4.6 was the last model that didn’t over-cook its writing in circular loops. I use it as a daily driver and drop into fable when I’m doing higher level architectural work. 4.6 is so much more efficient in its effort. It became obvious to me

It largely works and it's a massive business success. This is the classic engineer asking the 'why this technology?' to what amounts to a business question. They chose it early on, it works, and it makes obscene amounts of re

I do this. The awkward thing is when I am in person or on the phone and have to explain that my customer email address is [their_business_name]@my_weird_domain.tld But the people usually just nod along. The other downside is that it's

Can someone explain to me if EU card transactions are capped, why Stripe charges me (US) the full ride on my EU customer's cards? In fact, I get charged even more for EU cards – perhaps as much as 2.5% extra. I just checked and I get c

I personally don't agree, and my experience is that RSCs embrace the inherent complexity of building websites. All websites span the server and the client to some extent. Giving you the tools to wield those boundaries is actually a bid

It's a shame that VCs have corrupted a $200MM/year business into the perception as a failure. Who cares if the VCs didn't get a large return, or if the outsized impact of the software didn't quite fully capture the value

Though this would be mildly annoying for the earnest case (selling a ticket to a friend), it would be the actual solve to the problem. The parent's suggestion still creates artificial scarcity, which is the real issue: people buying ti

It's really up to the artists. Many are surprisingly cool with it, though there are a few notable exceptions (i.e. Prince). Sounds like the artist in this particlar case gave their blessing. Many bands (like GD and Phish) specifically

Oh hey, it's me! Happy to answer any questions We landed an update on mobile last week that brought all 4,000 artists with a "collection" onto Relisten. That'll be coming to the web and sonos shortly as well. We've

I run Firefox latest so it should work. There's always a risk when going from HTML5->Web Audio. There's an occasional blip that's impossible to avoid (or at least, I have never found a solution). It doesn't happen eve

Thanks! Please do share if you choose to implement it (you can open a Github issue). I'd be glad to add any projects using it to the README.

Gapless 5 was actually the precursor to this library over a decade ago, so Rego deserves full credit. They built the first example of gapless playback on the web and I took inspiration from their techniques. Gapless 5 has a built in UI and

RSC by design does not ship everything to the client. That's one of its basic premises. It ships markup, composed in client interactivity, but you can shed a lot of the code required curate that markup.

This is pretty fascinating and comes with some complicated AI-world incentives that I've been ruminating on lately. The better you document your work, the stronger contracts you define, the easier it is for someone to clone your work.

Yup! We’re just one link in the chain (bands, tapers, archivists, & the listeners), but I appreciate the sentiment. Alec and I have been running Relisten for over a decade and we’ve put a lot of work into it these past few years. Had to

TIL about ambiguous width unicode characters. Turns out some locales render these chars as double width. I'm attempting to work out a solution. Seems like maybe there are some universal half-width characters that can be used. https:&#

I agree with you that we should care more about resource usage, but it's a false comparison. Backend devs control where their code runs, frontend devs don't. You can make more precise decisions when you have complete control over

If we get to the point that AI can run a complete business unencumbered then the world looks very different. At this time, I have very little confidence that AI today can operate my business untouched while OOO. Nor would I want it to. I en
