Grid engine - https://www.planimeter.org/grid-sdk/ I'm working on Grid engine 9, which should release some big improvements to out-of-the-box multiplayer support. It's the only source code-based Lua game engine that I know of with first-class multiplayer support that has a dogfood project. Everything else out there is roll-your-own w/ LuaSockets. I've been writing it for the last few years due to not being able to fi…

And for the record, LÖVE rocks.

Indoor vegetable and fish farm, i.e. aquaponics, in a fully circular production system. We are building our pilot installation right now. Additionally we got two government grants: one to set it up monitored with sensors, and a production management system, for future automation, traceability and transparency for the food chain; the other to start taking in food waste and converting into fish food via insect larvae,…

Incredibly interesting. How can we get more information on this?

What Got Done, a minimalist tool for teammates to share weekly status updates with each other. https://whatgotdone.com/ I'm a solo developer and find it gratifying to set aside a half hour at the end of each week to write down what I did. Otherwise all the work just becomes a blur. I wrote a longer blog post about the motivation behind it here: https://mtlynch.io/status-updates-to-nobody/

I have a "lab book", but I stopped writing into it. It mostly contains information i gathered about a particular section of the code base or how a solution might work or what I learned about our business domain. But over time the constant context switching of topics I had to work on made me stop it. I would like to revive it. However, i want the information in there (the lessons learned this week) to be less project/…

Oh, that's interesting. I do some introspection when I'm writing my weekly updates[1], but not to the depth that you're describing. But What Got Done should work as a lab book, although I haven't implemented search yet, and it sounds like that might be important to you.

The time when I do deeper reflection is when I write my monthly retrospectives. [2] I don't have a standard set of questions that I ask myself, but that's a good idea. My method so far has been to state what lessons I learned, evaluate how I did against my goals for the month, and define goals for the subsequent month.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I have had a pretty incredible urge lately to work on some similar software. I'd love an app, for example, like Committed (linked below) that had SIMPLE live-collaboration functionality. Figured I would demo that pretty soon, make a site, and see if it could gain some traction. Looking forward to seeing how this progresses. (forgot to add the link!) https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/committed-newtab-t...

Thanks for checking it out! >like Committed (linked below) I can't find the link you're referring to. Did you mean to add a link to the bottom of your post?

Sorry about that! I fixed it. Thanks for letting me know.

working on my crippling depression / ADHD, unemployed (i don't want to work anymore in anything) 6 months , 0 productivity. learned a lot of category theory, functional programming and c++ tho.

Sorry to hear that but good that you are working on it. Life will look better to you in the future if you keep at it. Psychotherapy worked for me in the long run (1+ years) - suffered from severe depression for more than two years.

I'm currently participating in Frontier Development Lab Europe ( https://fdleurope.org/), an 8 week research accelerator with the European Space Agency, Oxford University and a number of tech organisations.

The idea is to bring together space scientists (domain experts) and machine learning researchers to try and make a meaningful contribution to the field in a very short period of time. It's a lot of fun, and a really interesting mix of people taking part.

We've just finished week two, which means we're narrowing down our ideas and are about to start the "real work". We're split into teams working on different challenge areas (you can read more on the site). While I can't say much about what we're doing specifically, the outputs from the teams are usually published after the event at conferences/in journals.

There is an analogous program in the USA (NASA FDL) which is running in parallel.

(and who knows, I'm pretty sure there are some other FDL'rs who read HN ;))
