I made the exact same language comparison in another reply. Learning a foreign language after the age of 9 means you most certainly never will sound like a native speaker. I think perfect pitch is the same. But if you have something that is

If it quacks like a duck ... The same can be said for language: learning a language after the age of 10 (a number taken out of my behind just now) will make you never sound completely native. I have never met someone who did this that didn&

No. I think a lot of people would notice. Especially string players. A lot of orchestra musicians don't like listening to recordings that deviate too much from their preferred concert pitch. I don't like listening to British or Am

I have acquired "perfect pitch" for some notes. I have a problem with this. I know that an F is an F. An A an A. A C a C. I experience this effect a lot, despite "learning" these notes when I was 21.

Of course you can learn absolute pitch. I learned to hit C, F and A 100% of the time in just a couple of weeks without trying very hard at all. I just tried to hear one of them every time I walked past a piano before chilecking if I was rig

I think one problem that the people with extreme sensitivity have is that not only choruses but also orchestras drift in pitch. I work professionally, and some orchestras are extreme. My orchestra usually starts at a at 442 but end up at 44

Btrfs raid 1 works great. I have 3 10tb drives in a raid1c2 for a total of 15tb of space. Btrfs raid1 allows you to use any combination of drives and sizes. If I would have one 12tb drive instead of one 10tb I would have had 16tb of usable

I mean, the narrative pushed by right wing politicians is often more vibes based than the one by the left. Look right now: "the immigrants are ruining America/Europe" Vs "the ultra wealthy are hoarding capital which is r

I didn't think of it like that. Interesting thought.

When did the political system stop being about making life better for the average person? In Sweden we have gotten a paper from the tax office saying "we believe your taxes should be like this" and then you can change parts you di

I have three apps I bought a long time ago. A Swedish dictionary, a german-swedish dictionary and an english-swedish dictionary. They are still installable, but not available in the app store. The company (Norstedts) went over to a subscrip

Which distro uses systemd-networkd as standard? I am genuinely curious. I could see using it on a server, but not on anything desktopy.

> Guix solves the following problem: – I love scheme and want to minimize the number of hours I spend dealing with any other programming language. This is a pretty common feeling after writing a couple of nix packages.

That is obviously not what they meant since ocaml is not dynamically typed.

The lifetime risk of clinical depression is someething like 30% for men and 40% for women in the west. Recurrence is about 50% for people with one major depressive disorder occurence, and 80% for people with 2. That makes it more akin to so

I am one of those people who agree with you. On my main family computer we run Alma Linux with flatpaks for the main accounts. I use guix to get up to date tools for development stuff. (On my laptop I run aeon desktop and guix. I really do

Same Here. The web use is non-intrusive and works well on both desktop and mobile.

Israel has been hindering a democratic process in Palestine since forever. It was a borderline explicit policy to bolster hamas to split the Palestinian rule in two to be able to say "we have no negotiating partner". Netanyahu has

I am using it on my home server that serves my web page and also a lot of things for my home network. It runs some guix containers and some VMs. Nothing fancy. All declared in a couple of files.

I mean, modules are just regular guile modules. It feels somewhat clunky, but at the same time you can use guile's introspection to do fun stuff. I always found it more flexible, but on the other hand I never liked NixOS modules.

What are the odds that this was tested with actual users? I remember a time long ago, in a galaxy far far away where the user experience mattered more than whatever whims designers had. My old car, for example, had big buttons that were mea

I think that the deal for a pi zero is still pretty unbeatable. I run one as a backup DNS at home if my primary goes down. With a poe splitter and a sensor unit (co2) it draws about 1w. That means about $2 a year where I live. My second bes

I think just having a proper runtime for elisp would be great... I am a guile person, but even if the Emacs folks would only allow elisp on guile it would still be a win.

Yes. I am already running and Aeon desktop base system with gnu guix for the userland. It's great.
