Flipperwaldt: Nov 11, 2011; Won't somebody think of the starving hamsters in China?

Again forgive me, what part of that do I need to type in Terminal to extract the Artist/Title fields to plain text as shown?

Not anything, I'm not familiar with mac, so I'm sending you once again to some online tool that has a powerful search and replace functionality.

Under Text you paste the contents of the m3u file, replacing whatever is there.

Double check, I guess, that every other line in your text turns blue. If that isn't the case,the expression needs to be rewritten to include whatever gets excluded. I don't quite know what is possible in an m3u file, never mind what exceptions there can be in the tagging of your music.

Bottom field should show the results you can copy to wherever.

It's not a great solution unless you're familiar with regex really, just was curious to see if it could be done.

Instead the Winamp thing sounds more reliable. I also saw a playlist-2-text tool someone on reddit made for apparently similar purposes?

Yeah, I'm not familiar enough with any of this to do anything meaningful with that expression that would be any more expedient than just manually cutting out all the code.

That playlist tool from reddit is close! Unfortunately it thinks the Camelot notation is the Artist field so it just outputs "4A - Supreme." A little frustrating because it would be exactly what I'm looking for otherwise.

The below is completely untested but it should, theoretically, work.

code:

awk -F, '/#EXTINF/ { split($2,x,'-'); print x[1], "-", x[3]; }' whatever.m3u8

What it should be doing is treating every line as a csv (-F,) , looking for lines that contain #EXTINF, then taking advantage of the fact that your software appears to be generating #EXTINF:number,Artist - Mixthing - Track uniformly so that it can just take the second field (remember we are separating fields by commas), split the second field into an array by using "-" as separators, and the artist and track are then always the 1st and 3rd items in the array (awk arrays start from 1).

If it's not doing that, the alternative is to customize the playlist tool. It looks like it's hitting the filenames to get the info because your software isn't generating anything else but #EXTINF. If you download the zip and extract the files, open main.js with TextEdit, you'll see a section of code that looks like this at line 34 or so:

code:

        } else {
          // if no title
          warning.style.display = 'inline-block'
          var filename = song.file.split('.')
          filename.pop()
          filename = filename.toString().split('\\').pop().split('/').pop().replace('_', ' ')
          filename = filename.trim()
          result += filename
        }

replace the result += filename line above with this code:

code:

	var fa = filename.split('\-')
	var la = fa[0].split(' ')
	result += la[1].trim() + ' - ' + fa[2].trim()

so that that bit looks like:

code:

        } else {
          // if no title
          warning.style.display = 'inline-block'
          var filename = song.file.split('.')
          filename.pop()
          filename = filename.toString().split('\\').pop().split('/').pop().replace('_', ' ')
          filename = filename.trim()
		  var fa = filename.split('\-')
		  var la = fa[0].split(' ')
		  result += la[1].trim() + ' - ' + fa[2].trim()
        }

Save over the existing main.js and open index.html - if Safari doesn't do right you might have to use Chrome or similar.

You're now getting into the point where edge cases are going to give you grief without someone writing something reasonably robust. Stuff people have written for you will fail on things like a song / band with a comma or hyphen in their name. Is there a way you can recreate the m3u in what ever software you're making it without the notation? While it would be a duplicate list it would mean that the reddit tool is going to be perfect for you then you can just delete the dupe list and move on.

Gosh this is a stupid/small question but how do you find events on Facebook by date? I can see suggested events, and sort by "top," "local," "this week," "friends," and some other stuff but specifically I just want to find events within like a 50 mile radius on a specific date. I swear I used to do this all the time but I can't seem to locate it.

edit: for a laugh try looking up anything about Facebook on Google. Sure, thousands of people seem to have the same issue, but all these posts and helpful things are from two years ago, four years ago, nine years ago, ten months ago, and it seems like Facebook changes small things so loving frequently that none of the advice is helpful because inevitably two steps in an icon or name of something has been changed or moved

How much energy gets lost when converting to/from fat? That is, if you eat some food and then use its energy directly, you presumably get X% of that food's energy converted into useful work. If you turn it into fat first and then use it to perform work, you'll get Y%, where Y < X. But how much worse?

Obviously I don't expect a precise answer here, but I'm curious how much energy gets wasted due to converting it for storage.

It varies between person and diet and study, but it�s in the range of seventy‐five to ninety‐five percent.

A complicating factor is that humans are exotherms. We maintain our bodies at constant temperature, and to a large degree, energy lost in conversion just means a reduction in energy that would otherwise be burned specifically for heat.

Neat! I'm guessing you mean that 5-25% of the energy is lost, while the rest remains useful? I feel like if fat storage was only 25% efficient then there'd be a strong evolutionary drive to find more efficient chemical pathways.

This is a fair point though. "Lost" energy has to go somewhere...

You�re not crazy or misremembering. You used to be able to search Facebook events by date. They got rid of it and you simply can�t any more.

You can look at events happening today/tomorrow/this week/next week if you go to events on the mobile website. The only explanation I have for this is that Zuckerberg is a dumbass and doesn�t understand how humans look for events to go to.

Federal loans are fixed rate, and high inflation does make your debts worth less generally. It doesn't help the consumer much anymore since nobody's really getting pay increases to keep up with inflation.

I'm visiting the Philippines and there's this resort, Las Casas Filipinos de Acuzar, that is built using salvaged and restored pre-WW2 buildings and careful reconstructions of old iconic buildings that were lost to fires and bombings.

Anyway, the area is an incredibly beautiful recreation of a circa 1930 (rich) Filipino town. Is there anything similar in Europe, or anywhere for that matter? I'm guessing there are some carefully maintained Quaker / Pennsylvania Dutch type towns in the eastern US but I'm more interested in places outside North America.

Home connections tend to be much more reliable, faster, and far better ping. If you don't game and if the occasional drop out isn't a big deal (losing a VPN connection to work, streaming video buffering or dropping to low definition), and as long as your mobile carrier doesn't limit your tethering bandwidth, you should be good to go.

Check their bandwidth limits. Most only allow a certain amount of data before dropping your speeds dramatically.

It's not Europe, but Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia (the last capital of the colony) is a faithful reconstruction of the city circa the decade before the revolution, using a mix of buildings that had survived and buildings that were built according to historical records and archaeological research. Not far away is a reconstruction of the Jamestown settlement, though it's not on the actual site of the settlement.

So what everyone else said but also, being in The Big City means good infrastructure, but it also means that there's a lot more people using the cell network. When looking at internet speeds that Up To does a lot of heavy lifting. It could be fine at certain times during the day, but then a bunch of teens using the same cell tower all decide to watch videos at the same time on their phones and your 100Mbps is now 1Mbps.

I would sweep it once its dried, but if you have stubborn surfaces or weird areas, duct tape will pull it right off. You can also exploit the static in dryer sheets instead of using regular rags.

https://www.ballenberg.ch/en if you're into old farming houses and things like that (but closed till April for the winter).

But essentially many parts of Europe still display "old fassades" because they are still the original thing. Just search for "10 most beautiful places in *" (or picturesque, wonderful, etc).

i couldn't find a relevant thread in sh/sc so here goes.

how dangerous is a ups? you can find stories on the internet about them catching fire, but how common is that really? i've got a few here that i've yet to use but would gladly return them if the risk is real. and if the risk is real, is there a way to test if mine is likely to catch fire? and when a ups catches fire, what kind of fire are we talking about? some small thing that has little to no chance of spreading, or a real threat to the me and my building?

obviously they're sold to the public without requiring a license or anything like that, so i imagine the risk is small/nearly zero, but it's still a bit of a scary proposition? i don't know, these things/power sources/anything involving electricity weird me out.

I've literally never heard of UPSes being a fire risk before. From searching around, it looks like the main risk is clogged air vents from dust and debris. So keep your house reasonably clean, keep the UPS off the floor, and dust it once or twice a year and you should be fine.

I mean, you also want to replace the batteries when indicated in the manual (should be something like every 5-7 years), but I feel like that goes without saying.

Slightly more dangerous than a fan on account of the battery, but less dangerous than a space heater or a toaster. Not a risk worth worrying about.
