And that is how you handle things like this. He ponied up and took the hit. More importantly, he gave the back story. After years of reading so many circular psuedo-responsibility …

I know a lot of good people that got thrown away by mission focussed companies. They were loyal and put with all kinds of BS for those companies. I was laid off from jobs I went wa…

This could be dealt with in the U.S. with simple enforcement, but would also limit political parties soliciting by phone and that is my conspiracy theory for why it isn't enforced.…

Yes. A much better poster. Less busy, reads quickly. Funny and relevant. Here is her website: https://nikkismetters.com/

My Google Voice number got 37 calls from the same region in the past 2 days. All day, about every 50 minutes, rotating different 404 based numbers. It happens about twice a year fr…

Berlin is one the cheapest capital cities in Europe. As such it attracts a huge amount of immigrants. That low cost is reflected in the pay. An experienced full stack developer wou…

People need to understand just how saturated San Francisco is with ads for AI companies right now. I know what these companies do, but I'm still amazed at how niche and bizarre the…

I have seen company descriptions in job ads that list college achievements of founders. They are invariably young Asian men. I understand that it's a cultural signifier and don't j…

I have done festivals before, so I knew what to expect. One thing I had this time was accepting credit cards and apple pay through an NFC app on my phone. Most people paid with app…

This is the first year I made more money selling art than I did freelancing web dev. I just incorporated and formalized my web dev business ( https://lcdbmg.com ). A couple of week…

I bet most of these were German government property at some point. Considering the time period they were produced, they were probably under security protocols as well. That doesn't…

I've said it before that Mistral is underrated. They are looking at real world use of LLMs and tooling. Bespoke models are very appealing to lots of non-tech centered companies and…

I was working on a site to mashup Spotify playlists. I can't stand the "weighted shuffle" Spotify uses. It is also useless for niche genres or experimental music. Last week, I got …

This turned out to be a huge waste of time. I built this without knowing that Spotify changed their policy for independent projects last year. I can't get it out of dev mode unless…

Location: San Francisco Remote: Hybrid or Remote Willing to relocate: No Technologies: Full-stack web, but recently React Native, Svelte, and RabbitMQ Résumé/CV: https://joshuacurr…

This began last year as a Python tool I wrote for my own use. I hate the "weighted shuffle" that Spotify uses. It can't handle experimental genres or music with generally low play …

The next step with this is recruiter chatbots talking to resume chatbots. It's seems obvious.

Lots of creative software has custom scripting with it's own syntax, like Photoshop actions. I'm glad to point Claude at things like that. Inkscape has an extension API that would …

Most commercial websites, especially tech, run multiple A/B experiments in parallel to optimize signup funnels and tier conversions. Even so, there should always be a source of tru…

Thanks for the compliment. Linocuts and monotypes have been considered printmaking for hundreds of years. Those pen plots are also collaged and modified by hand, so not only mechan…

Not one actual app is mentioned. As with most articles that are about this, few if any public facing examples are described. Where are the lists of actual production software that …

Printmaking. In a tiny apartment I did linocuts and Gelli prints on my kitchen counter for a few months. https://lucidbeaming.com/art/prints

Everything is fandom now. I grew up around people obsessed with Nascar and NFL. So much of the discourse sounds exactly the same. It beats listening to people talk about their dogs…

Don't sleep on Mistral. Highly underrated as a general service LLM. Cheaper, too. Their emphasis on bespoke modelling over generalized megaliths will pay off. There are all kinds o…
