OpenSubsonic ( https://opensubsonic.netlify.app ) is the closest. It's a collaborative effort to extend and modernize the Subsonic API, which had become a sort of de-facto standard…

Why is that relevant to their argument?

This is exactly how the data binding APIs in Fyne (another Go GUI toolkit) work. And it's also an optional feature, so if you want to handle things by registering callbacks and cal…

If you're a news site and you want Google to have a link like "News on Inflation", then just give your article the title "Unpacking the latest inflation data" and save the actual i…

But in this case with slow speed, it's the massive (literally) amount of mass of the cargo ship that gives it an un-intuitively large amount of energy.

Not to mention that eating undercooked meat is a bigger infection risk than living with a pet cat, especially an indoor-only cat.

I drink coffee every morning and have for pretty much my entire adult life. People might be better off for it because coffee in moderation is healthy and has various bioactive comp…

Have you tried my client (github.com/dweymouth/supersonic)? I started this for a similar reason last year - I'm curious to hear your feedback, and if you were interested in contrib…

Ironically, the two main legal drugs (excluding caffeine) - tobacco and alcohol - have some of the worst long term effects. Others can have long term effects though, like MDMA is s…

Speaking technically, methanol isn't produced during distillation, it's concentrated. Since it boils at a lower point than ethanol, it disproportionately comes out in the "heads" o…

https://squabbles.io is the best alternative I've seen. The Fediverse is a cool idea in theory but I think at this point in time it's not ready for primetime. It's too complicated …

Animals devour to survive. Humans (in first world countries at least) don't need to do that. We eat meat because we like it, not because we need to. And we have the choice to do ot…

Hmm that's a good point, that you can use the ultrasonic bandwidth of the LP, which is useless for analog audio, to increase the bitrate. I'd say it's a bit generous to give an LP …

That's when it's used as a "bit crusher" effect by converting to 10/12 bit samples by simple truncation, rather than dithering (randomized rounding up or down to the nearest quanti…

Broadcast NTSC did actually modulate the color signal into a "comb-shaped" frequency spectrum that was overlaid onto the complimentary "comb-shaped" spectrum of the B+W signal, bec…

> Could it handle CD-quality FLAC audio? I doubt it, since CD-quality audio is already objectively better (for human hearing) than analog audio on LPs. The only thing LPs are bette…

192kHz/24bit is definitely overkill but I wouldn't call 16/44 overkill; I'd say it's just about perfect and the engineers who decided on that standard when the CD came to market kn…

For the past several months I've been working on a new cross-platform desktop client for self-hosted Subsonic music servers. The second alpha release was just published yesterday! …
