There's actually a little wheel at the back of the volume thingie where you can "scroll" to the next and previous track, etc.
Isn't this exactly what every dating site out there promises to do?

Sadly, I just copy them around using my local NAS.
First: I love the idea behind IPFS and decentralized storage and I'm sure there will be some valid use cases.

But: There's already tech available enabling these very use cases (see https://webtorrent.io/) and the adoption is pretty low. Plus IPFS doesn't solve the problem of disappearing peers at all. If no one's willing to mirror your awesome IPFS page, it will be gone the same way as with centralized hosting.

Fun Fact: IPFS is not BlockChain tech.

That's pretty amazing, nice work!

The company I work for has a similar tool (no fancy API yet, though) which shows the latency from some AWS regions to "the world" via different transit providers.

You can check it out at https://latency-test.datapath.io/.

The reason we only have three AWS regions at the moment is that we're using real hardware to do the measurement on network level.

Well, first of all, talk to the team. To every single person involved. Be it the CTO or the intern. Have someone who has been on the team for some time onboard you and find out what the current obstacles are. Then just grab one task and start working. You'll find the place you're needed most automatically.

Re:Getting your site indexed faster by Google on Monday July 04, 2016 @03:43PM (#12032595)
Honestly, the bottom line of that article is: Have content and social media.

If you're really trying to get some organic traffic, you'll definitely want to look into

Google Search Console: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/

and Google Analytics: https://www.google.com/analytics/

Get a free account on both, set up YOAST (https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/) on your WordPress* and see if the generated sitemap.xml (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sitemaps) is working and contains all of your pages. Then submit it via Google Search Console and wait patiently. The Search Console will then spam you (ehem, send useful information) with all sorts of things to make your site better.

As we all know, Google loves structured data, so adding some markup from http://schema.org/ won't hurt either. Again, the Search Console will give you hints on how to do that.

Finally, you can always get a Google Business Profile at https://www.google.com/business/

All that will help you rank better (not really faster) on Google, but in the end, the answer really is: Have Content, Content, Content ... and Social Media ;-)

* If you're not using WordPress, there are other ways to generate a sitemap.xml for your site. If you're brave, you can even write it by hand.

I just recently looked at the Web Audio API and the Google Moog Doodle (http://www.google.com/doodles/robert-moogs-78th-birthday) and I'm seriously impressed by what you did there. Congrats, Sir, keep up the good work!
