For the past couple of years I’ve been researching ways to write software that make it easier for newcomers to understand rather than for insiders to maintain. (https://lobste.rs/c/rue8pf https://lobste.rs/c/rue8pf) Currently as part of that larger project, I've been improving my zoomable UI for browsing program traces: https://github.com/akkartik/mu/blob/9be4a67f42/100trace_browser.cc https://github.com/akkartik/mu/blob/9be4a67f42/100trace_brow.... I plan to turn this into a self-contained tool. All it requires is for logging frameworks to start each log line with a number indicating depth. When you open it on such a log file it shows just the highest-level information, allowing you to drill down into details in specific parts of the log. I think such a UI can be a strong alternative to a debugger. Instead of running the program at interaction time you first collect a trace of the program's execution. You get time-travel debugging for a fraction of the infrastructural cost if you require manual program changes to add logging.

Scraping Gwern's darknet market dataset (https://www.gwern.net/DNM%20archives https://www.gwern.net/DNM%20archives) for my undergraduate thesis. Looking to see how police interventions affect costs of drugs on darknet markets and get a general sense of how the markets work (from an economic standpoint). I will publish a clean dataset along with my analysis once it is done.

But even now there are so many things I dont't know, Im not sure I can call myself a programmer. I dont dare to apply for jobs. So I'll not do anything more about that game because I dont believe it could earn me anything but I do have so many other things I want to do.

I am following two projects one extremely technical and another more sale oriented. The technical one is rediSQL[1] I am embedding SQLite into a redis module. Until few days ago I had performance issues that I wasn't able to figure out and I tracked everything in an issues. I finally figured out the problem, solve it, gain a lot of performance and I am about to write a blog post about. The next step is to get the exact same performance in the redis module compared with using SQLite embedded in a simple C program it is not going to be easy and I would probably defer this performance gain opportunity in favor of more features in the module. The second project, the sale oriented one, is WalOfStickers.com[2] where I try to sell hexagonal stickers for laptop. I like to show the technology that I work with and make my laptop mine, but I don't like that the more sticker you put the messier everything became, so I made these hexagonal sticker that you can tile in your laptop and make neat, complex patterns.

  Have you thought about selling stickers for tech conferences. Could be a nice way to get bulk orders.
  - siscia 10y ago
    Hummm, what you mean? I thought about send some free sticker to the conference to make myself some marketing. However I could also make the sticker with the logo of the conference and maybe send along also some related stickers... That was your idea? It is actually quite interesting...
    - bbcbasic 10y ago

    - tedmiston 10y ago
      Yeah, something like being able to know when over the course of the summer, say perhaps 3 months, temperatures in Miami are warm but not excessively hot. I really like to travel at the tails of top season for this reason, but that's really just a proxy in place of knowing the above. Lonely Planet offers something like this [1], but it would be nice if the data were more granular than one high/low for each month and data sources were more transparent.
