Text-mode interface for git

After some more noodling with the #solaris kernel driver, behold the (as far as I am aware) only third-party #sunpci client program. (This still uses the Solaris kernel driver)
My program currently "emulates" the VGA text mode using #ncurses (poorly) but this makes development a lot faster!
Next up is the block device emulation, then I should be able to boot DOS on this entirely! (without graphics, obviously... But sixels... maybe? 😅 )

I have been learning how to control the console with c++ in class. I hate it. It's so hard. Like, html just works and is easier, why not learning that?? CSS is cool, Qt has something similar to CSS i guess
I just dont like things not being cross compatible between different OS.
Now i just discovered ncurses, life is paradise now xd
I am just starting but feel like i can now create utlra cool UIs with it
It is so way easier to write that than to write with the teachers library that only works on windows
For now, it only works on linux, but it is not that hard to make it portable apparently

Мой первый pet-проект: процесс-менеджер synd3
Всем привет! Пишу этот пост, чтобы поделиться своим опытом и получить критику или советы от людей с большим опытом. Мне 22 года, я из Латвии. По образованию я судовой механик, но уже около 4 лет увлекаюсь программированием. Долгое время это оставалось хобби: пробовал сайты, простые игры — но они не приносили настоящего удовольствия. Я считал, что в программировании нужно было разбираться ещё со школы, и долго не верил, что могу найти себя в этой сфере. Переломный момент наступил, когда я заинтересовался системным программированием. Каждый раз, когда узнаю, как работает низкоуровневая часть ОС, у меня будто открывается новый мир. Особенно зацепила тема процессорного планирования: все говорят «железо, CPU, видеокарта», но на практике даже реализация планировщика процессов может заметно влиять на производительность.

#neoleo : your #spreadsheet can't do this!
neoleo is a terminal spreadsheet for Linux. It is based on GNU oleo, but has been significantly changed since then.
I have been experimenting with trying to make a spreadsheet that adheres to the Unix philosophy. In this video I show you how neoleo can be used as process viewer. Let's see Excel or LibreOffice do that!
So I was sick today and needed to not do real work, so I resurrected an old tui based music player that I had not touched since 2010 (and it got it's start in 1997) .... and added some nice to have quality of life things, like better unicode support, sqlite databases instead of mmap files, etc....
I have tons of things to fix still.

Ncurses SIP Messages flow viewer

Game Of Life seems to be a good thing to implement to prove my ncurses app
framework works OK.
#Ncurses #C #Curses
framework works OK.
#Ncurses #C #Curses
This might (and does to me) seem obvious in hindsight.
But learning to program in #C and learning #ncurses AND
using #libevent made it not obvious.
Like I am refactoring constantly in this state of learning and
programming. I build up working code, and then see some
bad patterns and throw whole sections away and re-work them.
So I was at a place where the other stuff was relatively organized
and I liked how the app was working, but the screen was flickering.
And IME so far ncurses WINDOW(s) are not localized enough to
ameliorate that. To be clear I was only clearing my main WINDOW,
but the whole screen would flicker. That is why I am leaning towards
just not using clear and/or minimizing it.
It's also interesting too that I use tmux.
tmux also uses libevent and ncurses? but doesn't flicker.
But I am not comparing what I am doing to tmux :)
It's just interesting.

My #ncurses programming tips number 2.
Don't use clear/erase unless you really need to.
Like try to not even use it.
I am doing event driven ncurses program.
I am using the react/elm idea of having state updates
be separate from drawing the screen. I like this mental
model. It seems like #curses was more designed for
immediate display of directly what you are doing.
I had added wclear to my main drawing event, because I wanted
to be able to clear the screen when I change what my app is doing.
This caused flickers.
Instead I only call clear when the screen changes.
No more flickers.
I had already sort of learned this with drawing the header of my app.
I learned that for repeated updates in a relatively constrained area.
(like a header where it's shape is static, but like there's a clock that
needs to update, and some one word info stuff updates)
It is better to write over (NOT clear). No flicker. This one is more
obvious.
