#22Hello from Astana, Kazakhstan. I just spent wonderful night playing World of Warcraft, coding some lua addon for it and tinkering with VPS. It's Sunday's morning and I'm going to prepare more coffee. Now I need to endure till the evening so I can actually attend work at Monday with proper schedule. At work I'm working on creating an ECG device which hopefully will be useful and cheap for local hospitals. And some other projects which are more boring.
Have a good day or night or whatever time you're happening to have around.

OP is asking you to “comment here about whatever you're passionate about at the moment, however niche it might be.”
Are you passionate about pedantry? If so, you might be in the right place.
This post was nice to see. In addition to other things, I’m thinking about how to make simple tools/apps that bring back the sense of wonder we felt in earlier times on the internet. I made a little app (really just a function that i have mapped to a keyboard shortcut) that redirects you to a random website sourced from a handful of interesting are.na channels as well as from HN. It has brought me joy both making it and using it. The app is called moonjump and also has a minimal UI:

#24This post annoyed me and I'm not sure why.

#25Is HN is being profiled? Earlier the question about age demographics, now this looking for your interests?

#26Sometimes, I think about what I really want. What I want most in the universe, for myself.
There's plenty I want for everyone else. I seldom let myself think about what would be good for me lately.
Sometimes, like tonight, I do know what I want for myself. It's impossible, but it's my greatest desire for my life.
I want to be "uplifted". I want my brain capacity to be expanded by orders of magnitude. I want to understand, I want to comprehend, I want to see it all and fully understand the shape and implications of all things in my sight. I want to be more than a human mind. I want to be far, far wiser. It's not power I want. It's knowledge. It's understanding.

#27I’m passionate about Bitcoin, Ethereum, Catholicism, the destruction of the state, the lowering of taxes, the betterment of society on individualistic terms, the rise of private schools and the death of public indoctrination. The future is truth and the ruination of government lies. And every day I see more evidence that the socialist order is decaying.
I would _love_ any semblance of evidence that the current order is in any form socialist
Depends on your world view. I give ~40% of my income to a decrepit government where I have no say how it’s spent. My city pays $25,000 USD per public school student and the results have not only been atrocious for decades but are declining year after year. Government jobs require college credentials… colleges whose accreditation are approved by the government, in some circular fashion of reciprocal approval. Our medical system is in shambles. I really don’t know how to convince people that the government has ruined society if they can’t see it themselves - the solution for statists is always to steal money from actually productive people like myself.

Yes I am and I am glad you noticed! I also like helping people follow the site guidelines; posts generally fare better when they do.
Sometimes people call me a stick in the mud. Which is fine. Without the stick, the mud might fly off. You don't want mud flying around, do you?

#30Hello from California. I'm a full stack developer. Primarily Scala/JS/TS. I do some Haskell and Python on the side. Love functional programming. I built a bunch of Haskell projects that people still use. I don't have the time to maintain them anymore. Want to get back into it again. Kind of want to learn Rust. I'm currently trying to build Strava for the command line because I like minimalism. Want to build a few iOS apps next. Waiting to get a new Macbook Pro.
Cheers!
