Download kindle books from Amazon web
/*
I was looking to try a non-kindle e-reader, but my library kept weighing me down. While I had calibre and the de-drm plugin, I found the downloaded books on my kindle were in kfx format and weren't playing well with calibre, even with the kfx input plugin.
Further, I found downloading books directly from web (Amazon > content library) did give me an azw3 file, which works well with de-drm.
To automate part of the process, I wrote a short js script. It doesn't walk through all the pages in content library, but it does download all the books currently visible on the list. Amazon lets us view 25 books per page, so I just had to switch pages, run script, repeat.
The meat of this script is constructing the url used to start a download. Device type, serial number, customer id etc. will be different for everyone, so it's best to download one book manually and check the network inspector for the request details. Apart from the book's `key`, all other details remain same for all the books (at least they did for me

Why Tcl?

Why Tcl?

Introduction

I use [Tcl] as my scripting language of choice, and recently someone asked me why. This article is an attempt to answer that question.

Ousterhout's dichotomy claims that there are two general categories of programming languages:

LLM Introduction: Learn Language Models

Purpose

Bootstrap knowledge of LLMs ASAP. With a bias/focus to GPT.

Avoid being a link dump. Try to provide only valuable well tuned information.

Prelude

Neural network links before starting with transformers.

A complete compiler for a simple language (in less than 150 LoC)

This project is a tiny compiler for a very simple language consisting of boolean expression.

The language has two constants: 1 for true and 0 for false, and 4 logic gates: ! (not), & (and), | (or), and ^ (xor).

It can also use parentheses to manage priorities.

Here is its grammar in BNF format:

expr ::= "0" | "1"

Let's Destroy C

I have a pet project I work on, every now and then. CNoEvil.

The concept is simple enough.

What if, for a moment, we forgot all the rules we know. That we ignore every good idea, and accept all the terrible ones. That nothing is off limits. Can we turn C into a new language? Can we do what Lisp and Forth let the over-eager programmer do, but in C?
