Sweet! I built a little plug-and-play digital MIDI controller and published it with the Salamander Grand Piano samples, so I could use any smart phone to have MIDI playback. I had always planned on grabbing more samples but I did everything

Fun! And fast! I didn't realize it reset for every word, so I was worried I was done on 8 words, but by getting that one at the wire, I was able to limp to 17. At least for today's words, it was a reasonable difficulty ramp, and a

I'm with you. I get that this is akin to asking a human, because we're trying to reason, so we will bring along (assumedly) unavoidable deficiencies of human reasoning. But if I were to ask a human genius this question, ne would g

I certainly appreciate the effort as valiant, but the commenter responded to a generalized summary of the issue with anecdotal tunnel-vision about their pet issue, completely ignoring the context (an entire US law was passed - no small feat

Oh, awesome! Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, that makes sense. I hate Window's file explorer search, but I still end up using it if I'm just looking for a filename, so I definitely understand that as the de-facto standard on that p

From the article: it appears that Southwest has started allowing its prices to be listed on aggregators.

If I look up a price for Delta compared against a price for Southwest and the Delta price is cheaper, that is a "representation". If I go to Delta to buy the ticket, but cannot actually purchase the ticket for the price quoted (wh

Understood, but trusting Google to do something (in perpetuity) that it is not legally obligated to do is a hard sell to shareholders wondering why you would let your prices be misrepresented (in relation to other airline tickets) in that w

I don't know how you would have come to that conclusion, after reading the article? It says pretty plainly that the new government regulations, which force airlines to show all "additional" charges alongside the ticket price,

Very interested in this answer! I'd really like to see it on the website for any AI I'm considering. It's an entirely different proposition as to whether you're getting a utility or a service.

I'm building a note-taking app, so I hope you don't mind, but I was wondering if you might describe how you "search" your notes while using a device's file system search? For desktop, I might use a tool like grep to

You're very close to hitting the main point that people miss: Posting on the internet is a global audience and that means writing with a global audience in mind. It's a thousand times more taxing than a local audience because you

Don't know of anything like this, but this is a really good idea! It would be sweet to have a scene and renderer with well-known properties (which could be adjusted to account for style; realistic/toon/dynamic lighting/b

Oh, awesome! Thanks! Unfortunately, I'm not seeing much value-add over Clerk or Auth0. Looks like Stych is going to lock me in to a vendor just as much as the other two, so I'd have to compare them based on those merits alone. So

This looks great! I was just looking in to Clerk as a solution for user management, so this is definitely a timely product, for me. And it looks to be a very easy integration because I could start out with the hosted version and then move t

You sound like a very good businessman, and a reasonably astute interrogator of user feedback. I wish there were more businesses with people having those traits at the helm!

Depends on the reader view, especially for fonts (some people have a visual-related reason to enforce specific fonts).

FWIW, my assumption here is that people who publish like this page are expecting users to use a "reader view" and they're trying not to introduce any styles at all, so as not to conflict with the styles that the reader view w
