Send an email to [email protected] or [email protected]

This is a small service for poorly connected users who can access the web only in a limited way. You just send an email to "[email protected]" and get back the corresponding manual page in a nice HTML format. So if you want help on the branch command, just [email protected]. Your email address is not stored, no logs are kept.

In plain words

This service delivers Git manual pages via email for users with limited web access. Users send an email to a specific address corresponding to a Git command—such as [email protected]—and receive the relevant manual page in HTML format. The service stores no email addresses and keeps no logs, making it useful for those who need Git documentation through basic email-only connectivity.

    GAC is a tool I built to help users spend less time summing up what was done and more time building. It uses LLMs to generate contextual git commit messages from your code changes. And it can be a drop-in replacement for `git commit -m "..."`. Example: feat(auth): add OAuth2 integration with GitHub and Google - Implement OAuth2 authentication flow - Add provider configuration for GitHub and Google - Create callback handler for token exchange - Update login UI with social auth buttons Don't like it?

    How I built a self-driving (RC) car.▲300

    I have been taking Andrew Ng's Machine Learning course. The lecture module on Neural Networks ends with an intriguing video of the ALVINN autonomous car driving itself along normal roads at CMU in the mid 90s. I was inspired by that video to see what I could build myself. A link to my incomplete write up was posted a couple of weeks ago (ouch!) but I finally finished it and open sourced the code tonight (so you can build your own self driving car). What do you think? http://blog.davidsingleton.org/nnrccar https://github.com/dps/nnrccar
