Parses a subset of LaTeX into an AST and converts it into XML or any of a number of output formats (EPUB, MathML, etc.).

To be honest, I am a bit disappointed that it is necessary to use a separate tool to do this in the first place.

Say you want to write a book and publish it in both printed and ebook form and ideally also have a customizable, stylable web version of it with good navigation and accessibility, what format are you supposed to write it in if not LaTeX? DocBook? AsciiDoc? Scribble?

A CI server for Nix builds. Optimized to take advantage of Nix’s reproducible builds by integrating a Nix store as a build cache.

A C library that you can use to build native binaries that are portable between Linux, macOS, various BSDs, and Windows. An impressive hack.

Integrates Rust into CMake projects. Useful for when you’ve got an existing C++ project that you want to add some Rust code to.

A binary cache for Nix builds. Makes use of Nix’s reproducible and pure nature to share build artifacts between yourself and your colleagues and even your CI, too.

A JavaFX theme based on Microsoft’s Metro design (or Fluent Design System as they call it nowadays).

If you plan to check out the GitHub repo, note that you have to switch to the 11 branch unless you are still on Java 8.

A Raspberry Pi I/O library for Java.

For when your JBoss application has to tap GPIO pins.

Static pods are pods that are not managed by an API server, but directly by a Kubelet (the thing that represents a node in a Kubernetes cluster). They are used to run the Kubernetes control plane in kubeadm-managed clusters and to run pods on devices that may not be connected to an API server at all times, such as IoT devices.

The Kubelet mirrors static pods as mirror pods on the API server when one is available. That’s why you can see control plane pods in the kube-system namespace if you are on a kubeadm-managed cluster. You cannot, however, use the mirror pods to control the life cycle of the mirrored static pods – they are really just mirror images of the real things, which the cluster has no control over.

Type-safe, LINQ-style queries for JPA. A nice alternative to the JPA Criteria API.

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.
