If you actually know some of the languages and you realize they are just singing jibberish (much worse than actual real songs), it's impossible to listen to. The instrumental ones can be great.
The French ones I listened to where legit

This is the concept behind the computers in The Diamond Age right ? Or am I mistaken ?
It was like 80 when I typed "wrong" (mainly with 6-7 fingers), I learned to touch type like 4 years ago and switched to a 40% keyboard, now I'm typing at 60-65wpm max I guess, but it does feel better.

Ah! I spent an hour today trying to recreate the golf course from gladdendesign too (I ordered one of each of their games when I saw it on youtube)! But I got sidetracked trying to fit perlin noise into the solution, still not sure what algorithm to use to generate similar terrains. Also I kind of assumed copying the game exactly wouldn't be super fair or even legal so I planned on keeping it private.
coumbaya commented on No GPS required: our app can now locate underground trains blog.transitapp.com/go-un... · Posted by u/dotcoma
Maybe ten years ago, I read a blog post by, I think, a French company called snips, that explained how their app used the pressure sensor to detect when the train entered or leaved a station. It turned out there was a very clear signal due to the sudden pressure increase or decrease when the train entered or left the tunnel between the stations.
Edit: found it. https://medium.com/snips-ai/underground-location-tracking-3e...
Another tidbit: on high speed trains (maybe on regular trains too idk) the 'door flange' which is actually a hollow pneumatic tube (it can detect spike in pressure that's how the train know it's trying to close the door on somebody's hand) get's pressurized higher before entering the tunnel, to mitigate the "slam" effect due to the difference in pressure.

What are their reasons for not allowing it?
Sounds stupid on many levels to forbid it.
Basically it's zoning laws, to not add permanent structures onto agricultural lands, but yeah it's stupid because this is for solar panels without foundations so I don't see the harm. I need to get an appointment with them, see if I can change their minds.

I wish regulations where more lax in France. It was a battle with the town council to install 3.2kw of solar panels on the ground, I want to install 10 more but it looks like the ground option which is cheap will not be approved, I would have to out them on my roof which is costly and is not true south (and arguably, more visible).
I like that they're trying different approaches from spacex, them and stoke space which have a crazy concept. I hope both of them suceed.

If you don't mind a few small advices:
don't use global variables that you mutate, prefer structs with methods.
Add a main context with signal.NotifyContext to globally handle sigkill/sigterm and have a gracefull shutdown. Also use DialContext when available instead of Dial.
You could use errGroup to handle multiple goroutines that return errors (rather than iterating on a channel).
Otherwise it looks good, great job !
>> Yup, switched from embedded (on high-speed trains), to modern backend, x4 my salary.
These comments leave me confused. My Michigan based understanding would have you both poorly paid for embedded work and obscenely paid for backend work. I know some folks in CA make 200K and up, I'm just not sure how common that is. And anyone doing embedded should be at least 100K, so I don't see an easy x4.
Ah, the explanation is quite simple and I should've included it, sorry. I'm working in France, so I was at more or less 25k in embedded (not poor by french standard for my age, and had a lot of extra perks (like free train) compared to other companies, but not great either. I doubled when I started working for a french startup, and doubled again when I started working for an US-based startup.
