It took a really long time for us to realize that. Doctors used to push cigs.

Careful with fashion. Fashion trends are manipulated to keep the dopamine flowing if and only if you update your wardrobe every season. All the magazines, shows, etc... it's not entirely innocent of the problems we're discussing.

Moving to the country comes with quite a few surprises. Houseops, goatops, landops, townops, snowops, etc... there's always lots of ops.

This helps answer the question I just asked under another comment. Thank you!

Just to make sure I've got it: harmonics will always sound like (be?) octaves relative to the fundamental. But all the less-dominant frequencies are overtones, even if I somehow get a tritone or something gross sounding. Now what happ

The fundamental being in or out of the set is less interesting to me than the (useful, to me in my day to day) distinction between overtones and harmonics. Technical misunderstandings really mess up rehearsals so I try to be as accurate as

So all overtones are harmonics. All harmonics except the fundamental are overtones? Edit: I never realized the fundamental was a harmonic. I thought all harmonics had to be above the fundamental. I thought the overtones were the multiples (

Can you clarify harmonic vs overtone?

Well, nobody cares enough. And that's probably why they find Electron attractive. No need to care, no expectations that you'll ship something good. Hey, look at Slack!

Off topic: I came back to Python after a few years and WOW the LSP is fast and helpful. Maybe that's always been the case but after Typescript forced me to turn my vim into an IDE, Python really outshines it on the tooling. Edit: the p

The "standard electron horror" is why I can't really commit to signal. None of the Good Guys have a good desktop messenger yet.

Don't you need the armies to protect the infrastructure that powers bitcoin? And if you get to the point where you don't need armies, do you need a massive global network to verify you can trust the people you're doing busine

Sad. I still wear the t shirt sometimes. People think my name is Flynn.

Chiclet keyboards hurt my fingers. Maybe I type too hard; but rather than correct that habit I bought a WASD with some nice cushion. Much more comfortable, and less pain.

You can teach someone to paint or take photos, with text. You can't teach someone to write with paintings, or with text-less video.

I recently moved. My last neighborhood had aggressive moderation; by the time you clicked a notification for a political thread it'd be gone. In my new neighborhood we're still arguing about Trump yard signs.

Yeah... we're all too lazy to relay our data through our own backends. I recommend this to clients but there's always some killer analytics feature that requires the JS integration.

The "open web" only barely ever existed; MSIE killed it and Chrome is just a better weapon in the hands of a next generation monopoly.

There are facts. Like: "My laptop will not run indefinitely without power". Right?

You're attacking a straw man. My point is that there's a method by which we start from observations and, through a process that (critically) involves other people, we reach an objective understanding of a subject. The observation

If you can't put your finger on why you wanted the diamond, it seems pretty clear you are victims of De Beers. If I say I don't want a Coke because it's bad for me, but then I drink it, it's because I want it. And you sh

Eyewitness testimony is a personal experience that's been well proven to be poorly correlated with others' personal experience of the same event. You may be redefining "fact".

Aligning the incentives is the solution. There's no downside to bullshitting because our institutions are built on it.

I'm sorry; I should have said "taking a cut" - it's not about how much; the point is I'm not in favor of that method of capturing value. GitHub earns its cut with massive network effect, which it built for years, fu

I should be just as respected for having a 6 pack as for drinking one every night. I think Terry might agree.
