#292I am working on analyzing this data to figure out the usage patterns, interesting stats about processes such as cpu intensive vs, memory intensive processes etc. Also trying to map the activity to the time of day, day of week, month etc.
I am hoping this will turn out to be useful in particular because the year 2020 turned out to be interesting.
Once done, I am hoping to anonymize and publish the data on the web for anyone to do finer analysis.

#293I’ve got pages of ideas but little code so far because I keep getting overwhelmed about UI ideas. This is as big a challenge as you could hope for simplicity. The little code I do have is me playing with an endpoint that can do text to speech so I can relay arbitrary info to her via speech as needed (weather, memos, etc) but there’s a git repo and some notes if anyone wants to sign up to kick me in the ass every week or so.

#295An aggregator ala reddit/hackernews/twitter that uses a market mechanism to better incentivise content discovery. One of the biggest issues with existing aggregators is that: - how well content performs is dependant on the attention it gets immediately after posting. - However, readers aren’t incentivised to sift carefully through new content, which is generally of lower quality than "frontpage" content - This means…
Interesting concept and I think it’s definitely worth the experiment! If I understand the premise, what you’re trying to avoid is a hub effect (the rich getting richer) becuase traditionally users see messages already curated (e.g. with highest upvotes) and the idea is to replace that with an incentive for discovering new content. Unless you have a way to define new content, wont you run into the same problem but now…
There's still a threat from meme-worthy content though. Honestly, I think this comes down to the initial community setting expectations that meme-worthy content will be shorted into oblivion, and reinforcing that culture.

#297I’m quite the coffee snob but still find it easy to just grab a bag at the grocery store even though I much more enjoy freshly roasted coffee than something that’s sat on the shelf for months.
I’m not quite ready to launch but hope other coffee drinkers will find some use out of it at least

#299I’m building a web service that scales up video using NNs (GANs) https://upscale.app There’s some sort of an proof-of-concept up and running, currently trying to speed things up, and lower the AWS costs. Let me know if anyone is interested in beta access.

#300That is, I'm not optimizing for execution time, I'm optimizing for time between reading the problem statement and having a working solution. As far as I'm aware, there aren't any existing languages in this space. There are plenty of "code golf" languages, which optimize for shortest finished program, but that's slightly different. Based on the top AoC solvers, the closest thing today is Python -- but we can do so much better!
Currently, the language is very immature, but it can solve a handful of AoC problems. But before long, I'll need to tackle a very big problem: building an IDE around this thing. See, for a language like this, the syntax is only half the battle. Ideally, when I type something like `| map (*2)`, I should have instant visual feedback showing me how the input is affected by this change. Not to mention more traditional IDE features, like suggesting functions based on the type under the cursor.
I don't have anything public to share yet, but if you're interested in collaborating (esp. on the IDE), feel free to shoot me an email.
