HaikuOS ☛ Haiku ❤ Nvidia (porting Nvidia GPU driver)
I finally managed to make initial port NVRM kernel driver to Haiku and added initial NVRM API support to Mesa NVK Vulkan driver, so NVRM and NVK can work together. Some simple Vulkan tests are working.

Colin Leroy-Mira ☛ Glider for Apple II development log
One month ago I wanted to start developing a game in 6502 assembly (for fun and not profit). I had never done anything like it and it seemed like a good way to learn more!
The beginnings were quite hard and I kept a little bit of code lying around for weeks before managing to shape it into something that was capable of making a little sprite move around. This was the first commit of that game. I had to write a C version of the algorithm to get it right, and at that point it was not even capable of merging the sprite with the background. At first, it was very frustrating and I felt incompetent, but the feeling faded away fast after I managed that difficult (to me) first step.
