Well, I guess I’ve built my own KVM :)

Hello, my old new friend.

Dear all,

triggering another AWS Lambda on success or failure only works with asynchronous invocations.

Thanks,

I love open source. If a function is missing, you can simply add it yourself.

Home Check end-of-life, support schedule, and release timelines for more than 380+ products at one place.

I love that somebody took the time to do this Sisyphean work of collecting the EoL dates for all major open-source software. Check it out: endoflife.date

I like to play with languages. Recently, I tested #Rust, and I must say it's one of those languages that could be a game changer - as a replacement for C++. However, I've also noticed a new rising star: #Zig. Maybe it's time to play with it as well...

I just learned about this interesting project sponsored by the FreeBSD Foundation: a GUI for managing bhyve, aiming to be a BSD alternative to Proxmox.

I'm looking forward to seeing how it develops.

Duolingo will replace contract workers with AI Duolingo is making some AI-focused changes.

Sticking with the topic of Duolingo, it seems that it's yet another company adopting an 'AI-first' approach.

Good, free, fun: The simple formula that has made Duolingo a daily habit for millions Perhaps no app has mastered user loyalty quite like Duolingo, the gamified language-learning platform 34 million people a day can't put down.

Good, free, fun: The simple formula that has made Duolingo a daily habit for millions Perhaps no app has mastered user loyalty quite like Duolingo, the gamified language-learning platform 34 million people a day can't put down.

Can you learn a new language using only Duolingo? I just read an article claiming plenty of people have done exactly that—thanks solely to Duolingo. I haven’t used it in ages, but when I did, it was just a fun way to play with words and pick up a few new ones. What’s your take?

Friendly reminder: strive to create more and consume less.

I wonder if anyone is working on an AI-specific language that isn’t human-readable but is optimized for generation by LLMs.

Does that even make sense?

It looks like Microsoft is about to kill Skype Skype's days appear to be numbered, as a hidden string in the latest Skype for Windows preview suggests Microsoft will shutter the service in May.

Wow, Skype was one of the first voice communicators I ever used. I consider it an Internet legacy. However, it seems the opportunity for growth was missed, and players like Apple, Facebook, and Signal have taken over the pedestal of voice communication.

DeepSeek has released 3FS – a high-performance distributed file system built to tackle the challenges of AI training and inference workloads. It’s exciting to see fresh innovations around file systems, especially when we often assume these issues are already solved.

How Core Git Developers Configure Git What `git config` settings should be defaults by now? Here are some settings that even the core developers change.

Great advice on Git settings! I think many of these should be the default.

I think smartwatches should add a new exercise: “Putting a kid to bed.”

Obviously, it belongs under “Extreme Sports.”

My favorite thing about 3D printing? Bad leveling.

Why is there a screen that says "It is now safe to turn off your computer"? - The Old New Thing Because that's when you know.

This story reminds me of my childhood. As a kid, I never wondered why it was designed that way. Then, when I was older, I got a computer that could turn itself off - so I never revisited the question. This little story unravels a childhood mystery :)

Thats a grate advise!

Just a friendly reminder: if you want to use an automounted nullfs on #FreeBSD, try these two commands. Nullfs lets you mirror a directory at a new location so any changes appear in both places (like a bind mount on Linux).

What a great idea! https://sectube.tv/ collects IT security recordings all in one place. Looks like today, instead of Netflix, I'll be diving into one of these videos.

What's your take on this?

2. One of the best ways to learn is to test yourself as often as possible—and AI can help by generating low-stake tests.

1. AI can easily help you produce many examples, allowing you to better visualize and understand the theory.

In 2023, researchers already noticed the potential to improve learning effectiveness by utilizing AI. They conducted a couple of studies, and one of them (linked below) discusses 5 strategies to incorporate into your learning schedule.

For me, 2 of them resonate the most:
