TaskExplorer is a powerful Windows task manager that gives you deep insight into what your applications are doing in real-time. It displays process information in easy-to-use panels showing threads, memory, network connections, and system resources without cluttering your screen. You benefit from advanced diagnostic tools like stack traces for finding performance problems, memory editing capabilities, and detailed monitoring of disk operations and network activity. The streamlined interface lets you navigate quickly using arrow keys while watching live updates, making it ideal for troubleshooting software issues, optimizing system performance, and detecting problems that standard Task Manager cannot reveal.

Shortcircuit XT is a free, open-source sampler plugin in beta from the Surge Synth Team, rebuilt from the classic 2000s Shortcircuit using modern tech. Download nightly builds from GitHub, load WAV/MP3/FLAC/AIF/SF2/SFZ files into zones for round-robin/random/layered playback across 16 parts, add per-zone filters/envelopes/LFOs/processors, and use poly/mono/legato modes with MPE tuning. Join Discord to test, report bugs, or contribute. This gives you pro-level creative sample mangling and synthesis without paying, saving money while future-proofing your sounds via open formats.

#c_lang #jq

jq is a lightweight command-line tool like sed, awk, or grep, but for processing JSON data. It lets you easily slice, filter, map, and transform structured data with zero runtime dependencies. Install via prebuilt binaries from GitHub releases, Docker (e.g., `docker run --rm -i ghcr.io/jqlang/jq:latest < package.json '.version'` to extract version), or build from source. This saves you time handling JSON in scripts, APIs, or files efficiently without heavy software.

#c_lang #bldc #control #field_oriented_control #foc #hoverboard #motor

This project changes stock hoverboard firmware to use FOC motor control, which can make the motors run more smoothly, more quietly, and with better efficiency, while also allowing higher top speed through field weakening. It supports several control modes and input types, plus safety limits for speed and current. For you, this can mean better ride feel, lower power use, and more flexible ways to build hovercars, boards, robots, or other custom projects.
