This is not new type of puzzle, the most basic version of is defined like this:

The man needs to cross the river with a wolf, goat and a cabbage. Wolf would eat goat, goat would eat cabbage, boat has only room for two.

Every kid in Russia knows that puzzle, although your implementation is quite good.


This is cool, but how do you obtain music as files legally? The only platform that allows that is Bandcamp, but if artist is not presented here, torrents is your only option I can think of.


You can (almost) always buy CDs and rip them. I'd be mildly surprised if an artist was selling music without either a presence on Bandcamp or a store on their own website that you could download from.

I'm certain I've bought a handful of albums from Amazon and Google over the years that I've put onto various phones and MP3 players. Is that not possible anymore?


Amazon still let you download DRM free MP3s for any music you've bought (well, as a Prime customer I still can, maybe it's different for non-Prime).

I still buy CDs. That way the music is mine, and no-one can suddenly delete the CD from my bookshelf without my consent. I rip the CDs lossless, then de-jewel-case the CD and put the disc and inlay into an acid-neutral storage bag, and seal it. I can't do hi-bitrate music like this (unless I want to rip BluRay albums) but at my age, it's not like I still have a high-fidelity hearing ability anyway.


Amazon. I still buy mp3s off Amazon to play on Winamp.


Soulseek is still going.


Poweramp is what you're looking for. It is paid player, but it's worth every penny


I upvoted this but honestly feel like that isn't a strong enough recommendation for Poweramp. It blows every other player out of the water, there's no competition.

I also just checked their website and as of v3 it doesn't even require google services to buy, so even if you have a degoogled phone you can still use it.


I have read that this article isn't about k8s, but in my experience, companies that try to avoid k8s in favor of other specialized solutions are leaning more into premature optimisations. The company that used Nomad spent weeks in analisys of simple auth service, but every company that used k8s, went with whatever and moved on.


There are other options.

You can use elastic beanstalk, and RDS. You get scaling, reliability and backups. And it’s not complicated and you can set up easy CICD with just GitHub actions.

If you don’t need scaling, just use lightsail and litestream.

There are many many options to do things simply.


You just showcased my point! People would spend weeks in search for solutions that implement part of required functionality, instead of using whatever they're most familiar with and move on.


Not so known fact: Zen of Python refers to internal CPython design, and not to external application of the language itself. So, any new syntax is fine while one can wrap their head around implementation.


No, it was prompted by a post to comp.lang.python asking for guidance for new Python users. There's a link to that post in the PEP references (https://peps.python.org/pep-0020/)


Firefox guys just released a fix


This totally true. I am Python developer by day, I took OCaml course, and it has improved my way of thinking about problems. I do not write OCaml for money, but it feels in every line I write.


Are you the guy who tried to apply for a job for Unfortunate Spaceman?

Terrible emails at: https://twitter.com/geoffkeene/status/1337634779559129088


That was amazing. It left me wanting to read more emails from the Unfortunate Spaceman guy obliterating entitled assholes trying to beg.


Any info how it was freed? Article does not mention any solutions.


WSJ posted an article with some more detail.

TLDR; high tide and dredging

Looking forward for Crime and Punishment in Russian. Great idea through, app looks good and seem to work!
