So I'm maintaining one of my OSS cljs projects. Since co-working spaces are not currently an option, I found the next best thing: You control an 8-bit inspired avatar in a digital space with spatial audio to interact with people around you in the space. The free tier can hold up to 25 people simultaneously. Currently I'm in the east-most room sharing my screen on the cljs project. Anyone is welcome to stop by watch, chat, or find another space to work on their projects and share or not share their screen as well. https://gather.town/i/LZYBw5G6 password is enclojure

Calling it a night for now. Will be at it again intermittently this week.

Yes, it's a great tool. Bob Konferenz also used it. One of the work places from the organizers even rebuild the office in gather. It's great how you can selectively hear what you want.

Twitch is also great for these kind of things, there are some pros and cons to it.

@U8WFYMFRU this looks cool, ping me when you're working on it again, would love to pop in.

That’s neat. I’d love to try that.

It will exist with or without me so anyone's welcome to use it

Signal integrity used to be my favorite subject when I studied electrical engineering. Fun fact - SI problems weren't noticed until electronics got small and fast enough, right around the early 90s. The field still has a lot of heuristics and numerical analysis in it. It earned the nickname "black magic". Attached picture is one of the first books on the subject

That was an awesome read. Low-level signal interference is more common these days for sure. Back in grad school there were some papers we read about using signal interference to detect anomalies or "extra snooping stuff" added to hardware chips. Lots of sophisticated techniques now to detect interference on that level.

that makes the rounds and is fantastic. Reminds me of this one as well: "Can't send emails more than 500 miles" https://web.mit.edu/jemorris/humor/500-miles
