We are building a social network that makes it simple for people all over Africa (Niger) to find, organize, and share events, such as underground music performances, street festivals, local markets, and cultural gatherings. We are creating something that is accessible to all, supports grassroots communities, and honors local culture.

This platform is entirely self-funded and was created with passion, hard work, and faith in our goal. However, at this point, even modest assistance, such as paying for our internet, can have a significant impact on future advancement.

Find me on LinkedIn if this speaks to you or if you would like to work with me, grow together, or just have a conversation. Connecting would be wonderful.

One community at a time, we can work together to illuminate Africa's events landscape.

Hi,

I'm currently exploring game development and would love to contribute to your team as an intern. Although I have no prior experience in game development, I bring over five years of experience as a FullStack JavaScript Developer, with strong skills in UI/UX design and a passion for learning new technologies.

Could you please let me know if there are any internship opportunities available? I am very interested in MaFi Games.

Thank you for considering my request.

I've developed a GPT named commitCRAFT, designed to generate commit messages based on the output of the 'git diff' command. So far, it has proven to be quite useful.

Though many developers may not prioritize deploying the same backend across multiple architectures, the platform independence offered by WebAssembly and WCGI can still be advantageous for migration, development efficiency, and keeping up with changing tech trends(serverless, edge computing)

Platform independence: WebAssembly allows you to compile code once and run it on any platform supporting it, saving time and effort when deploying applications across various servers compared to dealing with platform-specific binaries.

Another aspect to consider is portability. WCGI, built on open standards like WebAssembly & CGI, allows for easier adoption of security improvements/updates across different platforms & environments. Definitely worth exploring alongside read-only Docker containers!

Full disclosure, I work at the company behind WCGI, but I truly believe this is a groundbreaking development that will have a significant impact on the industry.

This is genuinely exciting - the prospect of running Wordpress without the usual security concerns is a game-changer. WCGI seems like it could really disrupt the server-side development landscape. Can't wait to see what other applications will benefit from this technology!

New comment by smiletondi in "Ask HN: What's your proudest hack?"

smiletondi — Tue, 13 Dec 2022 04:03:18 +0000

My proudest hack would have to be when I figured out how to bypass the administrator password on my parent's computer. I had been trying to access certain programs and files that were restricted, and after some research and trial and error, I was able to successfully hack into the administrator account without them knowing. It was a satisfying feeling to finally have access to everything on the computer. It was the Windows XP era.
