bryanmikaelian··on Incident with Github.com
Disclaimer: I work at exe.dev

Forgejo has been great for me too. I liked it so much, I added a feature to make it relatively easy to get up and running on exe.dev. Support for Gitea and Tangle.org is also available.

bryanmikaelian··on PipeWire: A server for Linux audio and video streams
PipeWire was the only way I could get AirPod Pros to work in headset mode.

With pulseaudio, it was rabbit hole after rabbit hole only to find a solution that ended up not working.

I switched a few weeks ago and haven’t looked back.

bryanmikaelian··on Semver doesn't mean major.minor.patch, it means fails.features.bugs
Reminds me of the talk Rich Hickey gave about Clojure Spec and why semver fails.

bryanmikaelian··on The Dark Ages of Austin Startup Capital
Former startup employee here that lives in Dallas.

It's ok, and slowly growing, but it is very hard to raise money. There are groups trying to advocate for more startups but they just can't raise the capital. One such group is http://launchdfw.com/jobs/. SoftLayer was probably the biggest exit Dallas has seen. The money is just tied up in other industries and it won't be risked on high tech startups. The lack of capital being raised results in the lack of start up jobs in Dallas. When I was looking for a new job back in August, I think there was maybe 6 postings - one being my current company.

We are just a very IT / Enterprise heavy area. People are more likely to find a job at Match.com or AT&T.

bryanmikaelian··on Show HN: Hours, the Meeting ROI App
Author here. This was a small weekend project I did in an attempt to become better at iOS development.

The math for the expenses is a little fuzzy using the following formula: number of seconds in meeting * (burn per person / average number of US working days in a month, in seconds), where burn per person = Company Burn Rate / Number of Employees in Company. The app, for now, assumes there are about 20 working days per month.

There is definitely room for improvement on the formula (seeing as me and some coworkers dreamt it up in a side conversation) but it is still funny to see the results.

Hope you all enjoy it!
