I'm working on tools/projects to unify, access, interact and use my personal data for quantified self, knowledge management, etc. A couple of examples: - https://github.com/karlicoss/HPI#readme - https://github.com/karlicoss/promnesia#readme Would very much love to discuss it with other people, collaborate etc.

I am very interested in this space. Thank you for sharing those links!

I've recently started following Paul Bricman's work "Thoughtware" https://paulbricman.com/thoughtware

I created a discord server called Awesome Knowledge Management https://discord.gg/XPNeDSQE2j

Let's chat!!

I'm working on a platform for writing and publishing web-based/html books (not epub or pdf) over at pagespace.app (invite-only for now). Aiming for a sort of Substack for longer writing with one-time purchase and subscription options. Always looking for collaborators if anyone is interested in the space. The stack is Elixir + Vue 3 + ProseMirror/TipTap + Stripe on Kubernetes for the moment. Authors welcome as well. I…

Haven't find a match due to the stack or is there another reason?

Hard to say, but for those that did express interest the stack was indeed a bit of a blocker.

Ad-hoc data formats like JSON and XML are too insecure for the modern world, so I'm developing a new format to remedy this [1]. It's a twin format, one binary and one text, so that you can input / edit the data in text, and then it passes from machine to machine in binary only (or convert back to text if a human needs to inspect it). The binary format is designed for simplicity and speed, and the text format is desig…

An alternative approach might be to use an existing popular serialization format such as Protocol Buffers, Apache Thrift, or Cap'N'Proto and create or improve tools that convert to/from human-readable text formats to the serialized binary format.

For example:

- Protocol buffers have a text format mode: https://medium.com/@nathantnorth/protocol-buffers-text-forma...

- Thrift has readable-thrift which is a human-friendly encoder and decoder: https://github.com/nccgroup/readable-thrift

- Cap'N'Proto has a `capnp` tool for encoding/decoding text representations to binary which seems to be officially supported and documented! https://capnproto.org/capnp-tool.html

These libraries have been battle-tested by major companies in production, some protocols and implementations have gone through security audits, and in addition each of these formats already has many language bindings, for example:

- Protocol Buffer Third-party language bindings: https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/blob/master/docs...

- Apache Thrift language support: https://github.com/apache/thrift/blob/master/LANGUAGES.md

- Cap'N'Proto in other languages: https://capnproto.org/otherlang.html

I am a former principal software engineer at a MAMAA company turned independent educational researcher. My primary interest is in deliberate practice and how to use spaced repetition (i.e., Anki) to develop expertise. I have three primary areas that I am working on and would love to find serious collaborators: 1) I am building high-quality content for math, English language arts, chess, etc. (see [0] for a good expla…

Have you already written about the challenges alluded to in item 2 of your post somewhere? I would love for these resources to exist and I'm curious about the obstacles you're facing.

I’ve been building an open source accounting system in go. https://github.com/darcys22/godbledger Id love for any seasoned golang experts to do a review of my code and highlight any areas that could be improved.

Reads like "God Bledger" :]

Makes it easier to remember :)

Hey everyone, I'm about to start a gig advising on tech policy in DC for 1yr but during that would like to start ideating on a potential startup with someone with plans to launch early 2023! I'm not an engineer but have done a little product but my core focus is usually on growth/bd and navigating regulated areas. I have a few ideas (listed below) but am open to ideating with folks openly and seeing where interests a…

You should add email to your profile! Have had some ideas in these areas and would love to chat sometime.

I prefer to be anon but I see you have your email in your profile, will ping

I'm studying mathematics. Now on chapter 11 in Spivak's Calculus. Interested in learning stats, differential geometry, classical mechanics, relativity, and quantum after. Would be interested in discussing math ideas, proofs, problems. Happy to learn/teach if you are close but above/below where I am at right now.

I’m also self studying mathematics on the path to a “DIY statistics degree” (currently revisiting Calculus as well). I imagine there is a fair bit of overlap between what you’re doing. Would be interested in hearing more about how you’re handling your education journey.

As a brief summary, I spend a couple hours every day working through a textbook. In choosing what/how to study in mathematics I'm driven by two considerations: 1. It's important to master the basics before anything else. So I need to cover linear algebra (done) and calculus (WIP) 2. Beyond the basics, I'm driven by curiosity/play. My current interests lie mostly in stats and physics.

Happy to chat otherwise, I put my email in my profile.

I am interested in discussing maths. You might want to add an email in your profile for contact. You can find mine there !

Done, thanks.
