Another startup! Very excited for this one as everything aligned: feels like all of my previous adventures have led me to this point in time and space and that it's ours to lose.

That’s awesome man I have no idea how you made that well done

#33Could we make this a monthly post, just like the Who's Hiring one? I miss that aspect of HN.
Totally agree

#34Going through "Nand to Tetris" (the version that is part II on coursera). Almost got the VM to assembly translator working. (Week 8 of the course.) Should be able to finish debugging it tonight after work.
Open Library API isn't meeting your needs?
Did you reply to the wrong comment?

#35I've been continuing my study of mathematics (https://www.neilwithdata.com/mathematics-self-learner) and recently started Needham's Visual Complex Analysis which I'm really enjoying.
I've also been putting more time into competition table tennis (coaching, etc)! Am no Fan Zhendong but the backhand is coming along nicely.

#36Building an open-source self-hostable Facebook alternative called Haven[1]. Focused on posting private content, includes per-friend private RSS feeds and a built-in RSS reader. I've been using it to securely share pictures of my kids with friends and family for the last few years.

#37I don't want to be hired and I also don't have any project going on. Basically "between ideas" and desperately want to come up with something before I have to give up and get a job. It's not healthy to be idle too long.
I had a similar feeling for a long time. Today I realized that the whole Web3 movement makes much more sense than I previously thought. All the NFT and cryptocurrency stuff is just the tip of an iceberg that might result in a truly decentralized web, following up the current cloud-based centralization. So I decided to start learning more about what has been going on the past few years in that space and to start getting new ideas.

#38I'm finally reviving a little music label, mostly offline. Just mailed out the first batch of "catalogs" I printed at home (with an axidraw pen plotter, much fun to play with fluorescent inks and etc) to mostly friends and collaborators.

#39I started taking steroids two weeks ago. 500mg/week testosterone. They haven't even really kicked in yet (takes about 3 weeks to get really testosterone levels up) but I'm feeling real good and I'm really excited with all the weight gain I've had so far this year. I started at around 155 in June and today I'm up to 180. A lot of it is water weight I'm sure but I'm excited to hit over 200 in the next 5 months of my first testosterone cycle. A fair bit of that will be fat but I really want to over-eat than under-eat. I'm really happy with how I look already and I've added 2.5 inches to my biceps since June.
Testosterone supplementation is a lot safer than some people think it is. It's still not the best thing for your body and it does put stress on it, but honestly I'd put it at about the level of moderate to heavy alcohol use (depending on how you define "heavy"). Except instead of destroying your liver to get drunk you're getting muscular af and looking great.
I do also want to get hired but I posted in there on a different account :)

#40Fully generated and animated 3D news : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YFuumb1Xcs Unfortunately I just got hired so finding time to finish my project as always is proving to be difficult. My one anxiety is how on earth to market it I have no idea how to do such things. After years on hobby projects I’ve yet to make a cup of coffee. It still needs a ton of work tho so I’ll just keep plugging away.
Out of curiosity, what sort of audience do you plan to market this project to? What end goal do you want/see for it?
Really neat project by the way. It looks great! c:
