The discussion about what to use for database keys has come up a few times on HN. Integers or UUID, or maybe ULID/UUIDv7 with a time component. One that also comes up is prefixes (as used by Stripe, most famously). The biggest downside (imo) of the Stripe approach is that you either have to store them as strings, which isn't great, or strip/prepend in your API layer. So I made a new thing called UPID. It's most similar to ULID, as it includes a time-component (but with lower precision) and also encodes to a base32 alphabet. But it also includes a 20-bit prefix (allowing four…

XID generates 20-character globally unique IDs (48-bit timestamp + 64-bit entropy + 8-bit counter + 5-bit checksum) in a single C file with zero dependencies. Features built-in timestamp extraction, collision resistance, and portable design for any platform - ideal for databases, IoT, and distributed systems. char id = xid_generate(); // => "01H5Z7K4W9A3B6C8D0F2G" Gists: https://gist.github.com/Ferki-git-creator/17450d52d143f746f0... (Feedback wanted: entropy improvements, embedded use cases, optimizations)*

I built a CLI that detects patterns AI coding tools leave behind: empty catch blocks, hardcoded secrets, as any everywhere, comments that restate the code, god functions, SQL concatenation. 24 rules across JS/TS and Python. Zero config, runs offline, regex-based so it's fast. npx @yuvrajangadsingh/vibecheck . Also ships as a GitHub Action for inline PR annotations and standalone binaries (no Node required). Why: CodeRabbit found AI-generated PRs have 1.7x more issues than human PRs. Veracode says 45% of AI code samples have security vulnerabilities. "Vibe coding" is everywhere now…

Spent a week in the break building a pre-compiler that brings type safety to runtime. Still pretty early, but generally does what it says. Looking for feedback, code that breaks it (check out the playground), ideas etc.

Hi HN, I'm Dan Draper, founder of CipherStash. We've spent 5 years building per-value searchable encryption tech. We realized that encryption like this is incredibly powerful but the engineering required is generally not worth the effort. So we built a platform and opensource SDK to take the cry out of cryptography :) CipherStash Stack is: * A searchable encryption SDK for TS and Postgres * Fast, key management with Zerokms (backed by HSM) * A transparent SQL proxy * Auth library and OIDC federation service * Skills for data security Integrations include Prisma Next, Drizzle, Auth0, Clerk…

Hi HN, I’m Guillaume, the cofounder of Bearer, an Open Source SAST solution. After launching a few weeks ago here on Hacker News with support for Ruby and JavaScript stacks, I’m happy to report we’ve just released a new version (v1.2) with TypeScript support! In terms of code coverage, we use the same rules already implemented for vanilla JavaScript, but as usual, you can build your own. The rules list is here: https://docs.bearer.com/reference/rules/ It’s a first version for TS, but we believe that thanks to the pre-existing JavaScript support it should already…

Hey HN, I built a custom IDE in the browser as part of the Open Data Capture platform. It is based on the Monaco editor, which also powers VS Code. Unfortunately, there are very few examples online showing how to use Monaco with more advanced features (e.g., TypeScript/JSX support, Prettier integration, multiple files), so I figure this could be helpful for some folks out there. I built this to allow semi-technical users to design instruments (e.g., forms and interactive tasks) for our data capture platform. It includes a custom build toolchain, based on the esbuild-wasm build, that…
