Project mention: How to Get a Unix-Like Terminal Environment in Windows and Visual Studio Code | dev.to | 2023-09-28
Assuming you already have Visual Studio Code installed, the first thing you'll want to do is Download Cmder. Extract the files to C:\cmder, or wherever you like.

What I often use to just get the full key paths is yq (https://github.com/mikefarah/yq), piping into grep when necessary
yq -o=props

InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

go-cloud
The Go Cloud Development Kit (Go CDK): A library and tools for open cloud development in Go.
Even when going multi-cloud you can employ different strategies. Vault is definitely one of them, but you can also use federation to exchange one cloud's credentials for another's, giving you the ability to centralize secrets in one of them. You can use a layer of abstraction like GoCloud [0]. You can also build for each cloud separately and decide either not to centralize secrets at all, or build some trivial bespoke tooling to synchronize some of them. I'm not endorsing any of the options, just pointing out that Vault isn't the only one.

SFTPGo
Fully featured and highly configurable SFTP server with optional HTTP/S, FTP/S and WebDAV support - S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob
Project mention: What you guys are hosting instead of Nextcloud? I'm sick of it. | /r/selfhosted | 2023-11-29EDIT: Thanks for the recommendations from all of you!! I've chose to use the below: - Files: sftpgo - Calendar: baikal - Notes: memos (But beware, it sends opt-out telemetry) - Network folder: webdav on sftpgo

Project mention: Quick file search and app launcher for Windows with community-made plugins | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-28

The Elixir programming language is no stranger to desktop applications as the language actually supports building them out of the box. It uses wxWidgets: a C++ library that lets developers create applications for Windows, macOS, Linux and other platforms with a single code base. But wxWidgets has a very complex API, and doesn’t solve issues that usually come with desktop applications around packaging.

I've also been enjoying building My First Game™ in Bevy using ECS. The community around Bevy really shines, but Flecs (https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs) is arguably a more mature, open-source ECS implementation. You don't get to write in Rust, though, which makes it less cool in my book :)
I'm not very proud of the code I've written because I've found writing a game to be much more confusing than building websites + backends, but, as the author notes, it certainly feels more elegant than OOP or globals given the context.
I'm building for WASM and Bevy's parallelism isn't supported in that context (yet? https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/4078), so the performance wins are just so-so. Sharing a thread with UI rendering suuucks.
If anyone wants to browse some code or ask questions, feel free! https://github.com/MeoMix/symbiants

Project mention: I reduced the size of my Docker image by 40% – Dockerizing shell scripts | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-03
COPY --from=ugit-ops /lib/ld-musl-* /lib/
No, what I'm saying is you're blanket copying fully different versions of common library files into the operating system lib folder as shown above, possibly breaking OS lib symlinks in the process for _current_ versions used in Alpine OS if they exist now or in the future, potentially destroying OS lib dependencies, and also overwriting the ones possibly included in the future by Alpine OS itself to get your statically copied versions of the various CLI tools to work.
That is _insanely_ shortsighted. There's a safe way to do that and then there is the way you did it. If you want to learn to do it right, look at how Exodus does it so that they don't destroy OS library dependency files in the process of making a binary able to be moved from one OS to another.

bdwgc
The Boehm-Demers-Weiser conservative C/C++ Garbage Collector (bdwgc, also known as bdw-gc, boehm-gc, libgc)
Boehm GC is mentioned in the article: https://github.com/ivmai/bdwgc

While the torrent client included in the owntinfoil zip is open source, the two .exe's included are not, and he's actually violating the open source license for https://github.com/picotorrent/picotorrent

ubicloud
Open, free, and portable cloud. Elastic compute, block storage (non replicated), virtual networking, managed Postgres, and IAM services in public beta.
-
singularity
Singularity has been renamed to Apptainer as part of us moving the project to the Linux Foundation. This repo has been persisted as a snapshot right before the changes.
-
There's also Picocrypt.

Linux has CPU-X which you can just get from releases built from the source right there for everyone to see. It might be worth asking if the dev would be interested in making a Windows version+release ever.

The installation is different from what you might be used to from your typical mod. Download dhewm3_1.5.2_win32.zip from the githup page, unzip it, then copy, as instructed by the WHAT_TO_DO.txt files in the base and d3xp directories of the unzipped mod the .pk4 files from the game directory over (d3xp is only there if you installed the Resurrection of Evil add-on first). You can then uninstall the game from Steam.
