Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Ollama is now available on Windows in preview
But these are typically filling the usecases of productivity applications, not ‘engines’.
Microsoft Word doesn’t run its grammar checker as an external service and shunt JSON over a localhost socket to get spelling and style suggestions.
Photoshop doesn’t install a background service to host filters.
The closest pattern I can think of is the ‘language servers’ model used by IDEs to handle autosuggest - see https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/ - but the point of that is to enable many to many interop - multiple languages supporting multiple IDEs. Is that the expected usecase for local language assistants and image generators?

The Mechanics of mutable and immutable references in Rust
If you tried writing code like the one above, your Rust LSP should already be telling you that what you're doing is unacceptable:

A guide on Neovim's LSP client
A language server is an external program that follows the Language Server Protocol. The LSP specification defines what type of messages a language server can receive, and also how it should respond. The idea here is that any tool that follows the LSP specification can communicate with a language server.

The IDEs we had 30 years ago and we lost
> There's a strange dance of IDEs coming and going, with their idiosyncracies and partial plugins.
The Language Server Protocol [1] is the best thing to happen to text editors. Any editor that speaks it gets IDE features. Now if only they'd adopt the Debug Adapter Protocol [2]...

The More You Gno: Gno.land Monthly Updates - 6
The Gno Language Server (gnols) is an implementation of the Language Server Protocol (LSP) for the Gno programming language. It is similar to the equivalent “gopls” project for Go, as they can be plugged into your code editor through extensions and allow you to access handy features, such as autocompletion, formatting, and compile-time warnings/errors. Gnols makes writing code simpler, working with several editors to suit your preferences. To try it out, visit the CONTRIBUTING.md file, which contains instructions to get you started. Our current documentation targets Vim, Neovim, and SublimeText, but can likely be used with any editor that supports LSP. Feel free to contribute to improving Gnols and adding more features. It’s well-written, and simple to dive into the code and add more capabilities.

LSP could have been better
Honestly, you should read some of the docs [0] if these are the sorts of questions you're asking.

Show HN: Postgres Language Server
hey HN. this is a Language Server[0] designed specifically for Postgres. A language server adds features to IDEs (VSCode, NeoVim, etc) - features like auto-complete, go-to-definition, or documentation on hover, etc.
there have been previous some attempts at adding Postgres support to code editors. usually these attempts implement a generic SQL parser and then offer various "flavours" of SQL.
This attempt is different because it uses the actual Postgres parser to do the heavy-lifting. This is done via libg_query, an excellent C library for accessing the PostgreSQL parser outside of the server. We feel this is a better approach because it gives developers 100% confidence in the parser, and it allows us to keep up with the rapid development of Postgres.
this is still in early development, and mostly useful for testers/collaborators. the majority of work is still ahead, but we've verified that the approach works. we're making it public now so that we can develop it in the open with input from the community.
a lot of the credit belongs to pganalyze[1] for their work on libg_query, and to psteinroe (https://github.com/psteinroe) who the creator and maintainer of the LSP.

Nx Console gets Lit
The nxls is a language server based on the Language Server Protocol (LSP) and acts as the “brain” of Nx Console. It analyzes your Nx workspace and provides information on it, including code completion and more.

How to configure vim like an IDE
LSP stands for "Language Server Protocol", which defines how a language server and an editor (client) can communicate to provide code navigation, completion, etc. (source). Traditional IDE's would have something similar to this baked-in already, but proprietary to their software/language; whereas LSP is an open standard, so anything could implement it.

Open source versus Microsoft: The new rebellion begins
One of the things that comes to mind here is the fact that the default Python extension for VS Code is, perhaps surprisingly to many, not open source. https://github.com/microsoft/pylance-release
While it's possible to fork VS Code, it is not possible to fork VS Code and provide a seamless onramp towards a Python editing experience that is fully open source, because users are used to the nuances of the closed-source Pylance experience in VS Code proper. You could use the minified/compiled Pylance plugin in your fork, but you'd have no way to expand its capabilities to new hooks your fork provides. Microsoft's development process would always be able to move faster than a fork, because it could coordinate VS Code internal API development with its internal Pylance team, and could become incompatible with forks at any time.
It's worth re-reading the quote from J Allard in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguis... with this modern example in mind.
(Also worth mentioning https://github.com/detachhead/basedpyright?tab=readme-ov-fil... which is a heroic effort to derisk this, but it's an uphill battle for sure!)

Pylance is not working on my vscode
Anyone know how can we fix this issue if we build the vscode locally

VSCode adding exactly one space to all my new lines??
Do any of these issue tickets explain the behaviour you're seeing? https://github.com/microsoft/pylance-release/issues/4341, https://github.com/microsoft/pylance-release/issues/4071
- Pylance: String literal is unterminated
- What do you expect when renaming an import?

Writing Python like it's Rust
Maybe they "are the same thing" in terms of behavior (I don't know), but "A uses B" doesn't mean that "A is B".
One important difference in this case is that while "Pylance leverages Microsoft's open-source static type checking tool, Pyright" [1], Pylance itself is not open source. In fact, the license [2] restricts you to "use [...] the software only with [...] Microsoft products and services", which means that you are not allowed to use it with a non-Microsoft open source fork of VS Code, for example.
The license terms also say that by accepting the license, you agree that "The software may collect information about you and your use of the software, and send that to Microsoft" and that "You may opt-out of many of these scenarios, but not all".

Any must-have extensions for working with Python in VSCode/VSCodium?
There's this one: https://github.com/microsoft/pylance-release/issues/4174 (rules don't apply properly, and ovverrides don't work even after being set, this is especially for the more generic ones like )

MSFT is forcing Outlook and Teams to open links in Edge and IT admins are angry
The example is not .NET in general, but that specific event when Microsoft reneged on open development tooling[1]. For some people, that was the moment they stopped trusting "new Microsoft" to keep their word (though for me, it was when the Python language server was replaced with a DRM-locked, LSP-noncompliant one[2] a bit before that; unlike .NET hot reload, they didn't backtrack there). I can think the company makes great open .NET tools and at the same time not trust them to close it down on a whim.
Does anyone know where the open xlang reimplementation of MIDL went[3], by the way? (Unlike 1990s MIDL, you can't reimplement this one from the language grammar in the docs, because there is no language grammar in the docs.)
