I’ve just started selling art-piece wordclocks:

https://www.finewordclocks.com

Making wordclocks has been a hobby of mine. For a few years I’ve been developing various designs, fabricating them at a local hacker space, and giving them as gifts.

People keep asking if I would sell them. So I finally made a high end design and put together a simple web store.

My first production design is a limited run of 100. I recently sold my first one.

I just bought my own cnc router (still in the crate). The plan is to set up low run production in my basement rather than the time-sink of a hacker space. Plus a good excuse to get the kids interested in creating stuff when we have cool tools in the basement.

Unfortunately hackernews doesn't seem to support emoji properly, so I've put my message here:

http://www.ternaryplot.com Some courses required me to make these kind of charts and the quickest options were Excel templates or drawing them by hand. There are some Python and R libraries that are pretty good but they were a little too cumbersome for most of my relatively simple charts. So I made this simple page with d3.js to quickly make pretty ternary plots.

Do you have any examples with values?

https://sendnoodz.io Solving big picture problems .... Send pictures of noodles via MMS when someone asks for nudes. Built because I wanted an excuse to setup twilio/stripe and thought goat attack was great.

I like the text comments on your sample screenshot.

https://github.com/ioddly/meditations - Daily organizer based on habit formation. It actually needs a little bit of TLC which I'm hoping to give it once I finish up my current gig. I'm still the only user, as far as I know, but I use it daily so it's fun to work on.

I found a while back and gave it a whirl. I thought it was awesome. I am happy to see you have continued to put time into it. Thanks! I'm trying to centralize the 2-3 todo/misc apps I use daily by using a bujo/bullet journal. The other day, I was telling my bujo using coworker that I was going to commit to using your app if I didn't dig the bujo. Thanks again for making meditations. I think the UX flows well for habi…

Well shucks, this comment made my day :)

Feel free to use the GH issues or email me (in profile) if you run into any issues.

https://www.finbuckle.com/MultiTenant Multitenant support for ASP.NET Core 2.0. The previous popular solutions all went out of date with the release of .NET Core 2.0.

Which 'popular solutions' did you review? We used aspnetboilerplate.com for our multi tenancy SaaS app

Mainly Saaskit. aspnetboilerplate.com looks awesome but it is an entire application framework built on asp.net.

Finbuckle.MultiTenant is just focused on supporting multitenant scenarios in asp.net core and integrates into a standard asp.net core project.

Looks like we both support data isolation via automatic filtering in Entity Framework Code (I almost have this documentation ready to post).

I also support tenant-scoped options which allows you to have different authentication options (any option really) per tenant. aspnetbiolerplate.com looked like it had its own auth system--I didn't see anything on the site about how multi-tenancy applied to its auth system.

It's not quite as interesting as a lot of stuff here, nor is it something I can link to just yet, but I'm writing a book about interviewing for product management roles. I took a sabbatical recently and have just started interviewing, and already I've had very mixed experiences - some really well organized and thought out, and others that were clearly thrown together with no thought. I started taking notes on what wa…

What a fantastic idea! Given the value this could provide for interviewees I hope you're planning on charging appropriately. Where can I sign up?

Because I had to look it up:

> A Ternary Plot ... [is a] plot on three variables which sum to a constant

It's a neat way of plotting (A + B + C) = 1

Looks great!
