Software Development Lessons Learned from Video Games: Don’t Forget to Side Quest

I’ve never really been great at side questing in video games. In most games I play, I tend to lock in on the main storyline. The objective is clear, the path is defined, and progress feels measurable. Side quests exist but they get pushed off with the assumption that I’ll come back to them later.

Show HN: A free ESG stock screener that publishes its losses and methodology

Hey HN, JSS(JumpstartSignal) is a free, ESG-filtered daily stock screener. I built it after some really badly-timed quantum computing stock buys, so I felt I needed to learn more about systematic, longer-horizon approaches and the underlying technicals instead of chasing themes. Three things about it that might be of interest: 1. Methodology is fully documented at https://jumpstartsignal.com/how-it-works/ 5-stage pipeline, 54 signals tested individually plus 1,836 combinations evaluated, walk...

Docling Studio Earns a 67.76 Proof of Usefulness Score by Building a Visual Debugger for RAG Pipelines

Docling Studio is an open-source visual debugger for RAG pipelines built on IBM's Docling. Instead of treating document extraction as a black box, it lets you see exactly what happened: bounding boxes from OCR, chunks before embedding, retrieval results and fix what's wrong directly. Two weeks after public launch, the project has earned 60+ GitHub stars, direct engagement from the Docling team at IBM Research (including TSC chair Peter Staar), and inbound integration requests from companies. ...

How Bitwarden Encrypts and Decrypts Secrets

As part of my efforts in reducing my dependency on Big Tech, I have been researching how to self-host my password manager. One solution that looks very promising is Vaultwarden , an open source clone of the Bitwarden cloud server. An interesting aspect of this server is that it stores all the secrets in a standard SQLite database, so in addition to having the self-hosted password server I could keep a backup copy of the database on my machine and query it directly. But of course, the secrets ...
