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.
If you learned a lot of category theory, functional programming and C++ then your productivity was not zero.
I'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…
I probably still won't be a primary coder at my startup, but at least I'll be able to make more sense of the JS that our devs write.
As a side project, I'm working on a route planning app for running. I'm a long distance runner and travel for work a lot, so I frequently find myself planning a run on one of the many existing apps at 5am in a new city whilst jetlagged. My bugbear is that all the existing apps suck. I want a way to say "give me a running route that lasts approximately 10km and is as scenic (greenery, water, mountains, etc) as possibl…
Most recently I've been training acoustic models and writing a user frontend for the wav2letter++ [2] speech recognition engine, and porting Talon from Mac to cross-platform.

This is likely my last database kernel design. I can’t think of many ways to materially improve the algorithms and design, and there are some other computer science research domains I previously went deep on that I want to get back to once I am finished with this.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
are you lifting weights and exercising? If not get on it ASAP. Revert back to the physical-activity-heavy lifestyle of our ancestors and you'll feel better
I walk a lot, but I'm thinking on start a video series with fitness exercises.
Just put your routine in a FOR-loop and grind for increased STRength and STAmina stats lol
I'm a very visual person and for a long time wished there was a browseable map of interesting places to visit and things to see and do when planning backpacking trips. I couldn't find anything that quite did what I wanted so thought I'd have a go myself.
The data itself is sourced from a combination of Wikivoyage and Wikipedia. The biggest features I'm looking to develop next are search and a way to leave reviews/comments on places and listings.
Still very early days but would love to hear any feedback.
The idea is to find a good model for predicting a time series given a set of other time series. Input is basically an excel file and output is a CSV file, expected to be delivered within a minute.
I mostly test it on power load and supply data but it should work on anything.
Also, it's free.
