I built a satirical social network called shlinkedin. It started as a way for me to learn elixir and make fun of thought leadership with my roommate, and has gradually gotten bigger. It’s all open source and a ton of fun to work on. Everyone is an alter ego (think Beff Jezos or Office Spider), and it’s hilarious to see how much people commit to the characters they create. And I can’t say enough good things about work…

#912I run JQBX [1]. I have no plans to monetize it but its cool to just have it out there as a thing I made. I really enjoy the community and its a cool way to help with music discovery. It's also really rewarding to provide a meaning experience for some people out there using the web. A nice counterbalance to boring enterprise software! https://www.jqbx.fm

Thank you for your wishes. For future needs I was able to return to private health insurance which suffers from no such problem. However this cannot cover claims arisen prior to policy issue, so the subject matter remains open. No judge ruling in this court actually has public health insurance.
Well, for what it’s worth and I sincerely mean this, if there is anything I can do to help you out (medically, not legally) please let me know.

I don't think it took that much time. If you count the time involved in the regex engine though, you might get a bit closer. :-)
Thanks for all your hardwork! I've been dabbling in Rust and doing toy projects, but have years of experience in other languages. Are there any rust projects you recommend contributing to that have a good community?

#915I posted this as a show HN a few weeks ago, I maintain a small, completely free html/js game. There's no chance of it ever making money in its current form, it's just a fun waste of time with a few hundred players[0]. [0] https://wallsmash.com

Likely. The dude who developed ripgrep spent like 2 man-years on it full-time, apparently. Interesting (long, detailed) blog post about it: https://blog.burntsushi.net/ripgrep/

#920If you are a last.fm user you can use this to recalculate your weekly/monthly/yearly album listening stats based on the track count per album, which makes a difference if you listened to albums with lots of tracks.
