Edge.js: Run Node apps inside a WebAssembly sandbox
Today we are incredibly excited to open source Edge.js, a JavaScript runtime specifically designed to safely run Node.js workloads for AI and Edge computing. The goal is simple: run your existing Node.js applications safely and with density and startup times that are impossible to get with containers. Edge.js takes a different approach from existing JS […]
If you thought the code writing speed was your problem; you have bigger problems
It’s Tuesday morning. Your VP of Engineering is standing in front of a slide deck, vibrating with the kind of excitement usually reserved for people who just discovered cryptocurrency in 2017. They’ve just come back from a conference. Or maybe a vendor dinner. Three glasses of pinot noir and a demo, and now they have […]

Show HN: I fixed FFmpeg’s subtitle conversion (the bug from 2014)
n8.1-pgs7.0 Convert subtitles between any format. SRT to Blu-ray PGS, PGS to SRT via OCR, styled subtitles with full animation — one command, no format barriers. ”Subtitle encoding currently only possible from text to text or bitmap to bitmap” That bug is FFmpeg #3819, open since 2014. These builds fix it — ready-to-use binaries, no […]
’The Secret Agent’: Exploring a Vibrant, yet Violent Brazil (2025)
The Secret Agent, Brazil’s Oscar entry for Best International Feature Film, is a visually subversive political thriller. The film was shot on location in Brazil using bright, saturated colors by cinematographer Evgenia Alexandrova, AFC as a counterpoint to the dark, terrifying subject matter, proceeding as a slow burn. Set in 1977, during the final years […]
We give every user SQL access to a shared ClickHouse cluster
How do you let users write arbitrary SQL against a shared multi-tenant analytical database without exposing other tenants’ data or letting a rogue query take down the cluster? That’s the problem we needed to solve for Query & Dashboards. The answer is TRQL (Trigger Query Language), a SQL-style language that compiles to secure, tenant-isolated ClickHouse […]
I love my dumb watches
13 Mar, 2026 I’ve always liked wearing a watch. It seems redundant at first, since we’re perpetually glued to our phones these days, but it’s really not. A smartphone is like a Swiss Army knife. It can do a lot of things, but if I’m assembling some cheap furniture, I’m not doing it with the […]
Show HN: Antfly: Distributed, Multimodal Search and Memory and Graphs in Go
Antfly is a distributed search engine built on etcd’s raft library. It combines full-text search (BM25), vector similarity, and graph traversal over multimodal data — text, images, audio, and video. Embeddings, chunking, and graph edges are generated automatically as you write data. Built-in RAG agents tie it all together with retrieval-augmented generation. Quick Start # […]
A Fuzzer for the Toy Optimizer
It’s hard to get optimizers right. Even if you build up a painstaking test suite by hand, you will likely miss corner cases, especially corner cases at the interactions of multiple components or multiple optimization passes. I wanted to see if I could write a fuzzer to catch some of these bugs automatically. But a […]
Drawvg Filter for FFmpeg
drawvg is a FFmpeg filter, available since 8.1, to render vector graphics on top of video frames. The render is done by executing a script written in its own language, called VGS (Vector Graphics Script). The script consists of a series of commands to describe 2D graphics, which are rasterized using the Cairo library. VGS […]
