I've have jumped back into maintaining and cleaning up OpenPaint, a project I originally started about 17 years ago to bring a simple MS Paint-like editor to Mac, Linux, and Windows. It never really got much traction over the years an

Yes, that was the the place, I was one of the first engineers in that office but we got up to about 50 full-time devs at the peak before they started getting moved over to Europe for lower cost labor. It was a total PITA to work with but no

I actually worked on the Poseidon engine back when I was at BISim for serious game Virtual Battlespace 2 (VBS2) which was the spin off built for military training. The codebase here is so much cleaner and better organized than the version I

I’m working on https://assistedlist.com From personal experience finding and researching senior care ends up being a big trap, they lead you into a sales funnel before you can clearly compare real options. Data is hidden behind

The nearest current use of detection of particles in the air that I can think of is smoke and carbon-monoxide detectors for safety. Could adoption on these smart versions like Nest or Ring by adding your sniphi detector provide other types

I would say that there has already been one, Notch and Minecraft. Though he did hire people and step down as dev lead, he was pretty solo and already on the 1 billion dollar trajectory.

I've heard that many of the big tech layoffs where actually just moved / converting them to contracting groups, so they lose the direct head count but kept the developer via the intermediary. Have others heard this too and could

I had similar experience with everything missing that final attention to detail and polish and having to write issues and ask other how they got past certain problems. I ended up switching to Pocketbase, and while it is not a complete or d

Wow glad to see there were other fans of MSPaint, can't believe I built my open source version with wxWidgets 16 years ago https://github.com/murdockq/OpenPaint

I'm guessing this can be the new bot that could play competitively at GeoGuesser. It would be interesting if Google trained a similar model and released it using all the Street Map data, I sure hope they do. Has anyone done something

I have run into the same situation as you, and it always seems to be bad timing to invest into code generation for projects. I am not affiliated with this project, but I have good success with http://www.hygen.io/ especia

Any security hardware using this oscillator would be at risk too. I can see the Mission Impossible plot to use it to attack a security systems and IP cameras if they used those chips.
