I am in the same boat as you. I am using Luna and DeepSeek Flash. Both super fast, super cheap, and I have not felt need for anything more capable in few weeks.

Show HN: Learn OCaml, exercises checked by WASM in browser

ioma8 — Mon, 13 Jul 2026 14:17:19 +0000

Hi. I do not know OCaml. But wanted to learn it. With help of Claude Code I did this online interactive course. Runs WASM OCaml compiler in the browser to check your answers. Proven useful. Curious if any seasoned OCaml writers can point any issues in it.

Here is gh repo which has the interactive course also in TUI variant: https://github.com/ioma8/ocaml-learn

I just ported it to rust 1:1 (https://github.com/ioma8/microui-rs) Yes with assistance of AI, not ashamed of that.

Totally not the same. Its used as technical phrase. In europe we have many languages, but in most of them we use the term Tech lead as phrase.

Does this mean end to macOS wine gaming? From what I know you need to be using x86_64 build of wine on macos to run the x86 built windows games.

Can you expand on that? What you mean by static python?

Didnt you think of making it open-source on github?

It works perfectly cool through wine. Also i think adding mac builds wouldnt be hard given its simple dependencies.

Well while note open-source (but still free), Marta is the best MacOS TotalCommander alternative: https://marta.sh/

Yes its truly noteworthy project. They exploited Canon cameras by first managing to blink red charging LED. Then they used the LED blinks to transmit the firmware out. Then they built custom firmware which boots right from SD (thus no posibility to break the camera). The Magic Lantern firmware for example allows many basic cameras to do RAW 4K video recording (with unlimited length) - feature which is not even in the high-end models. But it has much more features to tinker with.

Watch a lotta NorthridgeFix youtube channel. He is excellent and leads you through his thought processes. Also get tons of hand ons experiences. Disassemble everyday things and try to figure out how they work / how to modify them. Remote controlls, routes, childrens toys, mobile phones.
