Any chance anyone knows where to find the playlist of songs used in the video?

Update: Sent NASA an email. I'll post here if I get a response. ^_^

Yay. Thank you HN.
Pr0ject217··on Music for Programming
Sorry, by 'set programming' I meant the DJ term - the specific tracks and sequence of tracks chosen by the DJ.

I would consider all of his mixes 'compatible' with my brain while writing software.

Pr0ject217··on Show HN: PocketBase – Open Source realtime backend in one file
Potentially silly question (I'll go out on a limb anyway).

I would like to create a multi-platform app for non-technical users where their data is transparently self-contained/self-hosted. So, they open a single binary and it presents them with a UI, and the data created from within the app would be stored in their local PocketBase database. However, I wouldn't want the user to have to start a server directly (they wouldn't know what a server is).

So, I think the binary would have to start both the PocketBase server and a front-end server, and then launch a browser (similar to Electron) pointed to their front-end server's port.

Does this sound like a good approach? What could you recommend to orchestrate this seamlessly to make for a simple user experience when launching the app?

Thank you.

I share your distaste for Meta/FB; however, if their investment to advance the 'meta-verse' leads them to invent technologies that end up being used in different contexts by other companies/industries (charting more of the uncharted map), then all the better.

This looks cool.
Pr0ject217··on DRY is an over-rated programming principle?
Thank you for your response. Would you mind clarifying what is clever about it? Thank you very much.

Check out my comment, you might enjoy it as an alternative to classical/techno.

Checkout Ricky Ryan for some quality underground progressive electronic music at ~116bpm: https://soundcloud.com/rickyryan

The mixes are about 1hr in length and his set programming is top-notch. He releases a mix about once a month.

His 'Mixtapes' playlist is a bit more clubby, and 'Textures' a bit more relaxing.

Bio from page:

  Sometimes we come across DJs combining talent with a livewire personality, and Ricky Ryan is among these.

  His sound is distinguished by a broad variety of musical styles, from beautiful warm House, and deep Techno, to driving dance floor anthems, always guiding the listener through a spiritual soundscape by his silky smooth mixing and impeccable programming.

  Ricky toured worldwide, including gigs at the Winter Music Conference in Miami, The BPM Festival in Mexico, ADE in Amsterdam, Creamfields in his hometown Buenos Aires, and an honourable residency at the spectacular Warung Beach Club in Brazil.

  His success is exemplified by featuring on John Digweed's Transitions show, and on Proton Radio, setting a record of simultaneous listeners, with rave reviews from Sander Kleinenberg, Danny Howells, and Desyn Masiello for DJ MAG.

  Ricky Ryan is just as well respected for his remixes and productions while establishing both fine labels, Sick Watona and Avangardia, supported by Sasha, Hernan Cattaneo, Guy J, and many more.

  He, who also is your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of the LORD, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

What about something like this (in JS)?

  // Option 1
  const Pizzas = {
    Hawaiian: {
        type: 'hawaiian',
        crust: 'thin',
        sauce: 'tomato',
        cheese: 'regular',
        toppings: ['ham', 'pineapple'],
    },
    Pepperoni: {
        type: 'pepperoni',
        crust: 'thin',
        sauce: 'tomato',
        cheese: 'regular',
        toppings: ['pepperoni'],
    },
  };

  // Option 2
  // Pizzas could be returned from an API, so that the pizza 
  types are configurable outside of the code
  const response = [
    {
        type: 'hawaiian',
        crust: 'thin',
        sauce: 'tomato',
        cheese: 'regular',
        toppings: ['ham', 'pineapple'],
    },
    {
        type: 'pepperoni',
        crust: 'thin',
        sauce: 'tomato',
        cheese: 'regular',
        toppings: ['pepperoni'],
    },
  ];

  const makePizza = (pizza) => requests.post(PIZZA_URL, pizza);

  // Then, for Option 1
  makePizza(Pizzas.Hawaiian);
  makePizza(Pizzas.Pepperoni);

  // Or, for Option 2 (e.g. user selected via a menu)
  makePizza(selectedPizza);

I'm interested to know more about what you mean in this context by "define the payload schema for the API yourself". Can you provide an example?

I downloaded it and tried it. It seems great so far.

One thing that I am curious of, is using this in conjunction with a separate VPN with 'Always-on-VPN', as it seems it is not compatible (asks me to disable 'Always-on-VPN').

Pr0ject217··on Ask HN: What game do you wish existed?
A modern remake of the original Phantasy Star Online (Dreamcast).

Keep: - Dark atmosphere - Offline or online - Solo or party-based - Classes, skills/weapons based on classes - Rare/unique loot - Mags - Sound/Music design - Multiple areas - Progressive difficulty / replayability

Remake: - Combat - to modernize the combat, it could resemble something like Dark Souls.
