I remember the acid house generator, but I missed that constellation of samples sounds really interesting. Would love to see it if you had a link.

Found it, and after a few months since it was posted, I was misremembering the scope of the list; it’s significantly more than just electronic music.

Might be referring to Ishkur’s Guide To Electronic Music? https://music.ishkur.com/

And when I tried it, for me seemed to have the best call quality, it was better than my network call quality.

This is really cool. I really like the cpu / profiling usage too for flame graphs.

For disk usage I would normally use du and/or filelight which is also great.

This is a nice way to visualise all the sub directories too in one go though.

Yeah, I just switched to rdio and I love it. The interface is so clean and slick. It's a lot less buggy / unreliable than Spotify imo. It's such a pity.

Strange. I was the biggest Rdio advocate until it just flat out didn't work on my MacBook. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck. Support couldn't do much for me. I ended up moving to Spotify and while I agree that Rdio has a superior UI, Spotify worked consistently on my machine. Plus, their mobile app, especially offline playback, is a godsend on long trips.

And I just switched from Spotify to rdio. What timing!

Just tried to understand the last bit myself.

So he's doing 0["constructor"] which gives the constructor of a number, Number. Then he's 0["constructor"]["constructor"] gives the constructor of Number, which is like a function, so he gets Function.

    var y = (0)["constructor"]["constructor"];
    y == Function;                                 // true

Then he basically does this ($.$ == Function):

    Function(
        Function(
            "return \"alert('I love you');\""
        )()
    )();

The inner function just returns the string "alert('I love you');", which then becomes the body for the outer function.

I don't know why they didn't make it:

Function ("alert('I love you');")();

Maybe they needed more chars for the heart. That was a good little crash course in javascript Function constructors!

I was a bit confused by the double Function call too. The string input to the first Function is:

    "return"ale\162t(\"\111\40lo\166e\40\171ou.\"\40)""

which when evaluated becomes:

    "alert("I love you." )"

He gets the other letters from names of types and other JS native things. I guess he couldn't get 'r', 'I', ' ', 'v' or 'y' and so had to make them using the octal escape codes.

Do you know of any good alternatives with servers outside the US?

I think you just send the SDF a dollar bill, that's it. You could just call a friend at the other side of the country and ask them to send it.

One problem is https urls don't seem to work properly, the colon seems to be stripped from the input.

https://duckduckgo.com changes to https//duckduckgo.com, which doesn't work, so you have to resort to the unsecure version.

I think we need a decentralized, anonymous filesharing protocol, something like i2p or tor, but optimised / adapted for bittorrent.

It would have to be something that anyone can use and is a no brainer to get working. Could even use something like paypal / google checkout / bitcoin to allow artists to accept payments for their uploads.
