It works with Spotify. Sadly Fitbit and Android Wear do not do Spotify offline and every other option is a hassle. It's a shame because I find the apple watch insanely ugly.

If I recall correctly the audio tag RFC first came out in 2000 but I'd be shocked if any major browsers supported it.

I've read a lot of Marx and I think this is ultimately less about alienation and more about guilt.

No doubt. I think that sitting in room all days drags on some people the way climbing up a pole with equipment all day might drag on another. And sometimes you just want something radically different. But don't pretend it's simple

There's something so insidiously, backhandedly condescending about tech workers pining for the simplicity of an honest day's job that drives me nuts. Yes, there are almost always jobs with less strenuous requirements on time, fewe

I think this is a nit - most modern compiled languages do this but at the compiler level.

The lock concept isn't at all unique to npm/yarn because you need some form of checksum/hash verification. Even if you trust your source that's unlikely to be part of a repo and doesn't guarantee the next develope

But again - and this is mentioned in the page, nothing here is unique to Deno. It semantically feels different, but is in practice no different than most dependency management systems.

I think you're maybe confusing what's effectively a namespace and point in time install with a dynamic import. Otherwise there's no difference between http "imports" and any dependency management system (which ultim

This is likely because the approaches and techniques are not measurably different with a "2D" animated movie in 2022 or recently, unless they're doing some retro cel animation. Disney's last was The Princess and The Frog

In this case you'd simply do the tunnel for 3306:3306. Your frontend and backend code would run locally and connect to MySQL through the proxy. You wouldn't have to change any backend configuration.

That's definitely less than I'd expected and now it doesn't feel all that magical that it's running from a single box. I have a site with ~ 2.5M req/day running on an m3.medium instance that rarely spikes 10% cpu. N

I did sleep studies, medicines (including modafinil which worked but had scary sides), natural supplements (which helped but tended to result in lesser quality sleep). In the end I needed to make sleep my number one priority and I focused o

I do agree on that, I wasn't a huge fan of the storytelling which did a lot of belabored hand-holding and did indeed feel like an amateur who did just enough research to treat the reader like a naive student. That's a hard trick t

I found the concept pretty goofy when I was reading it but then I had to stop and remind myself that not only do I know shockingly little about the universe, our greatest experts do, too. Whatever fantastical concept we can imagine likely e

I think that's my only point of contention. It's clearly a for fun project but you've already got python there to run the raspi gpio pins why not move the server stuff in there? I'm assuming they learned bare minimum pyt

This isn't what happens - you do a port forward and you access your services through localhost:port. Nothing else goes through the tunnel. Endpoint services see the ec2 ip. There is no IP "switching" or risk of getting banned

The use of the term "pipe" definitely implies a sequential pipeline, and in that sense I agree with the author. But it really only manifests after a few function calls, at which point you're forced to find the initial value a

Well I knew I'd be lobbing a softball attempting to describe wine in any way on a forum full of people spending weekends in Napa, so ... OK, let's generalize my comment to "common attributes" of wines like Pinot Noir.

Preface this with whatever caveats necessary: adrafinil is a modafinil prodrug which is unscheduled in the U.S. In other words, it's effectively modafinil in vivo. Secondary note: I was once prescribed modafinil for severe sleeping i
