#182My oldest daughter will turn 8 this year. These days I'm planning which would be best computer/software/OS for her (if any), but nothing in the market fits my requirements as a father. There is so much noise, distraction and overall bullshit in today's computers that I don't think it is healthy or appropriate for her. So I'm planning to make a custom (software) solution. A small set of focused, minimal, productive an…
Microsoft Surface tablet with Fedora, install some productivity and educational programs. Later you can show how GNOME Builder works and teach some simple but useful programming

edit: if it's Python start with Thonny to show the programming flow first before moving to GNOME Builder

#183I am working on actually beginning doing something with my photography. It has been a hobby/passion of mine for 7+ years, but so far I do not really do much with the final images. I put them on my private Flickr as a backup and upload the highlights to Instagram, but that's it.
I feel like Instagram is a hard medium because the photos that are trending are mostly the same overdone and oversaturated landscape or travel photos, and while I do take landscape and travel photos myself, I try to not fall into the "bright oversaturated"-look that so many seek.
In the end I guess I want to do more people photography, showcasing cultures etc., but it is a challenge to find good subjects for more serious work rather than just the occasional snapshot. I guess you have to go more all in while traveling and actually travel with the purpose of photography if you want it to become an occupation, rather than just taking pictures along the journey as I do now and not explicitly planning for it.
Has anyone had any experience in this field?

#184Working on making big geospatial data (from sources like NASA, ECMWF) really easy to work with through a simple API that integrates with common tools in python/R. Would love to help ppl focus on answering really interesting questions (e.g. impacts of climate change, energy load forecasting, food security), without needing to be experts in geospatial data engineering! https://www.pharossoftware.com/
Cool!

#186My cup literally runneth over.
I'm launching a series of community-focused dinners for Colorado-based CEOs and VCs (https://www.ThunderviewCEODinners.com)
I'm launching a social photo-sharing game that I designed over a decade ago and then put in the icebox. Super excited to share when this comes out.
I'm launching a new coaching program for successful entrepreneurs on finding enduring fulfillment and happiness in their lives by identifying and pursuing their greatest values.
And I'm still coaching 15+ early-stage startup founders at any given time. Despite all the work, I've never been happier.

#189I'm working on a notes taking service [0] that behaves the way I want. All notes are organized in the (potentially nested) streams, messages can also have metadata attached which makes it easy and natural to keep track of any observations, be it travel notes, reading notes or exercises tracking. The big idea is to make it a place that would accommodate for any types of notes and any steaming messages in general, e.g. data from your smart home weather station.
Public streams have RSS, you can follow my dev and product streams if you like.
Landing page is rubbish, api is not there, but I hope it's good enough to present the idea. I've recorded a video [1] to showcase the features

#190Systematically archiving, transcribing, making searchable the Russian state TV propaganda that’s in a large part responsible for creating and sustaining the war in Ukraine. Tools like Whisper now make it possible to do this on a massive scale. Hoping this will be useful for investigators when the war is over.
