#443I'm building a 21st century farm. I'm working towards building an ag farm that nets $100,000/yr with only 8hrs/week of actual work. No clue how I'm going to get there but that's the fun stuff. Right?
How do you get started with something like that? Do you have a blog or anything?

#444I have a project idea that might be useful for someone to learn about audio processing (and maybe neural networks?). I like to listen to audio and watch video of podcasts (and lectures and other human speech) at faster speeds. Sometime, especially if I'm trying to "skim" to see if the media is worth listening to carefully, I'd like to listen at 3x or faster. Very often, the limiting factor is the intelligibility of t…
Interesting idea. I used to watch Berkeley webcast videos at 1.5x to shave off ~30 minutes from a 90 minute lecture. Any faster wouldn't be intelligible.
I do the same. I usually watch all lecture videos at 1.5x or 2x speed. Saves me tons of time which is good because usually to videos are of random interesting topics that are distracting me from work.

#445Myself and a technical partner are working on a linting SAAS project that comments on style issues right on the PR in GitHub. As the non-technical partner I am working on optimizing conversion and prioritizing product work. We check style for 11 languages and looking for feedback on what to tackle next, or fix in the current product. Here is the page if you want to check it out: www.stickler-ci.com.
How do you guys plan on competing with Hound besides on price? In my experience Hound is fast and from thoughtbot, but a little bit pricy for what it does.
We have to added more languages, and give it more functionality. For example, ensure it works with GitLab and add auto correcting linters.

#446I am developing a new TCP/IP stack targeting embedded systems primarily. It is being written in a restricted subset of C++14 (e.g. no dynamic memory or exceptions, but virtual functions are great).
There is a LOT of things complete already, it pretty much works. ARP, IP(v4), TCP (with NewReno congestion control), PMTUD, DHCP client. The design is single-threaded around an abstract event loop that a user would generally need to implement unless they found one of two provided implementations useful. The focus is correctness and reliability rather than performance, hence no DMA support for now and maybe forever.
Source code is here: https://github.com/ambrop72/aprinter/tree/ipstack/aipstack
Actually this is currently in its testbed project (APrinter firmware for 3D-printers) where it supports the integrated web interface using a custom HTTP server.
In addition to the one embedded platform where the firmware currently supports Ethernet (Duet board), it is possible to run on Linux with a TAP interface which is my primary testing setup.
If anyone is interested (in assisting development ;) I can help explain things and show how to set it up.

#447As a hobby project I'm writing a VM based on VLIW opcodes, so an interpreter written in C (and in assembly for few popular architectures) could run reasonably fast without requiring JIT (i.e. instead of fetching one instruction per iteration, a big instruction containing many instructions with its respective parameters is fetched). On top of that will run a scripting language optimized for fast string processing (I'm not sure about the viability of the compiler, yet -I guess I'll have to put customized opcode combinations for most frequent load/alu/store combinations, for the specific need of the scripting language on top of that, i.e. not academia stuff-).

#448A compact way of encoding nutrition information so that it can be transmitted via a data URI or 2D barcode.
The idea is you could include it in a menu or cookbook or recipe website and scan/click it to add to a food-tracking app.

#449I'm working on a programming language. Just as a hobby, not commercially. :-)
Design-wise it's really just how my ideal language would work: functional, compiled, statically typed(higher-ranked, impredicative, but type-level functions are first-order, and no effects system), mutable refs that are _not_ GCed, first class delimited continuations, equi-recursive _and_ iso-recursive types, implemented in C so the compiler itself has a good performance baseline, etc...
It has been really fun so far and an amazing learning experience. I intentionally didn't read up on type theory, so implementing the type checker was a huge challenge.
Amazing feeling when I finally got it to (correctly) work, though :-).

#450Problem1: I want to travel, but I don't know where. Problem2: Skyscanner's search-everywhere feature doesn't help 100% on that. Project: Events + Flights + Airbnb. Events for now are Film festivals, music festivals and sports events. Check it out: www.natzar.co
Nice work, cool project and I could see this being really useful planning trips with friends / SOs. The first thing that comes to mind for me as a consumer is wanting more filters for Airbnb room types, hotels, flight stops, etc.
