• Tinygrad 0.9.0

  The only one I can think of the dwm window manager (https://dwm.suckless.org/), that used to prominently mention a SLOC limit of 2000. Doesn't seem to be mentioned in the landing page anymore, not sure if it's still in effect. - Source: Hacker News / 24 days ago

• Show HN: Hancho – A simple and pleasant build system in ~500 lines of Python

  This is sort of the suckless approach. Most (all?) of their projects are customized by editing the source and recompiling. From their window manager, dwm: dwm is customized through editing its source code, which makes it extremely fast and secure - it does not process any input data which isn't known at compile time, except window titles and status text read from the root window's name.

• Do I need a modded wii to play Mario kart online?

  Honestly everyone here is giving way too roundabout and unofficial of options. Playing using fan servers is fun, sure, but nothing beats that beautiful, laggy, original Nintendo Wii WiFI. It will be a much more enjoyable and authentic experience if you use a time machine to go back to 2008-2014 and play on the official Nintendo WFC servers. If you don't have access to a time machine in your home, you should be... Source: about 1 year ago
