I'm writing an HTTP client + server in Elixir. I wanted to see if I could make all of the tests run in parallel using TLS. Working well so far!

#94SQL.
I'm writing a compiler for SQL that parses DDL (CREATE TABLE, etc.) and queries and outputs type-safe Go. It currently supports PostgreSQL, but the plan is to support more engines and more output programming languages.

#95Stanford's CS143 Compilers course: https://courses.edx.org/courses/course-v1:StanfordOnline+SOE...
I've always been interested in making things that make other things, and compilers definitely fall into that category.
In the middle of the second assignment, the parser. It's a lot to consume, but I feel like the theory isn't particularly difficult, about half my learning has been getting to know the tools (so far: flex, bison). I've also spent an annoying amount of time on updating and configuring the VM, I guess that's a bonus lesson in Linux sysadmin-ing. It's also my first experience with C++, which seems useful to know.
I also started this course on web security: https://web.stanford.edu/class/cs253/. The first assignment was a lot of fun, the material is fresh, and it definitely seems like very useful information for anyone in the web stack.
I'm also learning a bunch of new cooking recipes, but who isn't nowadays.

She is a family medicine doctor and now virtually 100% of her time now doing phone calls instead of clinic visits. She wants to do a QI project and needed to be able to track the amount of time her and her colleagues spend on various parts of the Telehealth visit.

#98I've been clearing land all day and bought 50lbs of buckwheat. I intend to try sowing/harvesting by hand. I will use this mostly for breads and pastries. This is something of an experiment. Building skills, I'm almost finished a chicken coop. I made a dry stone arch bridge but it failed because the frame sank, I will try again. I am learning carving to make wooden animal toys for my child, who will be born in July (I…
You should look into Fabric.js, it makes working with an html canvas much easier, especially if you are animating it.
