Perforator - cluster-wide continous profiling tool

keymapper: A cross-platform context-aware key remapper
I’m posting this mainly because I think it’s a particularly clever design for configuration of input remapping.

Also, it uses libinput on linux to make sure it works in all window managers / compositors / framebuffers. And it says it also works on an operating system I haven’t previously heard of called Windows.

Monorepo: How to vendor dependencies and contribute back upstream?**
If you have a subdirectory in your monorepo with a third party project, how do you

1. Keep pace with upstream
2. Maintain your own changes on top
3. Submit changes back to upstream

I’ve never worked in a monorepo, but I do have some experience doing radical surgery on git repositories with git-subtree and git filter-branch. These techniques seem like they’d be difficult to automate.

I spent most of 2024 writing a (n incomplete) book on software architecture. I learned a lot about DSL design, array languages, naming, notation, information architecture and of course normal architecture (also many other things).
