I want to learn Latin and read one book a month (unrelated to learning Latin, I just have no time to read anymore).

#122To build a new language/compiler combination for a specific problem domain. Nothing fancy, just something that spits out geometric shapes using code rather than a GUI. Start small, web accessible and cheap.

#126Vim. I'm a notepad++ and PHPStorm user but I've gotten curious about the potential productivity gains afforded by the vim power user functions.
Came in to say this :) If you want to maybe pair up or some sort of structured learning on it, let me know. Could be cool to have a partner or some accountability. Although might be silly to do for learning an editor , ha.

#127I want to learn how to even start a side-project. I've been out of university since 2012 and have done basically nothing in my free time CS-related. Every time I start to even think about doing something, that "why are you working while on your free time" feeling comes up and I immediately do something else. Not sure if it means I really don't love programming and Computer Science after all (entirely possible) or if…
I've yet to graduate, but I find myself in the same position. I've got other non-CS related hobbies that I enjoy and so I don't really end up making any good side projects. CS seems to have this feel around it where it has to be both your job and your passion. Recruiters want to see that you spend all your time outside of work/school programming, which makes it difficult for people like us who have other hobbies they…
I don't know how's the market where you live, but are you sure the "programming outside work" is really a crucial component, or that you're not just sending your CV to "hip" startups? Because the market around here isn't that hot, yet it's not hard at all to find companies who don't really care about your personal life, they just want to know about your academic and professional lives.

As a fairly accomplished guitarist let be give you a piece of advice. If you want to learn the notes instead of learning them across the 6 strings, concentrate on learning them up and down the same string.
Thanks for advice, I am using similar approach too. Because I also try to learn the positions too, so if you ask me what note is on sixth string/8th fret I have to know it's C and then if you ask me where are the other C notes, I need to know other string/fret pairs.

#130Earlier quoted context omitted.
Are you looking to automate infrastructure-as-code in there, as well? I've lost many a night to trying to get Rancher to play nice with Terraform, especially in high-availability mode. Luckily, it appears that the process has been vastly simplified in recent rancher-manager releases.
Are there good ways to use Terraform internally / without online providers like AWS? I've just started using it with DigitalOcean, but I'd like to use it at home to do IAC with my whole setup. As far as I can tell the only good route for this is to throw OpenStack on bare metal, but I'm a newbie so I wonder if there's a better way.
You can write your own providers for Terraform[0] and bake whatever you want into its HCL syntax. In your case, this might not have significant returns over bootstrapping with Ansible/Chef/Puppet -- it all depends on what you want to do.
