#302https://nyan.global An EVM disassembler and formal smart contract verifier (got bored, abandoned) https://atomictessellator.com Current project - small molecule chemistry simulation platform (no marketing, passion project)
Do either of your websites work? They look cool. Do you have any contact details? Twitter?
Yes both work, the GUI for nyan is nearly complete, it allows inspecting the basicblocks and control flow graph of the smart contract
atomictessellator is about 90% functional, you can run experiments, simulations, and view results, it's probably "OK" to launch as a general product, but I'm really working on more advanced catalyst modelling right now.
The distributed computing parts are working, I've partnered with a few hosting providers that have given me free computing power and the systems are running molcular optimizations now, and every few days I pull the results back locally and import them.
I'm really excited about this stuff because there's so much opportunity for industrial optimisation in mastering small molecule chemistry, and existing tools are very poor and very silo'd
I dont use twitter, you can email me alain [at] atomictessellator dot com

Online technical leadership training courses
Kinda in this catch-22 where I need the people paying to feel motivated to finish it, but people don’t want to pay for a half finish set of courses with no promise it will get done!

#304I have made a process for doing pen drawings involving bitmap to SVG conversion. It's called Robot Draws You! and it's been in perpetual limbo for the past few years as my career has struggled and cratered. I just don't have the time to be able to focus on a creative endeavour when I feel like my world is crumbling around me. I've written multiple versions of the bitmap to SVG converter, I have an XY robot gantry set…
I'm sorry about your career - this must have been difficult to write about. Sometimes it's about the journey, take solace that you just might be in a temporary dip in your life adventure. How can some of these setbacks be opportunities?
I'm not sure how a loss of free time, loss of mental stability and potential loss of everything I've achieved thus far in life are "possible opportunities".
Bad things happen to good people. There is no fairness in life or the world. Either you have impressed some rich people and are privileged to enjoy life, or you suffer because nobody fucking cares and nobody is coming to save you.
So far the only good thing to come of the current trash fire of my life is that I quit drinking alcohol. I am still a mess / wreck of a human being but at least I'm more coherent and aware of how bad everything sucks. Really makes me want to drink.

#305Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yep. Chicken and egg problem. The idea is that they come into such broad usage that everyone just knows what an 0x code is.
Or make your SEO good so that when people inevitably Google search, your result is first.
0xSOMETHING is just a single word so that will usually not find something unless they have an index with all the generated codes, which is something they probably don't want.

#306I made PHONK https://phonk.app It is a very easy-to-use self-contained JS framework for prototyping and making stuff with Android devices. You can access sensors, NFC, bluetooth, MQTT, websockets, or write a simple UI with a couple of lines of code. Think in the terms of easiness of Arduino for Android When people try it they always say WOW "why have I never heard of this?!" ( probably because I'm very bad at marketi…
I haven’t try it yet but I hope it works
