Ask HN: Is there a general, multi-PL programming task dataset?
Hello!
Being a student interested in PL design, I have had this idea floating around for a while: the gist is finding out what programming languages LLMs might be the most proficient in, to study their design choices and syntactic features with the goal of designing the perfect language for LLMs. This is, of course, gimmicky, but I entertained the idea for a while as a fun afterschool project.
The challenge is: what would be the best way to evaluate programming performance _in specific languages_? There are two main hypotheses here:
1. There are intrinsic syntactic/structural features that the transformer architecture is uniquely able to parse/reproduce/understand best, leading to higher quality code generated. For example: Lisp dialects make parsing code structure and blocks very easy, so one could assume an LLM can "understand their code better" 2. There is so much Python/JS out there that the question isn't even worth asking, and the performance in those will beat whatever other language you throw at it. This is probably not as much of a point thanks to newer transformer architectures but the question is still up.
I suspect the answer can be made somewhat interesting by considering performance relative to language popularity, but the ground question is: is there a general dataset containing different programming challenges, of varying difficulty, in multiple languages, with standard solutions? I couldn't find anything when I looked around, but I might have missed something obvious. It wouldn't be impossible to build a simple website to crowdsource, but I'm thinking that if I missed something obvious I'd rather find out early than late. Also, if you have any input on the project itself, I'd love to hear your ideas!

Show HN: Interactive map of Palo Alto police record log PDFs
Got this idea when a landlord suggested I check the police logs after I asked about neighborhood safety when house hunting.
I built this for myself to easily look up an address and see nearby police events. The data covers incidents from February to April 2025.
Data Source: https://sourya.co/blog/2025-04-22-palo-alto-police-log-visua...
Source Code: https://github.com/ma08/palo_alto_police_log_analysis (lot of slop as it was vibecoded)

Show HN: TabTab – A keyboard-first browser workspace for tab hoarders
*Problem*: As a developer, I often juggle 50+ tabs across projects. Existing bookmark managers felt clunky, and tab groups required too many clicks.
*Solution*: TabTab replaces your new tab page with a grid-style dashboard. Key features: - Save all open tabs as a collection with one click (perfect for debugging sessions) - Self-hosted sync via GitHub Gist/WebDAV (no tracking, your data stays yours) - Keyboard shortcuts & drag-and-drop (demo video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQQEKbI9moc])
*Tech Stack*: Built with WXT (browser extension framework) + React + Tailwind. Cursor AI helped generate 40% of the UI code!
Try it: [Chrome](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/bplfdojoimpegfcgepl...) Feedback welcome! How do you manage your tabs?
