#182Items have a prefix and suffix system similar to Diablo 2 so I'm having nostalgic fun building it. None of this gives any advantage to the chess games you play. It's just a pointless cycle of gems, items, and experience to get more gems, items and experience. Seems fun so far.

#184* Disk images
* Liveboot isos
* Container images (docker/podman)
Many build products are supported, with more on the way:

It uses a syntax that is inspired by Docker, but significantly enhanced.
Take a look at:

#185My current series of post follows the surge of interest in UUIDs with the uptake of UUIDv7. I've seen some subtle misunderstandings spreading, so I dive into nuance. This has spun off some mini projects, like an RFC compliant UUIDv8 implementation based on XKCD 221 [2] (humor intended). I think I have two more in the blog series.

#186I’m working on https://regularly.co/ - A website made for inquisitive minds to get their daily puzzle fix. Still very much a WIP (mainly working on tuning the difficulty of puzzles to make it enjoyable for most). That being said I really do enjoy the unique combination of puzzles when I do them each day. I’m looking for feedback so if you do take a look please do let me know your thoughts!

Rules state they must be in different regions, row and column. No mention of diagonal or adjacency.

#187I was a YC founder in 2006 and now work as a data scientist full-time, but on the side I also do Christian apologetics, helping fellow engineers/scientists/mathematicians seek answers to life's deepest questions.

#189I'm exploring building a weekly curation service for professionals who want to write on LinkedIn but struggle with "what's worth writing about."
The thesis: In the AI era, execution (writing) is commoditized. The real bottleneck is editorial judgment... knowing what topics matter before they're obvious.
The concept: Weekly email with 5-7 curated topics (tech trends, policy shifts, market movements). Each topic comes with sources, multiple angles, and context Choose your perspective, AI drafts a polished article
Why I think this could work: I've been manually doing this for myself for years. Pattern recognition at scale is hard to automate, but pairing human curation with AI execution might work.
Target market: ~30M professionals who should be building thought leadership but don't have time to spend on research.
Current status: Validating demand before building. The hard part isn't the AI, it's systematizing the trend-spotting and curation process without losing signal quality.
