It's done! 🎉 Winamp2-js (https://t.co/BtfXzKsJYH) finally supports all three windows!

To celebrate, here's a list of some of the cool things it can do: (thread)

Load any classic Winamp skin just by dragging it onto the main window. (Shoutout to @stuk for JSZip which lets us decompress .wsz files in the browser. https://t.co/k9gKnA6G1B)

Drag local audio files into the playlist to queue them up.

Visualize your music with the bar or line visualizer.

Adjust the fully functional EQ to pump up the bass.
(Shoutout to @epistemex for cardinal-spline-js https://t.co/NIXjit7zY4)

Import/export Winamp's own binary EQ settings files.

Export your playlist as an .html file.

Save screen real estate with each window's "shade" mode.

See each file's title/artist as specified in its ID3 tags.
(Shoutout to @aadsm for jsmediatags https://t.co/HVPFMScACF)

If a skin specifies some transparent regions in its region.txt, they are respected. (Shoutout to @SaraSoueidan for https://t.co/8VRPVbtwE6)

Drag windows around, and easily align them with window snapping.

Use hotkeys to control all major functions.

Select/drag tracks to reorder them.

"Double" mode (ctrl+d) makes the main and EQ windows twice as big.

Getting all of this to work entirely in the browser has been a great challenge, and I've learned a lot.

Thanks to @The_DoctorO for being an invaluable source of insider information.

Thanks to @LuigiHann for catching many small places where I hand't perfectly recreated Winamp's handling of skins.

Thanks to @ja2ke for the original retweet which I believe kicked this whole thing off more than three years ago.

And of course, thanks to @JustinFrankel. 🙇‍♂️

“We don’t negotiate salaries” is a negotiation tactic.

Always. No, your company is not an exception.

A tactic I don’t appreciate at all because of how unfairly it penalizes low-leverage, junior employees, and those loyal enough not to question it, but that’s negotiation for you after all. Weaponized information asymmetry.

Listen to Aditya

"we don't negotiate salaries" really means "we'd prefer to negotiate massive signing bonuses and equity grants, but we'll negotiate salary if you REALLY insist" https://t.co/80k7nWAMoK

And by the way, you should never be worried that an offer would be withdrawn if you politely negotiate.

I have seen this happen *extremely* rarely, mostly to women, and anyway is a giant red flag. It suggests you probably didn’t want to work there.

You wish there was no negotiating so it would all be more fair? I feel you, but it’s not happening.

Instead, negotiate hard, use your privilege, and then go and share numbers with your underrepresented and underpaid colleagues. […]

1/ Thread: "A Silicon Valley Ponzi Scheme"

Thanks to @chamath for laying this out in Social Capital's 2018 annual letter.

I've always appreciated his outspokenness.

2/ The hardest thing for most startups today is the path to market: first finding product-market fit & a way to reach customers, then building a ruthless machine to acquire, monetize & retain them.

3/ Because of this, when the VC industry invests capital into fast growing startups today, the plurality (if not majority) of invested capital will go into user acquisition and ad spending, for better or worse— usually worse.

4/ Todays massive venture-backed advertising, sales, and user acquisition playbook has morphed into one that champions growth at any cost.

This is creating a big bill that will soon come due...

5/ Ad impressions and click-throughs are bid up to outrageous prices by startups flush with venture money, and prospective users demand more and more subsidized products to gain their initial attention.

If u are looking to enter a scrip just before the breakout
what would u look for?
How would u identify scrips just before breakout?

Here are a few pointers
Carefully understand the them and use at ur own discretion
(All comments r compiled from a question i posed)

1/23

Price is testing the same resistance repeatedly since long.
But now in recent times it's forming multiple candles near the same resistance with low volume.
Observe it and see for opposite move.
As soon as u get a positive candle, get in to it.

2/23

1. Volume buildup (vol > when resistance point created) along with, increase in OI, increase in delivery % on HTF
2. On LTF, price stalling around breakout area for at least 1-2hr.
3. No major events.

3/23

Stock reaching breakout LVL with HL-HH
Contraction of price and volume near it especially near 20 days ma.
If there is any breach of the latest HL it should be followed by a bullish candle with good volume.
Left side of the chart has a rally with a very steep slope of ma.

4/23

Number of wide range green bars with high volumes.
If stock is at its ATH then it adds more conviction bcz there wont b supply after that point

Consolidation below the resistance, volume of the candles & strong bullish candle closing at near highs just below the resistance

5/23

He died two days later, on 15 October, after allegedly being in a coma for more than a day. His funeral was a spectacle, held on Nyanga Sports fields on 24 October and attended by hundreds of people. Sources say it was made possible by Paarl businessman Lukhanyo "Spur" Mangena.
