Show HN: Conjugate, Golang CLI tool that converts YouTube Music to Spotify links
I've started work on a tool that I envision will allow users to easily convert links from one music streaming service to another. The reason for it's existence is I was tired of opening Spotify to search a link to a song I'm trying to show someone, since nobody I know uses YouTube Music, and I really don't want to use Spotify.

Right now it only supports converting Youtube Music links to Spotify, as that is my use case, but the framework is there for other streaming platforms that expose APIs. I made it because I'm envisioning a tool built on top of it that can port playlists between services, perhaps even in real time - so that collaborative playlists across platforms becomes possible.

The biggest challenge I'm facing right now is the fact that YouTube Music does not have any public API at all as far as I can tell, limiting me to the YouTube Data API, which is not ideal. Spotify seems to have a lovely API though!

It's very early stages, but if the idea interests you, let me know what you think!

Yes the new residential houses are hard-edged bunkers built from randomly connected boxes chosen for function, that fill every last square metre on the block. It is ugly, aggressive and unsettling to look at.

The rare house with a classical interpretation is a godsend to look at. Your eye can actually rest along a well designed set of horizontal lines and a trianglar roof. They are the last refuge of nice curves and shapes that make full use of all three dimensions.

The flat and boring cubes randomly mangled together with a single tacked-on feature to show off and some expensive materials that attempt to pass for grace, are the coming wave of babylonian australia that I cant see the virtue in. Painting that stuff purple won't save it.
To build on your last point, if your return rate is above ~10% - 15% depending on category (as a merchant), you actually get penalized by Amazon to the point where they will de-list your product. Return rate targets vary by category, but in general most merchants want them to be under 5%.
Just this year I'm on 108 orders and counting, every
single one of them was fine, working, definitely not
used, definitely not counterfeit

I've had the same experience as you, over roughly the same number of orders in the USA.

I've also never really heard anybody else complaining about problems with Amazon either. I have a pretty large extended social circle, and I just don't hear any problems.

I 100% believe those who say they have these problems! I'm just trying to put things in perspective.
Am I the only one who was annoyed that they made the beta docs the main docs before version 5 was even released?
I think this is a question that only you will be able to answer.
If it’s tracking global numbers, then white colour dominance could be attributed to Asia, especially Southeast. They love white cars as they heat up much less in the sun. My rough eye balling estimate is that 80% of cars in Vietnam are white.
Special cars still come in plenty of special colors, such as 911 GT3 RS: https://blog.dupontregistry.com/porsche/2019-911-gt3-rs-colo...
Apple is restraining their hands so they can't fight back while they are being punched in the gut. This is not a peaceful act.

The Dactyl looks great, thanks. Yeah, I think hacking a foot pedal in wouldn't be the toughest job.
I've actually done this experiment by putting a GPT-3 bot in a Telegram group. Its replies were mostly stuck in an uncanny valley where they sort of made sense, but often either lacked detail or seemed to very slightly misunderstand what the topic of discussion was. This might have been just because I didn't include enough context in the prompt, however. I have some plans for improving the prompting strategy, so we'll see.

I actually recently wrote a post on the topic of whether GPT-3 can be said to understand anything[1]. The argument is a bit too long to summarize here, but I don't think what GPT-3 is doing is as fundamentally different from what human brains do as people seem to think.

If that change goes through your whole program without causing any breakage, from Haskell's point of view it's a good change.

If you have an API that exposes data to external systems, that may cause an integration breakage, indeed. That is why Haskell users like to use libs like Servant, which let you specify your API as a type. This way, if you change your system, your API has to change aswell.

Another benefit of Servant is that you can generate swagger and clients for other languages easily, which your users can use in their own build to get type safety too.

Aren't the fuel filters in cars good enough to prevent engine damage even if foreign objects or residue were to end up in the tank?

I'm 50% through Code right now. How is Designing for Data Intensive Applications? What would you say was the most valuable thing you got from it?
Ah. I’m with you on that in general, but I am considering buying a used 911, want Speed Yellow or Riviera Blue, and have realized that it might be much cheaper and easier to find a black/silver/white car with the mechanical options I want and wrap it for color. Especially white as they seem to come with a discount.
It looks like marketing tech. You plug your customer and sales data into their platform and get recommendations for running different ad/sale campaigns and personalized product/bundle recommendations to increase your sales.
My understanding is that the legal and technical process for getting ISPs to block access to a foreign website is one that takes weeks or months. Also, even with this power, I'm not sure how effective the MAFIAA have been at stopping people from downloading copyrighted media:

Wrapping is reversible though. And pretty well established at this point. It could also protect your original coat - that’s a benefit.

I think the only reason people use the shell for scripting is that

ls -lsa /tmp

is simpler to write than

execute(["ls", "-lsa", "/tmp"])

or even

execute("ls -lsa /tmp")

Totally agree!
Oh wow, I didn't realize he had recently died. His book Impossibility had a big impact on me growing up.

I do remember hearing a story about him, perhaps apocryphal. Apparently a grad student had been working on a paper and wanted to get Barrow's thoughts on it. With a great deal of trepidation, the student presented the draft to Barrow and Barrow said he'd take a look. A few days later Barrow returned the paper to the grad student with no changes, except for adding "John D. Barrow" to the author list. :)
My fraternity in college (an engineering school) had pretty much all Carver amps. The folks that picked them were electrical engineers focusing on audio, and beside Marshall Leach, Carver was considered a god. I vividly remember the Carver Powercube could rattle windows halfway across campus.
My hack to get around this was to have the user an groupadmin but not necessarily a member of the group. Then that user could add and remove themselves from a group as required, keeping under the 16 limit.
Is there any science on what ergonomic risks exist and what kinds of mediations improve things? I have only seen articles sponsored via various keyboard companies.
Yep. If we were transported to a time 100 years before the present, I think we'd find ourselves surprised by just how modern our environment felt.

Then what did you mean by, "The equipment required for storing either is similar" and "there is already a great deal of equipment for manipulating hydrogen"? Interpreting this as saying that natural gas infrastructure can be repurposed to work with hydrogen makes sense even if it is based on a false assumption that this is feasible. This claim that we have a great deal of equipment for manipulating hydrogen would be true if natural gas and hydrogen infrastructure were interchangeable.

But if you do understand that hydrogen and natural gas infrastructure are different, then this statement is just totally unsubstantiated. You knew that our hydrogen infrastructure is several orders of magnitude smaller, but you just say the complete opposite?
Does anyone still use above-ground tanks? Just wondering if there's any truth to buying gas in bulk during cold weather for density reasons.
(though I'd imagine the price/barrel has been fluctuating more than the temperature would cause lately)

Changes Coming to Pip 20.3
Do you think it's about the car? Because I also occasionally encounter a gas pump that automatically shuts off while the tank is still empty. I don't see how the car has any influence on that, so I assumed it's the pump. But as it happens, I think my Prius is also from 2008.

You misunderstand success. Yes regulation inhibits profit. In return businesses are forced to offer more utility to users and to develop better technologies. The Chinese economy is more of a cartel with tight bonds between business and government all attempting to serve the government and meet its foreign policy goals. In a deregulated economy, the result is the same except it's private companies with no transparency or accountability owning and operating the cartel instead of a public organization like the government.

And the U.S. is in a depression. There is no plan for the Federal Reserve to recoup all the 6 trillion plus dollars it's invested in the last few months. Our economic demise is coming soon.
What is the risk they pose?
As others said, but more specifically, requiring billing zip code to match what's on file for the credit card can significantly reduce fraud, and that impacts the processing fees. Some merchant accounts may charge less if the billing zip code matches, some accounts might not have a difference in charges and may even actually charge a fee to do the address verification, but the reduction in chargebacks could be meaningful.
I've seen a lot of interesting colors, colors that just don't get captured by that chart.

> Me too! I dread package upgrades because it can instantly turn into an all-hands-on-deck emergency, and these are just the stand-alone packages, not all the ones I mentioned above.

That PAM issue last month cost me ~8 hours (5 to drive home, long story). Nevertheless, it was the first time in about 2 years that I'd run into this kind of pain with Arch. Mostly the OS has been rock solid and out of the way, and I enjoy being able to dive deep when needed. I'd given linux a try every few years since 2001. Arch was the first distro that stuck for me. It's like the OS equivalent of writing a library from scratch vs plugging into someone else's framework. It's hard to imagine going back at this point.
> "Why can't returned goods be resold as "open box" or "scratch and dent" products with missing or damaged packaging for a significant discount?"

Most likely because a person has to carefully inspect and repackage it (expensive and the volume is large) and it's a separate inventory category that has to be managed and have separate storage space allocated for it (another expense) and, on top of all that, it doesn't bring in as much money as a new item. And if there was some problem or damage that wasn't caught by the inspection, it's yet another return.

The difficulty of managing customer returned items is common to all retailers and has been known for a while, e.g.:

The comment mentioned Facebook but that doesn't mean you should compare Facebook salaries in San Jose to non-Facebook salaries in Dallas.

Compare Facebook salaries in San Jose to Facebook salaries in Dallas, that would be a fair comparison. Compare median salaries in San Jose to median salaries in Dallas, that would be a fair comparison.

Compare Facebook salaries in San Jose to median salaries in Dallas, that is not a fair comparison and you know that, you are wasting my time by making me type it out for you, you know full well that that is not a fair comparison.
I ordered a laptop directly from Lenovo, I paid less than the price in Amazon by a fair bit, and it arrived quickly and all was good... (Canada, YMMV)
That "horrible treatment" is an invention on the part of those who would like to stifle dissent and paint anti-war activism as unpatriotic.

What's annoying is that even cars you have to wait for don't have interesting color choices. Pretty much the only way to get a Tesla is to order it online and wait for them to build it for you. So why don't they have any interesting colors to choose?
Thanks for the gallery! I'm surprised there aren't more integrated pointing devices (like TrackPoints).
I miss the yellows, oranges and greens from the 70s
And the interiors of these new places too!

White walls, white cabinetry, neutral coloured couches.

It's very much in fashion now, I wonder whether they will look as drab as brutalist buildings in the coming decades (well in the decades before brutalist became novel and exciting again).

As I understand it, petroleum companies provide "winter mixes" of fuel that accommodate for the difference in density, so there isn't a real advantage to this.
Sadly, the IPMI implementation in the X470D4U series is awful. The remote console crashes frequently and is generally pretty unreliable. I'm disappointed that Supermicro doesn't have any Ryzen AM4 server boards. AMD getting ignored by many of the server vendors is just a repeat of what happened when the Opteron series was first introduced. At least there are a number of Epyc server boards available.
of course you could, using second hand stuff. I haven't tried pi 4 yet but anything with a modern ish i5 and mic input should suffice (Gigabyte Brix, Lenovo Thinkcentre Mini), can be picked up cheaply and run both Windows and linux well. look for some USB foot pedals as they are cheap, low latency switches which act like a keyboard so you can assign pretty much anything to them within the OS. they come in singles or triples. as for an amp, studio monitors can suffice (I use a pair of Behringer MS20s which cost <$100) since playing live they will be miced up and/or routed directly to the venue's PA anyway. it might be janky, less durable and less reliable but it's great fun and certainly not impossible
This story never made sense to me. If they know about meat, then they know about intelligent creatures made of it, for some value of intelligence. Otherwise where would the meat they have seen come from?

I you want to quickly write some math to your website without necessarily knowing latex, then I wrote a tool called MathUp[1] which takes quick to write and easy to read math expressions and translates them to native MathML.

Precisely. These businesses exist to minimize risk, which includes personnel risk. Everyone should be replaceable, even upper management. (Which is to avoid the psychological costs of replaceability or of investing oneself into work one knows that plenty of other people could do-- that is not something companies concern themselves with.)
Now that you mention it. After the QM course there was a solid state physics course where quantum effects show up and where it's applied to electronics/semiconductors.
There's a station local to me with above ground tanks. They're in an area that flood regularly, which is why the tanks aren't buried.

I've never noticed a measurable difference when filling up the 20 gallon tank in the truck.

I suspect you'd have to buy a LOT to make a meaningful difference.
Yes, I've done this my whole life and seen many (most?) others do it too. I've never even seen thought it's a bad idea, because the gas pump shut off has worked 100% of the time for me.

Go to a gas station, start pumping, and lock it, then go inside the gas station to buy some snacks. When I come back outside, the gas is full and I can go on my way.
Any concrete recommendations for building a SaaS or consultancy around a stack of open source tech with a given theme (anyone)? I whole heartedly agree, but then feel like a snake oil salesman without showing what it actually does as part of extending to what we want to do together. I do this perhaps as proof that I can deliver what I say, maybe that’s not an impulse that should be acted upon? Thanks.
Good. You do you. My point is that you appear to be taking offence on her part when you don't know if any offence was actually caused. Or indeed whether, as her friend, the author knows that she prefers to be referred to as Andrea, even in the written form.

What are your thoughts on SAS Inst. Inc. v. S&H Computer Sys. Inc.? Does it fall into the grouping above in your opinion? I find it to be a very quirky decision in light of the merger doctrine principles you wrote about, unless I'm missing something.
Yes, I can see how it would help there. I was more thinking of the situation where you take a QM course and don't apply it to an electronics problem. I agree that it's doable for mere mortals, but it might take a fair bit of time!

If you're saying this with no sarcasm at all, you might be in a bit of a bubble.

While it may have very well been illegal, you can be wholeheartedly assured that the statement of non-negligible strappedness in a South Dallas club circa late '80s is true.

Seems like a lot of this must be that manufacturers have decided to use paint color as a way to milk you at buy time, where fun colors often cost $2000 on options sheet, which is like pure markup.

> They have whole retail chains devoted to it, when everyone I know in Europe gets it replaced once a year at their annual dealer service, with no checking in between.

Those retail chains will actually do the full periodic servicing that a dealer would. We just refer to that service generically as an “oil change”. And we get that service based on mileage rather than annually.

Also, all Europeans go back to the dealership for periodic maintenance? There are no independent shops that do this? Nobody does it themselves? So if you have a BMW you have to take it to the BMW dealer in particular? Sounds like lock-in to me.
You're getting them anyway, but sure in the sense that you're getting part-premium. I don't know many, if any in the US, that have actual USTs full of midgrade and don't blend the two more common ones at the dispenser.
Correct, so businesses that rely on exploiting minimum wage earners go out of business.

Society needs to find a way to have people gainfully employed keeping the minimum wage at poverty levels is not a good choice.

I’m a big fan of modernist architecture but I’ve noticed once modern type buildings become the default they start to look like horrible boxes someone drew in 30 minutes on a computer.
I attribute this to the increasing attitude of treating a car as an appliance. It seems cars have less to did with an individual's identity than in past years, and tinkering is less common. Perhaps the reduction in tinkering is because some people with the tinkering inclination have moved t computers and software instead.
