Tart lets you run VMs on macOS
Very cool. More CLI than UTM. Another is Lima.
sixty-five bookmarks of interest.
Tipi appears to be a super-easy Home Server
Thing I like about projects like these (another example would be LinuxServer) is studying their humongous list of FOSS apps.
BatFi gives you full control over how your Mac laptop is charged
You can use System Settings -> Battery -> Battery Health -> Info Icon to toggle this “ML” approach where macOS (and the developers who know more than you about how to care for your Mac) will handle this for you but I’ve never gotten it to work as expected despite docking my laptop repeatedly, and for half the day, over a year.
You can buy it on Gumroad or here’s a download link.
Doppler is an iTunes/Music alternative
Another is Swinsian which looks like iTunes of yore but doesn’t have dark mode (and, not that this means anything, appears to have no updates since 2018).
Both apps are paid. An Open-Source manager is the Strawberry Music Player

Merchele Sans
Was paying a bill on the State Farm website and wondered what they used. Comes in serif and slab serif as well.
Pagefind, a fully client-side search library
Lovely. Uses some kind of sharding to intelligently get ‘pages’ of relevance. The WASM size is only ~70kB, compared to SQLite’s WASM’s ~460kB.
Learning Zig
By the same author who wrote The Little Go Book
A most excellent introduction to SVG
All a typical dev would need to know really.
Unix as an IDE
I love this. There really is nothing (or at least very little) that’s new under the Sun.
James Smith Solid Stick Umbrellas
Gorgeous. One day.
Understanding Regular Expression matching with .test(), .match(), .exec(), .search() and .split()
All these years and I find myself reaching for this reference quite a few times…

If there’s a TL;DR it is the second line: “Don’t put any lines in your vimrc that you don’t understand.”
Calculus for Mathematicians
by DJ Bernstein
The Five Cognitive Distortions of People Who Get Stuff Done
Not what you think they are.
Euler’s Identity Explained using Triangles and Spirals

Don’t use Hadoop - your data isn’t that big
I bookmarked this in 2015 and it’s crazy how relevant it continues to be.
The Wonderful World of DNA Sequencing
Dated but a nice and quick intro a la “DNA for Programmers” or the like.
LiteCLI is a command-line client for SQLite
And a delightful tool I use almost every week for its auto-completion and syntax highlighting,
