#22https://github.com/BespokeSynth/BespokeSynth
BespokeSynth takes the concept of a modular synthesizer and expands it so that the application is less just a synth and more a complete modular DAW. I've used it to create MIDI/audio workflows that I couldn't get exactly the way I wanted in Ableton or FL Studio. It also has a module for doing livecoded audio processing in Python that I'm just starting to scratch the surface of.

#23ImHex “A Hex Editor for Reverse Engineers, Programmers and people who value their retinas when working at 3 AM.” I actually used it not too long ago to inspect why a mp4 file wasn’t valid. The pattern language that they have is quite nice and having sections of the hex highlighted and being able to see what structures they represent and what data was on those structures was very useful! https://github.com/WerWolv/ImH…
Can confirm. ImHex is an amazing tool for a cyber analyst because it also supports yara rulesets, so you can quickly iterate and try out whether the malware was or will be detected. And it even supports capstone to disassemble the binary, while you debug the code and edit the yara rule!
Combined with ghidra, these are pretty much the most valueable tools in my day job.
(with golang, vim, arch etc of course)

#24https://tdb.samba.org/
Trivial key/data database with great performance and robustness. Embedded in surprising places (e2fsck!) and my go-to unless I need Sqlite3.

I’ve posted this before but I love it so much I gotta do it again.
You plug in a piece of ASM from a video game ROM, and it gives you a first pass decompilation. On the left hand side you can edit this decompilation, and on the right there’s a side-by-side diff of the target ASM and what your source currently compiles to. It’s slightly gamified, looks great, is super easy to fork/share, and can be pretty addicting once you get into it. Super cool community.

#27Dragonfly allows for OS interaction with a various recognition engine. A backbone for free and open source accessibility projects. Using it you can create scripts, commands, macros in Python.

What I love about qcad is how keyboard-driven it is. Are there other cad programs that I can operate mostly by typing instead of clicking?

#30Orange Data Mining: https://orangedatamining.com/
A visual programming tool for machine learning and data visualization. It has great potential for teaching these concepts in the classroom.
