Thanks for the link! Still-- there's no indication that anything in that image is 280 feet long! Maybe the container in the foreground is, but the part that's shown can't be more than 75 ft. It's like reading a story abo

That's great, but it's really just desiderata about you and your personal situation. E.g., if a HN'er takes this as advice they're just as likely to be gated by some other interviewer who interprets hedging as a smell. I

You have two important metric groups in nearly every piece ever written in 6/8: 1. The full measure divided into 6 eighth-notes, as you point out 2. Those six eighth-notes divided into two groups, each containing three eighth-notes M

Those aren't equivalent, though. In 3/4 it's a given that the quarter note is the part that gets represented by the word "beat." That's 160bpm, so an eighth-note would be 320bpm. In 6/8, the dotted quart

How are the interstitial ads handled in an OS such as this? Is the ad running time factored into the control system on the kernel level? Do the operators have a realtime safe button press to "skip ad" in high traffic situations?

I'm curious how you handle the things that are between SVG specs 1.1 and 2. Because AFAICT both Chrome and Firefox decided not to implement SVG 2. Yet both have grabbed a common selection of changes from SVG 2 and implemented them. E.g
