    Do I miss something? The site only shows a stream but nothing to describe or show the project.

    For personal projects: GIT barebone repositories + Wireguard to access them from all my devices. OSS work is mirrored to Codeberg and SourceHut. For actions I try to make sure that…

    That was a nice read. I didn't know there were vector graphics in these systems. Found Canadian description of the Telidon "Picture Description Instructions (PDI)" https://publicat…

    The Matter specification has a similar touch. The devil is in the details and due clever marketing people don't understand what they are praising. The real problem here is people w…

    After a long period of rejecting CMake for "simple" build.sh and Makefile projects, nowadays CMake is my goto choice. Top features: - supports all kinds of compilers, even Watcom f…

    Interesting, would be cool to see that applied to a real world rust program. Today I got rid of libc on the Windows version of a commandline tool to flash firmware via USB, which f…

    I've made a JSON parser which works like this too. No dynamic memory allocations, similar to the JSMN parser but stricter to the specification. Always nice to be in control over me…

    The video shows Sutherlands Sketchpad from 1963, I highly recommend looking in the related thesis for more details on how it works. Technical report of the thesis: https://www.cl.c…

    I'd love to have him in a team. He truly cares exactly how code works and analyzes/fuzzes the hell out of everything. I don't agree with all stylistic choices in his code, but the …

    I've recently compiled my JSON parser with Borland Turbo C compiler (from 1989) on FreeDOS. It feels good to see the code builds with compilers covering 34 years. ANSI C is still r…
