I've been working on a project called "HackTheCompany" (http://hackthe.company/) which lists historical hacks that have occurred, with a brief description. It then offers a live CTF for every single historical hack where you can do the same thing the attackers did. Walkthroughs are offered for each as well, if you have no experience. It's part of a larger project I'm working on, but even standalone I think it's pretty neat. It's not complete yet, but is functional - would love any thoughts and feedback.

#312I've been spending time working on my board game accessories business https://burgertokens.com/ It's been an awesome experience so far. I have enough customers now that I can go to pretty much any board game event and find people who are fans of my business. I'm working on editing a video for an upcoming kickstarter that we're about to run. Super excited :)
Love this! Dreamt of this idea once but never ran with it, and look at you. Awesome work!

#313I'm writing a book that teaches people coding using JavaScript, the book that takes you from 0 (no coding background) to getting a job as a JS engineer. 2 years I ago, I had a hypothesis to see if anybody could learn coding if they tried. To test that, I reached out to random people with no coding background, most of them from underprivileged backgrounds. I figured they have fewer opportunities and are more likely to…
Do you have a mailing list to sign up for updates? Whatstthe ETA on the rough draft? Any chance for early access to the first few chapters? Thanks!

#314My family. Got a two year old and 7 month old. Bought our first and hopefully only house a month ago. Work remotely doing some really interesting programming. I reflected early this week during Canada Day fireworks that I have literally everything I wanted out of life. Now I just have to learn how to live in the moment and enjoy it all. That's proving to be a small struggle.
This is a great struggle for me.
I too have solved my basic needs for me and my family. But always in a conflict of enjoying the moment vs worrying about future (read career here).
Dont want to quit on either but learning to separate both.

#315Working on making knowledge sharing, onboarding, and development easier for organizations. The focus is on enabling team members to capture small chunks of knowledge (checklists, definitions, explanations, short updates).
Each chunk can be tagged and searchable (so that they’re easy to find), versioned (so there aren’t duplicates of the same information), and composable (so that they can be reused in different pieces/versions of training materials).

This is really cool! Kudos! I know CS is a great way to help improve underprivileged kids' economic status. As long as the person has certain kind of "wiring", is willing to work hard, and not giving up easily, it can bring about a bright future. So great to see someone goes extra-mile to bring this "gold-mine" forward. Hope many more people can be blessed by your book. Would love to also buy your book!

Thats an amazing story. Congrats on making it happen for the 17 kids. This is why HN is an amazing place and also why I wish there was a heart button in addition for special cases :)

#318I make paintings about programming/code. Right now I'm developing a screen print, and I wanted to build on the same abstract style I used with one-off watercolor paintings.
I decided to make my first print about rubber duck debugging. I had a lot of fun rendering a crazy hatch-mark pixelated rubber duck, but I keep going back and forth on the final layout and composition. I spent an alarming amount of time this week doodling thumbnails of ducks with different abstract backgrounds.
You can see some of my stuff here :) http://amydyer.art/wp/index.php/portfolio/technology/

#319I took the week off work to plow through Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers so that's been most of my time, haha
I'm going to see how viable it is to host a Matrix/Riot server from my house. Looks like there's going to be a hard time with SSL given that my router has its hook into Port 80 regardless of DMZ. Perhaps I can just use a self signed cert.
I would host it in a VPS but I'm looking to use the bridges for Whatsapp/FB Messenger/Telegram
