Hacker Scripts is a cheeky collection of small automation scripts and language ports collected under the tagline “Based on a true story.” The repository gathers playful utilities (originally shell and Ruby scripts) that automate short, real-world tasks — for example, sending a quick “late at work” text when SSH sessions are active, firing off an automated “I’m sick / working from home” email on certain mornings, or even talking to a networked coffee machine to start brewing at precisely the right moment. The README explains the origin story and highlights several canonical scripts and provides usage notes such as required environment variables and cron examples for scheduling. Contributors have provided implementations and ports in many languages and folders (shell, Ruby, Python, Node, Perl, PowerShell, Go, Java, etc.), and the project explicitly welcomes pull requests that add additional language implementations.

Source Navigator NG is a source code analysis tool. With it, you can edit your source code, display relationships between classes and functions and members, and display call trees. You can navigate your source code and easily get to declarations or implementations of functions, variables and macros (commonly called "symbols") which helps you discovering and mapping unknown source code for enhancement or maintenance tasks.

FSP - File Service Protocol. FSP is lightweight UDP based protocol for transferring files. It is designed for anonymous transfers over unreliable networks.

Makani was an ambitious Google X project that sought to harness wind energy using airborne wind turbines — autonomous kites capable of generating power while flying in crosswind patterns. This open-source repository contains the complete software stack that powered Makani’s research and flight systems, including the flight simulator, autopilot controller, avionics firmware, visualization tools, and ground control software. The software enables simulation, control, and analysis of the Makani M600 turbine system, designed to operate offshore and autonomously manage complex aerodynamic behaviors. Built primarily in C++ and Python, the codebase integrates real-time flight control, sensor fusion, aerodynamic modeling, and telemetry visualization. The project also provides comprehensive simulation environments for studying airborne wind power systems and flight dynamics. Although Makani’s commercial development concluded, the software remains valuable for researchers and engineers.

The Algorithm is Twitter’s open source release of the core ranking system that powers the platform’s home timeline. It provides transparency into how tweets are selected, prioritized, and surfaced to users, reflecting Twitter’s move toward openness in recommendation algorithms. The repository contains the recommendation pipeline, which incorporates signals such as engagement, relevance, and content features, and demonstrates how they combine to form ranked outputs. Written primarily in Scala, it shows the architecture of large-scale recommendation systems, including candidate sourcing, ranking, and heuristics. While certain components (such as safety layers, spam detection, or private data) are excluded, the release provides valuable insights into the design of real-world machine learning–driven ranking systems. The project is intended as a reference for researchers, developers, and the public to study, experiment with, and better understand the mechanisms behind social media content.

JPype is an effort to allow python programs full access to java class libraries. This is achieved not through re-implementing Python, as Jython/JPython has done, but rather through interfacing at the native level in both Virtual Machines. Maintenance and evolution of the project has moved! please see http://www.jpype.org for the latest version
