Brian #1: Switching to direnv, Starship, and uv Last week I mentioned that I'm ready to try direnv again, but secretly, I still had some worries about the process. Thankfully, Trey has a tutorial to walk me past the troublesome parts. direnv - an extension for your shell. It augments existing shells with a new feature that can load and unload environment variables depending on the current directory. Switching from virtualenvwrapper to direnv, Starship, and uv - Trey Hunner** Trey has solved a bunch of the problems I had when I tried direnv before Show the virtual environment name in the prompt Place new virtual environments in local .venv instead of in .direnv/python3.12 Silence all of the “loading”, “unloading” statements every time you enter a directory Have a script called venv to create an environment, activate it, create a .envrc file I'm more used to a create script, so I'll stick with that name and Trey's contents A workon script to be able to switch around to different projects. This is a carry over from “virtualenvwrapper', but seems cool. I'll take it. Adding uv to the mix for creating virtual environments. Interestingly including --seed which, for one, installs pip in the new environment. (Some tools need it, even if you don't) Starship Trey also has some setup for Starship. But I'll get through the above first, then MAYBE try Starship again. Some motivation Trey's setup is pretty simple. Maybe I was trying to get too fancy before Starship config in toml files that can be loaded with direnv and be different for different projects. Neato Also, Trey mentions his dotfiles repo. This is a cool idea that I've been meaning to do for a long time. See also: It's Terminal - Bootstrapping With Starship, Just, Direnv, and UV - Mario Munoz Michael #2: rqlite - Distributed SQLite DB via themlu, thanks! rqlite is a lightweight, user-friendly, distributed relational database built on SQLite. Built on SQLite, the world's most popular database Supports full-text search, Vector Search, and JSON documents Access controls and encryption for secure deployments Michael #3: A Python dict that can report which keys you did not use by Peter Bengtsson Very cool for testing that a dictionary has been used as expected (e.g. all data has been sent out via an API or report). Note: It does NOT track d.get(), but it's easy to just add it to the class in the post. Maybe someone should polish it up and put it on pypi (that person is not me :) ). Brian #4: Some Markdown Stuff Textual 4.0.0 adds Markdown.append which can be used to efficiently stream markdown content The reason for the major bump is due to an interface change to Widget.anchor Refreshing to see a symantic change cause a major version bump. html-to-markdown Converts html to markdown A complete rewrite fork of markdownify Lots of fun features like “streaming support” Curious if it can stream to Textual's Markdown.append method. hmmm. Joke: Vibecon is hard to attend
Meta Platforms (META) is looking to build numerous multi-gigawatt data centers that CEO Mark Zuckerberg says make up a "significant part of the footprint of Manhattan." Marley Kayden says that may not be the only piece of news moving the stock. She points to a report from the New York Times saying Meta is considering abandoning its open-source A.I. model, Behemoth. Tim Biggam offers an example options trade for Meta.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Last week, we talked about the political implications of the National Firearms Act (NFA) tax cuts in the budget bill. This week, we're talking about the market implications. To do that, we've got the co-founders of Open Source Defense back on the show. In addition to running a smart publication on gun culture and politics, Kareem Shaya and Chuck Rossi also run a firearms business investment firm. They said the tax cut is likely to juice demand for silencers (more accurately known as suppressors), short-barrel rifles and shotguns, as well as guns in the "any other weapon" (AOW) category. They looked at the recent surge in silencer demand related to last year's precipitous drop in registration processing times as a potential guidepost for how much demand may spike. Kaream noted suppressor sales were up 80 percent year-over-year between 20023 and 2024. He said demand could see a similar jump once the cut hits, although the six-month delay before that happens might depress the market in the meantime. Meanwhile, Chuck argued that new demand would likely open up innovation in the space. He said he expects new companies will come in to try and produce mass market suppressors or even disposable ones. He said we could see renewed interest in short-barrel rifles and the long-neglected AOW category that leads to new breakout products.

From dreaming of driving a bus to leading database engineering at Microsoft. In Episode 29 of Talking Postgres with Claire Giordano, Shireesh Thota traces his path to becoming CVP of Azure databases—rooted in a love of math, early BASIC programming, and a certainty that he'd become an engineer. We dig into the shift from engineer to manager (if only people came with documentation); why it's so important for Microsoft to contribute to the PostgreSQL open source project—not just consume it; and whether Shireesh has a favorite database (hint: it better be Postgres.)Links mentioned in this episode:Blog post excerpt: Why we have a Postgres open source contributor team at MicrosoftPodcast episode: Leading engineering for Postgres on Azure with Affan DarVS Code Marketplace: New VS Code extension for PostgreSQLPOSETTE 2025 talk: Introducing Microsoft's VS Code extension for Postgres by Matt McFarlandLinkedIn post: PGConf.dev 2025 talk on “The trouble with extensions” by Marco SlotPodcast episode: How I got started as a developer (& in Postgres) with David RowleyBook: Who Moved My CheeseCal invite: LIVE recording of Ep30 of Talking Postgres to happen on Wed Aug 6, 2025

Liz Steininger is the CEO of Least Authority: a company which specializes in auditing open source software since 2014. Originally founded by Zooko Wilcox, Least Authority has conducted more than 100 security audits in the space. Some of the best known contractors who requested an expert review include the Ethereum Foundation, the Electric Coin Company, Metamask, the KeyStone hardware wallet, and Avalanche. Least Authority also builds products that make use of Zero Knowledge Proofs: PrivateStorage (a cloud storage system that's designed to make the host unaware of the files being stored), ZKAPs (Zero Knowledge Access Passes, an authorization system that separates the payer from the data on the items being bought), and Winden (a file-sharing service that's encrypted and requires no identity from the sender and receiver). In a space which often defers to "check the code, it's open source", companies such as Least Authority offer high quality verification which makes it easier for the average non-technical person to trust that something is safe. Also, it helps builder have the peace of mind that what they're working on will not bring any unforeseen consequences.

Martin Mawyer is president of Christian Action Network. Martin began his career as a journalist for the Religion Today news syndicate and as the Washington news correspondent for Moody Monthly magazine. In 1990 he founded the Christian Action Network. As Jim opened this edition of Crosstalk, he noted a just-released Newsmax story that someone used Artificial Intelligence-powered software to imitate Secretary of State Marco Rubio's voice and writing style in contacting foreign ministers, a U.S. governor and a member of Congress. It's thought that the offender was likely attempting to manipulate powerful government officials with the goal of gaining access to information or accounts. So exactly where is Artificial Intelligence (AI) going and into whose hands is it falling? If you haven't been concerned up to this point, consider that just recently Mark Zuckerberg announced the creation of META Super Intelligence Labs to propel the advancement from Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) to Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI). ASI can hack into any system in existence such as water treatment systems. It can also break codes or even come up with biological weapons. However, what's even more concerning is his desire to make this open source. This means that anyone would have access to this super intelligence machine, and if they choose to, they could remove any human life parameters that are part of it in order to pursue unlawful goals.
In this episode, Jacob sits down with Karol Hausman (Co-Founder) and Danny Driess (Research Scientist) from Physical Intelligence, two of the minds behind some of the most exciting advances in robotics. They unpack the last decade of progress in AI robotics, from early skepticism to the breakthroughs powering today's generalist robot models. The conversation covers everything from folding laundry with robots to building scalable data pipelines, the limits of simulation, and what it'll take to bring robot assistants into everyday homes. It's a wide-ranging and thoughtful look at where robotics is headed, as well as how fast we might get there.

Medsider Radio: Learn from Medical Device and Medtech Thought Leaders
In this episode of Medsider Radio, we had a fascinating chat with Mary Lou Jepsen, founder and Chairman of Openwater, a medtech company developing breakthrough diagnostic and therapeutic wearables for cancer, stroke, mental illness, and beyond. Openwater is rethinking how medical devices are built — not as single-purpose machines, but as flexible platforms that function more like smartphones. A physicist and prolific inventor, Mary Lou holds nearly 300 patents and has launched over 50 products across VR, AR, holography, and consumer electronics. Previously, she led engineering at Intel, Facebook, and Google, taught at MIT, and now serves on the boards of Lear Corporation and Luminar Technologies. She has been named to Time magazine's list of the 100 most influential people. In this interview, Mary Lou explains why the traditional “one disease, one device” model falls short, and how her team is applying consumer electronics and open-source principles to develop scalable, software-driven tools. Backed by renowned investors including Khosla Ventures, Vitalik Buterin, and Esther Dyson, Openwater is aiming to make advanced care more accessible worldwide.Before we dive into the discussion, I wanted to mention a few things:First, if you're into learning from medical device and health technology founders and CEOs, and want to know when new interviews are live, head over to Medsider.com and sign up for our free newsletter.Second, if you want to peek behind the curtain of the world's most successful startups, you should consider a Medsider premium membership. You'll learn the strategies and tactics that founders and CEOs use to build and grow companies like Silk Road Medical, AliveCor, Shockwave Medical, and hundreds more!We recently introduced some fantastic additions exclusively for Medsider premium members, including playbooks, which are curated collections of our top Medsider interviews on key topics like capital fundraising and risk mitigation, and 3 packages that will help you make use of our database of 750+ life science investors more efficiently for your fundraise and help you discover your next medical device or health technology investor!In addition to the entire back catalog of Medsider interviews over the past decade, premium members also get a copy of every volume of Medsider Mentors at no additional cost, including the latest Medsider Mentors Volume VII.

Martin Mawyer is president of Christian Action Network. Martin began his career as a journalist for the Religion Today news syndicate and as the Washington news correspondent for Moody Monthly magazine. In 1990 he founded the Christian Action Network. As Jim opened this edition of Crosstalk, he noted a just-released Newsmax story that someone used Artificial Intelligence-powered software to imitate Secretary of State Marco Rubio's voice and writing style in contacting foreign ministers, a U.S. governor and a member of Congress. It's thought that the offender was likely attempting to manipulate powerful government officials with the goal of gaining access to information or accounts. So exactly where is Artificial Intelligence (AI) going and into whose hands is it falling? If you haven't been concerned up to this point, consider that just recently Mark Zuckerberg announced the creation of META Super Intelligence Labs to propel the advancement from Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) to Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI). ASI can hack into any system in existence such as water treatment systems. It can also break codes or even come up with biological weapons. However, what's even more concerning is his desire to make this open source. This means that anyone would have access to this super intelligence machine, and if they choose to, they could remove any human life parameters that are part of it in order to pursue unlawful goals.
An update on a cool new way that open source can get funded, and a not so cool trend where Discord is making things worse... Please use the Contact Form on this blog or our twitter feed to send us your questions, or to suggest future episode topics you would like us to cover.
In dieser Episode nehmen wir dich mit auf eine Reise hinter die Kulissen von Home Assistant – dem Open-Source-Giganten für Home Automation, der den Smart-Home-Markt im Sturm erobert hat. Es geht um eine Frage, die (fast) jede Tech-Community irgendwann beschäftigt: Ab welchem Punkt reicht Ehrenamt nicht mehr aus, und wie schafft man Strukturen, die weltweit Wirkung entfalten?Zusammen mit Pascal Vizeli – Co-Founder und CFO von Nabu Casa und Gründungsvorstand der Open Home Foundation – tauchen wir tief ein: Wie wächst ein Open-Source-Projekt von einer Freizeitidee zum internationalen Backbone für Smart Homes? Warum braucht es eine Schweizer Stiftung, um Kommerzialisierung zu verhindern? Und was hat es mit Works With Home Assistant, lizenzierten Produkten, Hardware-Innovationen und politischen Ambitionen auf sich?Spannend wird's, wenn Pascal erzählt, wie es gelingt, aus Community-Engagement professionelle Jobs zu machen, warum Datenschutz und Nachhaltigkeit zentrale Werte sind und wie Open Source endlich auch die großen Hersteller in die Pflicht nimmt. Dazu gibt's jede Menge Insights aus der Welt des Home Assistant, von Cloud-Diensten und Lizenzmodellen bis hin zum Kampf für offene Standards, Transparenz und das Recht an den eigenen Daten.Eine Folge, die nicht nur Smart-Home-Fans elektrisiert, sondern zeigt, wie Open Source zu echtem gesellschaftlichen Impact wird. Jetzt reinhören und Open Source mit ganz neuen Augen sehen!Bonus: Wer immer schon wissen wollte, warum Vereinsbuchhaltung manchmal wichtiger ist als Programmieren und wie man mit einer Non-Profit-Stiftung weltweit Standards definiert – hier kommt die Antwort.Unsere aktuellen Werbepartner findest du auf https://engineeringkiosk.dev/partnersDas schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

In this podcast episode, host Michelle Frechette welcomes Felix Arntz, a senior software engineer at Google, about his decade of contributions to the WordPress community. Felix shares insights on effective communication, persistence, and attention to detail in open-source collaboration. He highlights the importance of building relationships, learning from others, and embracing the welcoming nature of the WordPress community. The episode also introduces Felix's new "View Transitions" plugin, designed to enhance user experience. Listeners are encouraged to engage, contribute, and build connections within the WordPress ecosystem.Top Takeaways:Attention to Detail Is a Key Marker of ProfessionalismFelix and Michelle emphasized that small details—like capitalizing the "P" in WordPress—may seem trivial but are taken seriously by seasoned professionals. This attention to detail reflects pride in one's work and often becomes a litmus test for developers and marketers alike when assessing quality and seriousness.Thinking at Scale and Growing Gradually Are Crucial in Open Source Contribution: Felix discussed the importance of thinking at scale, especially when contributing to WordPress core. A feature might work well for a blog with 80 posts but break down on a site with tens of thousands. Additionally, contributors are encouraged to increase scope gradually, starting with bug fixes, so they can build trust, demonstrate commitment, and avoid burnout or disappointment when larger proposals stall.Personal Motivation Can Guide Your Niche in Open Source Work: Felix shared how his contributions to WordPress core initially grew out of real-world problems he encountered during freelance work. This insight reinforces the idea that contributors should follow their authentic interests and pain points when selecting where to focus their energy, making their efforts more sustainable and impactful.Relationships and Community Are the Heart of the WordPress Project: Michelle and Felix agreed that building personal relationships—whether at WordCamps, online, or through collaborative work—is not just rewarding personally, but also essential for project momentum. Felix shared how meeting someone briefly in person changes how online collaboration feels. Michelle told a moving story about how her community connections helped her navigate an inaccessible travel situation, underscoring the tangible power of WordPress friendships.Mentioned in the Show:This Week in WordPressFelix-Arntz.me
Der Messengerdienst Signal oder das Betriebssystem Linux basieren auf Open-Source-Software, das heißt auf freier und kostenloser Software. Das Besondere daran ist, dass der Quellcode bei Open-Source-Software offen liegt. Im Gegensatz zu kommerziellen Angeboten, die oft teuer sind. Getragen wird diese Open-Source-Idee von Millionen Freiwilligen auf der ganzen Welt, die in ihrer Freizeit und meistens unbezahlt coden und auch Fehler im Internet reparieren. Davon profitieren alle. Doch sie tun das manchmal bis zum Burnout. In dieser 11KM-Folge erzählt BR-Journalist André Dér-Hörmeyer vom Podcast Wild Wild Web von der Motivation der Open-Source-Maintainer und warum das Internet ohne sie unsicherer wird.

Shane Rosenthal and Simon Hamp from the NativePHP Project have brought PHP, and with it my favorite web framework Laravel, onto Mobile devices. I love this: taking established tech and porting it into places where you wouldn't expect. I'll be talking to Share and Simon about how they accomplished this, and, maybe even more impressively, how they turned this into a profitable business at a very early stage.This episode of The Bootstraped Founder is sponsored by Paddle.comThe blog post: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/simon-hamp-shane-rosenthal-building-monetizing-nativephp/ The podcast episode: https://tbf.fm/episodes/399-simon-hamp-shane-rosenthal-building-monetizing-nativephpCheck out Podscan, the Podcast database that transcribes every podcast episode out there minutes after it gets released: https://podscan.fmSend me a voicemail on Podline: https://podline.fm/arvidYou'll find my weekly article on my blog: https://thebootstrappedfounder.comPodcast: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/podcastNewsletter: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/newsletterMy book Zero to Sold: https://zerotosold.com/My book The Embedded Entrepreneur: https://embeddedentrepreneur.com/My course Find Your Following: https://findyourfollowing.comHere are a few tools I use.

Stripe has established itself as a leading payment solution for both enterprises as well as startups and individual sellers. By abstracting away all the complexities of traditional payment rails through simple plug-and-play APIs, Stripe created a facile route for cross-border payments, simplifying e-commerce. Similarly, Stripe's recent integration of stablecoins could further bolster the adoption of decentralised payment solutions, be them USD or other currency proxies. This allows businesses to reach more markets, at a lower cost, with near-instantaneous settlement.Topics covered in this episode:John's backgroundStripe's missionHow Stripe solves the complexity of internet paymentsIntegrating crypto for paymentsSupported blockchainsStripe's Web3 servicesUpsides of accepting stablecoin paymentsNon-USD stablecoinsMerchant UXExpanding crypto support outside the U.S.On- and off-rampingAcquiring Bridge and PrivyThe best of both worlds: CeFi & DeFiEpisode links:John Egan on XStripe on XSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

Bob Young co-founded Red Hat, the first company to build a successful business around open source software, and helped shape the modern internet in the process. In this episode, Bob shares the story of how Red Hat went from a CD in a Ziploc bag to a billion-dollar business that inspired GitHub, Coinbase, and much of the cloud infrastructure we use today.But this conversation is about more than just software. Bob opens up about betting his family's finances on Red Hat, the moment he realized he wasn't meant to be a public company CEO, and why he believes capitalism, when done right, can be a powerful force for good.He also shares what he's building now (including a needlepoint company), how he thinks about failure, and the one principle he thinks every founder should live by.Where to find Bob:Lulu.comNeedlepoint.comTimestamps:(00:00) The challenge of fragmented attention and overbooked schedules(05:09) Red Hat's founding story and the philosophy behind open source(08:56) Why the internet is the world's largest open source project(13:34) From newsletter publishing to reinventing Linux(19:49) Why customers chose Red Hat: control, not cost(22:12) The business model insight that changed everything(24:44) How IBM's services model inspired Red Hat's structure(27:36) Scaling Linux for enterprise and dealing with constant updates(36:24) Proprietary software as a modern feudal system(43:33) Racking up $50K in credit card debt to keep Red Hat alive(49:01) Trust, marriage, and startup risk(55:05) Leaving Red Hat and why Bob stepped down as CEO(59:23) What sleep taught Bob about optimism and recovery(01:06:10) Red Hat's culture of ownership and accountability(01:14:24) Why Bob still builds: making the world a better place through business(01:15:02) The importance of discipline and organization(01:17:08) Founders' advice: serve customer needs, not just wantsIn this episode, you'll learn:How Red Hat became the first successful open source companyWhy control—not price—is the real value of open source softwareWhat makes transparency a business strategy, not just a virtueHow capitalism and idealism can actually alignWhy understanding customer needs matters more than their wantsThe difference between proprietary and democratic tech systemsHow to build culture that owns mistakes and learns out loudWhat it really means to commit to your co-founder and spouseHow to navigate failure, burnout, and your own limitations as a leaderWhat keeps Bob starting new companies in his third and fourth actsConnect with Alisa!

In TechSurge's Season 1 Finale episode, we explore an important debate: should AI development be open source or closed? AI technology leader and UN Senior Fellow Senthil Kumar joins Michael Marks for a deep dive into one of the most consequential debates in artificial intelligence, exploring the fundamental tensions between democratizing AI access and maintaining safety controls.Sparked by DeepSeek's recent model release that delivered GPT-4 class performance at a fraction of the cost and compute, the discussion spans the economics of AI development, trust and transparency concerns, regulatory approaches across different countries, and the unique opportunities AI presents for developing nations.From Meta's shift from closed to open and OpenAI's evolution from open to closed, to practical examples of guardrails and the geopolitical implications of AI governance, this episode provides essential insights into how the future of artificial intelligence will be shaped not just by technological breakthroughs, but by the choices we make as a global community.If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

The Daytona founders - Ivan Burazin and Vedran Jukic - discuss their pivot to an AI agent cloud. We dig into the new infrastructure requirements of developing agents that need their own sandboxes to operate in.A year ago, we had them on to talk about Daytona giving us remote development environments for humans, and they have now pivoted the company to focusing on providing cloud hosting environments for AI agents to operate.I suspect this is something we're all gonna eventually need to tackle as we work to automate more of our software engineering. So we spend time breaking down the concepts and the real world needs of humans developing agents, and then the needs of AI that require places to run their own tools in code.Check out the video podcast version here https://youtu.be/l8LBqDUwtV8Creators & Guests Cristi Cotovan - Editor Bret Fisher - Host Beth Fisher - Producer Ivan Burazin - Guest Vedran Jukic - Guest You can also support my content by subscribing to my YouTube channel and my weekly newsletter at bret.news!Grab the best coupons for my Docker and Kubernetes courses.Join my cloud native DevOps community on Discord.Grab some merch at Bret's Loot BoxHomepage bretfisher.com (00:00) - Intro (06:08) - Daytona's Sandbox Technology (12:57) - Practical Applications and Use Cases (14:29) - Security and Isolation in AI Agents (17:59) - Start Up Times for Sandboxing and Kubernetes (22:51) - Daytona vs Lambda (31:06) - Rogue Models and Isolation (34:54) - Humanless Operations and the Future of DevOps (47:17) - SDK vs MCP (50:15) - Human in the Loop (51:13) - Daytona: Open Source vs Product Offering

You are now going to be managing this AI workforce that you really do need to treat like a team of interns that you're delegating work to, that you're giving feedback on, and all of those skills of sort of like more senior-level engineering of design reviews, code reviews, feedback, like that's gonna be more central than actually writing a line of code yourself."Rodrigo Nader"We're going to see millions and millions more agents than humans very soon, right? So we don't think that these agents are going to emerge from, one, only developers, meaning like hard-code developers, neither from big companies creating solutions that will suddenly solve all the problems."

I admire your dedication to the role.” “Today I am letting go of the things that are holding me back from the life that I want to live. Then I'm picking them all up again because I have separation anxiety.”
