on: Show HN: I may have created a new type of puzzle
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.

on: Kubernetes is a red flag signalling premature optimisation
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.

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

on: Kubernetes is a red flag signalling premature optimisation
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.

on: No-op statements syntactically valid only since Python X.Y
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.

on: F# is the best coding language today
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.

Joseph, the latest champion is also incredible. He is capable of tracking opponent's screen and reacting to commentary while maintaining the game.
Also, hyper-tapping.
