Just with a pencil and paper
Linked article covers something that’s always been a matter of some amusing fascination for me. Which is how QR codes work, and how there are apparently variations in the basic look which continue working with the same algorithms.
How to lovingly handcraft your own git repositories
Linked is a madman’s tour of git’s persistent data structures. Yes, crazy, but pretty amazing. They use not-simple shall commands to create all the bits by hand. If you follow along you will know more than any of your friends how git work#!

Midnight Commander Development Center
I always loved Norton Commander back in the old days before guis! I have to try this on my Ubuntu system, or other character based environments.
Learn professional robotics basics hands-on by building a little Arduino and ROS2 -compatible robot. Maker's Pet Mini robot consists of a 120mm round base, two N20 motors (differential drive), a 360° scanning 2D LiDAR distance sensor, a motor driver board and an ESP32 development board. The Mini robot comes with step-by-step "from-scratch" assembly, setup, bring-up, operation instruction videos
Linked is a very nice beginner ROS2 robot. Amazingly inexpensive. 1/4 the price of a turtlebot. I am ordering one to see how it is!
How to think about the work
Linked is a touching and insightful letter from the great Richard Feynman to a student and colleague.
Best stuff as recommended by cool tools mailing lists

Application for creating 3D printable terrain models
Linked is a handy (specialized) tool for making 3d models from Map terrain. If you don't need it you don't need it!
I have met a lot of developers in my life.
Late…
Linked is a fun article, mostly because I agree with just about all the points made!
Just a small tool to help me (and you but without any guaranty) to create command alias and sub-aliases (multi word alias) - adoy/cmdalias
Linked is not a recommendation - as I have not tried it. But I've been typing lots of repetitive commands the last few days and I got to thinking that having a way to have aliases which were more than a single word would make them easier to remember and more flexible. This is one that I found
Run local LLMs inside your browser. Contribute to sauravpanda/BrowserAI development by creating an account on GitHub.
This could be important. Linked is a tool that allows you to run an LLM locally in your browser. Why is that interesting? After all you can already run it locally, just on your laptop. I think, if this thing works, one can provide LLM features as part of a SaS app, while guaranteeing your users…
Sync, search and backup shell history with Atuin
Linked is a linux-friendly command history editor. I needed one and I grabbed the first one I saw. But I am feeling like it's too heavy weight.

Linked is a big ole catalog of all the different visualization tools, packages and frameworks in python. Handy resource if you are experiencing analysis paralysis!
Music programming in the browser
Linked is a tool for writing electronic sounding music 5hrough a cryptic language, right in the browser. It reminds me of SonicPi except with a far worse syntax. But it runs in the browser which is pretty cool!
Linked is (one of many I am sure) tool that creates pretty amazing images from prompts. And there's a pretty capable free tier!
Discover essential tips and tricks to boost your productivity with Ruby on Rails console commands and features.
Linked is a wonderful cheat sheet or grab bag of Rails console commands. I knew many but not all of them. Good reminders.
RoboGrok is a complete hands-on university-level robotics course covering forward and inverse kinematics (Denavit-Hartenberg), sensors, computer vision (machine vision), Artificial Intelligence, and motion control.
Linked is a comprehensive course in robotics. All free. Pretty well known and respected. Worth a look!
👻 Ghostty is a fast, feature-rich, and cross-platform terminal emulator that uses platform-native UI and GPU acceleration. - ghostty-org/ghostty
Linked is a new terminal emulator. What interests me is that it is said to be embeddable because it is distributed also as a library with well defined apis.
A fast and efficient type assistant for Python, including tensor shape inference - RightTyper/RightTyper
Linked is Python RIghtTyper which sounds great... if it works. It will analyze the type hints in your python (if any) and offers to gerentate them for you. Something like that. Many ways in which that might not go right but I read a very positive overview of it!
