#493I'm going to learn how to run an ecommerce business. I'm a programmer at work, so I feel like I can use skills I know to learn ones I don't.

#494My goal for 2017 is to fully figure out Docker. The majority of information out there, including tutorials and blog articles about others' successful deployments, comes in the form of very high-level overviews. Everything I've found is an introduction to getting a basic docker instance running. There is very little useful information out there as to how to run a proper multi-host cluster. There is core Docker. Tack o…

#495My goal for 2017 is to finish some of the projects I started in 2016. 1) VSCode extensions for code coverage and inline debugging decorators. 2) Rasberry Pi Self Driving Car. Autonomously navigate from A to B 3) VR Meditation app. You are a god and different sounds of "Om" creates beautiful landscapes and life. From non-technical side I want to: 1) Keep up meditating everyday. 2) Write one chapter of my book a week.…
> 2) Rasberry Pi Self Driving Car. Autonomously navigate from A to B This seems interesting. What are the resources you're using? Do share a blog post about it once you're finished!
I want to mount the structure sensor from occipital which gives depth info and be able to build a map of my house. Still a lot of things need to be done but I have ideas on how to make it work.

#496Elixir, and probably Phoenix. We have a large IO bound orchestration layer written in Scala that's been struggling with our traffic lately, and it's been a lot of work to optimise performance. Curious to see if Elixir can help us, and how.
I'm curious as well. What advantage do you think Elixir might provide over Scala?
What I don't like is the prospect of losing static typing. Nor do my co-workers. We need to spend some time doing R&D.

#497I also want to get up to date with the most important advances in my field (distributed systems and algorithms). I did follow research in 2015, but not in 2016, so I have to catch up a bit.

I have game development in my list...looks like I should pair up with you.
If you want to contribute to anything, I'll be posting it on my GitHub at https://github.com/jFransham . I've got the start of a game in Rust on there at the moment, but it's nothing like production-ready (and there's no actual _game_ there yet, it's just testing code).

#500Here are the things I want to learn in 2017: 1) I want to learn Java and be an expert in it by the end of 2017. Also, some of the basic concepts of computer science. 2) I am going to start a new food website where I am going to create and share new recipes. I really want to learn so many new recipes and improve my cooking skills. 3)I am going to buy a Ukulele next week and I want to learn it so badly. This is going t…
> I really want to learn so many new recipes and improve my cooking skills. Consider watching Alton Brown videos on youtube. I find he does a good job at explaining cooking at a lower layer of abstraction. Also, a big part of cooking is keeping your kitchen organized, so think of the physical layout of your cooking space as a UX/information architecture problem. If you have a disorganized kitchen and are trying to ju…
