Go is the choice of professionals IMO.

When you have a team of varying skill levels who need to deliver shit that works on a schedule and still have some kind of performance, you use Go.

Even more so if you need to hand off the maintenance to a team of randoms from god knows where and THEY need to be able to keep it running and add new features.

It doesn't have the fanciest new EXPRESSIVE operators or anything exciting really. It just does the job, albeit verbosely.

You can do fancy shit on your own time.

> Most of the people working on software these days barely know what RSS is

Using my experience from a Polish university from a field of study focused on computer science: Most of my acquaintances know what RSS is. Several of them use it, and way more at least tried. Granted, it is not something nearly as popular as Facebook, Discord or other similar software, but to say no one know exactly what RSS is seems unlikely to me. Maybe it is simply a situation around your peers? Seeing that even Vivaldi browser added built-in RSS support lately, it seems that people that remember RSS are still common enough.

The west is also responsible for producing and glamorizing extremely wasteful lifestyles. We could have bulk food grocery stores where you can bring re-used glass jars but instead everything is wrapped in multiple layers of plastic meant to be tossed as soon as the product is consumed. The USA has pushed an extremely materialistic lifestyle that has driven the mass manufacture of plastic waste. Western countries need to take responsibility for the waste we produce instead of sending it “away” to be somebody else’s problem.

Edit: Just expanding on glass jars - I started saving all of my glass jars about a year ago. My shelf of jars is overflowing now, and they have many uses. I use peanut butter jars to hold my daily smoothie. I make candles with the jam jars.

We know the plastics industry pushed disposable products hard. And to me it speaks to a broader problem with US business logic - lie cheat and steal at any cost and that is "good" for society. There may be unseemly actions down the waste stream but we are responsible for the culture that produces so much trash.

Seems to be another way to force users to use Google news Android feature instead of RSS.

Many, if not most links I get in GNews are sponsored and require an extra subscription.
Podcasts are one thing. Additionally, almost all blogs based on WordPress have RSS enabled, from what I gather. I would say that for a technology clearly not to the liking of services basing their operation on a walled garden principle it stands quite firmly.

[edit]: a missing -s
The podcast ecosystem pretty much runs off RSS (yes, bad actors like Spotify are doing their best to kill it, but the vast majority of podcasts use RSS).
I wasn't prepared for how innate verbal language, specifically stories, are. My kid would come home from preschool and accurately recite ten minute long books, full of unknown words, the same way I idly hum a tune.

If I understood your problem correctly, you need to listen to Spotify through your HomePod which is on the same local network as your Mac.

This is what I do on macOS. I press on the little megaphone icon (enable it in OS sound preferences) in menu bar and then I can choose my HomePod from the list, without any third party software. I am running Big Sur but in two previous versions I also did the same. Maybe I’m missing something here but I think it should work seamlessly.
Yes, it's assuming competition doesn't exist, or that competitors are few enough in number that they can collude to not undercut each other.

An increasing number of necessities are reaching that state, though. The U.S. has about 5 big health insurers, and in a given region you might only have a realistic choice between 2-3 of them. Many regions have only one broadband Internet provider, and one electric/gas/water/sewer/garbage utility. Childcare and housing are competitive, but with an undersupply that's gotten significantly worse during the pandemic. My county closed 75% of its registered daycares during lockdown; fortunately births plummeted and some are coming back, but there've already been pretty significant price increases. A lot of small-time landlords were forced out of the market by eviction moratoriums, so expect even more corporate-owned apartment complexes.

Fix the competition issue and I'm all for UBI, but if you just institute UBI without fixing zoning and antitrust and regulatory capture it's just going to enrich a small class of people.
but electron does have a JS runtime included?
You're speaking of compute resources like they're the biggest bottleneck and not human time. If something takes 100x more compute resources and it saves me 2x time, then I'm 2x more productive. Sure most of those compute resources are wasted but that's besides the point.

Perhaps renaming it to something other than "Really Simple" is the first step toward the people paid from online ads and web commercialisation to start adding complexity.

Surprised I never saw anyone try to inject ads into RSS feeds. Or maybe they did and I never saw it.

Also, the idea of "syndication" seems counter to Google's survival. If we can discover the contents of web pages through automated means via RSS, then the need for people to manually submit "searches" to a single company who "crawls" the web and provides "search" seems less vital. How much data about users can be collected from RSS feed subscriptions. If it does not produce lots of data about users, then it's not worth much to many "tech" companies, including Google. Users can navigate from RSS feeds directly to website pages, bypassing these "tech" middleman companies.

Show HN: A snappy and resilient Hacker News clone in ~1k lines of rust
Do managers write daily? If so my conjecture is they should code daily.

Will they write a UI button. No. But I am not sure that's what a typical coder should be doing in a "programmable company". I am really finding it hard to express this conjecture (it might be rubbish) but why should humans be involved in day to day creativity in the operations of a company? Is it possible at some point to have the operations of a company encoded, moving along and fixed? This is the ideal anyway (the whole point of "change management" is improvements ).

Anyway, my conjecture is that there become three basic management functions - monitoring the company, modelling the company and mentoring the people. I can easily imagine code written to explore new models (it's what everyone does pouring over excel all day - in fact I would suggest a company that can do away with excel from managers is winning)
Spotify has certainly degraded over time.
My latest frustration: Controlling external devices via my computer or phone.

I'll often play from my phone and connect it to my Echo speaker group. This used to work so seamlessly - it was beautiful.

But now - it takes 10 seconds for the initial connect. If I hit play/pause there's a 5-second delay to the point where I'll tap it twice, which is also delayed, and then it'll stutter and jump around. And worst of all: I'll hit pause, come back to it in a few minutes, and it's completely disconnected.
Scaffoldy – Software stack generator for Docker Compose
The problem is that the people with decision power over software are usually not the ones who actually use it and latency issues are more of a subconscious thing. Slow programs just feel less good to use until they reach a pretty high threshold where it feels unbearable.

For speed good enough is just very far away from good (factor 10-1000)
I'm afraid they mean it in the sense of "popular use of the protocol". I'm on Firefox right now, navigate to my personal blog that offers RSS... And none of the buttons in the UI seems to refer to that. If I navigate directly to the RSS, it just shows me the XML. Back in the day, I'd have a button in the URL bar to do something with it.

So, when I work at Google, I don't see any mention of RSS anywhere. It just isn't a thing users would demand. There might be semi-forgotten API endpoints here and there. But I assure you - when the server inevitably gets hit by some deprecation or its team gets reorged enough, it will be rewritten. And the rewrite will almost surely not have such an endpoint, simply because nobody will ever think of it. No vendetta, just lifecycle.

Yes, but you could just sell the data to Facebook for a few billion per year. Make it free and do that, it’ll be much more successful…
It’s certainly an easy fall-person for their performance issues, but it seems just as reasonable to blame an ever-expanding feature set, including advertisements and all of the analytics to go with, along with a great deal of just… age? Spotify isn’t a young company anymore, and they’ve been maintaining their shop for long enough that the kitchen sink is undoubtedly strapped to their app by now.
Can't you just do that outside of Spotify? It would be nicer if you could in app, but with pavucontrol I have Spotify send music where it belongs.
What country are you in? In the past 10 or so years, I have NEVER had a failure with a Chip-and-Pin transaction or a contactless transaction in Canada.
The Spotify website and phone apps don't just have performance issues, they have awful bugs that have been left unfixed for months/years. When streaming to a Chromecast, the UI quickly gets out of sync, randomly disconnects, etc. I'm resorting to using a bluetooth receiver connected to my amplifier because that works better. The recommendations are also getting worse IMO, though that's more subjective, hard to quantify, but the amount of time I spend using Spotify has gone down a lot, just because I'm not discovering enough interesting tracks anymore.

IMO, Spotify is neglecting its core features, and that will ultimately hurt the platform. However, there is such a thing as network effect, and they may have the broadest selection of music. That will keep the platform growing, up to a point. Eventually, the growth numbers may peak and slow down. It's just that there's a lot of inertia right now, and the growth is still going upwards, but eventually, gravity might catch up.

> Rust is very expressive, but it also makes some tasks that are relatively simple in other languages much harder (anything involving tree structures, for instance)

Much harder, not really. Rust lets you add mutability, reference counting and thread safety to your data structures, you just need to know when to use these features. Yes, Go has fully general GC but very few problem domains have a real need for general GC.
Headscale: Implementation of Tailscale Control Server
Spotify's Android app is of very poor quality.

Search is just so basic, you can not have any typos whatsoever.

There is no proper history function. Say you start a radio, it only remembers that you started a radio but if you come back to it you probably will not have the same songs.

Connectivity is piss poor. If you lost connection you will have to restart the app otherwise you won't be able to use search.

While this is about the native desktop client, I assume it has similar problems so the argument that it is only a couple milliseconds of latency doesn't hold up. Their UX is the worst I've ever had to deal with in a music app.
>As for Australian gun control, they banned all semi-autos - that's hardly within reason.

I'm Australian and I support a ban on semi-automatic guns, except for certain people (pest control, etc). I don't see why it's too much of a burden for a civilian with a gun to have to spend a second to cock it.

Maybe you've heard of Port Arthur, the event that motivated the ban?

Maybe some of them would have survived if we slowed him down a bit.
Couldn't say, of course, but that's an interesting idea. I think you're right to look to the past for selection pressures that might explain why we are how we are. It's true that a number of tasks we'd need to do in primitive living are low on mental effort over a relatively long time. That could help explain why absent a need, we still want to do similar things.

You can avoid starvation by increasing the priority of a job (an RPC in this case) when it hasn't made progress for a while. Or you can do weighted scheduling where the shortest job has a higher probability of being scheduled (e.g. WDRR) instead of absolute priority.

> Not everyone wants democracy right now.

Have you looked up polls of Afghanistan’s citizens on whether they want a democratic election process, whether they preferred life under the Taliban, etc? They overwhelmingly preferred the state of things under the US’s support and overwhelmingly support democracy. They can’t fight for it because they fear being shot or beheaded by Taliban terrorists. To read their lack of resistance as a rejection of democracy is to deny everyday Afghanis their agency just because they want to survive to see tomorrow.

There’s an easy diagnostic for tongue tie. Have them open their mouth all the way and then (without closing mouth slightly) try to touch their tongue to the roof of their mouth just behind their front top teeth. If they can, they’re fine in that department. Otherwise, it might be worth taking them to a specialist.

Do you or your kid sleep for 11h at a time? If that happens regularly without a clear cause (e.g. getting very little sleep the night before), please have a sleep study done, that isn’t normal and sleep disordered breathing will slowly kill you and make you stupid. Another indication is sleeping with your mouth open.
Such fantasy consoles more often that not have a complete programming setup built-in and are mostly free from programming gotchas that can be present on old hardware.

Not an expert to suggest but here is the path, I followed -
- Go through design inspirations on dribble/behance
- Design a rough design draft on paper as per your use case
- Pick any existing CSS framework sucha tailwind CSS/Bootstrap etc & Get your hands dirty

Being an engineer, downloading a free template and just using it does not suit me. Designing on your own might take time some time but will help your product in long run as using a template restricts creative additions.
Too much work. With Electron, one can just `npm i electron-analytics` and done. Without Electron, libraries like that will have to be patched (at least) to be usable with the custom runtime.

The stability of Spotify is awful, I use Spotify to entertain my kids in the daytime and put them to bed at night so I’m a heavy user. Connecting to external speakers through Connect is very unstable.

The thing that keeps me on Spotify is that I’ve invested a lot (but not insane) time in curating my playlists. If I was guaranteed a high quality experience with a competitor I would make the switch but I’m not going to make the switch just to find out that the competitor also sucks.
> Sucks that these companies like slack and spotify et al. don't just offer the tooling themselves that a subset of their customers clearly want

It would give up control and it's an admission of failure; a slap in the face to some project lead, some designer, some exec, showing that their brilliant ideas were not in fact the superior option for everyone forevermore.

Either of those are unacceptable enough to lock the system down. But both? Never in a million years.

Reminder of the Thalidomide drug:

> Thalidomide is a sedative drug discovered at the end of the 50s, which caused a worldwide tragedy. The drug has been prescribed to many pregnant women in order to relieve pregnancy nausea. It was later found that thalidomide caused irreversible damages to the fetus and thousands of children were born with severe congenital malformations. Many of them did not survive more than a few days after they were born.
