First Release of LDL 0.1 — A Small Library with a Big Soul. One API for 30 Years of Computer History Hello, developers! I'm excited to announce the first public release of the LDL library. LDL (Little Directmedia Layer) is more than just a cross-platform library — it's a bridge between different eras of software development. It lets you write code that runs just as well on Windows 95 as it do
Lo sviluppo software nel 2024 non riguarda più solo la scrittura di righe di codice sintatticamente corrette. È diventato un esercizio di gestione della complessità, orchestrazione di sistemi e, sempre più spesso, integrazione intelligente dell'AI. In questo articolo, esploreremo i pilastri che definiscono l'ingegneria del software moderna e come rimanere rilevanti in un ecosistema che cambia ogni
You've heard about Hermes Agent - the open-source, self-improving AI assistant that remembers what matters, builds reusable skills, and can live on your own infrastructure. It sounds brilliant. And it is. But then comes the practical question: where should you actually run it? You have two main paths. You can roll up your sleeves and set up a VPS yourself - install everything, configure the messag
Book: Hexagonal Architecture in Go Also by me: Thinking in Go (2-book series) — Complete Guide to Go Programming + Hexagonal Architecture in Go My project: Hermes IDE | GitHub — an IDE for developers who ship with Claude Code and other AI coding tools Me: xgabriel.com | GitHub You sit down to write the first test for a new Go service. Reflex kicks in. You reach for mockgen, or mockery, o
We all understand that free services from a company that is spending billions on computing power won't remain free. It's inevitable. But the reality is we are all already using Codex. OpenAI recently announced that Codex was made available in ChatGPT for free, but access was limited. At the moment, developers can use code completions, refactorings, or generate entire functions without spending any
macOS tar destroys files on Linux: I validated it in my real Railway pipeline and documented the 3 cases nobody mentions There's a Hacker News thread that resurfaced this week with 107 points about a 2024 article: tar on macOS creates archives that Linux can't extract cleanly. The community reacted the way it always does — "use GNU tar", "install gtar with Homebrew", "this has been known for yea
Tar en macOS destroza archivos en Linux: lo validé en mi pipeline real de Railway y documenté los 3 casos que nadie menciona Hay un hilo en Hacker News que resurfaceó esta semana con 107 puntos sobre un artículo de 2024: tar en macOS crea archivos que Linux no puede extraer limpiamente. La comunidad reaccionó como siempre: "usá GNU tar", "instalá gtar con homebrew", "esto es conocido desde hace
I assumed chunking was a solved problem. Pick a text splitter, set 512 tokens, add some overlap, move on. After running structured experiments across three different data types, that assumption collapsed. The best chunker for markdown documentation actively hurt performance on code. The winner changed completely depending on what I was chunking. Data type Winner Headline metric Markdown doc
