People who are ML freelancers, how do you pull it off?
I'm also building a reverse job board for AI developers like me to find full-time, part-time or contract work. Developers can make a free profile to promote their AI/ML skills and hiring companies can search the profiles and contact developers through the platform. It's an open-source open startup that's a fork of a similar project for rails developers.

How to (better) learn modeling?
Other than reading, the best way to learn domain modeling is to read a lot of code, e.g. Rails codebase (to learn how to model the domain of web applications) or open source repositories (a good one is Railsdevs). Over time, you'll find and understand the common patterns enough to use on your own.

Short Ruby News - Edition #35
Hey, I totally agree with you. Linking to the entire newsletter can be quite overwhelming and comes off as spammy. It would be great if you included the specific links to the tweet or the GitHub repo mentioned in the newsletter. The links you provided, https://twitter.com/joemasilotti/status/1639261944652914688 and https://github.com/joemasilotti/railsdevs.com/which, are definitely more helpful and provide a better user experience. Thanks for sharing!

Opensource Rails Project
I recommend Joe Masilotti's project: RailsDevs. Very well-written and follows most of the Rails best practices. It also uses the Rails recommended front-end stack with Hotwire, Tailwind, etc.

Alt Text box can't fit one screenshot of text
Interestingly there is some discussion for Mastodon with people asking the limit to be smaller, which raises the question as to the purpose of alt text, and how to properly handle larger text lengths in screen reader programs.

Open source at Fastly is getting opener
Through the Fast Forward program, we give free services and support to open source projects and the nonprofits that support them. We support many of the world’s top programming languages (like Python, Rust, Ruby, and the wonderful Scratch), foundational technologies (cURL, the Linux kernel, Kubernetes, OpenStreetMap), and projects that make the internet better and more fun for everyone (Inkscape, Mastodon, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Terms of Service; Didn’t Read).

Bluesky announces data federation for self hosters
Mastodon DMs have absolutely no privacy: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/18079
For a decentralized protocol doing things right is much more important than doing things fast, it is very difficult (and in a lot of cases impossible) to break backwards compatibility.

Ask HN: Best practice for posting links to large Mastodon threads?
Postmortem on what happened here: https://news.ycombinator.com/edit?id=39305884
The v1 API of Mastodon limits the size of the tree that it will expand for users who are not logged into the server: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/blob/main/app/controllers/api/v1/statuses_controller.rb . I am guessing that this or some similar limit applies to threads being returned to unauthenticated users of the web UI. It just arbitrarily stops expanding the replies at some point, including the main thread from the OP.
If a thread is truncated, users expect it to expand automatically and autoscroll when you hit the bottom. In my desktop browser, that does not occur, and there is no indication that there is more to see. This is the situation of the web interface as of Mastodon version 4.2.5.
The issue is very sensitive to observer conditions. If you are logged into the server, the behavior is different. If you use a Mastodon app instead of the web, the behavior might be different. As the tree expands, the cutoffs become different. If you look at the thread on a different Mastodon server, the tree is different because every server has its own view of the Fediverse.
HN needs a best practice for linking to Mastodon threads in a way that provides a consistent experience to HN readers. The average Mastodon server would be crushed by hundreds of HN readers grabbing the entirety of a huge thread all at once, so this might involve some thread-unroll-and-cache service. I tried https://mastoreader.io/ but it did not solve the problem.
Alternately, we push changes into the Mastodon web UI to warn users when they need to click to see more and assume that people will get used to the navigation.
Suggestions?

Unity's Open-Source Double Standard: The Ban of VLC
>You can defeat the Affero clause by putting the software behind a proxy, for example
Could someone elaborate on this? This is NOT my understanding of the license, and it seems absurd considering e.g. Mastodon is AGPL but the standard install requires a reverse proxy[1]. If using a proxy defeats Affero, why would the Mastodon team do this? Are they stupid?
