I'm creating a 3D claymation fight between Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Amy Coney Barrett done in the style of Celebrity Deathmatch. I've finally gotten enough Blender modeling, rigging, animating, texturing, materials, and video editing under my belt to start producing whole animations. It's going to take months, but I'm confident I can make it happen.

#442I am working on my journey to become an Indie Hacker and currently building WordfixerBot. I hope that I can learn to be better at marketing and sales this year.

#443My printing app (for Sailfish OS) is now pretty much done.
https://github.com/attah/harbour-seaprint
It works very well with the vast majority of even remotely modern networked printers, and has no dependency to CUPS, foomatic or other legacy stuff.
For this year i'll learn from my mistakes and move over any remaining logic from QML/JS to C++ so that it can be made useful for other OSes, for the remote chance that anybody would care about it.
Since QML has many dialects and basically needs duplicated effort for several platforms, the "frontend" part should be as slim as possible.

Haha, nice. And same — maintaining focus is hard :)
btw, really cool work with Remake, it's really neat!
Haha, thank you! I'm working on something similar, but easier to use/understand now. [0]
You might be interested, idk.

#445I’ve been starting and growing a live theater venue in San Francisco for the past couple years, taking a break from the tech world. It’s finally starting to build some good momentum and I’ve even got some paid employees now. This year I’m hoping to get it self-sustaining enough that I can leave it largely in the hands of capable management and start dabbling on the tech ideas I’ve been kicking around. I’m especially…
A theater theater? Will you be involved in choosing the plays or anything? Gather other patrons or sponsors to maintain it? Maybe build a troupe and train amateur artists?
That sounds extremely interesting, and something I would never think about doing coming from IT. I understood you want to take a break from the tech world, but mind sharing how the idea of growing a live theater venue came to your mind? :)
Cheers

#446Found a job and moved to Spain, so will spend 2023 practicing Spanish and some Catalan. Job is related to climate change, so will continue mixing workflow managers, climate experiments, HPC, Python, data analytics. Other than that continue moderating r/functionalprogramming and r/fuzzylogic on reddit, add more Brazilian Portuguese expressions to https://speaklikeabrazilian.com , and try to release Apache Commons Imag…
Hi kinow, I'm a Haskell developer from Barcelona. It would be nice to get in touch. My email is in my profile.

aha, I feel your pain on sucking at front end dev. my site looks pretty similar to yours, bootstrap, etc. and I have no idea how to get away from it.
This is an uncommon suggestion but what broke me loose from this was reading "the elements of typographic style" a few years back. The back half is minutely detailed font stuff. But the first half is largely about how to identify meaningful differences in the purpose of different groupings of text, and guidelines on how to visually differentiate them with typographical decisions like weight, letter- and line-spacing,…
Nice idea...
... sounds like I should pay someone to do it!

#448I am working on actually beginning doing something with my photography. It has been a hobby/passion of mine for 7+ years, but so far I do not really do much with the final images. I put them on my private Flickr as a backup and upload the highlights to Instagram, but that's it. I feel like Instagram is a hard medium because the photos that are trending are mostly the same overdone and oversaturated landscape or trave…
I liked your photos on Instagram :) It appears to have a certain identify, with nature, natives, mixing history, and with good composition.
I agree with t0bia_s 2 that you should create a portfolio. But please keep posting your work on Instagram (already following you) or wherever you like. Cheers!

What do you mean by supply chain in relation to a software company (assuming you're talking about software and not trading / eCommerce)?
Yup every company has a supply chain. In software the supply chain is new designs, new code, new customers, new support tickets. Arrange them on a board and optimize the flows. If you do not have flow on a certain track, focus on building that track up but make sure that it fits into the big picture and zoom out like in factorio. e.g. If you have raw materials, i.e. designers, they should always be creating design as…
Awesome, thanks! I didn't think about it that way so far but that makes a lot of sense.

#450I'm continuing work on the No Bullshit Guide to Statistics, which is an introductory book on statistics that includes all necessary prerequisites (practical data analysis using Pandas and probability theory math using the computer models from scipy.stats). It's been a many-year project (because STATS IS TOUGH!), but I've had very good progress in the last couple of months of 2022 (finished first few chapters) and now…
This sounds excellent. Will be keeping an eye on this. As I've been spending more time doing data viz recently, I've started to realize how little I remember about stats from college and am having to study back up. Unfortunately, the resources I've found have left much to be desired. My best bet at the moment seems to be going through MOOC courses to essentially retake my stats courses. But your guides here seem much nicer.
