Clear — An intent-first agentic development language. Write readable specifications. AI agents turn them into real software.
Linked is a very interesting new “language” that structures an agent friendly spec in a way that it can be directly be “run” or “compiled” into source in several programming languages.
Free online tool for optimizing animated GIF images to reduce file size. Compress GIFs with LZW compression, reduce colors or frame rate, remove duplicate frames.
Linked is a tool for folks using animated gifs! Not many of us left? Anyway, this will optimize them.
Midnight Commander Development Center
I always loved Norton Commander back in the old days before guis! I have to try this on my Ubuntu system, or other character based environments.
I have met a lot of developers in my life.
Late…
Linked is a fun article, mostly because I agree with just about all the points made!
A fast and efficient type assistant for Python, including tensor shape inference - RightTyper/RightTyper
Linked is Python RIghtTyper which sounds great... if it works. It will analyze the type hints in your python (if any) and offers to gerentate them for you. Something like that. Many ways in which that might not go right but I read a very positive overview of it!
Explore and compare open source Ruby libraries
Linked is one of several comprehensive catalogs of Ruby tools, packages and libraries.
A reactive notebook for Python — run reproducible experiments, execute as a script, deploy as an app, and version with git. - marimo-team/marimo: A reactive notebook for Python — run reproducible ...
An impressive "rewrite" of Jupyter Notebooks which has more logical "recalc" rules.
Attached is yet another article that tries to clarify the options for python package management. The problem is that this space is dynamic and overpopulated, so any article quickly becomes out of dare.
👋🏼 This is part of series on concurrency, parallelism and asynchronous programming in Ruby. It’s a deep dive, so it’s divided into 12 main parts:
Your Ruby programs are always multi-threaded: Part 1 Your Ruby programs are always multi-threaded: Part 2 Consistent, request-local state Ruby methods are colorless The Thread API: Concurrent, colorless Ruby Interrupting Threads: Concurrent, colorless Ruby Thread and its MaNy friends: Concurrent, colorless Ruby Fibers: Concurrent, colorless Ruby Processes, Ractors and alternative runtimes: Parallel Ruby Scaling concurrency: Streaming Ruby Abstracted, concurrent Ruby Closing thoughts, kicking the tires and tangents How I dive into CRuby concurrency You’re reading “The Thread API: Concurrent, colorless Ruby”.
Linked is a really excellent, comprehensive tour of the Thread class and feature of Ruby. If you're a ruby person, then this is as good as anything you will find.
Learn about hash value omission in Ruby, their benefits, examples, and implementation guidelines for more concise code
Linked is an article about a feature in Ruby that I didn’t know about. I still think Ruby is superior to python in many ways. Unfortunately circumstances and “the world” and “time” has gotten me leaning more and more into python. Still when I next need to create a web based app, I can’t see using…
An Experimental Package Management Solution for Python
See attached info about RYE. Ok so I complain that python has so many different package managers, virtual environment mechanisms, dependency managers, and so on. Much to my chagrin, I recently read something saying, “whatever you do, don’t use poetry”.
Rye But, but, but… rye looks really nice…
⏰ Modern datetime library for Python, written in Rust - ariebovenberg/whenever
Another python “improvement” by providing a Rustlang implementation of a python thing. My thought: “if we keep going down this path, python will become no more than a rustlang preprocessor”😊
Ruby library based on astronomy and astrometry books - rhannequin/astronoby
This is for you #astronomy geeks out there. A package containing a bunch of technical algorithms used in astronomy. If you’re writing the next best solar eclipse automation app, this is for you!
A very practical guide to APIs to work with Excel files in Python. Of course everyone's using Google Sheets so we need that too!
Explore data and build apps seamlessly with marimo, a next-generation Python notebook.
I have not tried this yet, but reading this summary – – which is quite comprehensive – – tell me that the authors have really understood something important about Jupiter notebooks and then trying something that could be a whole lot more valuable. When I use Jupiter notebooks. I always get points…
Short and simple video lessons that start from scratch. Tools and thoughts that might make your professional life more enjoyable.
Amazing that this comprehensive tutorial site is totally free. Useful.
Extremely useful package for creating pretty tables for display and publication. Just look at the examples!
Create web-based user interfaces with Python. The nice way. - zauberzeug/nicegui
Someone implemented a really nice simple GUI with this. I was impressed. I had not heard of it before and maybe neither had you.
Recently I needed to run millions of API calls to an internal service. API calls are IO blocking. This means that when my service calls the…
A great step by step introduction to ASYNCIO in Python for cleaner concurrency and synchronization.
Rails debugging dev tools for faster development. Inspect your request details (queries, logs, cache, jobs and more).
This is super useful for rails apps. Will it work for other frameworks like Sinatra? I haven’t tried this yet but it looks promising.
