Ask HN: Is Basecamp Good? (ycombinator.com)
Genuinely curious to understand from people who have used other stuff from Atlassian, Notion etc and successfully made switch to Basecamp. Or vice versa. Basecamp design and tools look very well done but somehow in the past it has not stuck much with me or various teams I have tried it with. Love DHH & Jason on X and their books tho!

Ask HN: Easiest and hardest concurrency models to use correctly? (ycombinator.com)
There's a lot of options for concurrency. In Python alone, you can use threads with shared memory, threads with queues, processes with queues, concurrent.futures, asyncio, trio, or AnyIO. Java now has a preview of structured concurrency and virtual threads in addition to regular threads. There's also the CSP model of Go, as well as the actor model and supervision trees of Erlang/OTP. Software transactional memory seems to be popular in the purely functional world but rare outside of it.

Don't compete (invertedpassion.com)
The Internet is full of people winning all the time. Someone is traveling to exotic locations, someone else is raising funds, and another person is winning awards. Essentially, everyone around you is succeeding while you do spend your days as the nature intended – sleeping, eating, smiling, chatting with friends, and spending time with your cat.

Svelte5: A Less Favorable Vue3 (github.com)
Svelte5 was released in October last year, touted as the best version of Svelte to date. The team was particularly proud of "runes," a reactive state system built on proxies. However, after experiencing Vue3's Composition API and SolidJS signals, I didn't feel particularly excited. This blog outlines specific issues encountered when using Svelte5 in real projects. If you're a Svelte5 enthusiast, you might want to stop reading now.

TeX and Typst: Layout Models (2024) (laurmaedje.github.io)
Lately, I’ve been pondering the ways in which Typst’s layout model differs from TeX’s. While Typst adopts parts of TeX’s model, in particular the paragraph layout algorithm, there are also significant differences. Most of these are related to block-level layout — things like line placement, widow & orphan prevention, tables, and floats.
