I was really impressed with Concurrent Ruby (https://github.com/ruby-concurrency/concurrent-ruby https://github.com/ruby-concurrency/concurrent-ruby). OpenSC2K is also really impressive (https://github.com/rage8885/OpenSC2K https://github.com/rage8885/OpenSC2K).

Nvc, a vhdl simulator written in C. I can't wait to spend some time with it, and dream of throwing Modelsim/Questasim in the trash.
- jhallenworld 8y ago
  I love iVerilog, so I sure hope this is developed enough before I'm forced to use VHDL for a project.

Valhalla is an open-source routing engine, like for from traveling from point A to point B. I think Tesla uses it as the basis for their in-car navigation system. It produces routes very quickly and has a pretty robust costing model (cars can travel on different roads from bikes, bikes can travel different places than pedestrians, right turns are easier than left turns, sharp left turns are worse than slight left turns, etc). It can produce turn-by-turn instructions and gpx output. It also does map matching pretty well (converting messy GPS data to an actual snapped-to-streets path), traveling salesman solutions and a few other things.

Ripgrep (https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep) It's so good and fast that it quickly has become an essential tool in my workflow.

  Me too! This github repo, along with r/selfhosted [0] and this [1] are everything you'd need. I've been keeping track [2] of the things I've had to do to whenever I used to switch my VPS providers. Its not perfect - I don't restrict ssh, nor do I restrict the database access, but I mention that, and you can choose not to do that.

    I'm wondering - why bother with Zsh? Modern Bash is quite advanced - is there any killer feature worth having it installed on all machines? I remember trying it out 10 years ago and it was always kind of "well, that features are nice to have" - but it turned out I rarely used them in the end.
    - craftyguy 8y ago
      Lazy completion is nice, e.g. type: 'ls /u/s/i' and tab could expand to '/usr/share/icons'
      - dvfjsdhgfv 8y ago
        Mmkay, that's two tabs less than in Bash, I'm not sold that.
        Yetanfou 8y ago
        Not to mention that /u/s/i is not discoverable and as such something else to remember while /u <tab> /s <tab> (will expand to /usr/sbin /usr/share /usr/src so /sh <tab> is better) /i <tab> is. Tools which are not omni-present yet claim to save time by making the user remember tool-specific syntax are often not worth the effort of learning that syntax unless the savings in time or effort are substantial - in which case the tool would probably be more wide-spread to begin with.

Mine would have to be Vesper Framework [0] and TypeORM [1]. They both appear to be mainly developed by pleerock [2] and both appear to be in active development. I've been writing a bunch of TypeScript (Angular 5) at work and we have been testing GraphQL as well so this is just combination of a lot of tech I really like to work with. I have a project for my dad that I'm building out in Vesper for the backend and I might just use Ionic (as a PWA) with TypeORM so I can share all my entities and types between the two projects. I understand that the combination of all these technologies (NodeJS/TypeScript/Angular/GraphQL/EntityObject) is a little niche but I've had a blast working on it and it has a good amount of overlap with my job (save for our backend being java) so it's like killing 2 birds with 1 stone.
