Hey, I’m trying to create a pipeline that takes files from a flat directory source/ that contains files with names formatted as yyyy-mm-dd-some-file-name.md and processes them with the output being created in destination/yyyy/mm/dd/some-file-name.md. I managed to string together an ugly script that converts the source path to destination path, but the problem is that make says that there is no rule to make the target. Here is my code so far:
studies show a clear trend – output is up (more code, more commits, bigger diffs), but outcomes don’t reflect that trend. If anything, the average team is taking longer to ship worse software
I am thinking of doing freelance web development and I’m currently building my portfolio for it. However, I don’t have any degree at all and I live in an expensive country. My friend however says that I still might have a chance if I make good quality stuff. Right now I’m even working on creating a video platform website similar to YouTube (with it being fully functional) just to impress potential customers.
Back in January, I received a note from a senior software engineer in Silicon Valley. He described himself as an AI skeptic who became converted after trying Claude Code for the first time. “Overnight, it changed the way I do my job,” he wrote. “It’s really, really good.”
Realistically, how much more does AI for coding have to get out of leaning and training more for formal verification (with eg Lean, Rocq etc and their interop with mainstream langs)
Been running a handful of scheduled tasks on two VPS instances for about a year now — nightly DB dumps, cache warmers, a couple of data sync scripts. Had everything piped to log files and thought I was covered.
It’s that time again and I’d like to make my life easier. I have multiple CVs for different positions and in different languages. Recruiters and companies want the CVs in PDF.
I mean by useless is it’s so slow you can’t make games or even big projects for GUI, only you can do is AI/ML, Data Science, and basic stuff. I think Rust is better because of its speed and language capabilities?
If you maintain or use open-source projects on GitHub, you might have noticed that embedded star history charts (api.star-history.com) in README.md files broke recently. That’s because Github killed the API they relied on, citing high costs because people used it a lot. Well done microslop (they even broke their own UI because they forgot to update their frontend).
Inspired by this Lobsters thread, and some of the great comments within it, I would like to ask if anybody is doing some hobby programming this weekend?
Good used to have the lighthouse, which points to failure in the page. We can still have a 100% perfect score and the page be horrible (mine is a good example). Yet, the business pages are broken, links that aren’t working, forms that don’t submit, API’s that can’t load. When the page loads, to start with.
Ungate is a Cursor extension that lets you use your Claude, ChatGPT, or MiniMax subscription in Cursor instead of paying for API tokens. It proxies requests through a Cloudflare tunnel, supports streaming, tool calls, and vision. Open-source, MIT.
Engineers often complain that visibility should be their manager’s job. In other words, they think engineers should be able to focus on the code, while their manager figures out who’s doing well and rewards them.
i got an idea to build a semi-hypervisor, or rather, a supervisor, for a cortex-M3 system (i’ve chosen blue pill because it’s cheap and because i have tons of them).
iceoryx2 provides zero-copy inter-process communication mechanisms based on shared memory and data structures that are modified concurrently by multiple processes.
Deployed a backup script on a new server, tested it manually — worked fine. Set up crontab, came back next morning, no backup. Turns out /usr/local/bin wasn’t in cron’s PATH so pg_dump just silently didn’t exist.
Hugging Face crawls as many GitHub repositories as it can with the help of the Software Heritage Archive so as to create their Stack v2 LLM for code.
And of course without consent of rights holders.
Nobody argues with SRP in principle. Every developer I’ve worked with agrees a function should do one thing. The argument is always at the example, whether a given function is one thing or six, and that is the part the rule itself doesn’t settle.
StatusGator last checked the status of Codeberg on July 31, 2026 at 7:57 PM CEST and the service was operational. There have been 83 user-submitted reports of outages in the past 24 hours, but the outage is now resolved.
I’ve applied to between 550-600 jobs since December and hardly heard anything back. The past two weeks recruiters started reaching out to me and at this point I’m at least having early round discussions with 5 companies. They’re mostly smaller and somewhere in the health care space, but I went from virtually 0 to having something. Obviously it’s early stages so you can’t count on anything, but it looks like things may be picking up again.
I built a service whose primary client is a CLI program. I was thinking about building that client for Windows as well (not just WSL). My target users are generally technically-proficient so I’d rather not build a whole GUI app if it’s unnecessary. But I honestly have no idea how often Windows users use CLI tools beyond some Windows admin stuff.
wrote CLI in C++ to sort files.
it’s very simple, just download and use.
if you a photographer, video editor or just need to sort some files, you welcome (link in post)
I’ve been testing VPN services and somehow every one with a client has written their own. Proton, Windscribe, IVPN, Mullvad, AirVPN, NordVPN, and the list goes on.
