An XML schema language that is easy to read and write and has superb tooling support. The Compact Syntax form is especially nice.
If you use a text editor with good XML support, having a schema around can boost the usability of a data file quite significantly, as it not only gives you static validity checking, but also autocompletion and automatic templates.
A Bazel-like reproducible build system optimized for cross-platform compatibility.
As an example of the cross-platform focus, it can produce Visual Studio project files on Windows.
WTF-8 is a generalization of UTF-8 that permits unpaired surrogate code points. It can be used to represent potentially ill-formed UTF-16, as used for path names on Microsoft Windows, for instance.
Takeaways:
The part on self-restraint and entitlement can also be flipped around: On a societal level, it is neither possible nor desirable to mandate good behavior.
A visual educational ARM assembly emulator built with JavaFX.
An introduction to Haskell for people who plan to read and review code rather than write it.
Null-modem emulator for Windows. Unfortunately, it requires activation of test signing for drivers, which is a security risk and the reason, why I wasn’t able to use it.
Wow. The FOSS implementation of the Exposure API has been released!
A free and open source software forge.
A library of text patching and diffing algorithms. Implementations in several languages including C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, and Objective-C.
In other words, if you hire an economist, they are as likely as anyone to argue not so much based on their economic education but rather based on their social standing and preexisting political biases.
A GNU/Linux distribution with atomic updates.
A Kubernetes distribution.
Via Rechtsbelehrung.
A tool to work with collections of Git repositories that comprise larger workspaces. Works especially well with Gerrit and makes submitting change sets for review easy.
A capability-based operating system from Google. (Git, change sets in review)
A kernel-space Linux null-modem emulator.
A set of opinionated plugins that make Gradle more like Maven, i.e. more rigidly structured and based on more uniform conventions.
A Quarkus extension for structured logging with JSON output.
Timing leak protection for Rust. For constant-time cryptography.
An HTTP server that can mock upstream services in integration tests. Has client libraries for JavaScript (browser and Node.js) and Java (including a JUnit5 extension).
A self-hosted Maven repository server. Small and light on resource use.
An introduction to the dark art of unsafe Rust.
