It's not a product, but I am trying to get better at meditation. Being able to calm yourself is an invaluable skill for a hacker.

I've been thinking of trying to work on this myself. Both as a way to manage stress in my life and as a way to put myself in a better creative mindset. Any good resources/tips?

This is hands down the best meditation advice I've come across. Put on some head phones, find a quiet place and enjoy.

In order of time spent:

- Since forever working on an actuarial cash flow model

- Since a few months: risk management in the agrarian sector

- Starting to look at the Kona (K) programming language

- The Matadano crypto challenge, this project suffers under work load for the other three.

Chat app, I kid you not. But just deciding on the front-end stack at the moment.

Nothing very interesting.

Still trying to find a purpose for this experiment in threaded feeds:

http://precis.gopagoda.com/url/http://www.reddit.com/r/progr...

http://precis.gopagoda.com/url/https://news.ycombinator.com/...

Also teaching myself SDL2 because I want to try to make a game in C++.

I was going to teach myself Android development this year but the emulator isn't even usable on this laptop i'm using.

I'm also working on an anonymous HN clone in Laravel, with passwordless login. It works but it's only on my HD and I can't be arsed to host it anywhere right now.

More a proof of concept, bringing 3D into industry automation. Some Scada/Mes Software already have some kind of 3D interaction but these are basically DWG-Viewers. And that's the first point, dwg is the format which you will get most source from machine producers. A standard in software in production is OPC_UA which already offers functional protocols to be used for 3D implementation. So what I want to see is can you get dwg (maybe parsed to another format) together with the functionallity in OPC_UA present it in an engine (PCs in production are build for durability not graphics power) and can you find an interaction system which can actually be used by a machine operator in production.
