Show HN: SuperUtilsPlus – A Modern Alternative to Lodash

Hey HN!

After years of wrestling with Lodash's quirks and bundle size issues, I decided to build something better. SuperUtilsPlus is my attempt at creating the utility library I wish existed.

TypeScript-first approach: Unlike Lodash's retrofitted types, I built this from the ground up with TypeScript. The type inference actually works the way you'd expect it to.

Sensible defaults: Some of Lodash's decisions always bugged me. Like isObject([]) returning true -

This smart new internet speed test blows Ookla out of the water

These days, our tech experiences are all about speed—and our expectations for instant action are actually kinda insane.

Think about it: Not so long ago, phones, computers, and especially the internet were all painfully slow (at least, by today’s sonic-speed standards). Things have come a long way in a short time. And for most of us now, if something doesn’t load within a fraction of second, we grow impatient and maybe give up entirely—like when a webpage has the a

 The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge could be the end of the Galaxy S25 Plus – and to be honest I’m fine with that

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge could signal the end of not only the Samsung Galaxy S Plus, but also enlarged baseline flagship phones in general – and while I love the Galaxy S25 Plus, I think this is the natural course of things.

Ask HN: Go deep into AI/LLMs or just use them as tools?

I'm a software engineer with a solid full-stack background and web development. With all the noise around LLMs and AI, I’m undecided between two paths:

1. Invest time in learning the internals of AI/LLMs, maybe even switching fields and working on them

2. Continue focusing on what I’m good at, like building polished web apps and treat AI as just another tool in my toolbox

I’m mostly trying to cut through the hype. Is this another bubble that might burst or consolidate into fewer jobs l

Protivná evoluční zátěž: Zuby nejsou tím, čím se zdají být

Až vás zase někdy budou bolet zuby, můžete se utěšovat tím, že v ústech vlastně nemáme mechanické drtiče potravy. Díky mimořádnému evolučnímu podrazu zuby nejspíš jsou bývalé smyslové orgány dávných rybovitých potvor, z nichž jsme se vyvinuli. Jejich pravěká smyslová funkce se redukovala na jedinou věc – přehnaně zesilují nepříjemné vjemy v ústné dutině. Zuby bolí omylem.

Show HN: Web Apps for Python Devs with Auto-Generated UI

Hi HN,

We’re Afnan, Theo and Ruben. We’re all ML engineers or data scientists, and we kept running into the same thing: we’d write useful Python functions, either for ourselves or internal tools, and then hit a wall when we wanted to share them as actual apps.

We tried Streamlit and Gradio. They’re great to get something up quickly. But as soon as we needed more flexibility or something more polished, there wasn’t really a path forward. Rebuilding the frontend properly in React isn’t whe
