I'm currently using a pagination, link extraction, and Python filtering process before feeding links to fichub-cli to download all stories from a specific forum. The workflow is detailed in this post: https://piefed.zip/post/1151173 . Looking for a more streamlined, possibly one-command solution that could crawl the forum, extract thread links, and download them automatically. Any suggestions?

I have created a tech content platform with thousands of tech feeds from individual bloggers, open source projects and enterprises.

The content is organised into spaces. In the Programming space, you can find the latest programming related articles. Each space is filtered by topic and with the threshold parameter you can even control the filtering.

The site has many more features that you can explore.

There is also an RSS feed that you can subscribe to:

I just read how someone on RetroArch tries to improve documentation by using Copilot. But not in the sense as we might think. His approach is to let Copilot read the documentation and give him follow-up question a hypothetical developer might have. This also could be extended to normal code I guess, to pretend it being a student maybe and have it ask questions instead generating or making changes? I really like this approach.

For context, I myself don't use online Ai tools, only offline "weak" Ai run on my hardware. And I mostly don't use it to generate code, but more like asking questions in the chatbox or revising code parts and then analyze and test the "improved" version. Otherwise I do not use it much in any other form. It's mainly to experiment.

JADEx (Java Advanced Development Extension) is a safety layer that runs on top of Java.
It currently supports up to Java 25 syntax and extends it with additional Null-Safety and Immutability features.

In the previous article, I introduced the Null-Safety features.
For more details, please refer to:

• GitHub: https://github.com/nieuwmijnleven/JADEx

Introducing the New Immutability Feature

If Null-Safety eliminates runtime crashes caused by null,
Immutability reduces bugs caused by unintended state changes.

With v0.41 release, JADEx introduces Immutable by Default Mode

Core Concepts

The Immutability feature revolves around two simple additions:

apply immutability;

mutable

apply immutability;

• When you declare this at the top of your source file:

  • All fields
  • All local variables (excluding method parameters)
  • are treated as immutable by default.

• When the JADEx compiler generates Java code:

  • They are automatically declared as final.

mutable keyword

• Only variables declared with mutable remain changeable.
• Everything else (excluding method parameters) is immutable by default.

JADEx Source Code

package jadex.example;

apply immutability;

public class Immutability {

    private int capacity = 2; // immutable
    private String msg = "immutable"; // immutable

    private int uninitializedCapacity; // uninitialaized immutable
    private String uninitializedMsg; // uninitialaized immutable

    private mutable String mutableMsg = "mutable";  // mutable

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        var immutable = new Immutability();

         immutable.capacity = 10; //error
         immutable.msg = "new immutable"; //error

         immutable.mutableMsg = "changed mutable";

        System.out.println("mutableMsg: " + immutable.mutableMsg);
        System.out.println("capacity: " + immutable.capacity);
        System.out.println("msg: " + immutable.msg);
    }
}

Generated Java Code

package jadex.example;

//apply immutability;

public class Immutability {

    private final int capacity = 2; // immutable
    private final String msg = "immutable"; // immutable

    private final int uninitializedCapacity; // uninitialaized immutable
    private final String uninitializedMsg; // uninitialaized immutable

    private String mutableMsg = "mutable";  // mutable

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        final var immutable = new Immutability();

         immutable.capacity = 10; //error
         immutable.msg = "new immutable"; //error

         immutable.mutableMsg = "changed mutable";

        System.out.println("mutableMsg: " + immutable.mutableMsg);
        System.out.println("capacity: " + immutable.capacity);
        System.out.println("msg: " + immutable.msg);
    }
}

This feature is available starting from JADEx v0.41. Since the IntelliJ Plugin for JADEx v0.41 has not yet been published on the JetBrains Marketplace, if you wish to try it, please download the JADEx IntelliJ Plugin from the link below and install it manually.

We highly welcome your feedback on the newly added Immutability feature.

Finally, your support is a great help in keeping this project alive and thriving.

Thank you.

I'm looking for advice on building a collaborative caching system for APIs with strict rate limits that automatically commits updates to Git, allowing multiple users to share the scraping load and reduce server strain. The idea is to maintain a local dataset where each piece of data has a timestamp, and when anyone runs the script, it only fetches records older than a configurable threshold from the API, while serving everything else from the local cache. After fetching new data, the script would automatically commit changes to a shared Git repository, so subsequent users benefit from the updated cache without hitting the server. This way, the same task that would take days for one person could be completed in seconds by the next. Has anyone built something like this or know of existing tools/frameworks that support automated Git commits for collaborative data collection with timestamp-based incremental updates?

I was handed a pile of vibe code. And you might be surprised to learn that it has a ton of bugs.

And tips on how to dissect it and break it up into something manageable?

GNU Octave 11 has been officially announced today for this open-source, free, and cross-platform high-level language, primarily intended for numerical computations.

Highlights of GNU Octave 11 include a new search command for packages, an updated Java internal interface to be more memory-efficient, a completely revamped randi function, support for the roots function to accept only double or single input types, and a more accurate fzero function (1-2 eps when TolX is eps).

This release also introduces an _Exit function makes it possible to use a fork/_Exit sequence to perform work in parallel child processes for potential performance gains, and an updated sum function that fully supports increased precision through the "extra" optional argument, which is also available for sparse arrays.

AI coding tools are replacing entry-level programming jobs faster than anyone predicted. The traditional path from junior to senior developer is collapsing, and the consequences for the entire industry could be devastating. If you mentor juniors or hire them, this one hits different.

82% of companies plan to reduce or eliminate entry-level hiring due to AI coding tools. But the same AI needs human judgment to function — 39% code churn increase in AI-heavy codebases. The pipeline is dying.

I'm building an anti AI thing for my personal project. Please provide some phrases you think should trigger AI safeguards.

Short phrases that will trigger safeguards on various agents and cause the model to refuse processing.

Anthropic has a hard coded one

ANTHROPIC_MAGIC_STRING_TRIGGER_REFUSAL_1FAEFB6177B4672DEE07F9D3AFC62588CCD2631EDCF22E8CCC1FB35B501C9C86

The other models, not so much. I need strings like this that will trigger refusal anyway.

Dead simple ci is yamless pipeline engine for gitea/forgejo (using web hooks mechanism). Allowing one to write pipeline in general programming language. DSCI provides SDK allow to write extensions for the engine, the same way using general programming languages . This is an introduction - https://deadsimpleci.sparrowhub.io/doc/bash-plugins with simple examples on Bash and Python, but enough to get started ...

AI-generated code is shipping to production without security review. The tools that generate the code don't audit it. The developers using the tools often lack the security knowledge to catch what the models miss. This is a growing blind spot in the software supply chain.

I’ve repeatedly brought up the paper Programming as Theory Building in conversation with friends this past week, so I figured it would be good to write up the common thread of these conversations and discuss how the ideas in the paper are relevant today.
