I am a computational biologists working with a group of colleagues to build an open-source community that hosts APIs for essential bioinformatics algorithms. We believe the progress in science could be accelerated, if tools like alphafold would not require 3 days of set-up to get working on your local compute infrastructure. Instead community members would host their algo and charge a small fee / token-tip to keep the API running. We are currently starting to build a community around it and would love to hear from folks with interest in bio-compute, docker, solidity, terraform and general frontend tasks.

Offtopic: What made you move from F# to TS ?

I want my offline client to have a plugin system like Anki. Powerful plugins will want to manipulate the DOM directly. They can't do this if I'm using a virtual DOM, which is what Blazor uses. (VDOM updates will overwrite any plugin DOM changes.) There are Fable bindings to React, but of course that also uses a VDOM. I can't express in words how seriously sad I am to leave F# for the shitshow that is TypeScript. I tr…

No luck with Feliz either?

>Can it spawn the remote processes too? With SSH, or its own system? Yes, with rsyscall, is that not clear? It's pretty explicit in http://catern.com/integration.html#thread >but all it does is explicitly run a Python function in a local thread... That's not all that's happening. I think you might be pattern-matching what's happening in the article to something you've already seen, when in fact it's something novel.

It's clear that it "may operate on a local or remote host" and in this case you run a local thread. Just how much is actually implemented is not clear at all. A lot of frameworks are written to be "extensible" but the extensions are left as an exercise to the reader... It is nice to have a self-contained example that you can run on your machine, but I think an example that actually shows the capabilities of the frame…

>Showing that it's as easy as `run_in_executor()` is nice, but not if it does the exact same thing as `run_in_executor()`.

That's fair and a good point! I suppose reading this, you have no evidence that anything but local_thread exists. I'll change that, somehow, to show that indeed there exist values other than local_thread, and that passing those will run things on remote hosts.

This article originally grew out of a tutorial on writing tests using this style, for which running over multiple hosts is not necessary and maybe undesirable... but that's not good for what the article is today.

I'd love to build new monetization streams for musicians/artists... something akin to Brave Attention Token, Podcasting 2.0 Protocol(streaming payments over Lightning Network), and Substack. I'm a front-end dev and very into product management. my.username@gmail.com

BAT has occurred to me as a means for artists to increase revenue. Would it make financial sense to exchange BAT for DRM-free downloads, is ad revenue per user anywhere near that even with multiples? I expect this would rely on the expectation that engagement would scale up owing to nil cost (except time). Thinking of myself as a consumer, I'd sooner just pay for an album outright.

I think that product already exists: LiveCode https://livecode.com/

Yeah, they're proof that this sort of thing can be valuable. But they have a very different approach. Proprietary language, components, etc. I wouldn't want to be locked into their ecosystem. That's typical with game engines, but not with web and mobile applications these days. Even Microsoft has gone full open source. I wouldn't use LiveCode as the basis to build a company on. I'm building the open version. Made for…

Interestingly Livecode had a GPL version until a few months ago. But I can’t wait to see your project, which sounds right up my alley. You could build yours starting with JUCE which has done an immense amount of heavy lifting in the portability department. It is also GPL.

I'm looking for someone who wants to help me build a SaaS project that involves kubernetes and gitops. Need a web developer who can create Frontends, dashboards, add authentication and authorization. No investment needs to be made since everything will be based on oss and i pay for the infrastructure.

pls contact me at morphle at ziggo dot nl so I get you in contact with a tiny house builder who will test your prototype on his houses and land

> "Because of its reliance on radiative cooling, the Skytherm concept is best suited for areas of low humidity and clear nights" Hopefully the tiny house builder has clients outside of the Netherlands. (-:

Not sure how much cooling is needed in the Netherlands. I know UK houses generally do not have AC.

Despite the 'growth' of the web and its related professions, I feel like a lot of it has neither good UX or interesting design. I've been out of front end for years now, but don't feel inspired to put it mildly.. my plan is to separate these interest:

* build interesting graphical web styles / experiments, pushing the envelope

* build a living UX guide founded in research (like an up to date wiki);

I'm building a new task manager. I'm aiming it to be like HEY of email apps - Kinda opinionated, but hopefully fits workflow for a lot of people. https://focustask.app Building this in my free time, and would love to talk to anyone who might be interesting in helping with either coding or with marketing. My email is vojto at focustask.app

I find alot of my job as a consultant is assigning ownership to tasks, following up with clients, writing meeting notes, and pushing priorities. I've never found a productivity app/ task manager for consultants. I would love the ability to self generate follow up emails based on tasks for another person. I would love the functionality to assign tasks to another person in my task manager, and on the day those items ar…

I wrote one, as a consultant, because nothing existed.

Captured time, tasks, and held key/values for documentation.

Every task was assigned, never open, and timecards were auto generated (and emailed to management)
