My plan is to implement my own version of a neopixel driver to learn VHDL.

#3Nothing new for me. Just trying to decouple some components from my side project from a year ago.
For those interested, this is a JS/React project.
The app is an open-source version of Alfred built on top of Electron/React -- https://github.com/vutran/dext
While it's very difficult at the moment to work on the app itself, I decided to just extract the search component to be reused elsewhere so I've started building Omnibar (https://github.com/vutran/omnibar).

Did you buy the Zync ZedBoard yourself? How much did it cost? What are the specs?

#6To be honest, the very last thing I want to do when I'm on vacation is to code...
I'm a professional software engineer, I do it enough day to day.

#7I’m playing with some weird ideas I’ve had for Q-Learning, not sure they will work, but it’s time to play. I’m finihing up some satellite imagery stuff to go into my product https://hydrachain.io/ and I bought Id spend a bit more time reading Quantum Computing since Democratis because I’m finding it quite a challenging book and I love it

#8Adding rule-based sticky routing to the Traefik reverse proxy. The idea is to write rules to route all requests matching a certain URL, query string, or HTTP header to the same backend server.
This would allow for caching or synchronization in a distributed application to happen in memory on an app server instead of always going back to the database or Redis.

You can buy it via Avnet (US distributor) for $88.99 + $8 (or so) S/H. They sent me a promotion code THXNN6W for free shipping. It is an entry level Zynq processor (single ARM core, pretty decent FPGA capabilities). It runs linux well. Remarkable learning potential for $100!

You can download the Xilinx IDE Vivado WebPack for free.
https://www.xilinx.com/products/design-tools/vivado/vivado-w...
Both Avnet and Xilinx require creating a (free) account.

#10Building a new programming language, Jaspr: https://github.com/ar-nelson/jaspr
It's not nearly done enough for its own HN post yet, but it's coming together slowly. Still working on the standard library and documentation.
