I know many of us here have side projects. I’m wondering if there’s a project that you never figured out how to finish. Maybe it requires an non-existent algorithm, or the scope is too large for one person. Despite the barrier, it continues to live rent-free in your brain and you return to it occasionally hoping that you’ll crack it this time. I’m curious...

Hi, I am planning a very simplified, domain-specific app serving platform. The deployment will be based on linux containers, but I want users to interact with the platform only via a software library (they don’t need to install docker or set up CI scripts or indeed follow the git flow). So my question to Lobsters is: Is there a service that can build containers...

(I thought I’d ask here rather than stackoverflow or reddit because I trust people here more, but I don’t know if this takes the community in an unwanted direction) My main browser has been Chrome ever since they released that video showing how fast it was (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCgQDjiotG0) (GOD THAT WAS 14 YEARS AGO). In a sudden bout of paranoia I decided to go back...

Why did you start programming, and why did you keep with it? (Promise this isn’t gonna be a regular thing!)

I’ve used Linux my whole life, but I’m still not very good at troubleshooting and recovering from system freezes, distro-specific bugs, and quirks with drivers and suspend. I know some of the basic stuff — Magic SysRq keys (REISUB), dropping to a virtual terminal with Ctrl+Alt+F3, killing processes if it’s an app that’s frozen, grepping dmesg, and purging and re-installing graphics drivers. But I...

Looking to get advice and additional insights on hosting large language models. I have gathered some preliminary information about several options, including: Lambda Labs - Good for obtaining GPU virtual machines (VM) or purchasing bare metal, however it lacks certain features like automatic web endpoints setup. What are your thoughts on its reliability and suitability for production workloads? Vast AI - Similar to Lambda...

Would love to hear about the most interesting automation you have created either at work or personal automation. Also what language did you use?

I’ve been into lightweight, privacy friendly pages recently. Can you share simple but effective websites? I’m looking into some inspirations. Sometimes I jump around 1mb.club and 1kb.club . There are some nice gems among them.

Name: editors Description: Text editors Similar tags: emacs (Emacs editor), vim (Vim editor) Previous proposal: Is it time for an editors tag? Following stories since 2023 qualify for the tag. Editors stories are usually highly upvoted. They have been posted variously under emacs, vim, programming, and release.

Even though Raku and modern Perl share the same ancestry, both are nowadays considered to be separate languages.

To be clear, I am talking about working proficiency. Able to create large, maintainable and “production ready” software that is understandable and idiomatic. Most programmers will learn that once they’ve tackled picking up their second language, that picking up any amount of future languages is relatively easy. There are exceptions to that, of course, but broadly speaking you should be able to transfer the...
