#182I'm getting ready to spend a week playing the Interactive Fiction Competition games! Every November I get excited to play the new entries. It reminds me of being a kid in the early 1980's and getting a new Infocom game for Christmas. I makes me so happy that there are other people who not only feel the same way I do about IF, but they actually write spectacularly fun games! https://ifcomp.org/
Holy hell. Is this just like one big ass MUD adventures convention? Pretty cool, man.

#183Hello from SF! Having a "me" night tonight after watching some very entertaining games, and enjoying this thread quite a bit.
If anyone is passionate about backcountry skiing let me know! I'm getting ready to split a lot of time in the Tahoe area this winter, and always love hearing about new routes/getting beta.

#184Great post! So great that this will be the first time I post a comment here on HN. I’m from Sweden and I’m passionate about two things currently. The first thing is that me, my wife, my mother and my father is building a house from scratch to me and my wife. I’ve never built anything before so a lot of what free time I have goes towards reading up on how to do it. We started building 1,5 years ago and started taking…
I’m no longer building a house. My family did when I was younger. One day my Dad took us to a random plot of land and went “we’re building a house here”.
I figured he meant contractors, did not realize that for the next 5 years, every weekend was going to be building a home from scratch.
My parents are retired and live there permanently now. It was a wild ride, learned a lot.

#185Hello from Delhi, India. I dont have much going on in my life, 11th grade exams are on top soo I can barely find much time. One thing that I am really passionate about is concatenative programming and how it can be used as a better way to program and teach programming, especially low level extensible programming . I have no idea how can I even write a good concatenative language, how the theory for it will work, comp…
Hello from across the Polk Strait (Colombo). Keep at it!

#186I am currently in this phase where tech stuff does not interest me very much. I still work a tech job and do a fair bit of coding, but mostly put a stop to obsessively reading every tech article on this website, code up something new in my free time, learn a new language etc. Sometime during the pandemic, I stopped caring, perhaps fell into a bit of anhedonia. Thankfully, reading HN kept me informed about boreout (th…
I’m also not interested any longer in my field (that I used to be passionate about so much that I swear would wake up out of the dead just to do).
So I am picking up another hobby. History, cooking, and ????

#189Hello from Sydney Australia. We’ve got some beautiful weather here today (Sunday)! I just went for a surf with my beautiful wife while the grandparents walked our 6 month old around the beach. I wish the world was a peaceful as our time in the water.
Hello from Colombo, Sri Lanka. I was there on work this September. Incredible place. Like a more chilled out version of New York. I envy your distance from all the crap that's going on in the world.

#190Earlier quoted context omitted.
Man, building an ECG. What is your job description? What kind of organization are you working for? Also your English is excellent!
I think tech lead or something like that. It sounds more serious than it actually is. Electrical engineering is done by someone who knows his stuff, I'm more software guy. Actual ADC is Texas Instruments chip built for ECG applications. So we basically interact with it and deliver a recorded signal to UI and finally to our servers. We have working business and we integrated with some ECG devices which are used on the…
Very fun project! My best to you
