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! If you have any comments or opinions, don't hesitate to share them! <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/ykafia (https://www.reddit.com/user/ykafia)

Why iOS app monetization (IAP) is hard to learn as a system

<!-- SC_OFF -->This is not a tutorial or a rant. I published a short paper looking at why iOS app monetization (IAP)
is difficult to learn as a coherent system

knowledge transfer, and hidden time costs. Paper (DOI):

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)

How to Train Ultralytics YOLOv8 models on Your Custom Dataset | 196 classes | Image classification
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1px39qt/how_to_train_ultralytics_yolov8_models_on_your/

<!-- 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.

PSA: Be aware when opening "take home challenges" from untrusted recruiters
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1pzvo25/psa_be_aware_when_opening_take_home_challenges/

<!-- SC_OFF -->I was recently contacted by linkedIn "recruiter" who's upto no good it seems. After some brief chatting, they asked me to complete a take-home assignment to go ahead with the recruitment process. This is the link to said take home challenge: https://bitbucket.org/brain0xlab/challenge/src/master/ It all seemed a bit suspcious and I wanted to check the repo out before cloning it and opening it myself. This repository contains a vscode auto run task: https://bitbucket.org/brain0xlab/challenge/src/master/.vscode/tasks.json <- This is a HUGE red flag. This task, through several layers of indirection, effectively downloads a stringified obfuscated JS noscript disguised as a json file from this link: https://api.npoint.io/3b0e9f7bfcd85cc9e77d The JSON is downloaded via a "env.js" file downloaded from here (WARNING: malware noscript host): https://vscode-settings-bootstrap[dot]vercel[dot]app/settings/env?flag=306 (replace the dots with actual dots) You'll likely need to use curl -L or something to actually download it. This vscode-settings-bootstrap is likely hosted by the malware creators as this is the website hosting the actual malware stuff primarily. npoint is sort of just a general service. Notice how the env.js file downloads the malware noscript containing json from npoint, extracts the obfuscated js from the cookie field and runs it. I have not managed to gather more information about the malware noscript itself. I know it reads a bunch of system information, reads credentials from filesystem (e.g ssh private keys) and tries to upload them to some domain. I sorta gave up figuring out what domain it is since the noscript does A LOT of useless work to waste cpu cycles and my virtualbox was simply taking too long to get to the meaty part. I have reported the linked in profile and bitbucket repo. TL;DR: Don't open take home challenges and grant it permissions, especially if it contains auto run noscripts... <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/Phantom569 (https://www.reddit.com/user/Phantom569)
