Terminal autocomplete on macOS: an IDE-style popup for zsh, bash, and fish

TL;DR: Figxit is a free, open source autocomplete popup for the macOS terminal. It lists subcommands, options, package.json scripts, and Makefile targets as you type, in zsh, bash, and fish, and orders them by what you run most in the current folder. It runs locally with no account and no telemetry. Source: github.com/en3sis/figxit . en3sis / figxit Native autocomplete popup for the macOS terminal. Th...

I Turned 44 Blog Posts Into a Frontend Roadmap You Have to Pass

It's Sunday night, the interview is on Thursday, and the frontend roadmap in your other tab has more topics than you have evenings. You're sure about half of them and fairly sure about the rest. The roadmap can't tell you which "fairly sure" is real. It only knows what you ticked. So test the topics before you read them. Here's what that looks like for HTML: ten questions drawn at random, seven right to pass, and the whole stage counts as cleared. No account and no reading, just ten que...

Gemini 4 Argon, modelo de IA avanzada que sacude la industria

Gemini 4 Argon modelo de IA avanzada acaba de aterrizar en los servidores de Google con una meta fija: liquidar las tareas donde otros sistemas tiran la toalla. Google abrió el grifo globalmente para desarrolladores en AI Studio y empresas en la plataforma Gemini , metiendo de lleno a los suscriptores Ultra en Google Antigravity y activando el Modo IA en el buscador. Nadie esperaba que el salto generacional llegara con semejante recorte de tarifas operativas ni con un enfoque tan agresivo hac...

Requests, Promises, Assertions, and Declarations: Rewriting Our AI Agent Workflow as a 1986 'Committed Speech' Machine

How Fernando Flores's 1986 Conversation for Action, Nuel Belnap's 1977 four-valued logic, and a 1976 HP 2000 BASIC resequencer replaced 130 lines of defensive prompt lawyering—and solved the exact state-machine bug that crashed both the Star Trek M-5 computer and my Piper Arrow. "What did you do for AI? I brought the scars. What did you do for humanity? I asked my curiosity-based questions, and the world changed around me." — Randal L. Schwartz 1. Portland, Thanksgi...

How many tools should an MCP server have? I measured 5 to 100 in Claude Code, Codex and Gemini

Most advice about MCP server design says keep the tool count small. I read 91 sources: 38 say design fewer tools, 20 give a number (mostly 10–20), and only 10 measured tool count against accuracy at all. Then I measured it: 1,932 runs, three clients, 5 to 100 tools. On today's top models accuracy didn't move, not with 100 tools, not with look-alikes, not even with vague names. What moves is cost, and how much depends on how your client loads tools, not on the model. Since 2026 all three clients ...

AI agents inside PestPac

Originally published at buildcortex.dev . An AI agent for PestPac connects through WorkWave's PestPac API (available to customers and approved developers, with a setup fee) or scheduled CSV reports, watches for cancellations, unscheduled service, idle leads and past-due invoices, and drafts the next step for a person to approve. PestPac already automates reminders and conversation summaries; the agent adds judgment and work that crosses into phones, QuickBooks and the CRM. An AI agent fo...

How to install Snow Leopard on modern (Apple Silicon) macOS

If you're a Snow Leopard nostalgic — or, like me a anemoiac — you might have bumped into an article from xadammr.au and/or the original one from LegacyOSXKVM, tried to run the precompiled vm (macintosh_preinstall.img), but kept running into unpredictable system crashes. I've personally tried that VM, together with a UTM template from a galleryrepo and experienced constant, unpredictable, OS crashes. Well, I've seem to been able to produce a stable build, by installing the OS from s...

From Impressions to Decisions: A Practical Measurement Stack for Telegram Ads

Launching an ad is easy. Learning something reliable from it is harder. Telegram Ads can introduce a channel, bot, mini app, or public post to a new audience. But an impression is not a customer, and a click is not necessarily a meaningful action. A useful campaign therefore needs two systems working together: an advertising system that records delivery and traffic; and a product analytics system that records what happens after the visit. This article presents a practical measurem...

Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 2: Side Hustle

🐦 Bird Buddy AI: Turning Open-Weight AI into a Birdwatching Companion What I Built I built Bird Buddy AI, a small project that brings AI and outdoor exploration together. The idea was simple: what if someone could take a picture of a bird they spotted outside and use an AI-powered tool to start learning about it? Bird Buddy AI lets users upload a bird photograph and receive an AI-generated identification suggestion with a description of visible features. It also includes a daily natu...

Show HN: Run AI-generated logic safely inside your app

Stof is an open-source runtime for logic you don't own or fully trust. Imagine a JSON document with functions inside, scoped to just the document that contains them. Stof instantiates this doc as a small wasm env, and makes these functions safe to call. They can't access or manipulate anything but their own doc. WebAssembly by itself is large in binary form, requires a lot of tooling, etc. Stof can be sent over the wire easily, is a superset of JSON for compatibility, and keeps the guarantees. I...
