C-compiler to compile TCC for live-bootstrap

In plain words

This is a C compiler designed to compile TCC (Tiny C Compiler) as part of the live-bootstrap project. It enables developers working on bootstrapping systems to build a functional C compiler from minimal dependencies. The tool is for systems programmers and those interested in creating reproducible, dependency-reduced software builds. It focuses on supporting the bootstrapping workflow where compilers must be built with minimal external tools.

  Talanoa▲340

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  22 GB of Hacker News in SQLite▲730

  Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite/wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it. Have Hacker News on your device. Go to this repo (https://github.com/DOSAYGO-STUDIO/HackerBook): you can download it. Big Query -> ETL -> npx serve docs - that's it. 20 years of HN arguments and beauty, can be yours forever. So they'll never die. Ever. It's the unkillable static archive of HN and it's…
