Show HN: Header-only GIF decoder in pure C – no malloc, easy to use

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-07 21:36:33

I built a lightweight GIF decoder in pure C, ideal for embedded or performance-critical environments. It’s header-only, zero dynamic memory allocations, and fully platform-independent. Supports both static and animated GIFs, with turbo and safe decoding modes. Works great on microcontrollers, IoT devices, and anything with a framebuffer. Would love feedback or ideas where this could be useful. Github: https://github.com/Ferki-git-creator/TurboStitchGIF-HeaderOn...

Tesla Isn’t a Car Company Anymore

Tesla may be in trouble. Investors and fans will get a clearer picture this Wednesday, July 23, when Elon Musk’s carmaker publishes its second-quarter earnings. There is no doubt that the core business is facing significant headwinds. The electric vehicle pioneer is expected to post a 13 percent drop in revenue and a 25 percent plunge in earnings per share. But if you only listen to Musk on the earnings call, you might not even hear the word “car.” Instead, expect a full-court press on robotaxi

Many lung cancers are now in nonsmokers

Annie Chen first noticed she was unusually short of breath in 2017, while running to catch the bus home to New Jersey from her job in Manhattan. She told her primary care doctor, thinking of her father, who died of lung cancer at 71. But her doctor told her not to worry — her father was a heavy smoker, and Ms. Chen had never smoked. She continued to have difficulty breathing, but it wasn’t until two years later that a doctor ordered an X-ray, and Ms. Chen was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer.
