Thanks... :-) tone is mainly, because m4b-tool / mp4v2 was not capable of writing `movement` and `movement-number` tags, which I use for series and series-part and intelligent playlists in iTunes. Of course coding m4b-tool in PHP was not the best idea (no multithreading), so I had to find a possibility to integrate multiple threads with workarounds. It works, but with tone and C# these are no longer limitations I have.

Audiobookshelf is evolving very quickly, so maybe one day it will provide these features. There are some rough edges, though.

> you just have to keep in your head all the methods that are expected to exist for a given type.

Technically, you don't need to keep that in your head :-) The general approach is to define generic functions and also write docs about how to extend those functions to satisfy interface requirements.

Perhaps not too surprisingly, many of the Julia community people also want to have some official interface support directly from the language. Before that, several open-source projects were spawned to address that gap e.g. here is a shameless plug about my package:

Interesting. However your explanation does not look exactly impartial, what is the story from their side of things?

It also looks stupid and petty to "take revenge" from the system when the system can expel you before you actually do any significant damage. Wouldn't be more logical to rise to the top and bring it down from there by playing the system?

> Why stop at cord compatibility?

Well the biggest reason is because there are a much larger amount of people and law makers who would prefer simply stopping at cord compatibility, and cord compatibility is much easier to implement, and much less disruptive, than more extreme and absurd examples.

Society does not have to do the most extreme thing possible, in every situation.

Instead, society can pick and choose. We can look for easy wins, and do the things that are easy to implement and not do the things that are harder to implement.

In fact, apple is already planning on adding USB C to the next iPhone, if the rumors are true. So it sounds like even they agree that cord compatibility is at least possible for them to do with a reasonable effort.

Ask HN: How can an external app track WhatsApp online status/last seen?
I saw a WA tracker app today, that reminded me of time when I found WhatsDog[1]. You enter a number in the app and it tracks user's online status in the background. It used to work.

Back then (4-5 years ago), I remember de-compiling to understand the tech but couldn't find anything.

How does this work/used to work?

My guess is that they would be using the loophole where anyone can see if the user is online (even if the user hasn't saved your number[2]) and replicating requests like WhatsApp web client. Doesn't sound a good/scalable solution to me.

It makes me wonder about other impurities. If platinum can have one effect, maybe another can have the opposite.

Operations on a list (like map, filter) are not effectful computations.

The problem with many monad explanations is they explain only particular monads. IO and State can be thought of as effectful computations, but List operations cannot.

Monads are just a pattern for composing computations, it doesn't say anything about the semantics of those computations.

I like the idea behind it, looking at the Caro course and a few things:

1. I wish the board was actually bigger, and the notes for each move were easier to read. On my Macbook the sidebar takes up too much space and theirs tons of free space for the board to be bigger.
2. I wish it was more convenient to go down random side lines and then return to the main line.

So mostly usability problems? The idea to make a club-level Chessable is good though, honestly I've wanted a better LiChess Study alternative, the spaced repetition is a good feature to work for but honestly I think usability/smoothness and having easy to understand/read captions for moves and why they are important is better.

If I know why certain moves are better I don't have to memorize them, or it will make it easier to memorize in the future.
"You have a very rose colored view of the world."

Perhaps I do, and perhaps I don't. But I'd prefer we discuss the issue than my general view of the world.

Let's take your scenario: someone is on the brink of starvation, and an opportunity to sell drugs (and not starve) falls in their lap. They take it (without any prior plan). This is definitely opportunistic.

What happens if the above situation is repeated a second time? Do we consider that opportunistic as well?

How many times does someone have to take such an opportunity before we consider them selling drugs as being 'what they do' or part of their plan?

Unless the chance of being arrested is close to 100%, it's unlikely that someone's first arrest for selling drugs coincides with the first time they sold drugs. So is it really opportunistic?

It's ironic because the article you shared to back yourself up is just another "unhinged lunatic" (a more wonky better lunatic-nerd than I, I can admit, but also manipulative & with less base to go off) going the fuck off, going rabid hog wild, end over end.

Apple's locking down of the app store & obstruction of the web, however, is blatant & obvious for all, is clear & longstanding & critical.

(Scandinavia is as close to an ideal that I can imagine, though I know American society is so focused on antiquated notions of revenge and punishment that it's going to be a long time coming to view these as places of rehabilitation and reintegration than of violent, dehumanizing retribution. The state has a duty to ensure humane and dignified treatment for everyone in its care.)
First of all Cloud Run only provides the workload / container part of an application. SetOps also does more like managing databases, storage, backups, monitoring, network security, etc.

Also you have some potential for saving money by over-provisioning your workloads on the actual compute instances, which is, as far as I can see, is not possible with Cloud Run.
I did a lot of product development using Micropython over the past year or so. There are certain things it is very good at - one is rapid prototyping. For instance it’s a lot easier and faster and less verbose to quickly get some http server communication going on the ESP32 in Micropython rather than the C equivalent.

The downsides are somewhat dramatic though - it’s, of course, a lot slower and hungrier for memory than the C equivalent code, but it’s also still missing a lot of API’s and fine grained control, at least for the ESP32. For instance, what finally made me switch to the ESP-IDF was complete lack of support for ADC2 on ESP32 in Micropython. Having to recompile the Micropython firmware to change a good chunk of the configuration parameters was also annoying because it takes a decent amount of time to compile and reflash firmware.

Bottom line is that Micropython is a great project for certain things - some home automation and simple sensors. On things where performance doesn’t matter or isn’t bottlenecked by the Python interpreter (like simple HTTP communication) it’s great. It also has a surprisingly robust open source driver ecosystem, provided you aren’t trying to do anything fancy with SPI.

It falls apart when you need to work with it professionally though. So use it to build and test your product, but rewrite it in C/C++ when it gets closer to ship time.

Malicious compliance.

I don't know the game, but even before reading this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31662776 I couldn't help supposing that some people at the company think, fuck them for this stupid law, let's punish these countries.

Then I started wondering how to prevent malicious compliance.

In my opinion it makes sense to steer dangerous products causing addictive behavior like drugs as in opioids, cannabis, nicotine. Note! Only steer, not forbid. For me it looks like that Europe is trying to do the right thing but they didn't yet find out how.

Malicious compliance somehow needs to be steered, too, because it causes real damage.

Edit: I am not sure whether one uses the word "steer" as I did, but the synonym "regulate" sounds too bureaucratic to me.
