Growing up as a kid in a small town I thought I knew what Chinese people sounded like, but they were mostly Australian born (China wasn't really "open" at the time). Going to France and the USA and hearing their accents was confusing. It was close enough to be familiar yet very different at the same time since the same base accent got mixed up in different ways.

Anyway, yeah. I'm also a soft speaker which is my problem, but it doesn't mean that's not a valid reason to prefer text! I don't avoid speaking to people, I just prefer not to and I find it simpler and more certain I'll get what I need that way. Others want to pick up a phone.
I'm a computer science PhD student, and I mostly maintain/create open source projects (https://github.com/lengstrom/) in the evenings for fun --- its particularly great you're working with friends!

I've never viewed it as a potential full time job. However, I recently got GitHub sponsors and make about 5$ a month!

Every woman I've met on couch surfing has been a victim of some kind of sexual harassment or violence due to someone they meet on couchsurfing. Basically they stay with a guy and he has expectations and is vocal if not forceful about it. Women would be surprised that I had a bed just for them, didn't expect them to sleep with me, didn't ask them for sex, etc. I hosted for two years living in Berlin.

That being said I also had some amazing experiences through couchsurfing.
Isn't it even worse? Does the app hosts the podcast or merely references them / plays them? More like banning a browser from the store as the browser may be used to display inapropriate content.

Alex Ellis here - the author of Inlets and OpenFaaS.

If you want to work on Open Source as a full-time career, the best option is to find a company that is working on or invested in an OSS project and join that team.

Examples: VMware contribute heavily to Kubernetes. As do Azure, and a myriad of other companies from large to small. I tried this option, it has pros and cons, if you go for this one, let's hope you like politics and corporate jargon.

The question is - what does "full time open source" mean to you? To me, it means work on independent projects. Unfortunately that alone is not financially sustainable in the long term. You may be able to drain down your savings for a few months, but then you're going to be left feeling a little down and out.

Options for independent OSS work are a little rough, read this from 2019 if you're a project lead and think that somehow the community or users will pay your way just because they use the software in critical systems, spoiler - they won't - the reason they are using your software is because it's free: https://blog.alexellis.io/the-5-pressures-of-leadership/

If you have your own projects that you want to work on, you'll need to find a revenue stream.

This is what I wrote up for those considering going independent: "What you need to know before you go freelance" - https://levelup.gitconnected.com/what-you-need-to-know-befor...

Options which clearly do not work: sponsorship, donations, asking users to support you, offering commercial support as a single-person company

Options that do work: Job at big-co (you won't work on your own projects, but theirs, or their interests). Working for yourself as an independent consultant, and taking a "pay cut" to contribute to OSS as and when you feel like it. You could also create a paid product and use this to find some "time off paid work", which is essentially what OSS is. That product could be based-upon the OSS you want to build, or not.

I do have a GitHub Sponsors account, but I run it as a value-add subscription, not as a donation platform. https://github.com/sponsors/alexellis - starting a consulting business from scratch is not easy, especially in global lock-down and a spending freeze. This, eventually may provide a buffer to pay the monthly accountancy and company costs.

Longer term plan for my business is to capitalise on product and consulting practice. Open Source will be "in the car", but not in the driving seat.

The question for you is - what do you think it means to "work on open source full-time", why do you want that and what are the alternatives?
Make Your React App a Progressive Web App-Comprehensive Intro to PWAs+Tutorial
The first path is the only way I ever got hard cash for open source. There are plenty companies that create only or mostly open source work in addition to the 2 mentioned: Igalia, Linaro, Collabora, Intel, AMD, Endless, SuSE, to name a few. Some scientific research is happening in the open source manner as well.

While none of my stuff made outside a contract ever yielded money, I also never made it a goal.

That is itself suspect, exceedingly suspect, to many people.

I needed a way to mock the trigger that would usually be sent from e.g. Github to your CI/CD system. This is what I use the Git hooks for.

The way it works is: To get the post-update hook to trigger, you have to push because post-update is triggered by git-receive-pack after a push. So this is why you create a local remote and push to it. This also mirrors the workflow when using the Kubestack framework for real infrastructure.

The goal for the local development environment was to mirror the real workflow. So that people can also use it to try the framework without having to create real cloud infrastructure.

So the hook also needs to trigger a pipeline. Because the best practice is to have the pipeline live with the code, the post-update script will checkout the pushed commit-hash to a third repository and will call the mock-pipeline shell script that's part of the checkout.

You will then see the terraform plan/apply output as part of the remote output coming from the Git push.

Ask HN: Is there a platform/system for reviewing various things?
I review movies on imdb, restaurants on google maps & Zomato.

Instead of reviewing it there, I want to post the review on my own platform / website. Basically I want control over my content. I want to review movies, restaurants, blogs, youtube channels (not a specific video, just about the creators quality & biases), podcast.

I am looking for a wordpress like software for reviewing that I can host on my own. I am looking a dmoz + delicious tag cloud combo.

Basically is there any CMS made specifically for reviewing? Is there anything like that around the internet?
This is disgusting, Google has become disgusting..

This is exactly why Google and maybe other large corporations absolutely need to get split up. I hope Trump takes action against US tech companies as he have said he would. Very few things would make me happier as an european.
Four Reasons to Change Your Software
Generally I'm for stronger data protection, but German officials relationship to WhatsApp is a bit silly, I always wonder what their conrete worry or attack scenario is. That a rouge employee at WhatsApp can see your metadata or access your telefone book? That the US government can see your metadata? Criminal and state actors have access to most of that information anyway.
This is a really tricky question, I am helping several open source projects with a huge number of stars and downloads. I did more than 500 PRs and most of them in popular projects. And I have to say a not popular phrase - in most cases, OSS is not a story about big money. Even more, it is really hard to replace a full-time job by working on OSS. After almost 3 years involving in OOS, I noticed the following things:

1. In most cases, the popular OOS project has a team in some large companies, for instance, React (Facebook), Angular
(Google), VSCode (Microsoft), etc. and that's mean that code is open-sourced however a key decision made by an internal team.

2. A donation can help you to buy a cup of coffee (or tea), however, not replace your full-time job.

3. If we are talking about Github sponsors, the idea is really good, however, if you are located in one of the following countries https://github.com/sponsors#countries, which is not my case, and I think my country won't be supported in near future.

4. To be involved in OSS is not guarantee tons of interesting job offers. In most cases, a good LinkedIn profile can be much helpful than good Github profile, and yes - to have good Github profile need to make something important every day that others can see your involvement, which takes more your spare time instead of adding several motivation phrases to LinkedIn profile for HRs.

5. OSS is a community and that's mean an opportunity to meet some interesting people.
Swedish people are far more social than any other Western country I have visited. There is no doubt in mind that the reason they are fairing without lockdown is because they can be trusted to follow health advice. I do not think many other Western countries populace can be trusted.

Discussions of consciousness tend to frustrate me a bit. So many otherwise smart people, for some reason, simply do not understand the hard problem of consciousness. They'll say things like "well, consciousness is just a given pattern of physical stuff" but they do not realize what to me is an obvious objection - to say that consciousness is equivalent to a given pattern of physical stuff does not explain why that pattern of physical stuff is not simply present without any consciousness associated with it. I can imagine a being that is physically identical to a human in every way, but is not conscious - there is no reason to think that intelligent behavior requires consciousness. So what is the difference between such a being and a conscious human, if the two are physically identical?

I absolutely agree, to the point of considering almost any materialistic (as well as theological) debate about consciousnesses pointless.

Just for fun, however: what if consciousness actually is just a manifestation of mass? (I've in fact heard a hypotheses it's a manifestation of gravity) Just trying to imagine consciousness of a mountain exceeding that of my own by orders of magnitude is an interesting experience. I imply that a consciousnesses of a different order does not necessarily has a function of acting or communicating in a way we could consider conscious.

> asking a web browser app to remove references to all the websites and social media posts

Except usually a web browser doesn't include a index of sites, You go to a another site (Google/Bing) for that. If a browser does include "recommended sites" the landing pages of those sites best keep to Google's and Apples rules. For an extreme example, If Firefox was promoting PornHub on the new tab page we could understand why Google or Apple would tell them to cut it out, but it doesn't stop you from visiting the site.

I'm not saying I agree with what Google have done here (IMO they should re-instate Podcast Addict), Just that I can see why Google could think "recommended podcasts" and podcast indexes come under the "included content" of an app.

EDIT: As others has said here, It's more like Google banning YouTube because it contains video's about covid 19 which don't come from "approved sources" (Though Google did demonetize people for talking about it and de-rank non "approved sources")
You can still be contagious without obvious symptoms. And allergy season could help spread the particles even if the virus isn't triggering coughs/sneezes itself.

Why does a general use podcast app have covid in its search keywords? Scumbag marketing tactic; kudos to google if that’s all this is over.
> There are many, many politicians who aren't bought

There are some, sure. Alexandria O'Casio-Cortez for example ran a campaign on grassroots donations lambasting politicians taking corporate donations and prioritizing their corporate constituents. But when the average U.S. senator spends 2/3 of the last 2 years of their term fundraising, I don't think this cynicism is unwarranted.

Hopefully the takeaway from my cynicism isn't that there is no hope, but that more drastic measures are needed to make real change. All these problems imply serious structural/systemic inefficiencies in our system. Simple telling people to vote has not really gotten us very far as the problem runs deeper.
No. I went to school with plenty of the clade now in power - one is a cabinet minister, another just an MP, others are Tory activists or were Tory MPs until the last election. The cabinet minister was the most profoundly racist and bigoted person in my year. I won’t repeat the kind of slurs he routinely came out with here, but I will say that he was kicked out of history, repeatedly, for saying “they got what they deserved”, when discussing the holocaust. The MP was suspended for a term for sexual assault. Yes, that’s anecdotal, but it speaks of the character of the type of person attracted to their ideology.

In more concrete terms, if you look at what is being said, privately and publicly, what is becoming policy, which dead cats are being thrown at the press, it is extremely worrying.
This isn't what phishing is. You might not like it, but that doesn't make it phishing.
Thank you, and naturally I agree. That's why I am building a GitOps framework. If there is value in building an application on top of a high-level framework like Spring Boot, Ruby on Rails or Django - and there is - then teams should not build the infrastructure and automation from scratch either.
In Germany all students including non-EU foreigners don't have to pay any tuition generally (with the exceptions being Saxony and Baden-Württemberg, per https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studiengeb%C3%BChren_in_Deutsc...).

The key difference is: our universities do not run expensive world-class sports teams (while there are amateur things such as racing, these do have an educational focus as they tend to be a side gig of the mechanics courses) and at the same time are properly financed by the state.
AFAIK Firefox sync doesn't save anything in "the cloud". It's just synced from/to your other devices. The data is also encrypted using your Firefox account password, much like what cloud-based password managers like Bitwarden do. So I don't think Firefox Sync would be a bad way to get your data transferred.
If somebody chooses to make their (complete) writing available only on their site, I can choose not to read it (and often do!) But I don't think it's right to pull it from their site and repackage it.

You might be able to make money by providing customised solutions to your clients using open source software.

If your open source product can be run as a SaaS, you might be able to make money by providing no-hassle hosting (think Ghost or WordPress).

Another option might be providing a open source core and then selling additional closed-source features (e.g. GitLab)

But if you simply want to sell your open source product to customers so they can run it themselves, then it's impossible. It's a dream for many developers and there are some success stories, but they are always the exception not the norm.

Solutions like selling support, or even worse, charging for documention, are simply unappealing to both developers and users.

There is another option - one that some open source advocates dislike: source-only products i.e. you sell you software product to customers to run them themselves. You give them the source code of your product so they can customise it to meet their needs. But the software is not open source and cannot be shared the way open source can.

There are actually lots of successful source-only products that are sustaining their creators full-time. Two examples: Craft CMS and Kirby CMS - both publish their source code on GitHub and rely on the honesty of their customers to pay (which they do). They have a thriving community of developers making plugins and extensions - proving that you can create a community of developers around a 'source-only' product.

From my experience a lot of people will not hesitate to contact you via WhatsApp even in a professional setting if they can get hold of your phone number. After this happened several times to me I made sure to have a separate phone for business where no messengers or any "social" apps are installed.

The funny side of this behavior is your client messaging you via WhatsApp but forgetting their profile picture shows them drunk emptying a giant beer shoe :D
