Just FYI, I don't think any of the claimed heated threads were captured by the internet archive's sweeps. There were a couple linked to post-fork which were either archived too early, too late, or not at all. disclaimer - I am one

The original upstream was more or less a monorepo of several subprojects. The fork only involved the session manager, so the other pieces were removed from the forked repository.

For those interested, the linux audio consortium mailing list has archives available at: https://lists.linuxaudio.org/archives/consortium/ I see mentions of LAD mailing list archives elsewhere in the comments sect

I just clicked around for a while seeing mostly dead repos IIRC. If you want assistance for reviewing the age of a load of repositories I was looking into a commit metric similar to what's mentioned in the github thread. Example output

This sounds somewhat similar to something I've seen other coworkers of mine go through. From my reading, it seems like most of the pressure described is coming from yourself rather than external sources. Of course I'm not observin

Is it? The documentation ( https://github.com/up-for-grabs/up-for-grabs.net/blob/gh-pag... ) is verbose, but that appears to be an attempt to lower the barrier of entry. Each PR to add a new project seems to

I'd support purging inactive projects in order to make the process easier for prospective contributors. Ideally there should be some specific rules that projects can use to see that they'd be filtered. It doesn't look like up

In terms of getting a lot of work done, not all that helpful. They are more useful for recruiting possible repeat contributors as well as generally helping maintainer morale (fast to review, though good first-timers-only style issues do tak

Feel free to call me cynical, but do low level employees want systems like this? I've seen a few spacial chat systems pass through HN in the past few months. From a pure social application standpoint both spot and other options seem to

Taking a look around their remaining service level channels it sure seems like trolls have taken over. Either that or people have such a strong disconnect with the events that they cannot actually understand why people would have concerns o

Honestly the transition from data science to software engineering has seemed like an easy one to me. As long as you have language proficiency in the area you want to go into it's a much lower bar (on paper at least). In my past job hun

It's totally possible to have good job postings. Just state a realistic salary range rather than "competitive", explicitly list benefits, and throw some quantifiable statements about work culture into the mix. It should be po

I'm very much against it. It's actively causing environmental harm, scams are common, market manipulation within cryptocoins is common, very volatile, it's a source of hardware shortages, etc. I view the whole thing as moneta

I don't think one is setup currently, though based upon some of the IRC channels I'm in it sounds like one is getting actively worked on.

It seems like seaborn would be a step backwards if you're looking for fast plotting. Perhaps I got the wrong impression, but this month I spent some time helping a coworker migrate to plain matplotlib as the seaborn plots were taking m

I'm personally pretty weak with the web stack work, so I've never had a long term open source project where a SaaS model made sense. Feel free to discount my opinion as I'm not the target audience of your project. The landing

Pre-pandemic I already had the career goal of a fully remote position. Working remotely for the past year or so has confirmed to me that I prefer working remote. It's going to be disappointing when I have to return to my old office in

It depends what you mean by "at the same time". Perhaps 5-6 different side projects or so are ongoing concurrently, but not all of them are getting worked on at a given point in time. I'd say if I'm making reasonable pro

In case you're more curious about fingerprint recognition itself the basic classical approach is roughly: First you acquire a fingerprint image from the sensor. A fingerprint is composed of small ridges and valleys. Every ridge will ma

Nice visually appealing CV. Is that using a public template as the base? I'm currently using the deedy XeLaTeX one as a base, but it doesn't seem to scale out to multiple pages well. Best of luck with your goals by the way. Avoidi

If you don't have a target project of your own in mind, but are interested in exploring a given domain open source contributions are one way to go. It let's you exploit the fact that someone already has built something cool and yo

At least looking at the archive.org version of the site it looks like just providing a way of building a username out of hash(phone number, website). I'm not seeing information about passwords or authentication and I wouldn't trea

The general rule of thumb from what I've heard is that if you're not getting responses from submissions either something is wrong with your resume, there's some red flag the first stage of hiring found or you may be under-qua

Turning personal trust in others into what looks like a stock market game strikes me as quite odd. I wouldn't find people trading internet points back and forth to determine my 'value' on a platform as something I would like.

Easy, don't try to contribute things too far above your skill set. If a codebase is too complicated, avoid code modifications. Instead of offering a fix, provide easy to follow step by step records of how to trigger a bug. Help an orga

A large part of intentionally building a community is removing barriers to entry. If you have a large following some barriers can improve the average quality, but starting out they do slow down growth. Fossil is cool. I've used it for

Github for hosting the primary repository as that's where people will likely already have an account. As much as I don't like the closed platform, discord has overtaken IRC, so have a discussion channel there. If things scale to n
