“Orca is an esoteric programming language designed to quickly
create procedural sequencers […].
This application is not a synthesizer, but a flexible livecoding
environment capable of sending MIDI, OSC & UDP to your audio/visual
interfaces, like Ableton, Renoise, VCV Rack or SuperCollider.”
“Pilot is a UDP synthesizer designed to be controlled externally.
It was created as a companion application to the livecoding
environment ORCA.”
“a free and open-source cross-platform software modular synthesizer”
“Retrobatch is a node based (not the JS language) batch image
processor. A bit like Quartz Composer, and a bit like Audio
Hijack. But for images. Lots and lots of images (or maybe a few
or even one).”
“A general-purpose command-line fuzzy finder”. I use it for
switching between git branches.
“We built Scientist to fill in that missing piece and help test the
production data and behavior to ensure correctness. It works by
creating a lightweight abstraction called an experiment around the
code that is to be replaced. The original code — the control — is
delegated to by the experiment abstraction, and its result is
returned by the experiment. The rewritten code is added as a
candidate to be tried by the experiment at execution time. When the
experiment is called at runtime, both code paths are run (with the
order randomized to avoid ordering issues). The results of both the
control and candidate are compared and, if there are any differences
in that comparison, those are recorded. The duration of execution
for both code blocks is also recorded. Then the result of the
control code is returned from the experiment.”
“Replaces interactive SSH. Instant keystroke response, robust
roaming”. Be sure to check out the video.
“determines what the most important colors used in your image are,
and if one of them is a background color”
“allows managing files with git, without checking the file
contents into git”
I started using annex to keep my mp3s in sync after buying the
new laptop. So far, I can only complain about the installation
process (oh, the joys of Haskell). I use only the very basic
functionality, though.
Most of my music collection is still not on the new machine.
When I find that I miss some artist, I wake my old white MacBook
from sleep, type something like “play john5” in my Air’s terminal,
and get actual mp3s from white:~/Music/mp3/john5 rsynced over
wifi and opened in iTunes. Quite pleasant. :)
“Makes reading on the Web more enjoyable.”
“Manage ssh and GPG keys in a convenient and secure manner. […]
You only need to enter a passphrase once every time your local
machine is rebooted.”
