You can build C projects using only a C compiler without needing tools like make or cmake by using the "nob" library, which lets you write build instructions in C itself. This makes your build process very portable across many systems (Linux, Windows, MacOS, etc.) because it depends only on the C compiler, which is widely available. It also lets you reuse code between your project and build system since both use C. However, it requires comfort with C programming and is mainly useful for simpler C/C++ projects, not complex ones with many dependencies. You just include the single header file "nob.h" to start using it. This approach simplifies building and increases control if you prefer coding your build steps in C directly.

Breaking: A Boeing 737 plane that plummeted into a Chinese hillside in 2022, killing all 132 people on board, had its fuel supply cut mid-flight, according to newly released data by the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).
Findings by the NTSB say that the fuel switches on both engines of the China Eastern flight were moved to the "cut-off" position while it was at a cruising altitude of 8,839m (29,000ft) — exactly like the AI171 Air India crash in Gujarat last year.
China has yet to release a final report on the incident, citing national security concerns. #Aviation

GPS Renewables started construction on India's first Ethanol-to-Jet (ETJ) Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) plant in Pudimadaka, Andhra Pradesh, under an NTPC Green Energy EPC contract. Using Lummus Technology and Xytel India's engineering, the facility at NTPC's Green Hydrogen Hub will produce 1,800 tonnes per annum of SAF and renewable diesel. The process converts CO2-derived ethanol via ethylene conversion, oligomerisation, and hydroprocessing. This project advances India's sustainable aviation fuel scaling and transport sector decarbonization goals.
