A few years ago, companies protected their source code at all costs - security, paranoia.
Today: upload everything to two companies because they have an LLM.

Another Git tip I learned this week.
I was tired of a file (e.g. package-lock) flooding me with changes I didn’t want to commit.
git update-index --skip-worktree package-lock.json
This makes it silent. Once and for... until you need it back:
git update-index --no-skip-worktree package-lock.json

Today I was tasked with finding a niche operating system, and I came across Fuchsia - Google’s “general-purpose, modern, open-source operating system.”

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.

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?
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.

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?

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.
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.
