Grayjay is not open source and FUTO is run by a bunch of questionable techbros.

Ever heard of self-contained deployments or native AOT? No separate runtime install needed.

Unsafe C# and Span<T> make it viable for a lot of low level code as well. You can get really close to C or Rust performance with these features.

Most screws on bicycles are hexagon.

If its really a problem consider celebrating your name day instead, or just move your birthday into the summer and tell everybody you did it because of the weather.

You didn’t need to post that.

Yes those are too old. I think it must have been something released near 1998. The game I remember was in a cartoon style and not as pixelated. It might have been something only released in German as well.

Du mein Freund nennst ein Quadrat einen Würfel.

No, unfortunately that’s not it.

There was a fantasy point and click adventure on the school PCs about two lost goblin or gnome children. I think it was some sort of learning game released during the 90s. The only things that I clearly remember are a mini game about getting red and yellow llamas across a bridge with a passing point, and a labyrinth where you had to solve riddles. Never figured out what it was.

You could take a look at these courses for ASP.NET or Spring if you are looking for something that isn’t JavaScript.

You could take a look at the various projects related to plaintext accounting . Personally, I like hledger.

C is the lingua franca of computing, having a basic understanding of it is in my opinion an essential skill. So I would disregard the recommendations of learning Zig or Rust for now. These languages have their place but they aren’t as entrenched and universal as C. To learn C you could try a few of the exercises on the exercism C learning track. Another good project, to learn a new programming languages in general, is building a calculator that parses an expression like 2 + 3 / (5 - 1) and outputs the result while respecting the correct order of operations.

Es wäre schon ziemlich lustig wenn ausgerechnet Roblox der Tropfen war der das Fass zum überlaufen gebracht hat.

I am used to the uninformed complaining about Rust but suggesting JAI of all things as an alternative is new.

Technically win32 is cross-platform if you are using wine…

I don’t think there are any open source apps exactly like this yet. You could try this app in combination with a book about mental math tricks.

See Wikipedia:

The Nostr protocol was first written in 2020 by a Brazilian open source developer known by the pseudonym “fiatjaf” as a response to perceived moderation issues on Twitter, as well as both technical and cultural disagreements with other protocols such as ActivityPub and Secure Scuttlebutt.

Looks like it was never about function or protocol in the first place.

In 2024, in an article reporting on the project’s funding, Business Insider claimed to have identified fiatjaf, and had found two websites previously published by this person to disseminate the work of Olavo de Carvalho, a far-right conspiracy theorist.

Sounds lovely and taking one look at a random relay confirms this. The only things discussed there are Bitcoin, “Women-are-evil-because-they-dont-sex-me” and some AI bullshit.

Funnily enough, the decree banning the use of Schwabacher Judenlettern (“Jew-letters of Schwabach”) went out using a Nazi party letter head that was printed in a Fraktur typeface.
