feathers-chat-react by Ciro Santilli 40 Updated 2025-07-16
Last updated 2018 as of 2021, but still just worked.
Also uses webpack which is fantastic.
Gotta run github.com/feathersjs/feathers-chat first: github.com/feathersjs-ecosystem/feathers-chat-react/issues/5, then it worked:
git clone https://github.com/feathersjs/feathers-chat
cd feathers-chat
git checkout fd729a47c57f9e6170cc1fa23cee0c84a004feb5
npm install
npm start
and on the other terminal:
git clone https://github.com/feathersjs-ecosystem/feathers-chat-react
cd feathers-chat-react
git checkout 36d56cbe80bbd5596f6a108b1de9db343b33dac3
npm install
npm start
then visit localhost:3000/ and you can create an account and login, tested on Ubuntu 20.10. Data is stored on persistently.
TODO how to merge those two repos into a single repo.
If you disable JavaScript on Chromium, it stops working completely. There is a section on how to solve that at: docs.feathersjs.com/cookbook/express/view-engine.html but it does not cover React specifically. Codaisseur/feathersjs-react-redux-ssr might be good to look into.

Run Zephyr on QEMU by Ciro Santilli 40 Updated 2025-07-26
Real hardware is for newbs. Real hardware is for newbs.
Tested on Ubuntu 23.10 we approximately follow instructions from: docs.zephyrproject.org/3.4.0/develop/getting_started/index.html stopping before the "Flash the sample" section, as we don't flash QEMU. We just run it.
sudo apt install --no-install-recommends git cmake ninja-build gperf \
  ccache dfu-util device-tree-compiler wget \
  python3-dev python3-pip python3-setuptools python3-tk python3-wheel xz-utils file \
  make gcc gcc-multilib g++-multilib libsdl2-dev libmagic1 python3-pyelftools
python3 -m venv ~/zephyrproject/.venv
source ~/zephyrproject/.venv/bin/activate
pip install west
west init ~/zephyrproject
cd ~/zephyrproject
west update
west zephyr-export
cd ~
wget https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/sdk-ng/releases/download/v0.16.1/zephyr-sdk-0.16.1_linux-x86_64.tar.xz
tar xvf zephyr-sdk-0.16.1_linux-x86_64.tar.xz
cd zephyr-sdk-0.16.1
./setup.sh
The installation procedure install all compiler toolchains for us, so we can then basically compile for any target. It also fetches the latest Git source code of Zephyr under:
~/zephyrproject/zephyr
The "most default" blinky hello world example which blinks an LED is a bit useless for us because QEMU doesn't have LEDs, so instead we are going to use one of the UART examples which will print characters we can see on QEMU stdout.
Let's start with the hello world example on an x86 target:
cd ~/zephyrproject/zephyr
west build -b qemu_x86 samples/hello_world -t run
and it outputs:
Hello World! qemu_x86
The qemu_x64 on the output comes from the CONFIG_BOARD macro github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/blob/c15ff103001899ba0321b2c38013d1008584edc0/samples/hello_world/src/main.c#L11
#include <zephyr/kernel.h>

int main(void)
{
	printk("Hello World! %s\n", CONFIG_BOARD);
	return 0;
}
You can also first cd into the directory that you want to build in to avoid typing samples/hello_world all the time:
cd ~/zephyrproject/zephyr/samples/hello_world
zephyr west build -b qemu_x86 -t run
You can also build and run separately with:
west build -b qemu_x86
west build -t run
Another important option is:
west build -t menuconfig
But note that it does not modify your prj.conf automatically for you.
Let's try on another target:
rm -rf build
zephyr west build -b qemu_cortex_a53 -t run
and same output, but on a completely different board! The qemu_cortex_a53 board is documented at: docs.zephyrproject.org/3.4.0/boards/arm64/qemu_cortex_a53/doc/index.html
The list of all examples can be seen under:
ls ~/zephyrproject/zephyr/samples
which for example contains:
zephyrproject/zephyr/samples/hello_world
So run another sample simply select it, e.g. to run zephyrproject/zephyr/samples/synchronization:
west build -b qemu_cortex_a53 samples/synchronization -t run
Snap (package manager) by Ciro Santilli 40 Updated 2025-07-16
merlijn.sebrechts.be/blog/2020-08-02-why-one-snap-store/ has some very good comments on how snap is more closed than Flatpak.
Snap's permission system is extremely annoying, notably restricting access to home files. They need a popup that says "permission required by app, accept?" urgently!!!

899 USD as of 2022, takes a year to ship as they gather up a lot of orders before producing.
Sounds so cool, especially the multi functionality. Shame so expensive.
ELF is the dominating file format for Linux. It competes with Mach-O for OS X and PE for Windows.
ELF supersedes .coff, which supersedes a.out.

An atomic formula, in the context of formal logic and mathematical logic, is a basic type of formula that expresses a simple statement or proposition about a specific relation or property without any logical connectives (such as AND, OR, NOT, etc.). An atomic formula typically consists of: 1. **Predicate Symbols**: These are symbols that represent properties or relations.

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.

    You can publish local OurBigBook lightweight markup files to either https://OurBigBook.com or as a static website
