Chez Scheme txtar port from Go
This is a loose port of https://golang.org/x/tools/txtar, which concatenates files together and allows for a top-level comment. The txtar format is specifically designed to be easy for humans to read and write by hand. It's perfect for test data. The library itself tries to follow scheme standards by depending on only SRFIs (and if you're new to scheme like me, SRFI stands for "Scheme Requests For Implementation," and it's like a standard library). I hope this is a helpful showcase of a scheme library! I'm also new to writing scheme, and if any experienced…
In plain words
Chez Scheme txtar port is a library that concatenates files together with an optional top-level comment, ported from Go's txtar tool. The txtar format prioritizes human readability and writability, making it suitable for test data. The library adheres to Scheme standards by relying exclusively on SRFI dependencies, designed for developers working with Scheme who need a straightforward way to manage structured text files.

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

I was at FB/Meta from late 2013 to early 2023, mostly working in the compiler/runtime spaces. I got hit in the spring 2023 layoff wave. I immediately started making games in my newfound free time (a lifelong interest, and I even worked in AA(A?) back ca. ~2000), and in October 2023 I stumbled upon the idea of a roguelike pachinko/plinko game inspired by Luck Be A Landlord. Things snowballed quickly, I started talking to publishers, then worked like crazy through all of 2024, almost the hardest I've ever worked in my career, and launched the game in December 2024. It's sold…

i wanted to change the habit of reaching for my phone in the morning and doomscrolling away an hour so i built an app to help me. now i have to literally touch grass before accessing my most distracting apps the app is built in swiftui, uses the screen time apis provided by apple and google vision to recognise grass or not i'd love to get your thoughts on the concept.
