After a long hiatus, I have enough time and headspace to start maintaining adr-viewer again. I spent some time this weekend merging contributor PRs, clearing out old stuff (Travis CI who?), and setting up automated releases. 1.4.0rc1 is now on PyPI and I'm looking forward to giving this project the attention it deserves again. #python https://github.com/mrwilson/adr-viewer

Remember that tinkering requires time and space (both literal and figurative) that a lot of people are not afforded.

Datasette Cloud is the new SaaS hosting platform for the Datasette open source project. It enables teams to create a private collaboration space, upload and share data securely with each other, and then selectively publish that data to the world.

Rude!! I walked past my air purifier which was on a low setting, and it automatically turned to high. I've just showered.

genuinely fascinated by the wework collapse because they genuinely could have dominated the covid hybrid working trend by simply offering to businesses that they could have an office for that one day a week lease and they just... didn't. and kept trying to sell individuals a hot desk. literally everyone who has the money is spectacularly bad at reading the room on post 2020 working preferences

Exactly 14 years ago , Satoshi Nakamoto designed the most pathetic / inefficient system ever invented by humankind : the blockchain. Today, it weights 60 000 tons, wastes constantly 10 gigawatts (more than Belgium or Chile) to process less than 7 transactions per second : Less than a 33 bps modem from 1990. This could be a joke if it didn't have such gigantic environmental impact, wasn't enabling billion dollars ransomware industry and was not crushing thousands of lives in the process.

It’s funny how tech billionaires used to be liberal and woke then they got bored with the act and took their masks off.

This meeting could have been a nap

In typical fashion, today I got a shoutout in a company meeting from tech leadership for fixing a critical issue two weeks ago...just as it resurfaced 😅 The universe is mocking me 😂

Idk why everyone is talking about gender segregation in chess today (and I don't care, so don't answer), but it's interesting to see the discussion veering accidentally close to the real question, which is "why is any competition gender segregated?" Is it 1) because men are obviously superior to women so it would be unfair to women to make them compete with men? Or maybe it's 2) the patriarchy dictates that a man must never have to lose to a woman. It's a mystery.

New blog post inspired by @shanselman@hachyderm.io https://wbrawner.com/2023/08/15/more-blogging/ Thanks for the inspiration Scott!

My personal view is that given recent events, if contributing to a project requires signing a CLA with a company (instead of an independent organization) then you should only contribute to the project if you're getting paid for it. For example, if your employer wants you to send in bug fixes so you don't have to maintain them. This may be a bit strong, but executing a CLA outside your employer's eye may be legally hazardous anyway in a 'we own all the work you do anywhere' environment.

Reading through HN (I know, I know) about the #HashiCorp licensing change. Lots of folks get the rug pull and why it’s so shitty to the open source community. Folks defending HC, too. I’m just thinking about all the conferences who accepted talks about HC products only because they were open source. That’s free marketing. On the backbone of the open source community. Blessed with a certain kind of legitimacy. (Many conferences simple won’t accept “vendor” talks either at all or outside of paid slots.) I really hope open source conferences are pulling any accepted talks now that the licenses have changed. HC has fundamentally changed how DevRel needs to work at the company now. No longer able to pretend it’s about serving the OSS community.
