I am working on building a portfolio of software solutions for business software, IaC, CICD etc that can be used as reference applications. Then, I'm planning to provide those on a fixed fee basis. Sort of like a software accelerator for certain types of startups or business applications. I suspect I'll build some of this, but I'm also actively looking for published / open resources. I need to figure out how to find…

Quite interested in doing similar as well, feel free to drop me a mail if you're inclined.

I'm working on getting back into programming. I took a break after burning out.

My main love of software has always been writing programs that deal with music and audio. I'm going to spend more time writing plugins and building out more of my ontological approach to music theory, and eventually work on more evaluation models.

Working on a tool to help consumers find products / watch for price drops that match their budget for a very specific industry. Think camelcamelcamel with price charts (and other aspects of the products) tracked over time and Google Shopping so you can compare the same product among stores. Hoping to get the MVP out this month, been tracking data heavily since ~last September and currently have ~150k data points acro…

Scandid.in is a shopping assistant with features like price alerts. We have entity based product matching which works for 98% of times across 25m products. Would love to give some inputs/help out if possibble, ping me if you are interested.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I had the same question! My understanding — relayed through one degree of separation from Daniel Griffin, the dendrochronologist who wrote the piece — is that the core samples are very long and thin, and care is taken not to injure the tree and to allow it to heal rapidly. Here's a write-up from Carleton with more info about how the tree core sampling process works: https://serc.carleton.edu/trex/students/labs/lab2_2…

Not having read the much more authoritative response above (or any such), I'll foolishly offer the one fact about trees I recall from boy scouts or outdoor school: The core of a tree is much less alive than the bark—so much less, in fact, that if you walk in a circle around a tree scraping off a thin strip of bark and make sure to stop where you started, the tree will die. Having googled this just to be sure, I also…

Cork trees are an exception to this, and are harvested all the way round without harming the tree.

I finally started working on GigTablet, a resource for gigging bands. I use MainStage for notes but it has no tablet version and therefore requires a laptop mirrored to an ipad to be useful when I’m gigging. Features will include: web-based, song notes/images, gig scheduling, setlist creation, simple mobile UI, master controls so one band member can select the next song and all tablets will update, etc.
