Favorite hidden gem library?
Javet is one of a kind. No other library like it out there today. Not widely known yet as its kinda new.

What are your thoughts on Java Isolates on GraalVM?
If you want to embed a V8 instance in Java, check out Javet, it uses less memory and will work in native graalvm images. Also allows you to embed a NodeJS instance where you can use NodeJS specific libraries.

A curated list of awesome frameworks, libraries and software for the Java programming language
They should add a "scripting" section. There's cool new projects being started in this area like Javet which allows you to embed Node.js and a standalone V8 too. Nashorn and Rhino could be added to that list too despite not being so new.

Parsing an Undocumented File Format
- ImHex [2], which has a pattern language [3] which allows parsing, and it seems more powerful than what Kaitai offers. I stumbled upon some limitations with it but it was still useful.

Hacking the LG Monitor's EDID
An EDID override like this would be helpful for macOS as well, where the monitors swapping around after standby is a real annoyance [0] [1]
EDID rewrites are 99% of the time blocked by the monitor firmware: https://notes.alinpanaitiu.com/Decoding-monitor-EDID-on-macO...
By the way, one helpful tool that helped me navigate the EDID dump was Kaitai Struct [2]. It shows a side by side view with the hex view and the EDID structure, and it highlights the hex values in real time as you navigate the structure. Unfortunately [3] it doesn't support the extension blocks that the author needs.
