I'm looking for an accountability partner to meet with for 30 minutes once per week for the next few months over Zoom. I have a cert that I'm working towards completing and am procrastinating on. The way it goes is we schedule a weekly meeting where I tell you what I'm going to have completed by our next meeting, and then you do the same. At the next meeting we ask each other how that went and repeat. It's honest and…

Just in case no one takes you up on this (and I know it's not quite as good) focusmate.com has helped me in the past!

It's surprising at the end of the day just how much one can accomplish with consecutive sessions on focusmate. But then I'll forget about it and go a month or more before I use it again. Great call out.

I am a DevOps engineer by day and hack around various technologies by night. I can design and work on backend and a bit of frontend. Looking to work on something in the side. I also have few ideas which have no concrete plan. If interested my mail in the about section of my profile.

I'm building a open source Raylib's binding for Elixir, to be the base of 2D/3D games in elixir (yes, I know that elixir is not the best language for that, but its something that would be cool to do with Erlang's VM regardless)

Link: https://github.com/shiryel/rayex

The project's architecture is already ready to use, it just needs more functions implemented from Raylib and I need to figure out how to make it work on MacOS (see issue #7)

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Can you say what left you confused? I'm surprised, I thought https://github.com/catern/rsyscall is pretty self-contained and self-explanatory (if unclear on what exactly rsyscall is useful for), and I thought http://catern.com/integration.html is quite detailed (perhaps excessively so).

I understand the problem and the use-case, but what does your library provide? Running processes remotely? Supervising remote processes? Transparently running Python functions in remote processes?

>Running processes remotely? Supervising remote processes?

These things. This is mentioned in http://catern.com/integration.html#thread

If anyone here happens to like both C (C99) and raytracing, I've been working on c-ray[1] for a while now. It's your average pathtracer, but has some nice features such as clustered network rendering, a really fast BVH and an up-and-coming node-based material system. Scene descriptions are expressed as JSON. I'm looking into building a Blender plugin to be able to use it from there. Coding style is what I prefer - code should be dumb and simple, using nothing more than basic control flow, structs and functions. C suits this goal very nicely.

If you're interested - Piano Gym is looking for others who are interested in building out our existing website and tools Here's a quick video explaining it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faxNDhOjlh4 Piano Gym is a learning and practice ecosystem focused on prioritizing music theory and performance skills acquisition through the use of flash cards. We use flash cards in order to pair them with modern learning techni…

This looks really cool! I've been a pianist for 15 years, but most of that time, my practice has been in swings - a week with dozens of hours of practice, a month with none. I've been looking for a more incremental approach for me to practice daily.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!

Yeah. I made Piano Gym because I've seen several solutions for Piano/Music Theory and at the end of the day I really think having people create curriculums and setting progression while managing it is the best approach for intentional practice between autodidacts/teachers/learners.

One of the cool things is that we have a flash card creation tool that will automatically chop a piece of sheet music into flash cards of 1/2/3/n measures at a time so that you can make flash card sets to deliberately practice sections of a song. It's really cool! I'm still on the fence of how to leverage this effectively for learners, but I've been thinking about the idea of making 1 measure flash card sets, 2 measure, 3 measure, and then the full piece. In many ways I can do anything with Piano Gym and that's the problem for me now

So this offers capabilities like `multiprocessing` but possibly across the network, e.g. queues and shared memory? Can it spawn the remote processes too? With SSH, or its own system?

You keep pointing me to that document that you feel is compelling, but all it does is explicitly run a Python function in a local thread... I know it's meant as a shortcut in the example but it's hard to infer what the real capabilities are, when what you're doing is not much more than what `trio` or stdlib can do.

I'm working on computational chemistry, with the very long-term (decades) goal of designing molecules (proteins/enzymes) for things like artificial photosynthesis and molecular computing (chips still rely on the bulk properties of semiconductors; for miniaturization to continue, at some point it will become necessary to design molecules to function as logic and interconnect).

This may be the edge of what is off topic, but I’ve looked for a long time. I’ve worked on a compiler for a HM type checked language for a while. Since September last year I’ve been stuck trying to implement tagged unions (such as Maybe). I’ve got all other features. I’m looking for a tutor who would write a type checker with me in a screen sharing session. I’m located in Dalarna, Sweden atm, but can do any timezone…

What language are you developing in? Is the project code up somewhere? No payment necessary, but I'd be happy to do a videocall with you. I've implemented tagged unions once, albeit with a very different syntax: https://akkartik.github.io/mu1/html/033exclusive_container.c... (this is a Literate format that eventually tangles into C. The `scenario` blocks show what code in the language would look like. Though none of…

I’m writing it in OCaml, and for prototyping I like to make mini languages in a single file - just a definition of type and expression and a typeof function.

Thanks for the offer! Sending you an email :-)

Cool sounding project, are you thinking of this as a hardware project or something that would run through a browser or as a stand alone app? Also what kind of art do you make? Im an artist working as a dev as well. I know we're out there but we're a bit rarer than I was expecting.

I'm thinking it'd be an app running on android/ios atm. Kids typically seem to gravitate to an 'app' and something running in a browser could lead to unexpected consequences if a parent wants to protect their kids from the greater web. I'd like for it to run in a browser if needed but it'd be easier for a kid to manage as an app. Look at youtube kids app as an example. As for art I love watercolor, gouache, ink and b…
