Solid, got it. Next time I talk to criddell's kids' university's dorm administrators, I'll try to set them straight. Hopefully they'll be able to zoom out a bit from whatever conversation-impairing details they&#x27

Yeeeaaah, I realize my point was easy to make a caricature of, but that's a pretty specious caricature. I'm talking about an effort to balance safety and freedom from a more collective and thoughtful perspective.

by gglitch 5y ago
Yes, exactly. We have conflicting values to balance. I hope most of us can do it most of the time from the goal, however quixotic, of doing the most good for the most people. I don't claim to know what that is, and I am not saying that

Yeah, sorry for not being more clear, but I wasn't talking about that person, or the piano, or about the odds of someone contracting COVID from surfaces. I was using the quote to illustrate what I see as a difficult pair of values to b

I didn't use it, but it looks to me like one of the main draws of foobar2000 was library/metadata management. I've only ever used directories in the filesystem as a "library," and have used many players over the yea

I'm not a statistician, but if we're trying to collapse to numbers, a couple that come to mind are deaths due to power outage and total dollar cost of outage.

I’m with you on the directory tree, but like the idea of files having both names and unique, autogenerated IDs. Edit: optionally having IDs.

Interesting that the author concludes his otherwise interesting observations by discussing the advanced processing power of the iPhone. I don’t dispute the numbers or the results, but when I want to do actual work, I choose my aged Linux la

Music-as-a-Service is fantastic as a convenience, and I too have discovered a lot of great music this way, but (a) I all the time want to listen to a record and find it missing from their catalogs; and (b) as with so much else on the we

I agree that there are all kinds of things that are under-documented in Emacs, but isn’t Artist Mode a top-level headline in the manual?

Find is fine. Grep is fine. I do wish they took arguments in the same order.

Don, I don't know anything about you that I haven't seen on Wikipedia, but you're evidently extraordinarily intelligent, erudite, and experienced, and bring a phenomenal amount of knowledge to conversation. I'm in genera

I did this in high school, which was, in terms of school work anyway, pre-computer, so everything was paper all the time. I was aware of people's binders and notebooks and so forth, but somehow ended up just accumulating looseleaf pape

I deeply love my local nonprofit/coop radio stations; the personalities, the history, and the diversity of the music they play all add up to a strong feeling of community. They do stream, but the streams are 128k. I concede the irony o

I can identify; but the farther I go in my career, the more I see socializing as part of the actual work--i.e., not peripheral or ancillary to it, but as an important part of the success of the company. My mentor says that what used to be c

Yep. I don't remember the post, but in a (relatively) recent thread on DAWs, some developer was talking about how surprised they'd been by the complexity latent (pun acknowledge but not intended) in management of the timing grid.

This is my experience as well. Prioritizing narrow contributions based on expertise over broad contributions based on a congenial and welcoming working environment is an expense that compounds over time.

There might be language games at work here. '4/4 only' could be totally reasonable for an MVP from the perspective of the software developers, but not minimally viable from the perspective of a musician. Edit: Sorry, meant th

Mark would you say more about use of KGs for organizing data sources, or give an example situation? Thanks in advance.

Naive question: what's the correct way of doing this when you need to cp your content to a dir like /var/www/html that your user doesn't own (when logging in as root is prohibited)? My "spooky" (and probab

To forestall premature optimization about notebooks or any form of linearity, I start with looseleaf paper.

I bought one and returned it. I made the mistake of adopting loose-leaf paper several months before buying it. I assumed it would be a minor cost in the writing/reading experience for a major benefit in not having folders all over the
