Don't remember _why doing any Rails development -- he was really key in Ruby land, but did his own (super-minimal) web thing called Camping. Anything I'm forgetting that he did with/for Rails?

Curious how this compares with Automerge/Automerge-repo [0]. Looks like Automerge is at 2.0. 0: https://automerge.org/blog/2023/11/06/automerge-repo/

Technology is defined as that thing which almost works correctly. Sorry to hear you had that experience! I've lived places where the "sink into the snow" was the right thing, but where I live now, there's very likely i

Two experiences of mine: Braking on snowy/icy streets. First, in a car without ABS, I put on the brakes (I was probably going a little too fast) to avoid hitting the car stopped ahead of me. I started to slow down, but also to slip to

Okay, possibly unrelated, but a good question, yes? I find any time someone says, "Yes, that's what the Bible says, but no, that's not what the Bible means!" you're on very thin ice, regardless if it's said

You can also look at Romans 1:26-27 (see a modern translation, as we've discussed in parallel comments).

Two things: some folks just say, "the Bible was rewritten!!!!!!" with no evidence, just that it's an old text. Biblical textual criticism is a lot more complex than that, of course, and we do have pre-BC texts of Leviticus to

> The usually cited “most glaring” passages in Leviticus (Lev 18:22, Lev 20:13), read strictly literally, don’t condemn homosexuality per se, but both partners in a male homosexual act where one of them also engages heterosexual sex. C

Really wish they'd photographed people next to these... I can't guess how large they are.

Wow, and I thought C++ was complicated! Seriously, interesting discussion. I think I'll stick with physical instruments!

Just another boring "thanks for your fantastic blog posts!" post. Love the personalities in them too :-)

Even if you never get around to using the photos, I think it would be a wonderful service to take the photos and put them up somewhere for non-Vienna residents to enjoy.

I'm voting pretty useless -- I've dorked around with Llama and CodeLlama a bit, and wow , the differences between runs are pretty substantial.

Really recommend 12tone's music analysis (building the break up from the individual drum grooves) [0]. Their videos are always fantastic; it's an amazing level of musical analysis. That said, not everyone likes their style of pres

I love my multi-scale bass (the poetically named Ibanez EHB1265MS :-). Possibly the weirdest thing about playing a multi scale instrument is that my eyes just... adjust the frets to look like they're normal, vertical frets when I&#x2

Thanks! Yes, I remember reading older novels (Austen, maybe?) where the "disgrace through exposure" sense was used... it was obvious what was meant, but surprising.

Just like in English: "Show up" is, ostensibly, two words, but it's a phrase with a different meaning that either "show" or "up". So yes, pretty much. But "Blue Sky" is two words indicating a sin

Something that would be cool would to do Traditional IRA to Roth conversion planning; a friend has put together software to estimate that, and due to taxes, found that he could save significant amounts of money by converting earlier than

I largely agree with you (and saw this a lot during my working years), but sometimes it's the only way new knowledge (of new frameworks, languages, ways of working, etc.) come into a company/project.

Midinous is a non-linear MIDI sequencer allowing users to create expansive looping complex sequences which don’t subscribe to a definite timeline. Meter is determined only by a user’s imagination. Midinous can, however, still send MIDI cloc

This is a pretty good introduction to Midinous -- which is a grid-based non-linear MIDI sequencer usable with any Digital Audio Workstation or hardware that accepts MIDI messages. Interestingly, it was written by someone as (evidently!) the

Levi Clay has done a bunch of ear training content which is fantastic , but it's only available via his Patreon page. Notably, he's going for hearing intervals first (that is, hearing it internally before playing the interval),

Learning bass guitar over the past two years I've seen this. There are definitely GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) people who just buy more guitars and love to show them off and talk about gear in general. I like how this points out t
