• When do we stop finding new music?

  I've been using http://somafm.com and it's really the only thing that got me back into listening to music. ( https://radio.garden is also interesting ). - Source: Hacker News / 30 days ago

• How the greatest MP3 player undid itself (2017)

  I just had a flashback to using Winamp with multiple .m3u/.pls playlists for local and streaming content I had collected and curated. I always liked Bagel Radio and probably first heard about it from the old Penny Arcade forums or on one of the offshoots of their forums whose name I now forget. I also quite liked nearly all of Soma FM's stations, especially the Indie Pop Rocks station, but I feel that Bagel Radio... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Demoscene and Video Game Music Streaming Radio Links

  Not a Demoscene radio per se, but SomaFM is also a donation-funded internet radio that's well aligned with demoscene listeners like me: electronic, chill, downtempo music which goes well with coding sessions. I've been listening to them for decades now. https://somafm.com. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• I lost Whamageddon while I was taking these photos of Leany McLeanyTree last night. Seriously, Last Christmas started playing right as I walked up to it.

  I almost never hear that dreck, thankfully, but lost the LDB Game really early on. (TBH, I no longer try to win—I actually like listening to Department Store Christmas on somafm.com.). Source: 6 months ago

• How to Discover New Music

  I'll second that! WFMU is the best! Broadcasting since forever across the river from Manhattan. Yoko Ono and Matt Groening are known listeners. "Bad Animals" is my favorite. For funk and hiphop, look at https://www.wefunkradio.com/ for the guest DJ every Friday night. And Soma FM has lots of amazing curated streams. Hands-down, THE best holiday mixes, with several hours of all the versions of aulde lange syne on... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Bought my first laptop for my education after years of being homeless, hope I invested my money right.

  CS is computer science. Also check out edx.com It is hosted by Harvard and if you pay for the course which is very little you get a certificate from them. There is also groupings of courses were you can get a business certificate. Also check out udemy.com. Wait for the specials for $10-15. I have heard that google has certificates that are free but that businesses except. Just try stuff and even look at skills... Source: 11 months ago

• Rant - Anyone else having trouble finding a job?

  Core coding and IT skills are a must though. Pick a language you followed and liked at Uni, check there is decent job demand for it, and do a udemy.com course on it (great value, great content, very cheap). Pair this with a major cloud (Azure or AWS) qualification which is pretty much a must these days, and you're much more attractive as an applicant. Source: 11 months ago

• Tech careers that won’t be taken over by AI?

  Prompting is so new I don't think a degree is offered yet, but Microsoft has some accredited classes (FREE) - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/ and you can get a certificate on AI and chatGPT from https://udemy.com , I got a few from them :). Source: 11 months ago

• Failed my Salesforce Admin today

  I am studying Salesforce administrator fundamentals at udemy.com. I am taking this course where the instructor provides a checklist of all the topics/subjects you will see in the test. For example, according to the instructor, who passed his administrator certification on his first try, teach the specific concepts you will see in the test. I think that there are 133 features/concepts. So, the first video is about... Source: 11 months ago

• Cheap/free language lessons

  If you're prepared to do self-study, take a look at the udemy.com learning site. I paid somewhere in the region of £15 (they retail for around £60-70 in general but always come on sale at some point) for a number of courses (incl. languages). The courses are rated by students and I haven't yet been let down. Source: 11 months ago
