I'm not exactly sure why, but your website gives off a very "scammy" vibe, even tough your discuss other scams on it, and since you're seemingly here in earnest, seems valid. Maybe it's something about the color theme of the site (dark text on dark background, strange choices of colors etc) or the weird element structure, low quality photos. Not entirely sure why. Some things do read a bit weird on the website, but m…

Uhh, do take a look at the FAQ on his website ... Incels are probably the lesser evil when compared to bona fide racists?

Yup, just realized (via https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29761509)

I don't have a side project to recruit for right now, but I've wanted this very thread in the past. My current projects all revolve around reducing my dependency on commercial SaaS products. A hypothetical project I'd be interested in contributing to would be an ActivityPub Strava/Ride with GPS clone.

I am interested in collaborating on a project to make building local first software a simple reality for developers along the “seven ideals” that Martin Kleppmann lays out (see https://martin.kleppmann.com/papers/local-first.pdf ). There has been a number of attempts in this space, but none with a simple developer experience, and I’d like to experiment around fixing that. If anyone is already is already working in th…

Interesting. I’m a potential user. What do you have in mind that would make it a “simple reality”? I totally agree that it’s a mess right now. The hardest part for me was/is the sync and data consistency between syncs and modifications in-between sessions. I’ve used both OT and CRDT and the tooling isn’t simple.

Ad-hoc data formats like JSON and XML are too insecure for the modern world, so I'm developing a new format to remedy this [1]. It's a twin format, one binary and one text, so that you can input / edit the data in text, and then it passes from machine to machine in binary only (or convert back to text if a human needs to inspect it). The binary format is designed for simplicity and speed, and the text format is desig…

That sounds super interesting. Two questions: 1) Do you work remotely or are you in DRC? 2) What are some good ways to find job opportunities at the intersection of software engineering and wildlife conversation?

I know some communities that are aiming at climate in general and not focused on wildlife specifically but may have some related opportunities. Work On Climate, climate action tech and my climate journey. PS: I love that autocorrect.

Thanks! Haha, it wasn't even autocorrect. Just tired from NYE I guess :D

I run a side (open source) project called Iconduck ( https://iconduck.com ). It collects and makes open source icons, illustrations and graphics available to download in various formats. The goal is to collect sets from across the web (atm, mainly Gumroad and GitHub) that have open source licenses that allow for them to be available on a central site. I then use a service called Typesense ( https://typesense.org/ ) t…

I'd like to know a little more and possibly contribute. I come from a design background, but I'm a full stack engineer now so I like to dabble in different things from time to time.

I am a UX/UI designer who always struggled to pair with the right developer, and/or right business oriented extrovert person, to build things. If you struggled from the other side, let's talk, contact in bio. My projects / areas of interest: 1) high-concurrency booking system (10,000 university students trying to enrol in classes for next semester) 2) real-time money streaming

> real-time money streaming What does this mean?

Money can be transferred in realtime continuous flow into your pocket. Imagine you salary is not coming once a month, but instead every second you work. So that you can actually pay with it the next second.. It's the first time in human history that this is actually possible.

TL;DR: Im building a city builder/simulation game but I am not a visual artist, so I'm primarily looking for one to work with (as a cofounder) over the next couple years. Im open to working with another developer, but I am zipping along on my own, so no promises here! I'd prefer if you are in New England/NYC. L;R: I'm 2 months into creating an ambitious grid-based city builder/simulation game from the ground up using…

Hey there! My wife is a visual artist! She's currently looking for video game projects to work on. Here is her portfolio anivard.com. Let me know if you'd like to colab. I'll make intros.
