In my experience, the parent's view and your view are an example of the divide between the Silicon Valley / startup mindset -- it doesn't need to last, it just needs to get us a pa…

Radio Paradise ( https://radioparadise.com ) has been my go-to for years. Discovered a lot of great new music through here.

You don't need it. The mouse functions perfectly fine without it. And you can even switch DPI when the mouse has a button to do that. The software allows for fine-tuned settings, b…

Thanks! I hate it! In awe at whatever inspired this though

The death of what.cd was also the end of an era for me. I know "replacements" have popped up but the real value of what wasn't in the piracy, it was in the community. It was the be…

It's published but I would doxx myself by posting the link here -- I can email you if you'd like. Also, full disclosure, because this was written entirely for myself, the code behi…

Two things right now: 1. A music recommendation tool based on Last.fm scrobble history. It's graph-based, no ML or "fancy" techniques, but I've had good results with it so far. It …

Another recommendation is LinearMouse. It lets you fix pretty much every problem that MacOS inflicts on mouse users: pointer acceleration, scroll behavior, click/button behavior. T…

Very interested to know how you built this; I'd like to see similar data for my own dump even though I quit Spotify some time ago.

There's also Reverse Shot: https://reverseshot.org/ The Dissolve alumni are all (mostly) writing at various publications: https://thedissolve.com/ While David Bordwell sadly passed…

Maybe silly is the wrong word. But sometimes I think I would make things easier on myself if I allowed some shade variants. It's good for me to keep the constraint though. I've bee…

I do wish there was more conversation around the levels of blackness for dark modes. Black screen and white text is physically painful for me. I usually have to resort to reader mo…

This continues to be the most tiring response to any criticism of LLM output. It's pretty much guaranteed to show up at this point. I guess with similar enough input tokens, we're …

Since when is a simulation equal to real world performance?

In my experience, Codex / ChatGPT are better at telling you where you're wrong, where your assumptions are incomplete, etc., and better at following the system prompts. But more im…

Delphi has an amazing RAD environment. For building small, self-contained desktop apps (with cross-platform support!) it beats any other modern offering... if you can get past the …

I've been thinking of jumping into this sooner rather than later because I see this becoming a Thing eventually. Are you enjoying it?

Fair argument, these devices (the Hiby R4, in particular, which is the one I have) are absolute tanks. Way too heavy and big to throw in your pocket for any reason, especially if y…

I think Fiio and Hiby are the closest that exist today. They have dedicated hardware and physical buttons for the things listed in your comment. However, they do still ship with a …

When I looked for a Plex alternative I settled on Emby. It still has some "premium" features but they're all just QOL, not necessary things. The base app is great and even has hand…

Do you honestly believe that DJs, particularly the very famous ones, just play CDs?

Curious if you've heard of or participated in NaNoGenMo[0] before. With such a corpus at your fingertips could be a fun little project; obviously, pure Markov generation wouldn't b…
