4Programming is a search engine built for programmers. It prioritizes technical relevance by combining multiple indexes, code-aware ranking, and AI systems. Use it to find code examples, documentation, libraries, tools, tutorials, and services — faster and with fewer irrelevant results than general-purpose search engines. Part of the 4SEARCH network of topic specific search engines.
Grants.gov lists every federal grant, 867 open on the day I checked, but its website search is clunky if you check regularly. Grants.gov also has a public search API that needs no key and no account, and almost nobody uses it. This post shows how to call it from Python…
A pull request changes /infra/. The author posts it in chat: “Who should review this?” That’s a problem CODEOWNERS can help with. It won’t tell us who maintains the service or answers an incident, but it can save contributors…
So far, we've covered the foundations of Go, including variables, data types, operators, conditional statements, loops, and functions.

Clean Architecture is one of those architectural concepts that almost everyone agrees is valuable. Until someone asks how many interfaces, abstractions, folders, and layers we actually need to implement it. In backend development, separating business rules from infrastructure can make a lot of sense. But when we bring the same…
Once the filters have left a list of deployments that may serve a request, a strategy picks one. Routing groups let different model groups use different strategies, and sub-routers decide which model group a request should go to…
The router has three tools for failures, and each works at a different scope. A retry tries the same model group again, and the new pick can land on a different deployment. A fallback moves the request to a different model group.…
Ladybird has just made an interesting case for its independent browser engine. It has two notable improvements that make the experience of browsing the web much smoother. Two aspects of everyday browsing include scrolling through…
In the last post we looked at what Zephyr is and wrote a small program with two threads and a message queue. A common next question is: how do I actually learn this properly? Zephyr is big. There are hundreds of boards, a build tool, Devicetree, Kconfig and a long…
Merging PDFs sounds like a 30-second job — until the pages come out scrambled and the file won't email. Here's the clean method plus the five mistakes to avoid. Combining PDFs is one of those tasks that sounds like a 30-second…
