annoy
Approximate Nearest Neighbors in C++/Python optimized for memory usage and loading/saving to disk

sol2
Sol3 (sol2 v3.0) - a C++ <-> Lua API wrapper with advanced features and top notch performance - is here, and it's great! Documentation:
Project mention: CBN Changelog: December 3, 2022. Improved LUA support in progress! | reddit.com/r/cataclysmbn | 2022-12-03This version relies on a Lua C++ wrapper called sol2 to hide Lua stack management from the developer, so creating new bindings can be done by adding a few lines of human-readable C++. It still has to be done manually, but at least sol2 is able to automatically figure out types of objects being bound, so it's not much different from our de-/serialization code.

Project mention: What debugging/monitoring method do you use? Lately, I have been using the Saleae Logic Analyzer to monitor the signals exchanged among the boards of my embedded network. I find it really cool, but do you have any other recommendations? What do you use? | reddit.com/r/robotics | 2022-10-04
If you use ROS, you will have similar facilities with ROS bags and e.g. PlotJuggler. ROS bags are not as convenient to manipulate as MessagePack/JSON dictionaries, although they hold similar data, because the ecosystem is smaller (i.e. less people manipulating them and developing tools to manipulate them more efficiently).

Project mention: Generating vertices for non-basic blocks help (Beginner) | reddit.com/r/VoxelGameDev | 2022-08-22Another method I think I noticed (probably not, not really sure what I'm talking about) is from Hopson97's open-builder game open-builder/chunk_vertex.glsl at master · Hopson97/open-builder · GitHub where texture coords are stored in the vertex shader. Would the idea for other block types for the above method to have a 2d array of the other block types textures like doors etc? Not sure about this method cause doesn't this require a vertex buffer which the "figured out an optimization" guy says is slow. If so that doesn't seem very sustainable.
