Finally done with a series of blog posts about re-creating classical programming langauges in 50 lines of code each: https://github.com/zserge/tinylangs It was a great little weekend project that still took much longer than I expected #tinycode #programming #lisp #basic #apl #pascal #forth

TIL that rhymezone.com is all written in AWK and works just fine since 1996. AWK is truly the most underappreciated UNIX tool/language.

A little [tab](https://github.com/zserge/tab/) utility is mostly complete! Guitar, ukulele, cigar box guitar, diddley bow tabs, also recorders, folk whistles, ocarinas, native american flutes, trumpets, saxophones, keyboards and Jianpu are all supported. Converted some songs from the Real Book into tabs, feels great to be able play a tune from the first attempt. Perhaps it's time to make the first stable release. #music #minimal #terminal #cli

As a self-taught music enthusiast I like exploring/collecting new instruments. Apart from an obvious guitar+piano I'm surrounded with all sorts of string instruments, various flutes, ocarinas, kalimbas, a sax, and a trumpet. It's difficult to memorise the fingerings for all of them, so I made a simple CLI utility that converts ABC notation into tabs. https://github.com/zserge/tab/ #music #musicians #tinwhistle #flute #guitar

And it even runs some Apple 1 tapes and some BASIC code! #retrocomputing Still a few glitches to catch but it's a good getaway from daily "useful" programming.

"This bird is no more! He has ceased to be! He's expired and gone to meet his maker! He's a stiff! Bereft of life, he rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed him to the perch he'd be pushing up the daisies! His metabolic processes are now history! He's off the twig! He's kicked the bucket, He's shuffled off his mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! THIS IS AN X-BIRD!!"

On a somewhat nostalgic wave I remembered of RetroBSD - a lightweight UNIX-like OS, inspired by BSD2.11 (yes, the one from '91) for 8-bit and 16-bit MCUs.
Even though the development seems to have stopped, it still could serve as a source of wisdom and inspiration to some C programmers today: https://github.com/RetroBSD/retrobsd

Would be really nice to see something small and simple like that ported to ESP32 or RISCV. #retrocomputing #programming #embedded #iot

I like that the MVP demo shows a large, famous C codebase (ffmpeg). It really keeps me thinking that Zig could become "a better C". #zig #programming

Does anyone have a script to install a dev mastodon instance? Everything I found so far seems to target mastodon V2 or older. And HEAD revision fails to connect to this. I really wish this was a single binary zero dependently software. #mastodon #docker
