Developed using react+vite
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1pw9ok7/developed_using_reactvite/

<!-- SC_OFF -->Hi so i am 4th year computer science student and i developed this application where a student can join a class just like google classroom and they can answer some quizes given by the teacher and they can also track thier improvement by looking at the analytics. For the teacher they can create a Classroom and it will give the teacher the class code that they can give to thier students so they can join. I also added where a teacher can post a lesson and attach a link to it. they can also track thier students grades like who's exceling and who got low grade so the teacher can help that student. the teacher can also export thier student grade in csv type file or in excel. you can try the app now by going to this website and test my application.

SDSL : a new/old shader programming language
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1pwx9cr/sdsl_a_newold_shader_programming_language/

<!-- SC_OFF -->Hi there (again)! I'm one of the maintainers of the Stride engine, we're currently in the process of developing a compiler for our shader language SDSL. For a bit of context, SDSL is HLSL with a mixin system, you could mix and match shader modules to create your own shaders, pick whatever data or function you needed. All of that was done in text form and then transpiled in HLSL or GLSL. As you can guess performance were terrible which drew us to investigate compiling SDSL directly to SPIR-V. This blog post is part 3, it's the rewrite of the SDSL parser and how we're making it more performant!

Python JSON serialization: handling nested objects, dataclasses, and type safety without boilerplate
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1pwz0dd/python_json_serialization_handling_nested_objects/

<!-- SC_OFF -->Python’s built-in json module works well for basic JSON types (dict, list, strings, numbers), but once you deal with nested objects, dataclasses, enums, or type hints, it quickly turns into custom to_dict() / from_dict() code everywhere. I wrote a short article describing a small Python library I built to explore a different approach: strict, type-aware serialization and deserialization that works directly with Python classes (including dataclasses, __slots__, enums, and nested objects) and fails loudly on mismatches instead of silently accepting bad data. Article (includes examples and design tradeoffs):
https://medium.com/dev-genius/jsonic-python-serialization-that-just-works-3b38d07c426d For anyone interested in the design exploration that led here, I also wrote an early article a couple of years ago when Jsonic was just a prototype, focusing on the initial ideas and tradeoffs rather than the current implementation:
https://medium.com/dev-genius/can-python-do-type-safe-json-serialization-77e4d73ccd08 Interested in feedback on where this approach makes sense vs. existing tools (Pydantic, Marshmallow, etc.), and where it doesn’t. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/Specific-Positive966 (https://www.reddit.com/user/Specific-Positive966)

<!-- SC_OFF -->For anyone studying YOLOv8 image classification on custom datasets, this tutorial walks through how to train an Ultralytics YOLOv8 classification model to recognize 196 different car categories using the Stanford Cars dataset. It explains how the dataset is organized, why YOLOv8-CLS is a good fit for this task, and demonstrates both the full training workflow and how to run predictions on new images. This tutorial is composed of several parts : 🐍Create Conda environment and all the relevant Python libraries. 🔍 Download and prepare the data: We'll start by downloading the images, and preparing the dataset for the train 🛠️ Training: Run the train over our dataset 📊 Testing the Model: Once the model is trained, we'll show you how to test the model using a new and fresh image.
