Today I'm carrying on looking for a literary agent to represent me for my young adult speculative fiction. Long after human civ collapsed, crows have evolved to speak and are undergoing their own industrial revolution when they discove

FFS, can humans not just keep creating plastic crap that'll ruin the planet. Make your own wooden spoon and you have a beautiful object created with your own hands.

Awesome! It's much easier to get into than people think. It's well worth learning how to make decent tongs, it's one of my favourite things to make, especially if you learn to punch the holes and rivet by hand. I'm learn

Sorry, I've got a long way to go before they're sellable! I'm just setting up a forge at a friend's farm to do more forging at weekends. There are a few people who want to learn and I've got a list of techniques fro

I tried being self employed for 3 years but didn't make enough money to live on. Now I'm full time employed. I don't forge that much, lots more time doing cutting, welding, grinding. I love it.

Great article! I'm a dev turned blacksmith, currently getting back into bladesmithing. Working on my perfect kitchen knife. Here's my first attempt (San mai, mild steel with recycled spring steel edge) : https://www.red

Thanks! I also wrote Tiny Solar System which is kind of KSP for 5 year olds. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2116950/Tiny_Solar_System...

I'm throwing this out there but maybe it'll catch someone's attention. I'm not your usual coder. I've been programming since the age of 10. I'm 52. I've also worked in forestry, farming, construction and I

Hmmm, interesting. Not sure if it would be much use for balloons but if you could make vacuum sections for walls then you could make super insulated walls.

Great feedback. Not offended at all. And you write wonderfully, with compassion and passion. Yes, you're right. Life throws some terrible things but a lot of those things will occur regardless of whether you're at a desk or out on

That, man, right there. Those are the moments you remember. I had jobs where I sat at a desk for a year and nothing remarkable stands out. Then there are small memories which are just epic. For me it's moments like that which make my l

Drop stuff that doesn't work. I started programming as a kid. 40 years ago. I wrote a game with a friend while we were at school. It made us a tiny amount of money for 3 years work. I dropped out of programming (several times now). I t

OP here. Haha. That's sums it up perfectly. I don't mind coming across as stupid.

OP Here, Considering how much I've played it, it still doesn't surprise me at all when I'm wrong. Glad you enjoyed it.

Yeah, things did get hectic. Still pretty busy today. The support and feedback from here was amazing though. I didn't expect that. It really helped me get through. And takeaway food. I literally posted to HN just as I was about to go s

OP here. It all came out right in the end! The server was bought to it's knees. Sysadmin thought I (as a very new customer) was up to something bad (my email address is james@rootdev.com and he feared I was a bad actor) and froze my ac

OP here. I was absolutely frazzled creating data to chuck into it. Yeah, I think the shuttle data should be correct for shuttle, external tank and boosters. And fuel. A whole lot of fuel. See robocat's answer.

OP here. Thanks! Will be testing with my 6 year old later. He actually hasn't seen it yet. Yeah, I agree. I wanted something that everyone can read and where the physical size of the number on the screen gives a great idea of the size

No way! I got the weight of a caffeine molecule right! I am so proud of myself right now. Thanks! I've got water as 3e-26 but that doesn't seem right. Water molecule x10 lighter than caffeine molecule? "The fuel weighed almos
