A blocking one built with Virtual Threads in mind for remote files. This is the link to the project if you are interested…

    Hey HN, I find myself reaching for tools like it-tools.tech or other random sites every now and then during development or debugging. So, I built a toolkit with a sane and simple CLI interface for most of those tools. For the curious and lazy, at the moment, ut has tools for, - Encoding: base64 (encode, decode), url (encode, decode) - Hashing: md5, sha1, sha224, sha256, sha384, sha512 - Data Generation: uuid (v1, v3, v4, v5), token, lorem, random - Text Processing: case (lower, upper, camel, title, constant, header, sentence, snake), pretty-print, diff - Development Tools: calc, json…

    Hey all, I've been working on this side project to get a Cypress.io-like experience, but for Ruby developers. It's plug-n-play with Capybara system tests, with the following features: - visualize assertions/commands as they happen - view all API requests, errors, and logs in the timeline - pause/continue on any step - rewind through history with a recorded video This is brand new, so looking for people to start trying it out and leave feedback.

    RubyLLM provides a unified interface to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and DeepSeek models with a clean, elegant API that feels like Ruby. What makes it different? Beautiful interfaces: chat = RubyLLM.chat embedding = RubyLLM.embed("Ruby is elegant") image = RubyLLM.paint("a sunset over mountains") Works with multiple providers through one API: # Start with GPT chat = RubyLLM.chat(model: 'gpt-4o-mini') # Switch to Claude? No problem chat.with_model('claude-3-5-sonnet') Streaming that makes sense: chat.ask "Write a story" do |chunk| print chunk.content # Same chunk format for all providers end…
