nicoster··on Mp3tag – Universal Tag Editor
I think this app really needs a backend so users can share/sync the tags (maybe based on the hash of a mp3 file)
nicoster··on Google Meet rolls out multi-device adaptive audio merging
What aspects of Zoom and Teams are frustrating for you?
nicoster··on --libcurl
this may not be as useful as it appears since different requests are for different different URLs, unless you redirect a request to libcurl.com
nicoster··on I spent a year designing a low profile, minimal mechanical keyboard
awesome! I like the arrow keys arrangement very much. but the F1~F12 is not required. for the rotary encoder, it reminds me of another keyboard recently appeared. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGShD9ZER1c but it's far more powerful.
nicoster··on Lua 5.4.0
<close> seems to be a nice feature. wish it could be ported to luajit.
nicoster··on C Compiler from Scratch
Is that an issue given the course is free?
nicoster··on Tesla Software Version 10.0
the big difference is that this 'Linux' is powered by gas.
nicoster··on Using a logbook to improve your programming
I have similar ideas. At the beginning (20 years ago) I use windows notepad.exe. It has a trick that if you put “.LOG” on the top of a txt file, every time you open it with notepad, it appends current date to it. Later on I switched to Evernote, then Apple Notes.app and settled. Recently I added a service with Automator to allow me insert current date to a note. Quite convenient.
nicoster··on Erlangers, Use Labels
for the list comprehension, why not

``` do_whatever(Keys, SomeParameter) -> [case external_lookup(Key) of {ok, V} -> do_side_effecty_thing(V, SomeParameter); {error, R} -> report_some_failure(R) end || Key <- Keys], ok. ```

or

``` [begin some_func(Key), other_func(Key) end || Key <- Keys]. ```

if only the value of other_func() needs to be in the result list.

nicoster··on AWS Lambda Is Not Ready for Prime Time
read the title, I thought performance might be one of them. fortunately it's not. I wrote a micro service and deployed to Lambda, it seems good. the documentation is poor, but anyway we figured it out. for error handling, we didn't put a lot of effort, if there's an error, the request simply fails. since it's not a core service, the behavior is okay. btw, we're using nodejs, the developing flow is okay - with the help of serverless
nicoster··on Gogs – Go Git Service
make ?w=1 a default behavior
