I'm building a language learning app: https://yakk.app . Way to go, but made a good start and even a little bit of money so far. I quit my job and moved to Asia on savings to keep building. LMK if any of you guys are in Bangkok, let's hang out.

#303Very exciting project. It started as a dream journal app many years ago when I was a student, and will now soon have a full interactive step-by-step guide with practical tools to achieve your first lucid dream.
It's android only, but I've started working on an iOS version and am thinking of raising some money or doing some crowdfunding to accelerate the development.

#304Several things: 1. Working on a 'production ready' version of Conal Elliot's 'compiling to categories' for GHC. 2. This is so I can create a vectorizable model of a datalog-based query language I'm building in Haskell. 3. The query engine will be using a version of monadic optimization as outlined on a blog post somewhere 4. The purpose of the query engine is maintenance of large datasets, all the more important with…

#305I've noticed that my son spends way too much time on YouTube or playing Minecraft and one of the few offline activities he enjoys doing on his own is coloring. And since he comes to me every time he wants a new coloring book and we spend about 10 minutes together searching for each picture, I made a website with a collection of coloring books for him. The site is very simple, but to be honest, I haven't had so much f…

#306As a father, I wanted to capture all the little moments of our day-to-day family life to later share with my grown-up children. However, I did not have the discipline to journal regularly. So, I made Memzy to capture them easily on the fly!

#307Then the nodes in the graph maintain types (things like people, date, currency) as extracted and allow queries.

Currently building a demo where we crawl startup investment data to build a knowledge graph that can be filtered for patterns.
The engine can guide the crawl process, to keep crawl limited to the problem statement.

#308Resources for people moving to and integrating into Spain. Including translated index of government forms[0] I moved to Spain a few years ago and love it, except for the paperwork. I’m slowly learning Spanish (currently 1112 day streak on Duo) but found it hard to get the right info. So I’m using gpt4 and perplexity to do things like translate local news, government forms, and the official government update feed. [0]…

The language is called Funciton (pronounced: /ˈfʌŋkɪtɒn/) and the above example demonstrates the factorial function.I made this language over 10 years ago, but earlier this year I've been making YouTube videos in which I describe it in excruciating detail: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkG32PHxWoJaetjKUMVRONWLg...
For my next video, I want to show in detail how the interpreter works. For this purpose I'm creating an elaborate animation. You'll notice that the latest video is already several months old; this is because this animation is more work than I bargained for, and I got a little burned out by it. Nevertheless, I persevere and the video will come out whenever I may finish it.
