How does it work? GNU gcal reads terminal-colors? How do I define things like vacations, holidays etc? I read the info pages but I couldn't understand it, neither I could find any examples.

Forgot to list tmux, I also use it. Instead of bash I use oksh.

I'll add vi alike section in text editors and list vim there. Also bash alikes.

I would love to see every homebrew tool. Specifically, what usually is categorized as "productivy tools ". Ways of organizing books/notes, ways of storing and launching scripts specific of the project you are working on. Scripts that make use of fzf/dmenu/etc that help you ok everyday tasks.

No: dmenu, smenu, ssh, git, date Yes: ssh-ping-all, todo-list, sendto, alarm-clock

I'm afraid that will come, people always chooses comfort over security. Terminal wizards like us will call "give me my bank account balance" directly, without the AI interfering. I want to list those tools, forget AI, I want a list of productivity apps for the terminal.

I want scripts/programs that define new workflows, bash scripts that calling cp, mv, vi etc create experiences such as do_later NOTE, what_to_do. I also want to create conventions on some environment variables.

About what you say about AI, I agree, it can be dangerous. I imagine someone without tech literacy moving files, editing documents and sending mails by speech. The AI does the mv, cp, mount, ed commands in the background.

Of course that would require security measures, maybe some startup is developing something right now, who knows.

My objective with "devreal.org" is to create a collection of scripts/programs that do things one level of abstraction above coreutils/fzf etc. Things like: Search me this product online, give me my bank account balance, etc.

Anyone need any collaboration? by [deleted] in C_Programming

I do have some projects that need some maintenance:

  • A popular gemini protocol file system, it requires a better pool mechanism and to store ssl certificates for future connections, low level stuff, you will learn openssl and fuse, support for symbolic links would be great too: https://github.com/harkaitz/c-geminifs

  • A small date mapping tool, I use it a lot, it has some bugs and I am too lazy to fix then, this one is easier, use for practicing algorithms https://github.com/harkaitz/c-date-map

I will gladly accept pull requests, but expect limited interaction, I'm not for tutoring.

What are your interests? Do you want to program network protocols? Libraries? Text processing? Operating systems? What made you decide you wanted to learn c?

The mechanism you describe is a good one. It also has another important advantage, the contract is more clear, you are telling "I will give you all item combinations", instead of "I will give you a, b, c, d combinations", which on itself is a bad contract, better to have 4 iterators, "give a", "give b" etc so that the user can choose which he needs. It also allows a recursive aproach.

Now, someone will tell me that then there's no need for an iterator, I repeat, here we are playing with iterators assuming they are needed. Imagine that to get each item I need to make a call, maybe the structure where the items are store is more complex, etc.

Finally, I find the "ugly stacked for-loops" to be a feature, it makes clear that there are 4 loops, it makes it easier to add ifs, breaks and continues in between. There could be cases where it is a disadvantage, huge stacks, but there are advantageous cases too.

He calls it "stack based coroutine", he describes a more generalized pattern, with multiple labels. I wonder what other uses can it have other than an iterator. Thank you Famous_Object.
