How AI makes Linux fun!

Remember those days when you face yourself with a challenge (I don’t use the term problems anymore …) and you start your research? For instance, I had the challenge to disconnect an external hard drive and reconnect it. Challenge was not to do physically it but solely from within a script. I had never done it before but anyway, I had some vage ideas of how to do it with e.g. eject the hard way with the help of sysfs. Normally what followed was a journey like this: Ask the Internet. Read some Q’n A, Blogs etc … Try out

De-Atomization is the Secret to Happiness | Nat Eliason

There are at least two kinds of fun:  Type 1 fun is fun in the moment. Watching a movie, playing a video game, scrolling TikTok, reading a book. You want to have fun, you do the fun thing, and voilá, it is fun.  Type 2 fun is fun in retrospect. Running a marathon is mostly un-fun from moment to moment; you’re often either zoned out or in some form of pain. But in retrospect, it was fun.  I’ve spent over 1,000 hours playing the video game DOTA 2, but I remember almost zero of that time. It was strong type

Sprint Retrospectives: The Unsung Hero of Agile Success

I’ve either been a part of or have run Sprint Retrospectives for the last 15 years. When done well, Sprint Retros make teams more effective, build trust and openness, and lead to overall better outcomes. Sprint Retrospectives are easy to gloss over as just another meeting that happens when you do Agile, but they really need to be treated with a little more respect and not just another checkbox you need to check to say you do Scrum. What Is a Sprint Retrospective? A Sprint Retrospective is a meeting at the end of every sprint, usually two or three weeks.

Final Year Project Report

I’ve recently completed my final year project, integrating the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js) with AI technologies. Now, I’m working on writing the final research paper/report, and I’m looking for some guidance. The project is done, but I’m finding it tricky to figure out the best way to structure the report and effectively present the technical and AI aspects. To all my fellow graduates can you help me out by sharing your final year reports or important tips on how you did it? submitted by /u/Haunting_Cranberry11 [comments] Source link

Feedback on Spacelift

Hi wonderful people! I am considering using Spacelift at my company. We are currently using terraform cloud but I am looking into something less dependent on hashicorp and something that will allow us to utilize other config/infra-as-code tools (ansible, opentofu, pulumi, etc). At my previous job I heavily used terraform cloud/enterprise but the number of terraform users/practitioners was in hundreds and budget was not really a problem (hard to believe but it was the case). My current team is really small (5 people) and for some folks there will be a pretty steep learning curve regardless of the tool we

Need help with electron js application

Hi everyone, I'm facing a persistent issue trying to capture audio output from desktop applications (or the entire screen) in my Electron app and could really use some help or insights. Goal: Capture audio from sources like Spotify, Chrome, VLC, or the entire screen output, process it using the Web Audio API (split channels, effects), and play it back. Problem: Both standard methods for desktop audio capture are failing on my system (windows 11): Using getUserMedia + chromeMediaSourceId: I get the source list (windows/screens) using desktopCapturer.getSources in the Main process (via IPC, as direct preload access failed initially). The source

Nuclear-powered battery could eliminate need for recharging

Forward-looking: As rechargeable lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries power everything from smartphones to electric vehicles, their limitations are becoming increasingly evident. Frequent recharging and environmental concerns related to lithium mining and battery disposal have prompted researchers to seek alternatives. A team led by Su-Il In, a professor at South Korea’s Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology, is developing an innovative solution: radiocarbon-powered nuclear batteries that could last for decades without needing a recharge. Professor In presented his team’s findings at the American Chemical Society’s Spring 2025 meeting, held March 23 – 27. The conference featured approximately 12,000 presentations on scientific advancements.
