A Day in Northeastern Taipei: Cherry Blossoms and Perfect Weather

A software park sounds a lot like a place where you take your line of business programs to go socialize with other software and do their business behind the bushes.

Here'S my Indie make her update for Monday February 15, so I spent a good bit of time yesterday tweaking the audio encoding pipeline. I thought about it for a while, and I just turned up the audio quality settings to optimize more for higher quality output. Instead of optimizing for better compression, I just thought you know it's really small and while the app is like a really small scale, it doesn't make sense to try to like Pinch a Penny. Zundelowitz costs just to let you know if it sacrifices audio quality at all. So I think the audio compression is still a lot better than your typical podcast, like it used, is a lot less bandwidth that works, because it's primarily spoken audio, most podcasts that I find don't really

I have officially switched from Sketch to Figma: but it's not what you think, I'm not abandoning Sketch, but the other day when I tried installing Sketch on my new M1 Mac, I ran into a maintenance window and I couldn't renew my license. So I ended up having to install Figma and I ended up using it for the past three days without really running into any issues, so I have officially switched from Sketch to Figma. It might be temporary, but not looking back right now.

I woke up this morning with about four hours of sleep. I'Ve got a funny alert on my phone or static city and server was returning errors strange errors. Sometimes it was working. Sometimes it wasn't. I looked at the logs a little bit on my phone and decided to get up and investigate it. It turned out back blaze B2, which is an AWS, is three alternative that we use to store static files was down. Was it a bad? Push to production occurred problem now, due to an abuse report. Go daddy had suspended one of the domains they used by the service so instantly millions of people who depended on back, please be to the other apps that use the service were off-line or broken or in someway impacted.

So here's my update for Wednesday February 10 just got test flight approved for public access, which means I can give people a link to opt into the TestFlight instead of having to invite them as a user in our organization, which is really cool. But ups are limit from about 100 users to 10,000, which will probably last quite a while, and we still don't have to do a full App Store review process, but the obstacles were pretty significant. I thought that it would take longer to get through them, but it seems like if you make a good faith effort to adhere to all of the requirements for your social media and audio app they're just thumbs up the test flight they wanted. It could be a little bit more stringent on actual App Store review, but you know: there's there's a bunch of things. You have to add, like your dad.

Mark Andriessen and Ben Horowitz just hosted a room on clubhouse, and I thought I would recap a few interesting things that came up. One of the most interesting topics that Mark brought up was just that large scale systems usually don't age well, and it applies to a lot of things, especially our government. Basically, it's really hard to make a large scale system work in the first place and those things generally don't hold together very long, and he points out that, basically, what we've done is we've come up with some systems that worked really well at some point in time And it's really crazy that we were able to seal them up as large as we did, and we just got into the problem that it takes a lot of work from a lot of people to change them. And so it's creating a lot of problems in our politics today, but that was an interesting perspective.

A friend of mine, Brian Hall, is about to launch on product on a tool he created called cofounder question cards. It'S basically a website you go to, and it's great questions that you can ask your potential cofounder of something that's inspired by an earlier article called date. Night questions - and you know one of those things were. It was like interesting questions to ask like somebody on a date, but this is more focused towards cofounder dating him. So I thought I would go through the deck and answer one arm and get a couple of other people to chime in on the thread and answer one of the cards. I will share a link as the first reply to this post.

So I'm gonna kick off at the register talk about audio best social networks in general I am this all happened inside of the in the a.m. app feel free to chime in if you have any thoughts on the subject
