A native application (Windows, Linux, MacOS) for music transcription. It comes with time stretch and pitch shift as most of these softwares do, but it allows you to save loop regions and take notes. It's designed to be a practice sessi

Kinda OT: can anybody recognize the keyboard in the German keyboard shot? I have been looking for a similar ISO keyboard (with international layout) for a while

I have played with that idea for a while until I realized I was creating a poor man's web browser in the terminal. At that point I started wondering if converting my man folder to HTML and using lynx[1] wasn't a better idea. I end

Such a great read! Reminds me of the bootsector OS I made some time ago[^1] Maybe it's time to equip it with a C compiler... [1]: https://github.com/shikaan/osle

Shameless plug. I built a tool[1] to manage Keepass archives in the terminal which might scratch some of the itches I am reading here: it has a TUI, but can be piped into other commands too. [1]: https://github.com/shikaan&#

Exactly this. I have been planning on trying to glue up something with v86[1] as I did in OSle[2] but I did not get to it yet. In that case, everything would run locally and sandboxes, so you would not have to care. [1]: https://

Honestly, I made it up :) I thought about what would be the minimum I have to build in order to run some userland software that does "something". That to me looked like: spawn guest applications, make them persist something. With

Hey, thanks for your interest in this project! 3. The tty interrupt advances the cursor along with printing. So, once again, I do it to save on some instructions. In the first iterations I wanted to retain more control (by printing and movi

I would have assumed the same, but I haven't managed. On the other hand, I did not tinker too much with all these toggles; it's such a little amount of shared code (which is also partially different in some cases) that didn't

1. If you look through the commit history, you'll see that the first implementation was actually with Pascal strings. Printing with Pascal strings is actually shorter (you skip the null test, basically), but constructing Pascal strings

Hey, thanks for taking a look! On the former, I have no idea how to estimate BIOS functions size. Maybe I could just peek into an image and get a sense for it... On the latter, with a 16x increase in available space, I guess I would do a mu

I went back and forth about the file system and disk stuff a fair bunch, to be honest. Most of it, as you say, was mostly due to wrestling the space constraints. If one day I'll give in and take the shell out or go multi-stage, I will
