jlongster/dcpu-lisp. Why this is cool? Well, Notch is working on a new game - something like Elite with integrated hacking. And the hacking happens on a 16-bit CPU that is based on a 6502. And now all kinds of people are building code for this CPU. Among other things, here is a Lisp compiler.

Subrepository - Mercurial. Quite embarrassing, what one keeps discovering and realizing that one should have been using it for a long time, but doesn't. Especially the tip with the "shallow main repository" sounds good, that could simplify some of the organizations of my projects. So far, I have rejected subrepositories precisely because of the fixed connection of the large main project with the library projects, since I use completely different external branches (i.e., repositories) for different environments and, for example, do not want to push my dependencies from the maintenance environment into production. With a shallow main repository per environment, on the other hand, I could cleanly separate the relationships and still document at a central point how the dependencies of the various repositories are represented. And yes, all of this here is just a note for myself, if you don't understand it, just ignore it, colorful pictures will definitely come again soon.

645 PRO app for iPhone offers access to lossless camera output but not Raw. Sounds quite interesting, but not so much because of the pseudo-RAW - there won't really be such huge differences - but because of the user interface, which is much closer to a normal camera and also provides a few more pieces of information. According to comments, however, it does drain the battery quite quickly.
