Vibe coding has also taken the fun out of sharing projects - reddit and other forums are now absolutely flooded with vibe coded slop to the point where they have had to limit all submissions.

An experimental Lisp interpreter written in C++ with a focus on shell scripting. It lets you combine the expressive power of Lisp with the practicality of the Unix shell: you can run commands, capture output, pipe between processes, and still use Lisp syntax for logic and structure. Think of it as writing your shell scripts in Lisp instead of Bash.

I worked at a company that heavily used M4 for generating header files and I hated it. The syntax is just awful.

What does this do? It should really be explained on the site.

But isn't this just about compiling the system? Not really 'building', ie programming a operating system.

Wow, didn't expect there to be so many notes.

One thing that really annoys me is youtube translating video titles - why would I ever want the title of an english language video to be translated?

This reminds me of that one talk at a german hacker conference (CCC) about xerox printers inserting false numbers into scans

No this is not true. There was an election among party members, that was with around 147000 people. This election apparently worked. It was the subsequent election among the party functionaries (601 people) that failed due to someone not being able to do 4th grade math.

Very cool, great work.

I always wonder how much these new C standards use, as C is now mostly used in areas where one is severely limited when it comes to compiler choice. Where I work, we use GCC 6.2 and iso9899:1990 (C90). If we were able to use a modern compiler, we would probably just use C++.

Looks very interesting, the autopilot code looks especially interesting to me.

there is a great talk about this from the guy that found it:

it's in german though...

You are right, the ailerons are really in front of the wings, which if of course wrong. I will update this and add some info on the coordinate system!

How to create simple but realistic looking flight simulation from scratch with C++.

Would be nice if you could talk about the problems you had with git and how jamsync solves them.

Well, you are going to have a hard time being more in control, unless you invest a significant amount of time and effort to write the app yourself.

The only time?

Looks like it's been hugged to death...

I don't get why anybody would want a json feed. RSS/Atom are already simple to the point of being trivial, so why introduce more standards?

State machines, I love how you can describe a problem with a nice diagram. They are used extensively where I work (embedded software).

Isn't this just survivor bias though? You only hear from those that fail to read and act on the error message.

I noticed there have recently been a lot of articles about raytracing, has anybody else noticed this?

This mindset is exactly why we all have to suffer with slugish electron apps and bloated websites instead of using fast, native apps written in something like Qt.

I use a static site generator, a vps and a git post-receive hook to build and deploy my site. Does not require any third-party providers (apart from the vps) and takes about 15 minutes to setup.

I love how the two top comments on this post are "It's more complicated" and "It's much simpler".

This is hilarious. The author even explains the law concerning such streams:

A private citizen can at most pay a 150€ fine as well as 10 to 15€ for the film itself.

Considering how unlikely you are to be found out this is as close to advertising illegal streams as you can get.

I visited the documentation site on a slow mobile connection and it took a long time and even a refresh to load. This seems to be a bad way of doing something that has been solved by static site generators for a long time.
