Building a flutter dev and designer audience at medium while building some flutter apps and writing some dev and design books and playing with the livebook and other book presenting models. Up to getting 38k view a month at medium as it doubles every 1.5 months. It's a slower way to bootstrap a studio, but it does work

#622Earlier quoted context omitted.
StagesCycling Dash L50/M50 are open to hack: bootloader is not protected, SD card can be replaced, and ssh access is open (when device is connected by USB).
Do you have any links confirming that? I'm failing to find any resources.

#623I'm mainly working on [Money Simulator](https://simulator.money) and [Textreel](https://textreel.com)
I don't think either has a good chance of making money though so I'm going to start a new project soon.
I also may need a get a job soon otherwise my money will run out
Re: Ask HN: What you up to? (Who doesn't want to be hired?)
#624Too many ideas given the time, but now I'm focused on two: 1. Building an open source bicycle computer. It's been over 20 years since they arrived at the scene, and there still isn't one that you could hack! An outrage! No published sources yet, I'm getting stuck on not having much experience building physical things. 2. Getting rid of the directory hierarchy. I have 10K photos, 30K emails, 10000km of GPS tracks, and…
Have a look at Bangle.js. It's nominally an open source smartwatch, but the difference between that and a bike GPS is just a handlebar mount. v2 has just gone on Kickstarter - I've ordered one specifically for bike mounting.

#626Managing an apartment complex (pro-bono) alongside a tech job. In Bangalore, it is normal to have a committee of apartment owners who oversee the operations, set up rules for residents, take up mini-projects for efficiency / beautification /long term maintenance and also manage the finances. This committee operates for a year and then passes on the reins to the next committee. Our apartment complex has 850 apartments…
That's really interesting to me. How are the finances raised? I assume there is a service fee. Do you have to handle collection also? What legal body is the employer of the staff and how many are there? In Ireland/UK there is a normally a management company either owned or originally established by the developer and they collect the service fee. They usually do not encourage a lot of tenant participation.
Large apartment associations employ few staff on own payroll, but mostly Security, Housekeeping, Plumbers, Electricians, STP operators,etc are on the payrolls of manpower agencies.
Members of the association are owners of individual flats. Tenants do not participate much ( and not encouraged either). This ensures a skin in the game and service fee goes towards activities contributing to long term value of the property (including liveability).

#627I just bought what will eventually become an artists’ residency, and we will start renovating it later this month. It will probably take about two years to get it started. The plan is to have a few artists a year come for about a month each and make art under the influence of the crazy dramatic landscape there. It will not be a paid thing, I’m financing it myself. At first it’ll have to be informal but eventually I w…
Are you comfortable sharing any more specifics? Do you have a landing page or is it all offline at the moment?

#628But also generally considering other projects because all the jobs that are supposedly open are not for me. But I need a source of income so idk gotta do something. I like working full stack with vue and go. I hate devops. Just because go is my language of choice doesn't mean I have to love docker k8s and generally write system stuff.

#630I won the IPO lottery and I’m in the middle ground between rich enough to never work again but not quite rich enough for the yachts/mansions/private jets lifestyle. I haven’t worked in 6 months and I’m struggling to find a larger meaning to my life beyond getting yet another tech job. I’ve considered going to college for a math degree, moving to my parents home country, and joining the military (among many other opti…
If you have money, it won't be fun. And it's hard to un-do.
