The problem is that these features need to be worked on, they require attention and the implementation sends a (strong) message.

It's not just the fact that it exists that leaves the bad taste, it's the fact the decision was made, what that implies about the mentality/goals of the people making such a decision and that it will from that point on hog resources. And those aspects won't go away by not using it.

summary: people suck

FWIW, I just donated $5 monthly to archive.org because of this....whoever did it, thank you!

Looks like most of Dragon Magazine is there as well, although I couldn't find any way to get a listing of them all other than via the individual magazines:

this is so cool; i see that there's a way to dl individual issues, but I was wondering if there was a way to bulk dl them? thanks in advance.

answering my question

this works:

wget https://archive.org/download/Dungeon_Magazine_006/Dungeon_Ma...

I just wrote a quick scrip to increment the issues

mobi = "wget https://archive.org/download/Dungeon_Magazine_{count}/Dungeo..." pdf = "wget https://archive.org/download/Dungeon_Magazine_{count}/Dungeo..."

with open("grab_dragon.sh", "w") as file1: for index in range(200):

        str_index = str(index)
        if len(str_index) != 3:
            str_index = str_index.zfill(3)
        pdf_format = pdf.format(count=str_index)
        mobi_format = mobi.format(count=str_index)

        file1.write(pdf_format + "\n")
        file1.write(mobi_format + "\n")

Or similarly: for i in `seq -w 001 221`; do wget https://archive.org/download/Dungeon_Magazine_$i/Dungeon_Mag... done; wget https://archive.org/download/Dungeon_Magazine_Annual_2010/Du...

Throw in two spaces before each code line and that will be formatted much better:

  with open("grab_dragon.sh", "w") as file1:
    for index in range(200):
      ...

The script's redering by HN is off. Maybe you should change the indentation somehow?

I posted an example using the Internet Archive's official Python library and command line program:

Having just bought a pair of DT 1770 pros, I will be really interested to see how these compare. Also, how they will interact with my DAC/HeadPhone amp.

bah

isn't everyone's kid a creative genius?

Yeah, I'm actually surprised that this is only just now happening. Guess I'd assumed he'd managed to bump it off on all Apple platforms before he died.

Because it was not about going after Adobe or Flash. It was about the performance of the iPhone. He detailed this in his public letter to Adobe after he gave them 2 years to get it working and they failed. The letter was public because Adobe was crying about being shutout and making shit up. The fact is that Adobe never got Flash "working right" even on the Android platform which they had full access to every part of the hardware. "Working Right" means not draining the battery after a 30 minute video.
