I use UUIDv7's in multiple places as an efficient index in Postgres. When querying this data I usually need to be able to query between a time range so wanted to have a quick way to generate a reference ID that I could use in a BETWEEN query. All the simple, fast tools I found online were focused on generating bulk ids or converting from an ID to a timestamp rather than the other way around, so I wrote one myself. For example if I wanted to find everything that happened between 2025-03-11T13:00:00.000Z and 2025-03-11T13:59:59.999Z I can type in the timestamp, select earliest (or latest) to…

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 folks! I know CSV parsers (especially in JS) aren't terribly exciting and someone writes a "better" one every week. I'm in the middle of my parental leave, and this was a project that came out of me looking for the fastest/smallest CSV parser. It all started so innocently, and then turned into a benchmark-validation-athon; the library itself took ~2 weeks to write, but the performance comparisons took another ~4 weeks (on and off). The benchmarks were a huge effort, but I think they are the most thorough to date, both in breadth and in depth, so hopefully you find them useful:…

Serialization framework with some interesting numbers: 10-20x faster on nested objects than json/protobuf. Technical approach: compile-time codegen (no reflection), compact binary protocol with meta-packing, little-endian layout optimized for modern CPUs. Unique features that other fast serializers don't have: - Cross-language without IDL files (Rust ↔ Python/Java/Go) - Trait object serialization (Box) - Automatic circular reference handling - Schema evolution without coordination Happy to discuss design trade-offs. Benchmarks:…
