totally fair point! the medium/long-term roadmap is to layer in a BBS-esque community, so identity is required. more on this later! regardless, might be nice to have an unauthenticated / "Skip sign in" flow for the folks who just want to use the tool.
I built a TUI sampler which cherry-picks my favourite features from modern & vintage hardware samplers, DAWs, plugins, outboard FX gear, and DJ equipment.
If you know what an AKAI MPC Live, MPC 3000, SP404, SP1200, BOSS RC-202, Alesis 3630, Serato Sample, S950 filters, and stem separation does, then you'll love seeing these "greatest hits" up in a terminal interface.
Last year while on vacation in Costa Rica, I started scratching my own itch for locating and organizing samples, which quickly evolved into adding more and more features while keeping it tactile and immediate. It was too fun to stop so I kept going. After a few days I was happily making beats in it, and since then it's only gotten better.
It's live and totally free to use, and works in macos & Linux (Windows soon). I'm about to launch v1.0 now, just working with folks in the community to round out the Factory Kits a little more for users new to beatmaking.
Turns out, making beats with no mouse and a terminal interface strikes the perfect balance of hardware feel and software power, and I'm loving the result. Been sharing it with folks in my beatmaking sphere and have plans to continue expanding its reach through more collaborations, contests, and in-person events.
Hope it brings you as much joy as it does to me :)
Awesome. Do docker image layers persist across build runs? Github, BuildJet, etc. use ephemeral runners, so subsequent runs have to re-pull everything from scratch, which is where most of my actions' time is spent now. If you're able to persist these across runs, that'd be a reason to switch alone.
Congrats on the launch! I've spent some time recently with great success speeding up CI for my teams via alternate actions runners, and the increase in efficiency that comes with dramatic reductions in build times is worth it. When the cost is the same (or less), it's an absolute no-brainer.
How do you differentiate from BuildJet, which takes a similar approach?
A big motivator for going the EUC route was a) the wheel is a huge 18" tire and 3" wide, so small potholes and roots/branches are no problem, thus safer, and b) having a EUC w a suspension means I'm less likely to be bounced off, even less so if you add some "power pads" that support the upper foot area. Check it out!
Electric Unicycle. For short trips and errands, it's a super fast and effective way to zip around my area. For more recreational trips, off-roading on local trails and ravines is super fun. It feels like snowboarding around the city, and has a learning curve of a few days (like skiing). Initially, I borrowed an old one from a friend and decided to stick with it by getting my own (a fairly good one). Next up was the various safety equipment. You could spend anywhere from $1500-4000 on the unit + safety gear depending on how fancy you want to go. Even a minimal base model that's a few years old would be totally fine.
Peggy | Principal Mobile Developer | REMOTE | Full Time | https://peggy.com
Peggy is the social marketplace that allows you to discover, buy, and sell art. We partner with art galleries and artists to onboard their artworks, register a secure digital fingerprint for each artwork, and connect them to our vibrant collector community. Our art fingerprinting tech also enables the ability for collector-to-collector resale, which creates liquidity that was previously only accessible to billionaires selling Blue Chip art via auction houses. Best of all, we do right by our emerging, contemporary, and living artists by paying 5% artist royalties on each resale transaction.
We're hiring a Principal Mobile Developer for our iOS and Android (flutter/dart) app. You will be partnering with our design, backend, and technical leadership teams as we drive towards our exciting alpha release.

Is this possible in MacOS at all? I have an RX100 V and an Elgato Camlink HD, but would love to use that capture card w another cam, and use the RX100 over USB simultaneously.
The combination of this HTTP Load Balancing announcement, and May 23rd's announcement of CoreOS support are super exciting. I've been working on setting up a similar docker-based multi-AZ autoscaling setup on EC2, but getting it up and running has required integrating a lot of separately moving parts. If Google can simplify this process via a few simple gcutil commands and a cloud-config YAML file, it would be a hugely compelling offering.
Install the tools you need via the Dockerfile (iostat, top, atop, etc.), and an sshd. Then, instead of running the single web process, run supervisord via CMD, which will subsequently launch both your web app process, AND sshd. From there, EXPOSE 80 22, and you can SSH into the container to run any perf analysis tools as usual.
We're using pacer-neo4j (https://github.com/pangloss/pacer-neo4j) at Uniiverse with great success embedding neo4j within a jruby 1.7 webapp. I'd definitely suggest checking it out as well!
I also used this brief window of opportunity as a fun experiment in learning Ansible. As a result, I've published a repo which automates setting up LTC mining on g2.2xlarge instances.
If anybody's curious to spin up a GPU instance and dabble with this, this greatly facilitates downloading, compiling, and installing the CUDA drivers, and setting up the LTC miners. Amazon has a $100 credit available too, if the current spot instance prices are prohibitive.
Based on AWS spot instance pricing, LTC mining difficulty, and the present value of LTC, it can be profitable to mine for LTC on EC2 g2.2xlarge instances.
This project was inspired by Bob Feldbauer's post on Profitable LiteCoin Mining on EC2, and a desire to practice my Ansible chops.
As of right now, the spot instance price is approx $0.30/hr, so it's no longer immediately profitable, so I wouldn't recommend this if you're looking to flip a quick buck (before yesterday would have been a different story). Nevertheless, a fun weekend hack project if anyone's curious to give it a try!
s3s3mirror is great for this sort of thing (https://github.com/cobbzilla/s3s3mirror). We're able to sync a bucket with ~100k+ entries fairly quickly, so it's been quite handy for bucket backup purposes.
I've had great success with Middleman when paired with EmberJS, and hosted entirely on S3. My "ember-static-boilerplate" project template is an easy way to get started:
