I wrote a bad Python script that I use to encode WAV files, upload to B2, and generate an RSS feed. I host my MP3 files on Backblaze B2 and the RSS feed on GitHub pages. With my usage, I stay in B2's free tier.

While I agree that most technologies can be used in both ways that are good and those that are evil, some technologies "appear to require, or to be strongly compatible with, particular kinds of political relationships" [0]. I find it reasonable to say that a technology may be more or less moral/ethical depending on what it encourages.

Poetry is great! To me, it seems like there should be more software folks interested in it. I definitely see a few parallels.

My ML professor used this book, and I loved it. Some presentations of ML make it seem like a bag of tricks; this feels like the opposite of that.

Yes! I recently adapted a project of mine to be available as an Alexa skill, and it only took ~40 lines to get it working [0].

Not exactly what you're talking about, but the most important tool I use for ingesting/remembering things is Anki: https://apps.ankiweb.net/

This is interesting! It sounds like this v1 gets your local environment up and running in a Docker container. I maintain something similar for analysts on my team, and we've seen success in terms of decreasing time spent on environment setup.

As another interesting use of Docker in the data space, I'm excited about Pachyderm [0] (though I haven't had the chance to use it in production). In particular, the data provenance story seems compelling.

Thank you for this! I used it to make a little script to download audio from each lecture:

  youtube-dl --get-id https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyGKBDfnk-iAQx4Kw9JeVqspbg77sfAK0 -i > ids.txt
  while read id; do
      youtube-dl -f bestaudio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=$id
  done < ids.txt
