Over the last couple of months, I was realizing an idea I had for a very long time. Back then, LLMs weren't that popular nor accessible and so it was quite unrealistic to build what I was able to build now: a living world with different forms of intelligence in there, which will find their way and meaning in the world by their basic needs, personality and what will happen to them in their life time.

One day, I had the idea to create a platform for projects. But I noticed that in most similar services, you just add your project, and the platforms don't care at all. I'd like to do it differently.

Briefly about the name

But first, I'd like to say that the name was invented in ten minutes. It may be long, but I think it's perfectly fitting.

This platform represents the same lists we've become accustomed to, but with one caveat: all projects included in the list are taken into long-term, periodic promotion.

I don't like the word "promotion" because it's so overused, and when we hear it, we immediately think of website advertising. However, here it's simply appropriate, so that's why it's used.

What do you think? How do you like the idea?

Hi I am a backend developer for almost a decade and mostly work on Windows servers; when it comes to deploy the internal tools and web application. For redis we have to spin a another VM in hypervisor just to run Redis. For local development I have to install heavy ass docker desktop or run a parallel operating system(WSL) just to run teeny tiny redis server. Some alternatives exist already such as godis but they only cover partial redis surface

I have been trying to create redis fork that runs nativerly on Windows but for a single person it's a herculean task. So i have been taking help of various coding agent and ai models to come up with something that can help run be run natively on Windows so I can run redis-py and arq and huey like libraries with ease.

So here it is: FrostDB.

It's a single binary that currently implements from basic GET/SET commands to Pub/Sub, Streams, Hashes, Lists, Sets, and GEO commands with RDB import/export, LRU eviction etc. It's compatible with many Redis client libraries across multiple programming languages, including those that use Redis as a message queue. The implementation of the supported commands is tested against the original Redis test suite from the Redis GitHub repository. I'm still testing a few things and am now shifting my focus toward performance.

This isn't meant to replace Redis, and I'm not telling anyone to switch to it. But if you're looking for a Redis-compatible server that runs natively on Windows, something now exists, at least for development and testing.

I’m experimenting with a small shell utility for filesystem bookmarks, and I’d like to understand whether this is a problem other people have.

The idea is to define persistent or temporary bookmarks for directories:

``` bm add work ~/Work bm temp build /tmp/build ```

and then use them directly in paths:

``` cd @work ls @work/project ```

The utility would also support renaming bookmarks, promoting temporary bookmarks to persistent ones, demoting them, and clearing temporary bookmarks.

I’m not sharing the implementation yet. At this stage, I’m mainly interested in how other people handle this today:

* Do you use aliases, environment variables, shell functions, z, autojump, or something else? * Would explicit names such as @work be useful, or would they feel redundant? * Would temporary bookmarks be useful in real workflows? * What would this need to offer to be worth using instead of existing directory-jumping tools?

Hi, I build a website about everything related to names. I focused on two core ideas, verified data sources and a clean UI. The reason I made this website is, pretty much everyone has a name, and at some point, most ppl looks it up. And I want to be the website with definitive information on it which is reliable.

I recently came up with a new feature (as suggested by the title of this post and idea came from FiveThirtyEight form a 2014 article, however I don’t think their tool exists anymore), where you can type your name and it will then tell you a bunch of interesting facts for example the typical age of people with this name, how many of them are alive etc.

All the data comes from open-source data, and aggregated. I would love to put some fun facts here about certain names, but I think its best if you explore for yourself fun facts about your own names. The biggest weakness I feel about this website, is due to my infrastructure to keep it running form free I’m limited on how many pages is can have. So, my pages can run deep with information, but I struggle with breadth, as you would see the website is quite heavy on US data and recently, I’ve been trying to include more.

I would love any feedback on this new feature or the website in general, or anything more you would like to see. Thanks!
