I wanted a way to quickly generate new Spotify playlists from my library based on some simple user inputs. There are probably a bunch of songs floating around in old playlists that you will never listen to again so the Spotify Playlist Recycling Plant is an attempt to resurrect these forgotten gems! At the heart of this tool is a simple custom algorithm that uses Spotify's 5000+ unique genres to find similar artists. It works well for my purposes but everybody uses Spotify differently so I'd love some feedback :) Built using React and the Spotify Web API.

Been lurking the GitHub issues, Twitter and blog but haven't really gained a full perspective. I'm in the market for a new laptop, currently using a Carbon X1 which I'm generally very happy with. I'm only interested in laptops that I'd run Linux on, but been trying some of the late Apple MacBooks and like the hardware, just the software seems to get in the way sometimes. So came across Asahi Linux project, which seems to be usable for daily work, minus some missing things. But does anyone use Asahi Linux daily here and can talk about their experience?

I think AWS and its signature system is making things more complicated than it should be, like this is a normal signing in process to API: 1. you request client credentials, which is normal. 2. construct request URL, normal. 3. add headers, eh, normal. 4. signature... fuck. First you need to convert the URL you have from step 2, mash it with headers from step 3, add header keys to signed headers, then sum256 hash the payload and hex encode it. Then you create a sign, add algorithm, request date time that is formatted with ISO8601 but all special characters stripped apart, add credential scopes, hash the canonical request you created at the first step. Then, you calculate this abomination: HMAC(HMAC(HMAC(HMAC("AWS4" + kSecret,"20150830"),"us-east-1"),"iam"),"aws4_request") after that you calculate this: signature = HexEncode(HMAC(derived signing key, string to sign)) after that you create an authorization header and add signature to it: Authorization: AWS4-HMAC-SHA256 Credential=AKIAIHV6HIXXXXXXX/20201022/us-east-1/execute-api/aws4_request, SignedHeaders=host;user-agent;x-amz-access-token;x-amz-date, Signature=5d672d79c15b13162d9279b0855cfba6789a8edb4c82c400e06b5924aEXAMPLE ...I mean what the fuck? I can understand why people choose Azure over AWS for the sake of freaking simplicity just by looking at this sign and request process. It feels overly-complicated. Does anyone feels the same while working with this abomination?

Tell HN: How to get your Twitter account fubar
5 by withinboredom | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Six months ago, I decided to rename my business and I got the twitter account. Then, finally this past week, everything was good to go, and I updated the photos for profile/icon. For this account's first follower, I decided to follow it from my personal account. That was a mistake, apparently. Within seconds, my account was locked and kicked out of Twitter ads (according to the emails I received). This makes no logical sense to me, but here we are. So, apparently, the way to screw up a twitter account is simple: follow a dormant account. FWIW, the dormant account was managed by my phone (logged into my personal and this account), but I did the following from my computer, which wasn't logged into both accounts (ever).
