Show HN: Tach – Visualize and untangle your Python codebase 39 by the1024 | 5 comments on Hacker News. Hey everyone! We're Evan and Caelean, the authors of Tach. Tach gives you the tools to build a modular monolith in Python: visibility into the state of your dependencies, as well as the tools to fix them. Since our last Show HN ( https://ift.tt/LPhs0xC ) we've shipped support for layers, third party dependencies, visualizations, and more. Tach is: * Open source (MIT) and completely free * Fast (written in Rust ) * In use by teams at NVIDIA, PostHog, and more As your team and codebase grows, code gets tangled up. This hurts developer velocity, and increases cognitive load for engineers. One way Tach differs from existing systems that handle this problem (build systems, import linters, etc) is in it's ability to be incrementally adopted and its runtime speed. If you struggle with dependencies, onboarding new engineers, or a massive codebase, Tach is for you! We built it w...

(Ab)using general search algorithms on dynamic optimization problems (2023) 4 by h45x1 | 3 comments on Hacker News. I wrote this blog back in 2023 but since then I became a frequent lurker on HN and decided to repost the blog here. For me, writing it was about connecting the dots between dynamic optimization techniques I've studied as an economist and the more general search algorithms studied in CS.

Show HN: A New Way to Learn Languages 28 by sebnun | 24 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN, I’m Pablo, I built this application to learn languages using podcasts: https://ift.tt/blU4PkC (No signup required) There are a lot of tools to learn languages, but most of them focus on beginners (understandably so, that’s where the money is) but not many exist that target intermediate or advanced learners. The ones that exist make you find content on your own and then import that into their apps, which can be tricky when you don’t know where to look. LangTurbo has a unique curated database of podcasts by language (some even have dialect labels) that you can browse by topic, or search by keyword, so you can discover content and learn in the same place. Having a good language learning method is important, but having the motivation to keep learning is much more important. Some tools like Duolingo try to keep you motivated with “gamification”. I don’t like that, I think it gives you a false sense of...

I made this app to write books chapter by chapter, while taking & browsing through temporary notes for each chapter. The leftmost sidebar is the list of chapters. The sidebar to the right of that is the list of editors in the current chapter. The UI & UX are a bit weird, but they have a basic logic to them.
