Ergomake: www.ergomake.dev

Every time you open a pull-request, we give you a link to a preview environment.

Think Vercel previews, but for everything.

The setup takes a few seconds because we simply pick up a docker-compose file from your GitHub repo — if it runs on your machine, it will run on Ergomake.

We've got a working product, and we're now implementing billing and setting up free trials.

If anyone is interested in chatting, I'd be happy to talk through what we do at lucas.costa at getergomake dot com (or fill out the form on the website — no sales person will email you, it'll be me, an engineer, I promise).
Conversely, I’ve had this experience:

- show up with 5 people and bikes 30 minutes before the train leaves with no reservation. They see that we have more bikes than the standard 4 on the train and hook up a special bike storage car with ~50 bike racks that require nothing more than hanging your bike on it.

- get on train.

- get off at destination and go to bike car where they give you your bikes and off you ride.

Not to say thats every time I’ve ridden a train with a bike but its happened more than once.
It's a very careful balance haha. I mostly just do spreadsheet updates on my phone at this point. I've got a very delicately balanced laptop next to the rocking chair, so I basically use a pillow to support the baby in one arm, and work with the other.

It's been an _incredibly_ slow process, as you might imagine :p
IIRC, Larrabee eventually morphed into the Phi accelerators (knights mill, bridge, etc.). They hung out in the market for a while, and I think the last iteration was shifted to be more deep learning focused, but I don't think they ever got much traction.

I agree, it's unfortunate - I'd love it if someone could challenge NVidia's dominance of ML at least a bit.
Pretty well played by Hindenberg.

This rout directly benefits their short position.

cmd-K is better than 'clear' on the Mac for me. 'clear' just clears the visual display.

If I'm about to do something that's going to spew lines out, and I want to be able to search the results easily, cmd-K will clear the screen and the history, so the scrollbar represents the output of that single command.
Yes, quantity is a quality all its own.
PoachMe.Dev: https://www.poachme.dev/#/devLand?reqCode=HNGOBRRR

Premise: Recruiters spam left and right, so we decided to create a website just so they could get a familiar calendar-like interface but asked them to pay for your time. As soon as we exposed the external version with the URL, we decided to make an automated template ("Great. Please book a slot on my calendar and we can chat more about this. You'll receive my resume upon confirmation of the booking. https://bk.poachme.dev/Lazaro"). After that we ended up creating a virtual business card service so that could easily create a web presence without going through a different service (https://bk.poachme.dev/kBMf).

Availability: Web

Price: $0

Cost: Nearly nothing, it just sits with my other hosted services.

Why do it? Honestly, asking someone to pay for your time is the easiest way to see who values your time. The cost to send a single spam message to thousands of developers is nearly zero and it takes time to sort through the messages to see if there's anything good. I have had experiences going from blackmail all the way to people disclosing the actual salary for the position without any money exchanging hands which proves that when your time has value it's suddenly possible for the pay bracket for a position to appear.
At Google there is an internal stack overflow-ish system so that questions have a focal point. You need a modern FAQ system to deduplicate work as much as possible. 30 different people wandering into a slack channel asking the same question is such a waste of everyone's time! Lesson learned is you can't live without it!

I'd recommend also taking a look at Loom. They replace meetings with video recordings so you can avoid meetings, with less overhead, and get more information shared.

Go Transit: https://gotransitapp.com/

I've built and maintain website + iOS + Android apps for public transit for several small municipalities that don't have a good solution. I usually end up adding cities if I visit there and an unhappy with their app offering.

Most of these municipalities use a smaller 3rd party vendor for tracking their buses, but often, the user facing application is sorely lacking. My applications utilize the same data, but try to:

1. Have a simple interface for quickly tracking buses
2. Have a simple interface to see times at your stops
3. Be specific to the city/transit agency. Most of the 3rd party vendors don't white label their apps, so somehow you have to know to download the My Stop app for Birmingham, AL, even though searching the App Store for Birmingham won't bring that app up. Once you have the app, you then have to find your transit agency.

Currently, I support Availtec, RouteShout, and TransLoc.

This was originally built for me in Birmingham, and I slowly expanded it as I visited other cities.

A group calling themselves "Guerilla Skeptics" have worked to bias Wikipedia against what they consider badthought. E.g. they deleted the page of a certain author because they feel he's a kook. (Granted, he is pretty kooky by some standards, but that's not the point, eh? He's still on in Germany though if you're curious. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_R._Hawkins the point is that in English WP he's been erased (not to say "cancelled", eh?) not because he's not notable, but because his work offends a fringe group of fanatics.)

Discord and Slack Notifications for Terminal Commands

Nudge Notifier: https://NudgeNotifier.com

Availability: MacOS, Slack, Discord.

Why:

- Builds at my current monolithic architecture employer take forever and I often notice failed builds too late.

- I don't like pausing Seinfeld to go check on my terminal.

- Developer Productivity is on a lot of companies' minds and Nudge pings developers when they can resume their work.

- Reminded me of https://xkcd.com/303/

Features:

- Effortless mobile notifications for long-running terminal commands.

- It'll even notify you when your builds running over ssh finish execution without installing it on the ssh target.

I use this tool myself daily as my main search tool inside MSVC. I built it because I was frustrated with how slow other tools were, and before I built this I would use ag in my console instead.

I've sold one copy, but I solved my own problem so I'm happy!

I’ve been teaching myself Spanish over the last two years, primarily through Duolingo but increasingly been branching out into other stuff like Netflix and newspapers. Also in the process of making a bilingual blog to practice my writing skills and will likely end up taking lessons in iTalki or something similar.

Decided to learn Spanish as I dislike England and want to move somewhere warm and sunny. Spanish is spoken widely across the Americas so figured it would be a good choice to learn.

After I’ve mastered Spanish, I’m thinking about learning either German or French. I’d like to be able to speak Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Italian. I’ve done a fair amount in each language on duolingo but I‘ve definitely devoted more of my time to Spanish than any of the others. I’m finding it more beneficial to stick to mastering one rather than flitting between different languages every few months like I used to.
But at software engineer salaries, it's not that expensive to get legal advice for this. I did it once, when a company I'd worked at for over a decade was bought out, and insisted everyone sign onerous contracts including broad IP assignment. I read the contracts carefully, marked them up with specific questions, and spent $300 on a half-hour consult with a lawyer, who said it was pretty much all enforceable in my state. (So I left the company, which worked out fine.)
Complete bullshit. The patients are not "theirs", they are not resources to be traded. The doctor is the one extending services to the practice. They're the ones who benefit from having high quality professionals attending to patients. The practice did not cultivate anything, the doctors practicing there did. Doctor-patient relationships are personal and it is 100% unethical to interfere in them with anticompetitive contracts.
This reads exactly like a Buzzfeed article and I don't know whether to be delighted or worried.
As long as I immediately notice something's off I am not going to be impressed. I notice the neck is weird right away. A few seconds later I noticed the head is out of proportion in relation the body. I'm not the best at noticing picture deepfakes, but this one is obvious.

Marqus: https://github.com/EddieAbbondanzio/marqus

It's yet another markdown based note taking app. I wanted something that gave as much screen real estate to the note's content vs navigation so it'd be easy to use on small screens, and I also wanted to save my notes in plain files vs a proprietary format.

I don't plan on charging any money for the app itself so it'll never make me any money but I do plan on offering an optional note syncing service for multi-device support that'll be a few bucks a month.
Holy GOD that's way better than anything I have. I'm definitely gonna follow that, thanks for the link.

Ultimately, I'd want to have the art _not_ AI generated, but for the sake of prototyping, I could care less :)
You know, I'm generally a fan of being brief. So many people use GPT to create more content. I am on the opposite side and I will reduce content.
I've been using RSS-to-Email services for almost a decade but wasn't really happy with any of them. So I launched https://feedmail.org/.

I never really expected to make money (and the service is priced to be very low-cost without a huge margin) but currently we are approximately breaking even (about $20 negative after 13 months). So it looks like in the long-term it will probably pay for itself.

But the main thing for me is that it behaves exactly like I want (although I have already added a few features that I didn't want for other users).

Or what we think of today as social media is basically on its last legs.

Your AI assistant will just take up so much of your time that you won't be bothered with what other people think. Communication with other humans online right now is largely a form of entertainment. The bar is just so low to be more entertained by future AI assistants than a random human.

I am personally certain that I will not be reading this board at some point in the future because the AI assistant will just have far more profound things to say than what random people are going to post on here.

It is not like the assistant only has to be one personality too. Could be a whole group of assistants having a group chat. Lamda can probably do this right now considering it can talk as a planet or national park.
Because it costs hundreds of billions of dollars. Look how much California spent on a non-functional, slow, version to nowhere.

I'm not so quick to attach a judgement to anthropomorphization. Well okay, I am, but not because I think it's wrong.

After all, panpsychism has not been defeated as a philosophical standpoint [0]. Perhaps any-old-object in the world is actually conscius, just not all of us can detect it.

That the impulse to see consciousness in a thing is being used by charlatan is unfortunate, but has no bearing on the actual truth of whether the thing actually is conscious.

Go ahead and black market it. I get that.

But guns... don't blow up. Ammo does. It's not reusable. If you ban guns, you can't get the existing ones to go away, but a gun is useless without ammo, and even if they hoard it, it will either be locked away as precious, not used, or if used, the supply goes down.

Responsible owners won't want to use their guns. So they exist for home defense. For hunters, well, is shooting a deer worth $50 per shot? We'll see, but it doesn't preclude the sport entirely. Better be a better shot :-)

And if you black market the ammo, it's yet another legal exposure for criminals and criminal organizations.

So as flippant as the joke is, I think it has potential.

Now for shooting ranges, that's tough. Maybe allow the ammo to only stay at a shooting range, but any ammo carrier outside of the shooting range is the same: very illegal. Maybe there can shooting range ammo that is far less effective (rubber bullets or even less lethal) that will still allow target practice.

I work on NES homebrew projects, mostly involving chiptune libraries that can be used to make games on the original hardware. I'm especially happy with the visualizers for turning musical creations into videos. I'd love to spend more time on it but I have to pay the bills, but still... figured I'd make good on the desire and try to turn it into a Patreon.

https://www.patreon.com/zeta0134

Here's like... pretty much all of those projects running in the browser at the same time: the music engine, the emulator, piano roll, and some of my own covers as demo tracks.

It's an extremely niche thing to even be into, and I'm very new to this whole self-marketing thing, so I'm still learning the ropes. Right now I don't make enough from my own patrons to offset the amount I happily pay each month to other creators. I enjoy the work on its own merits, so that's fine, but it would be great to one day connect with enough of an audience that I could justify spending more time on it than I already do.

There's also an article about the "enshittening" of TikTok.

Boy, I hope "enshittening" isn't gonna be 2023's Word of the Year. The concept of "stuff gets worse" is really old, and a buzzword for it just feels tiresome.

It's only January, so there's plenty of time for this to fade. And I suppose it can't be worse than "gaslighting", a word that was plenty relevant in 2022 but was hardly specific to last year. But surely we can do better.

I agree, I think a related part of this is reviews. I often pick which coffee shop to go to based on reviews that say how the wifi is, if it's loud, what food people like there, etc. There is an effort to do this that's integrated with mapcomplete but as far as I know it's not too actively used. It's called mangrove reviews. https://mangrove.reviews/

> Ballmer’s purchase of Nokia was a tremendous waste of money, it’s taken a lot of effort under Nadella to right the ship.

Was it the purchase that was the waste, or the subsequent management that wasted the potential?

Anyway, bringing Intel back into the picture; things would be a lot different if Intel hadn't canceled x86 phone chips around the same time Microsoft was hyping Continuum, the converged phone/desktop feature of Windows Mobile 10. If that was launched on x86 phones with win32 apps, it would have been really interesting. And, if they had that ready to go, maybe there would have been internal excitememt about WM10 and it wouldn't have been such a poor showing. Then again, maybe ending their massive QA program wasn't great for quality, either. I still miss windows phone, but there's no going back.
Yes, exactly. Major airlines are going to accumulate a sizeable number of bags which can't be matched to their owner with detective work that is going to cost more than the bags are worth. And they can't store bags forever waiting in case the owners use their own detection mechanisms. Paying compensation and donating the bags seems fine, as long as the compensation is reasonable.
True, the fact that everyone has to enter and exit the train through the same door makes it quite slow.
I am a big fan of the long tails that certain video games or tech products have. You accrue little tidbits about the development process and such over time. I have Goldeneye rigged up on the monitor in my office and play it from time to time. Motion sickness aside, it holds up pretty well. Statues was a pretty obnoxious level, because nothing obvious tells you that you need to put your guns away when you find the flight recorder, lest the goons near the gate kill Natasha. Statues was also meant to be a multiplayer map, but the fog effect could not be rendered in multiplayer without slowing the game down.

> What takes 10 hours in a flight will take 13 hours on fast trains.

Okay, let's look at that bullet train. At best that's 200 mph. A trip from SF to NY is then going to be 12.85 hrs. Assuming we go in a perfectly straight line (trains can't do this) and no stops. We'll say 13 for ease. A nonstop flight (not hard to find) is about 5.5 hrs.

In both situations we're only considering the travel time of the vehicle and not including anything like layovers/stops or boarding and unboarding. These are not one or two hour differences in travel time and thus security would make the difference, there are over 7hrs difference! You could fly all the way back to SFO before that bullet train rider gets to NYC (you're already through security). (We're also assuming that as trains get more popular that similar security theater isn't also introduced)

Now I do think people would still take the train fwiw because even with a 7hr travel time takes up all your day and flying sucks. Plenty of people will make this trade as long as trains don't sardine pack like airlines do. But let's also not fool ourselves into thinking the times are roughly the same and that that train also isn't going to take closer to 16hrs to go across country. Which even means doubling the speed (400mph) still makes it slower than a plane with security check-ins.
Your car insurance works that way, in the sense that they generally have to pay you enough to replace the car like for like. A shirt is a bit different in that there is not a robust used shirt market where you can go out and buy a nearly exactly equivalent shirt. Given that, it seems reasonable that they would pay for the replacement via a similar new shirt.

Home insurance actually works _exactly_ this way. As long as you have a mortgage in the US, you're going to be required to carry enough insurance to pay for the full cost of completely rebuilding a similar brand new home in the event the home is destroyed.
That's great to hear, I'll be sure to keep that in mind if I answer this question in the future.
