This is my first time learning of the term Building In Public. However a few weeks ago I discovered and fell in love with the GitLab Handbook, and the term I've been using to proselytize to my teammates (lol) was "Open Source Company" or "Documentation as Company."

Of course, GitLab doesn't share everything, and certainly not Money as a Dashboard (you will find live dashboards scattered throughout the Handbook, though). As with most things I've read, they are very transparent and intentional about the decisions they've made to make certain data public vs. limited access vs. internal.

Open Sourcing accounting internals about a for-profit business always seemed to me a non-starter. Interesting that other companies have experimented with that business model
If Google ever thinks you're doing something suspicious, they'll just make you authenticate using a physical device instead, by way of Android functionality they never told you about or asked you about using. Hopefully they won't demand you authenticate on a device that's defunct.
My side project is built around a major hack, overriding the pause action on your headphones. Pressing pause will shift from music to podcasts and vice versa. For reference: https://shiftfm.app I made this (with my friend) because we often shift between podcasts and music during workouts, and its just super nice to be able to do it without using your phone.
well, i find this opinion to be shallow, uninsightful, and not really amounting to being "criticism"

these pieces look actually really interesting, and the way the shapes are sculpted show sculptor's character, which is the most fascinating part. it looks like it's moving only in linear way along the three axes, so i'm left wondering what sculpts would look like were they done with more curved, smoother motions.

one thing image-based AI lacks is spatial, three-dimensional understanding of the things, scenes, and of the world. this looks like a nice step towards three-dimensional creation. and hopefully, on this journey, people creating those AI would be more mindful and wary of exploiting other people's works.
> And in my experience it leads to much better results than whatever Twitter and YouTube are doing.

The main reddit subs might as well be resonance chambers, there's not one dissenting view that gets enough visibility anymore. Say what you will about Twitter, but the recent ownership changes have helped fight against that (Twitter was also mostly a resonance chamber). YT has managed to remain relatively dissenting the whole time, I don't know how.
In a world where 2 years of experience can make you 'senior', I could understand that someone who went for a 2 year MS instead of BS + 2YOE would think they are on the same level.
Interesting. The github repo seems to be an indirection for the purpose of this post to the actual repo which has the software. Would have been nice that you just used the actual github link. I discovered some other interesting things in the main repo - CI/CD, GitOps, governance related features. Would be nice that other viewers can also discover them. Those are definitely a big requirement for most teams starting their journey on kubernetes. But anyways, looking forward to trying this out myself soon.
Yep, if the trips > 3 days, then facilities like fitness (a gym, etc) really become requirements as opposed to "nice to haves" at a hotel.
I agree, things like nuclear reactor controls are areas where actual software engineering is (or should be) applied.
Everyone would be participating in governance, sometimes because they were on a council, other times because they were part of democratic processes. People wouldn't master opaque bureaucracies, but we should be eliminating those as much as possible. It's also my experience that there's never a shortage of opportunities to practice leadership and decision making when you're working with other people in a real world environment, where unforseen circumstances are constantly forcing your team to react and adapt. It's also my observation that when there is a problem, most people's instinct is to get everyone who's expertise are relevant into a room, discuss the relevant facts, and make a decision by consensus - if you leave people to their own devices, they reflectively form a direct democracy.
When the shortages bit hard, and people were fighting over c̶a̶n̶d̶l̶e̶s̶ toilet paper and sugar this last covid lockdown.. that's how people started behaving during the winter of discontent, in my memory.

I think the nurses are safe in that regard. There's a lot of sympathy. But anyone else may well suffer a backlash, because of the inconvenience effects.

During successive firemen and ambulance strikes I remember a lot of people saying "they shouldn't be allowed to" which I found odd. Public support evaporates very quickly. (Edited: candles was 1973)

Capitalism depends on allocating capital goods to their long-term highest and best use. While this may often involve what is effectively a power hierarchy, there's nothing necessary or inherent about this. Many observers would say that large hierarchies in real-world economies are an outcome of undue government influence, for example.

How did you find your niche?
Oh my dear lord I didn’t think I’d actually disagree with the f’ing article but I had like 8 cases today that made me wish I had a built in if-not keyword! I mean, every language with the billion dollar mistake probably needs a language feature designed to pay back some of that.
Same with wind, "you must pay a fine if you kill a bald eagle", but if you slowly kill all of them with pollution, that's free.

"The fly ash emitted from burning coal for electricity by a power plant carries into the surrounding environment 100 times more radiation than a nuclear power plant producing the same amount of energy."
Tennis isn’t pro or bust, though. There are viable career options that make tennis your life if you really want that. You could coach (whether coaching a competitive player or team, or giving lessons at a clubhouse), you could be a tennis writer, you could work adjacent to tennis like designing or selling equipment, etc.

Tangentially, I’ll add that trying and failing to become a pro gamer is very different than failing to become a streamer. At least if you’re playing competitively, you have to move beyond shit talking your opponent. There’s a lot of coordination and communication required if you’re playing a team game. Any game requires a ton of dedication and focus, and a level of creativity within the confines of the game, all of which are valuable and transferable skills. Sitting and playing games by yourself while waiting and hoping someone stops by to watch you doesn’t teach you much.
As a general rule: expect nothing much at all from people between (roughly) Dec 21st and January 4th.

It is a 2 week period where fuck all tends to get dome because somebody, somewhere is on PTO or otherwise unavailable.
I am always so inspired when someone posts open info like this. But as everything is in life, we cant have nice things because of few assholes that ruin it for everyone :(
Guess it's Binance' stable coin. It does seems a little strange, do they convert all their assets to their own stable coin? :O

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/binance-usd/
~ Same thing as USDC but issued by Binance. They use them interchangeably in some cases since they themselves can also convert them 1:1 (both are worth 1$) just not immediately- e.g. if you have 100 busd you can straight cash that out as usdc and that might temporarily make it so they have less usdc than needed.

People post when Binance have generic delays to withdraws for years in other forums and it's a non-story. I imagine it only made it on the front page because people think it means more than it does.
BUSD is another stable coin pegged to USD, like USDT and USDC.

What they're saying is that you can't withdraw USDC, but you can withdraw any of the other two.

Interesting to see these cards have a decent performance on a bunch of games under Linux with existing drivers.

I suppose it shows the investment split between platforms, where Nvidia win on Windows and AMDs fully OSS strategy working out on Linux.

I guess fixes for AMD based platforms like the Steam Deck help these newer cards too
I experienced the same issues and to me the main culprit appears to be the dumpster fire that is the ongoing transition to ES2015 modules.

Also Node v18, while full of new, important features(like the built-in test runner) feels... kinda unstable? I had to downgrade to v16 because I had segfaults. Also had to make it use jemalloc due to memory leak issues when it used the default allocator.

I went into this platform specifically not to deal with such problems.
True - nowadays, `Eight Megabytes Always Continuous Swapping` is a feature, not a bug...

It seems like you’re downplaying the importance of teamwork in sports. There are very few who succeed in sports who aren’t team players. Most of them fizzle out before we ever hear about them.

Otherwise, I agree.

>did a subathon where each new sub extended the time he continuously streamed by a little. He ended up streaming for 30 days.

This isn't really an achievement on its own when many big names stream every day anyway, and they draw huge amounts of money playing into psychological factors to do it. Subathons are predominantly just ways to prey on people's weaknesses and use hype to get more money and exposure. The quality of the streamer also suffers massively.

And that really shows the heart of it all: dark patterns, softcore sexual pandering and 'metas' have a strong hold on the market, leaving very little for what streaming used to be 10-15 years ago. Twitch being the biggest and having strong reinforcing mechanics doesn't help, either.

Except that only a moron would ask those questions in a vacuum like Sorkin did without a single follow up. He didn't challenge a single one of his answers when there is so much evidence against the lies he spewed. It's really not that hard to understand, but sure go ahead deny this was anything but grade-A journalism, if you're a NYT fanboy you'll find a way.

It's as if SBF lawyers handed NYT a list of questions to ask and nothing more.
I empathise with the comments about copycats.
I made a web game and initially put it up on github pages. It was inspired by a similar web game which had been abandoned and I wanted to add features etc so I re-created it from scratch.

Within a week it was cloned and put up on a nice domain with a different logo and the copycat was impersonating me on social media and ranking quite well on Google. It's no longer open source. The copy cat site now has adverts up and links to a network of copycat web games. Many copy cat sites are now embedding my site proxied (to avoid CORS) and surrounded with adverts. These sites rank really well on Google because the copy cat sites link to each other. The game is at https://redactle-unlimited.com if you want to check it out. I haven't made a life changing amount from donations but it actually might be a significant amount for people in poorer economies.

The bottom line is that you need to have a moat by having a trusted brand or database/codebase that can't be imitated.
When my father suddenly passed away, he left a laptop protected with a BIOS password. I wanted to restore and use the laptop myself.

I bought a broken spare off Ebay, opened it up and found something that looked like an EEPROM (a 24cXX 8 pin chip) on the motherboard. With terrible SMT soldering skills, I swapped the chips and I was in. It's a pretty cool buzz when you're 19 years old. I guess the contact knowledge from my father, an electronic engineer specialized in Microchip microcontrollers, helped a lot.

Also, deeply antisocial follow-up: my father was working on a project for a company, and was deeply underpaid and died poor. I knew they wanted his hard drive to get the source code, so I made a backup, shredded it multiple times with random data and prepended the string "CrYpT" at the start. I gave it to them, said it was encrypted and I could do nothing about it. Last I heard (this was almost 20 years ago) they sent it off to an expensive data recover facility but they could not recover anything.

Sorry Dad, but fuck them. Pay your engineers.
PeerTube is a free, decentralised and federated video platform, and a part of the fediverse, meaning you can interact with it via Mastodon and other tools, thanks to the ActivityPub protocol.

There is only one paid developer, working for the French non-profit Framasoft – and I think it's important to share this in non French-speaking spaces.

If their PAX/BUSD -> USDC conversion only works during the opening hours of that New York bank, wouldn't this be well-known to everyone who tried to convert to USDC in the past?

As in, what "situation" are they talking about? Going only from their tweet, there is nothing out of the ordinary happening at all...

Content creator with half a million subscribers does not receive $20k+ worth of ad revenue due to a technical issue Youtube admits was their fault and out of the creator's hands. After months of back and forth between Youtube support and the creator, support declares they will not reimburse creators due to monetization bugs and refuses to reimburse the creator for the lost revenue.

This whole thing is eurgh. Yes, this business is toxic for creators, but it's largely toxic for creators because it's monetizing a toxic product. Twitch is like a low cost off-ramp for having friends. The better, well adjusted version of twitch is that you log on to xbox, playstation or PC, hit up your friends and play some games and chat. That's the ideal. Then everything tumbles out from there, people without the time, social skills or inclination log on to twitch and form parasocial relationships instead. As a Twitch streamer that's the job you're doing. So it's not surprising when if you don't turn up, people tune out - they came to you because you aren't flakey like their real friends. You have to provide the social interaction and the dependability they need. If you're not doing that, you don't get paid.

Arguing about how Twitch streamers are treated is like arguing how Uber drivers are treated. The business is exploitative by nature, do you know how to not get exploited by Uber? Don't be an uber driver. There is no world in which Uber exists and Uber drivers aren't exploited. Similarly there is no world that exists in which Twitch streamers and viewers aren't exploited, because as a business it's only mode of operation is exploitation.
Over on the other side of the iron curtain “engineer” was/is a title that is earned formally in college. Being an engineer in this culture means something more than a job title.

I can see though how this would be an issue - in my experience there is a significant difference in quality between developers who just learned how to program on their own, and the developers who hold that engineering degree.
Technical note out of purely personal experience: platforms suck at managing subscriptions (ux-wise) when you’re a viewer, so I unsubscribe if there is no content for a while.

I don’t do this for websites. I have hundreds of bookmarks which I reorganize a couple of times a year and may visit when I have nothing to do. But I never had hundreds of e.g. youtube subscriptions, because youtube ui just sucks. I cannot categorize them. I cannot pin them down in the list that they bs_sort() randomly so you can’t find things. It’s basically useless and only serves as a pile.

And if you dare to subscribe-as-a-bookmark, it will pile up your feed as well.

No surprise then I keep it at 15 channels max and remove those that I have no reason to visit in just a week. I watch some of the top streamers / video makers occasionally without subscribing, because of that. I just remember them and watch when I remember to. But when you’re smaller than 0.01% it means you basically lost a viewer.

This doesn’t apply to twitch exactly, but still in the same category. I’ve visited it for a while and left because it sucks even more as a webapp.
It's partly a solution, but doesn't help when the 'enviroment' (OS, Node, compiler toolchains used in dependencies) has moved on and is no longer compatible with the old version-pinned npm packages, the same problem also exists in other programming ecosystems (just maybe not as extremely - but I have the same bad experience each time I want to write a blog post, because Jekyll usually breaks after a macOS update).

It's not Javascript or Node.js or NPM which is the problem though, but the 'culture' of offloading every little detail into its own dependency, nothing in the Javascript ecosystem technically requires this approach.
I kind of had hopes the Bahamas are moving fast. As a tax haven, and arguably black money haven, you cannot have people abusing your lax financial regulations by stealing other peoples money, can you? After all, all the money people are parking at your banks teust you that it will still be there later. Also, in order to keep your freedom you have to keep the US authorities, and the EU, of your back.

Still surprised they moved that fast, I thought they'll wait for a demand from the DoJ.

Edit: According to vice.com, the US asked for his arrest.
I think what is interesting here is that they clearly don't have 1:1 USDC reserves. And as their compliance has been questioned by many in the past might be that they might not be able to convert large amounts of BUSD to USDC, not at least cheaply.
Just to help people out. If you can't write out the title as a conditional statement in Ruby, you're not the intended audience. Though it still may be interesting as a discussion in conditionals in general.
Good luck with that. We are now mostly a remote company but we still pay top rates for the best employees, some of whom like to come in to the office every day, some work from home 50% of the time, some come in one day a week and some work pretty much full time remote. All are in Europe (most in the UK) so we don't suffer from timezone issues or all the pitfalls of extreme offshoring that has plagued every project I've seen that has ever tried it.

I think you're going to need a lot of luck, because I doubt your approach will work.
Yes they do, they announced it a while back. It is certainly interesting way to handle customer assets.
Cool. I did something similar with an old C program from the 80s by Peter Langston called Riffology, which was the algorithm used to generate the procedural music in Ballblazer.

I pasted the C files into Eclipse, deleted some `register` keywords, made a bunch of tweaks, and it ran fine as Java.

There are two major issues with "missing shipping"

1. More often than not the feature or the dev that holds thing back. It's the unknown, or didn't think of side effects. Like walking the coast of California in 2 weeks. If you don't hit a river or bit of beach that's been eroded away, or a cliff, you're good.

2. As you said metric take a while to figure out. Lets say we give Comp Sci a 10th of the time to figure out metrics as we've had at sales. So.. we should be all set in say 500 years :)
The Oroville Dam in California had a failoure in 2017 leading to the evacuation of 188,000 people. Who paid for that? See for example [0], were a very low estimate ends up around 1 billion with the Federal Emergency Management Agency expecting to pay around 75% of that. Who and what funds that department?

When a company files for bankruptcy the result is a legal process where the company seeks relief from debt. PG&E caused California second biggest wild fire named "Camp Fire" which destroyed 1,329 structures, and burned 963,309 acres, with an estimated cost of $16bn. The next year they caused a second wild fire, and yes they did get sued for that. They are estimated to have caused over 40 wild fires.

In the bankruptcy filing that got accepted by the judge they might be paying $13.5 billion for all of the wildfires, with half of that being paid as "stocks" in the company (for how much that is worth). All the remaining costs of the wildfires will be carried by the victims. Since September 30 this year the total amount PG&E has actually paid is $5.08 billions.

If one of Californias nulcear power plant would explode tomorrow with the effect of 40 wild fires then the result would be identical to PG&E. They would be sued, they would file for bankruptcy, and then a portion of the true costs will be paid out. That is reality regardless of what you thought it was.
