I fell into a sorta wikihole and now I have no one to present my findings to. North Korea has an animation studio, and there's a good chance you've seen some of it's work. It's called SEK (or Korean April 26 Animation Studio). The things they were outsourced to work on were The Simpsons Movie, and Futurama: Benders Big Score. There's also an episode of Avatar, and Teenage Mutent Ninja Turtles(2003) in there too. Whic…
Spotted "Adrian" fan?

Hey, we're practically neighbors! I'm from Chapel Hill, NC. Sadly, I don't do any rock climbing. It's one of those things that I've always thought looked interesting, but I somehow never found time / energy / money / whatever to pursue. My big things outdoor activity wise are cycling (MTB, road, and BMX) and fishing.
Hey, if you’re interested in trying, the local gym system TRC has free first sessions when going with a member. If you’re interested, shoot me an email, it’s in my profile :)

#723One of my favorite hobbies is reverse engineering and modding video games, old and new. Zachtronics recently released a bundle of solitaire games collected from all of the wonderful games they released over the last couple years. I built a program that injects code into the game, reads the game's memory to find the board state, and passes that into an automated solver. I also figured out various ways to trick the game into thinking that the board has been solved.
Reverse engineering games is incredibly fun, and you can learn a lot as well!

This sounds amazing. I'd be interested to hear more details about what "stewarding 50ha of Australian bush" entails. Do you work with a local conservation organization, and do you have any particular goals for restoration or management? Do you work on documenting the biodiveristy there? Is it home to any endemic or threatened species you're espeially interested in? Any photos you could share?
We don't work with a conservation organisation; we don't have any funding; we do it all off our own backs. With my limited time, I document the biodiversity of our block here: https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations?place_id=any&use... My wife throws up our photos on Flickr, which includes a great many of our efforts at sustainable farming and replanting, an album documenting our house-build, as well as our hikin…

#726Hello from Berlin, Germany. Currently spending my days mostly learning for exams and doing homework. I hate every second of it. Not because I'm opposed to learning stuff. But because I just think other topics are way more interesting and useful for me in the future. Every time I sit there and try to memorize something that I really don't see any value in, I feel such a loss of a lifetime. I just think of all the thin…
I'm passionate about all those fun little niche coding projects I have written in my notebook and want to work on. But I don't really have the time to develop my beginner-skills to the extent I would like to, for me being able to build them. Which one especially?
*this one seems to be one of the more feasible ideas

#727Hello from Melbourne, Australia. This weekend it finally started to feel warm, and I'm ready for summer. I ran a software development agency for 8 years, sold it at the start of the pandemic, and been travelling with my wife in an RV around Australia thinking about what's next. One of the issues we faced in our business was around centralising project requirements, and ensuring both our clients and our team could ref…
Hello, I´m looking at it right now. 1: Centralising project requirements, 2: Ensuring both our clients and our team could refer to a source of truth. 3: When you're working on possibly many a few long-term projects +4: When Scaling is a issue. ==== My remarks: 1: Which audience are you targetting? --> Is it a dev tool? 2: Does the current pricing and business model make sense? --> It´s advantage is that is longterm,…
No it's not a dev tool specifically, I would say more for project and product managers, however the strength is involving the whole team. My initial customer development has been with agency owners and CTO's, as that's my background.
Regarding the pricing model, our initial thinking is a monthly subscription (with your plan denoting how many projects you can add) - but I hear you, we are currently testing this pricing model and open to feedback.
I can see how having a demo would be beneficial, perhaps a middleground would be having a demo video (as making our private app public would take a bit of work).
Happy to connect! https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrickard
Thanks again mate.
