I’m working on a search engine crawled by users themselves. If I think about it, I'm not interested in 99% of the web. Therefore I don't need to deal with exhaustively crawling the entire web. Hypothetically, if I could access only the sites visited by the HN crowd, that would be fine by me. Somebody in an art community might feel similarly. If there were some metric the crawlers could use to rate a page (time spent…
One idea: any two pieces of code should be able to communicate regardless of the languages they are written in and the transport between them. It's incredibly wasteful to keep writing client libraries and bindings from scratch every time. I think this can be solved with a low-level IDL, a thin layer on top of UNIX-style byte streams.
I have a Bachelor's degree in CS. Professionally I worked on a TypeScript frontend, a TypeScript backend, and working on a Rust backend now, around three years total. I know other languages (and the project is obviously language-agnostic). I'm a big fan of interoperability.
You can find me by `kinrany` on most platforms. Feel free to contact me even if this particular thing doesn't sound interesting, and you have something else in mind instead.
Collaborate with me on million times faster software with Squeak Smalltalk software for cloud- and supercomputers. A single virtual machine image with multiple cores and petabyte per second memory access speeds. The software also scales down to M1 Max or AMD Zen 2/3 with only 400 GBps memory speeds. You can speed up simulations, search engines, datamining all science papers, machine learning, pattern matching, revers…
This sounds fascinating! In HPC environments how do the images communicate -- I'm just assuming there's some form of distributed computing going on there?

Yeah I'm thinking of contributing to and taking from Cboard. Basically I want to great an interface that uses the symbols to help a kid not just interact with peers to talk to them but also say write and send a note.

I have too many ideas for side projects I want to do. I'd love to partner (or find a mentor!) so we can focus on a single thing and see how far we can take it.

Currently developing a distributed transcoder-as-a-service to compete with the likes of AWS's Elastic Transcoder and Google's Transcoder API. By my math, I can transcode the same file in half the time and at 1/20 or so of the cost of those guys. Hoping to get into this summer's YC and looking for one or two co-founders. I am mostly a business/marketing guy who can hold his own in devops/backend, but no where near pro…

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.

this is such a cool idea. i am interested.
I'm with a friend and we're focusing on building cool SaaS projects as a way to improve our product building skills and possibly make some money. At the moment we have a HR platform that one client is using and we're looking to build other stuff - we have some ideas in the making. If anyone wants to join
