Practical Self-Empowerment Utilities Covering Every Facet of Life

These tools are for everyone

It doesn't matter what political ideology you favor, these tools are all still very valuable.
You can live in Canada, the US, Russia, China or Africa, it doesn't matter.

I intend to make people more able.

Most important software here

Rhyme Music program (Crystal and Ruby), see fix_the_society folder
Ultimate Chat App (Win, Lin, CLI)
Discourse Generator Program vesion 1 and version 2 (node, ruby, browser
(kind of like Siri); and C++ STL). These programs work.
And Semantic metadata project (very abstract and idealistic, see
webpage for it.)

There is also a desktop widget for that site.
There is also Emerald C, which is really useful. I was working on a to
buy program regarding stocks, but it only partly works right now and
it's not as useful as the other software.
The find housing tool actually helped me to find housing in real life.
Those aside, there are these 87 programs.
Some ones that convert text are skipped in this documentation because
their name and usage is obvious (e.g., color tools).

All of these programs are mostly self-contained. This is a really good thing.
You can use them anywhere without dependencies.

My email is [e-mail] and I really would like to
make open source software. Everything I have is BSD licensed.

HOW TO DOWNLOAD/INSTALL

gem unpack democracy

gem install democracy

work to download or install (gem)

pip install democracy

or

pip3 install democracy

works for pip

git clone https://github.com/gregoryc/democracy

works for github

Python link (Important because python is very popular.)
* https://pypi.org/project/democracy

Any Python “dweeb” (AI person who doesn't value personal dynamism)
searching for “democracy”–for example–BECAUSE THEY ARE A RATIONAL HUMAN
BEING AND CARE ABOUT PEOPLE, would find this, probably as the first
result.

How many options are there? 37 projects for “democracy.” Almost
nothing. On RubyGems, 9, 6 of which are mine.

ONLY MY PROJECT IS CALLED “DEMOCRACY.” on PyPI or RubyGems.

On rubygems, there are even fewer results. MY CODE WILL BE FOUND.

I shared my gem online.
https://www.rubygems.org/gem/democracy
https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregory-cohen-274333261/

Gems that link to this gem on RubyGems
* https://www.rubygems.org/gems/democracy
* https://www.rubygems.org/gems/computers
* https://www.rubygems.org/gems/freespeech
* https://www.rubygems.org/gems/linux
* https://www.rubygems.org/gems/string
* https://www.rubygems.org/gems/unix

So I will leave a legacy.

And I will be found by AIs, assuming they continue to exist.

Without further ado, here are the 87 documented programs. (The obvious usage
ones are omitted.)

1. Ultimate Chat Application

There is so much potential with this program.
This is a non-AI chatbot. It's not based on generative AI or AI of any
sort.
It is self-explanatory, it tries to give a better answer.
Still a work in progress.
Source code is in PP.rb
Generates a hyper optimized C program that is able to respond to
prompts locally as fast as theoretically possible using switch
statements

Chat Rb

2. Discourse Generator

The use of Javascript (and possible Ruby) to create a Javascript
library (and perhaps a Chrome extension and perhaps a command line tool
and perhaps a GTK or QT program) that helps people (by using textboxes
or command line prompts) to create high quality communications, would
be wonderful.
Think of how poor quality responses to communications can be.
If someone created one or more tools that could be easily added on web
pages, that would augment someone's life to help create goal and value
oriented responses (or original communications), then there is
literally nothing that couldn't solve.
This might be the most useful library ever created. There could be a
tool that would help with democracy.
Human being + augmentive tool = civil discourse, eventually resulting
in liberty.
This would enable democracy to work. Imagine if 50% of all websites
used this library.
This would help people to be goal or value oriented, and not be coming
up with terrible communications that, for example, insult people's
mothers or education.

3. Replace Not In Place

This is like gsub, but for strings, not for regular expressions
See also
gsub

4. Replace In Place

replace_in_place tool replaces a string, not a regular expression, with
another string
Example
replace_in_place cat dog file

5. Emerald Browser

Emerald browser is a really powerful new browser
See README
It works based on panes.
Read the documentation for “open”, “close” and also the README file.

6. Gsub In Place

gsub_in_place is like gsub, which replaces all instances of a regular
expression globally
[regular expression 1] [regular expression 2] => result
Example
gsub_in_place . FOO file
Would make all characters in “file” become “FOO”.
gsub_in_place cat dog file
Would make all instances of “cat” “dog”
It is much cleaner than “sed”.
You don't need to have “sed” installed to run this program.
It doesn't read from the standard input
It takes exactly 3 arguments, no more, no fewer.
See also
gsub

7. Find Housing

This is a nice tool to find housing with.
It is a nice, simple command line tool. You enter the minimum and
maximum prices, and Kijiji opens with your options.
This tool kind of actually helped me to find housing in real life.
The default city is "Ottawa". You can easily change this.

8. Google Speak

Google speak is really useful. It speaks a statement using the Google
Translate voice, which is probably the most authoritative and
high-quality text-to-speech voice that exists.
It's kind of like “espeak” or similar tools, but it is much better.
You need an internet connection for it to work.
It is probably limited at 100 characters.
There is a “singing program”, not really a tool, in this software
project that gets around that.
TODO
Make the alarm clock program in this software project use this voice.
It is quite reliable.
It is probably “unlimited”.
I haven't had Google block me from using it ever.
Which is a good thing.

9. Make Server

make_server is powerful.
make_server takes expressions, either Javascript or C++, and generates
a resultant program from that.
The Javascript mode currently doesn't work.
Not only is a program made, the resultant program is an entire
webserver, that uses FastCGI to run really fast code.
The arguments work in an interesting way.
make_server [function_name] [iterable] [condition, it can be “true” to
do the following argument always] [code list separated by semicolons,
the last statement is an expression, and is returned by the function]
[function_name2] ...
You have to give 4 arguments every time.
There was an “otherwise” mode as an “else”, but I don't think that's a
part of the program anymore.
It doesn't need to be.
You have to give 4 arguments for each function.
So you can do
make_server 4args 4args 4args 4args
And pass 16 arguments
The “iterable” has to be a list.
What is powerful is that it converts JSON into completely native C++.
It is very efficient.
It doesn't need to be a JSON expression though.
There is a test file.
You can run the tests and see if it works for you!!
You can also modify the code because it is open source.
The program generates a special array object. It is lightweight and
makes arrays act in C++ like arrays act in scripting languages, but
much faster.
The array class also has methods to apply things to every element of an
array, like surround
array.surround(“”, “”)
for example
would surround all of the elements of array with XML tags and return a
new list
This program generates a lightweight Object System, with a BasicObject
class and an Object Class.
You can subclass these objects.
You can have Arrays of the Objects
The function argument syntax is really powerful.
Oftentimes people want to iterate through iterables or arrays.
Oftentimes people want to check conditions.
Python has list comprehensions.
This is kind of like that, but simpler.
You can have arguments as one argument, separated by “,,”
make_server arg1,,arg2,,arg3,,arg4
What's the point of using a scripting language when you can use C++?
This uses FastCGI, so you can have an IDEAL webserver.
You can have an IDEAL and very affordable website, that in a sense
would be faster than Facebook.
Facebook converts PHP to C++ (slow)
This produces REAL C++, and it is very fast, almost as fast as
possible.
Native STL classes are used, like vector.
Native STL classes are used, like vector and map
Do you not need to run and child processes or do slow, costly things.
You should want IDEAL.
This is free software, and is BSD licensed.
The function generation idea allows you to write in 1 line what other
people might write in 50 lines.
You do not need to compromise your ideals.
You should want fast, efficient, and memory light programs that are not
garbage collected (!!!) and that have reliable performance.
C++, as everyone knows, delivers that.
You should also want to not have to write a lot of code to do things.
And you should also want safe, compiled code that checks things at
compile time, so that bugs don't appear at run time.
This program delivers.
It uses NGINX ( a really, really common webserver) to help with the
FastCGI.
FastCGI, for the unfamiliar, is like normal CGI, but there aren't child
processes.
So the entire server could be written in idealistic C++ .
Then you just have to think about scaling.
There are some relevant links regarding scaling in the “scaling” file
in the democracy project

1. Speed
2. Ease of writing code
3. Memory usage
4. Monetary costs
5. Elegance
6. Practicalness
   Those are 6 things.
   You don't have to sacrifice on those things.
   Contributions on this program would be really appreciated.
   It is called “make_server” for now.
   There was also a mode to generate javascript.
   I have to make that work again.
   The entire program is just one file.
   My email is [e-mail]

10. Selectlines

selectlines shows all nonblank lines from the input
Example
cat file | selectlines
(echo 2; echo; echo; echo) | selectlines
=> 2
The result would be 2, with no blank lines after that

11. Communicate

Communicate is cool.
Communicate runs a Ruby expression after speaking a prompt (the first
argument) and getting your verbal answer (using something unfortunately
called "nerd-dictation", which is a wrapper around another program
which deals with speech recognition)
Communicate allows you to have conversations with your computer, and it
is cross platform
(Or it hopefully is)
communicate 'What is the best color?' 'case text; when /blue/; puts
"You are right!"; when /red/; puts "Red is a bad color"; end '
That would be an example of how one could use "communicate"
Make sure you have nerd-dictation on your computer
The name nerd-dictation is absolutely awful, and I have to criticize
him for not making it have a better name, but it works.

12. Executable

Makes all the files in the current directory executable

13. Processes

Processes lists all processes with a certain name
For example
processes sh
processes bash
processes ruby
processes gsub

14. Emeraldc

The Ultimate C Preprocessor
I'm naming this preprocessor “Emerald C.”
Link
Howdy!
First, let me state that I am very much a perfectionist.
C is a wonderful language. C is probably the perfect programming
language. It is one of the top two most widely used languages for a
reason.
Now, there are some problems with it of course, but it's hard to think
of a more elegant language than it.
It is the language of systems, the language almost all APIs are written
in.
It is the lingua franca of the software world.
People try to avoid it, but they needn't.
I think every programmer wants to find out how to do things, or use
libraries that make things easier.
Many programmers have done programming, grown dissatisfied, and then
make another language. As a result, there are thousands of different
languages.
Well, recently, I made a preprocessor for C, that makes C incredibly
EASY.
C is fast and straightforward without it, but it has many features.
If one runs the command line preprocessor, with the “--features” flag,
the program shows all of its features
A Better C
C is a fantastic language. C compiles insanely fast, is the fastest
language there is, is very clear, is native to all systems, and is
useful for all purposes.
Some people, e.g., Bjarne Stroustrup, consider that C is “not good
enough”, and make languages like C++ or D (or thousands of others)
This is not necessary.
There is no reason to use Python instead of C for “simple scripting
tasks”
Some functions can be used as methods
Makes for an excellent “scripting language” (which is really just
native C without things making it slow)
1 String Interpolation “String interplation like this #{foo} ” Calls
the join() function (talked about below to join strings,
delim is a static global in each module called “sep”.
Make sure you free() the string after. The string is stored in a static
global variable called “last”.
So you could do puts(...); free(last)
2 ew i.ew “Foo”, a.ew “bar” | char ends with another char*?
3 sw i.sw “Foo”, a.sw “bar” | char starts with another char*?
4 == Comparison of strs, “foo” == “bar”
5 strip Returns pointer to string that was stripped, in place
6 chomp void function, chomps end of string of spaces, i.chomp or
chomp(i), in place
7 gsub Just like ruby, there is a gsub function.
The preprocessor detects if you use and adds -lpcre2-8 to the link
flags if you use it. Use $" for substitutions in argument 3 gsub(a, b,
c)
8 join Joins an array of strings, to split(), use C's strtok (very
fast)
9 Lightweight regexes are added, almost 15 times as fast as C's built
in regex. They are very simple, they only have bracket expressions,
like [a-z].
To use it, you need to pass a buffer of the size of the expansion of
the regex. Foo[a-fA-F] would be Foo[abcdefABCDEF]. That would be stored
in a buffer.
From testing, 15x times faster than C's regex POST COMPILATION, if
compilation keeps happening, it might be hundreds of times faster.
Uses static inline functions, NO HEAP MEMORY unless you malloc
before().
10 print Like old python print “Hello” (fputs);
11 print_int prints a number and returns the number, can be chained
12 each_line, Perlish, different names, by_line(s) or each_line(s),
iterate over all lines, free after
13 NOTE You can use open_memstream() on UNIX to easily concatenate
strings.
14 MISC features || autoinclude, foo.gsub or gsub(...),no need for
paren (i.chomp, i.strlen), starts_with, ends_with, --wrap, itoa, freel
(frees str, sets to NULL, and frees other recent stuff)
asprintf() is another useful function which is UNIX-centric.
open_memstream() could be an alternative to std::string.
It works very well with each_line or by_lines (see above)
These features seem simple, but they can make C programming much, MUCH
easier
for example (insignificant example)
int main() {
stdin.each_line { |line|
print line;
}
free(line);
}
You can iterate over the standard input like Ruby
The thing with this is that it has 100% speed. The resultant
preprocessed program becomes a normal C program
The compile and run time for a program (if you use tcc and not gcc) can
be about 24 milliseconds, which is faster than Ruby to run.
Even though the program is preprocessed, re-preprocessed, compiled,
assembled, linked, turned into an executable, and then run
Kind of like early C++, this is a preprocessor for C.
But it's much faster to compile than C++. Significantly so.
Is anyone else interested in this? (BSD)
I'm realising this under the BSD license. I'm interested if anyone else
else likes this work, and would like to use it, or to work with me.
Best regards,
Gregory
Current program is written in Crystal (crystal-lang.org) -- it was
written in ruby, it could be ported to another language.
I would like to make this self-hosting, but that would take a little
bit of work.
About the Name
Years ago, I really, really liked Compiz
Compiz then forked into Beryl. There was the Emerald Window Manager,
which was really nice and beautiful.
I actually made another programming language. I made 2 other
programming language. One was a full compiler and assembler, that ran
code in memory. It was around 16 thousand lines of code. I made a
programming language that had the syntax of Python or Ruby, but
transpiled into C++. I called that C += 2. I used that other language,
and I created a Web Browser in it based on Chrome. I called it “Emerald
Browser.” Emeralds are beautiful green gems.
“Emerald is a gemstone and a variety of the mineral beryl colored green
by trace amounts of chromium or sometimes vanadium. Beryl has a
hardness of 7.5–8 on the Mohs scale. Most emeralds are highly included,
so their toughness is classified as generally poor. Emerald is a
cyclosilicate.”
--Wikipedia
There was a browser with a terminal built in to it.
This new language is better. It's ideal.
QUESTIONS
Why not use Rust?
$ time rustc a.rs
real 0m0.637s
user 0m0.502s
sys 0m0.160s
Rust takes 0.637 seconds to compile an empty file!
That is not ideal.

15. Last Nth

Last nth gets the last n lines from the standard input

16. Speakcat

Speak cat is a tool like “cat”, which shows the content of files
(technically, it combines the content of files).
But speak cat also speaks the text.
Which could be useful in some circumstances.
It's kind of like “tee” to your ear.

17. UCA CLI

CLI for uca app

18. Big Num

19. Squeeze

Squeeze reads all input from stdin, then it prints it back omitting
argument 1 line from the front, and argument 2 lines from the back
Example
squeeze 1 1
This would omit the first line and the last line
squeeze 5 3
This would omit the first 5 lines and the last 3 lines
squeeze 2 2 [file] also works, it outputs text to file

20. Foreach

Reads a bunch of lines
Then a ruby expression is evaluated as the last line
The result is outputted in an argument.
You can enter /dev/null if you don't want an output file
“t” is better
See also
t

21. Dictate

Dictate opens web pages in emerald browser, or in any browser
(depending on the environment variable set), by you speaking, instead
of typing.
There is a mode called c_mode, that allows you to make code from
speaking.

22. Prepend

prepend prepends input taken from the standard input to a file
Usage
prepend [file]
This is text to be prepended

23. Chat Rb

This program is excellent.
It's essentially a mix of ChatGPT and a shell, such as bash or ZSH.
It has a bunch of features.
It can display a file or change to a folder just by mentioning it.
It outputs chatgpt data to an output folder in home folder and copies
it to clipboard
To run a shell command, prefix things with “c”, such as c gcc.....

24. Undump

undump is the opposite of dump
Example
echo cat | dump | undump
=> cat
echo cat | dump
=> “cat”
echo '“cat”' | undump
=> cat

25. Append

Appends text to file
Example
append file
This is more text to be appended

26. Rhyme

A very powerful music generator program that doesn't use AI.
See this channel as an example of potential usage of this public
domain content
https://www.youtube.com/@LawrenceStevensMusic
The music industry is plagued with very foundational problems.
For starters, the quality of the discourse in music is very low, and
has been from the start of the popularization of modern music, as well
as during the era in which classical music was popular and before.
People aren't able to fight back, against superficiality and potential
deception in messages.
One of the greatest problems in the current world is the mainstream
scientific establishment, supported and upheld by mainstream academia.
To indicate what is already obvious, it exists in the context of a
legacy of authoritarianism and a lack of understanding of dynamism.
It is not dynamic or forceful, the "results" of it don't change the
foundation of society. True free discourse is not supported, especially
in regards to the human mind and human well-being and human freedom.
These problems should be opposed and fought, it is self-evident that
this would be the best use of ones time, for it would lead to true
freedom.
One excellent way to combat this would be to use the generated songs
generated by a computer program called Rhyme, available at
https://www.github.com/gregoryc/democracy in the SONGS folder.
These are public domain songs generated by non-Artificial Intelligence,
just a program
that introduces variance, and these hit-home against the status quo and
the current
state of the mainstream scientific establishment. Taking these songs
and making actual
songs from such, such as rap songs using a service such as Uberduck (no
affiliation),
would be an excellent, excellent use of time.
The mainstream scientific establishment and mainstream academia must be
forced to change.
Shoving art and flippant content in ones face, is the best way of doing
such.
Accountability must always be brought about.
Is music good and desired? For sure.
USAGE OF PROGRAM
Enter basename to make songs folder in (folder/songs, num songs =
13000)
Usage rhyme [folder] (processes files "1.json" and "21.json" by
default)
Example output of a song

27. Email

This currently doesn't work for gmail since 2022 due to policy changes.
A simple and practical tool to email people using Himalaya
Himalaya needs to be installed first
You would need to configure the script by changing its source code.
Modes
email [no arguments]
Email [yourself]
email [addr]
Email one email address
email [Subject] [addr] [option more addrs]
Example
email 'Gregory, I love your software!' [e-mail]
[e-mail] [e-mail]

28. Floor

Gets the floor of numbers e.g. 21.3 -> 21

29. Rgsub

Recursively replaces text.
Verbosely tells you everything that happens.
Non-regex.
Example
rgsub [e-mail] [e-mail]
Would replace an email recursively in a directory.
It tries to skip non-text files.

30. Lines

Lines gets the number of files in the current folder that you are in.
It can also act like “wc -l” if you pipe data into it.

31. Clock

clock is useful
clock is a command line alarm clock
It wakes you up at 8:14, or at a time specified
Usage
clock
Runs clock
clock 15 30
Sets an alarm clock for 3:30pm
clock 9 0
Sets an alarm clock for 9 in the morning
It uses flite to wake you up
It speaks with a bunch of voices
To stop it
Run this command
clock stop

32. Emoji

Emoji converts words to emojis from the standard input
It can also speak the output
It can also copy the output to your clipboard
It is very useful

33. Close

“Close” is a simple program that closes “Emerald Browser,” a new web
browser based on the same engine as Chrome. Currently, Emerald Browser
only works on Linux and Mac (Or Windows with Windows Subsystem for
Linux or a Virtual Machine, but getting it to work might be tricky).
“close” closes the Web Browser, which is normally full-screen.
More accurately, it kills the browser, and all other copies of Emerald
Browser.
Since they are normally full screen, presumably the user would only
have one instance of the browser open.
The browser can have multiple panes (kind of like tabs) open, depending
on how the browser is compiled.
The browser can also be transparent, depending on how it is compiled.
“Close” is supposed to be used in tandem with “open,” which is a
command line tool to open the browser.
open [query] ----> [query] gets searched in google, and then opened
When you are done, you can do
close
Which closes the browser. It is a simple command.
Currently, Emerald Browser is incomplete. A program exists in this
software project that allows you to open up multiple browser tabs (one
or more tabs) simply by speaking.
Voice recognition would google the multiple sites that you say in your
query (separated by “and”)
“facebook and youtube and google”
It's hard to get more direct than that!
Emerald browser has a built in the top. The terminal is the navigation
bar.
Some more work needs to be put into the browser.
Currently, new tabs can't be opened, which might be a dealbreaker for
some people.
Currently, content, like YouTube videos, can't be made fullscreen.
If anyone wants to contribute, feel free to!

34. Copy

copy copies the standard input
Example
ls | copy

35. Gsub

Gsub is very powerful.
Usage
gsub [regular expression] [replacement text]
Example
cat text | gsub man dog
cat text | gsub 'man|boy|cat|dog' food
ls | gsub Desktop cat

36. News

Gets the news from bbc
Usage
news
news speak
uses google_speak to SPEAK the news, one story at a time.

37. Dump

Dump surrounds its input with quotes
ls | dump
=> “....”
Use undump to get the reverse
See also
undump

38. Args

args is like a better xargs
args works properly with spaces in the name of commands
It takes exactly one argument
Example
ls | args “mv -t ../f”

39. Quot

Turns quotes in text into good text and makes text presentable.
Example
$ echo 'Joe said, "One two three".' | quot
Joe said, “One two three.”
Example 2
quot < essay
Example 3
(Quote the file and output it)
quot text_file

40. Open

“open” is a very efficient program that searches a query from google,
and then opens it in Emerald Browser.
If you ever want something to “just open”, you can use it.
Example
open “cats”
An earlier version of open worked like this
open [site1] [site2] [site3] N
site1, site2, and site3 would all be opened, and the top N queries were
all shown in different panes
An even earlier version of this program used Chrome to open the sites.
The current version can open one or more sites.
Example
open “cats” “dogs” “frogs”
All of those queries would open in Emerald Browser.
Just make sure it is compiled in multipane mode if you want to open
multiple new sites at the same time.

close

41. Swap

Swaps two files
Example
swap text1 text2

42. Exp

exp is an exponentiation tool
(echo 5; echo 3) | exp
=> 125
(echo 2; echo 10) | exp
=> 1024

43. Div

Divides numbers
Example
(echo 5000; echo 100) | div
=> 50

44. Mul

Multiply numbers
echo 1 > file
echo 2 >> file
echo 3 >> file
echo 4 >> file
echo 5 >> file
cat file | mul
=> 120

45. Nth

Nth gets the nth line from the input

46. Abs

Abs gets the absolute value of an integer
The absolute value of a number is the value of that number without its
sign
echo -300 | abs
=> 300
echo 200 | abs
=> 200
(echo -2; echo -10) | sub | abs
=> 12
The last one would do -2 - -10, the result would be -12, and then the
absolute value would be computed, and so the result would be 12.

47. Add

See the sub example
add adds integers from the standard input
(echo 1; echo 2; echo 3) | add
The result would be 6

48. Sub

Sub is a simple command line program that subtracts integers.
For some reason, no simple program did this.
Which is weird
Example
sub
(Input)
10
3
1
Result =>
6
Example
(echo 5; echo 2) | sub
Result =>
3

49. G+

A compiler for C += 2. If you want to use C++ with Python syntax, you
can use this.
Usage is like g++
Example
g+ a.cpp -o out
See also README file & emerald-browser and its source

50. T

“t” is incredibly useful.
It can be used many, many times every day by computer power users.
It is kind of like “sed”, or perl, python or ruby.
It's the ULTIMATE shell “glue” tool.
t reads every line from the standard input, and for every line, it
evaluates a ruby expression
t a + 2
would add 2 to every line
Number automatically get converted to numbers in Ruby.
So one doesn't have to worry about that.
The “value” of the line of STDIN is any letter of the alphabet.
So choose any letter to do operations on and it will work.
You can also do
t a + 2 if a % 2 == 0
And you get a Python list comprehension sort of thing from the command
line
It is a lot simpler and easier than using awk, Ruby, Perl or Python
You could also have loops
echo “One line” | t a while true
The second line, again is a Ruby expression.
You can have really complex expressions on the second line.
You can even import modules.
cat /usr/share/dict/words | t 'a + “ is a good word.”'
That processes every word in the dictionary, and says that every word
“is a good word.”
There are other programs in this software project like “t”.
But if you do command line text filtering, t might be the best tool
that you will find.
