The Linux Upskill Challenge

A compact and previously paid course is now free and open source. It teaches everything someone needs in order to transition to Linux.

The range of subjects covered includes a treat for everyone;from setting up your own lab on a VPS and accessing it, to installing software, exploring the file structure, working with the CLI and its commands, to more advanced subjects like scripting on bash

The PaSh Project gives your POSIX script superpowers by utilizing parallelization in order to speed up execution times.

The PaSh Project gives your POSIX script superpowers by utilizing parallelization in order to speed up execution times. This leads to faster results for data scientists, engineers, biologists, economists, administrators, and programmers. I remember the time when the saying was "Learn Perl so you don't have to learn the Shell and its hundreds of utilities". Fast forward some decades and the use of shell scripts still has not been eradicated. On the contrary, their use has increased due to the rise of containers, VM's, administering the cloud, and Linux itself. This also serves as a lesson to those who are quick to denounce technologies as 'dead'. There's a time where a new use case revitalizes an old technology. So what is meant by "Unix philosophy"? full article on i-programmer: https://www.i-programmer.info/news/90-tools/14990-the-pash-project-advancing-the-unix-philosophy-one-step-further.html

Open Source Is Not Just About Software

It's about infrastructure as well, something that although not attracting the limelight, is as important as the open source software it hosts. Today the stewards of the largest open source registries in the world have issued an open letter demanding urgent reform in how open source infrastructure is funded, maintained, and operated. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/136-open-source/18334-open-source-is-not-just-about-software.html

DeepSWE - Best Benchmark For Evaluating AI Coding Agents?

DeepSWE is a high-fidelity benchmarking platform designed to evaluate the performance of frontier AI coding agents on complex long-horizon software engineering tasks. Unlike traditional benchmarks that reuse existing GitHub data, this system utilizes original, contamination-free tasks across five major programming languages to prevent models from relying on memorized solutions, creating a much clearer separation between frontier coding models than older public benchmarks like SWE-bench. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/105-artificial-intelligence/19016-deepswe-best-benchmark-for-evaluating-ai-coding-agents.html
