Sorry to hear. You’re not alone and I’m constantly surprised to learn how many people I know are dealing with hearing concerns once I started talking about mine more. My note to younger self is similar: get great earplugs and use them dilig

No code or pseudocode for the algorithm? Boo. Something like this would be nice to add to my app JukeLab that turns your tablet into a jukebox, powered by Spotify. It currently uses Fisher Yates to shuffle for auto play which does feel weir

Show HN a fun app I made… A virtual iPod where you can add a Spotify playlist then send the link to your friends. https://www.jukelab.com/ipod?layout=pink There are other “vintage” music players like vinyl, cassette, Winamp

Love the demoscene. As kid with my first computer, demos like Second Reality were pure magic to download, run and watch. I still use demoscene videos a lot in my DJ and VJ work. If you know you know but most ppl have never seen these works

As we speak I’m hacking on an art project with three.js and frame.js. Thank you for these!

https://www.jukelab.com/ Turn your iPad into a jukebox. I’ve thrown 20+ parties with it and it’s always a hit. Putting it out in the universe for fellow jukebox nerds to try out too!

Not complete or permanent but it’s mellowing out over time to where I almost never hear it during the day, and it’s no bother at a quiet night, and easily masked by a fan or a podcast. The main things for me were - take a major break from d

Amen to always having good ear plugs. I tried many including the Eargasms and never found a comfortable fit. So I got molds and custom ear plugs from Westone. They are so comfortable and high quality they often improve the quality of the mu

This is my hypothesis too. I participated in YC S15. We all quit our jobs, and my co-founders moved to from Atlanta to SF for the summer, we rented a big house as a live/work space, and drove together to Mountain View the required few

The std library is a big part of the magic. It’s so shocking to go to JS land and see that there are 10 different 3rd party libraries to make http requests, all with wildly different ergonomics all within one code base due to cross dependen

Obviously different perspectives in this thread. Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike, and Ken Thompson are objectively smart men and pioneers and have learned from lots of mistakes both they and the industry made. Go embodied a lot of those learning

Thank you Go team and project! Go continues to be my favorite language and experience to build and maintain in. They got so much right from the start, then have managed to make consistent well reasoned, meaningful and safe improvements to t

I live in outer mission and cycle Valencia street frequently. Valencia is totally jacked for cars now. I’m often speeding down the bike lane past bumper to bumper traffic either direction. If any car stops for pedestrians, passenger pick up

Ah, thanks for the info about the hub. Mission street is an obvious “artery” to drive up and down looking for people and going too/from a hub. I also suspect the bus lanes help in a way. Just go with the flow in the single car lane.

The Cruise app is “invite only until they have more cars”. So not fast for me yet. For friends that do have an invite it seemed pretty much the same as an Uber. 10 or so minutes to get a ride home around dinner time.

There’s a parallel with ChatGPT. It’s like an intern that never gets tired of reading and learning and answering any question the moment you ask it any time of the day.

It’s wild to see how many of these cars are cruising up and down Mission street at night. I’m as pro robot as much as anyone and didn’t fully appreciate the benefits of drivers that never get tired until now.

Plus there is an opportunity for all the cars to learn the same lesson at once and forever. Also humans can learn from this too. It’s not hard to imagine a new type of safety cone that has an explicit sign for autonomous vehicles to stop fa

Great read and interactive demo. After a few years of dabbling with Flutter I just came back to the same conclusion: bet on HTML. Astro / Tailwind / Daisy UI / Alpine.js makes it lovely to build an HTML site with a lot of sim

I’ve wondered by watching the SF rollout of more autonomous vehicles if there is central monitoring of many cars by humans. While not fully automated, one or two people could monitor a fleet of hundreds of cars for problems with the vehicle

I’m an SF resident that is an anti-car as anyone but this is so misguided. The real problems are: - vehicles owned and operated by a single driver. These take up precious space for parking instead of living - auto accidents due to human err

I see your point in terms of individual musical talent and skill. I think we agree… They unlocked something as a band where the musical sum is greater than the individual parts, which makes them special.

Listen to Dark Side of the Moon start to finish. If you have and still don’t like Floyd, that’s ok. They are amazing musicians, pioneers of psychedelic rock, modern studio recording, and storytelling through long play albums. Imagine buying

The process I follow: 1. 30m phone screen with the hiring manager with standard interview questions and explain the process. 2a. Ask candidate for code example. If they have OSS work or personal projects we can look at that first instead of
