the ergonomic advantage of left-to-right is that most players use right-handed guitars, so the guitar's cord comes out the right side of your body, and it's most ergonomic for it to be directed straight away from you to the right

I've never visited this blog before but I really enjoy the synthesis of programming skill (at least enough skill to render quick graphs and serve them via a web blog) and writing skill here. It kind of reminds me of the way xkcd likes

I have a personal convention for books like that - I don't have any Dilberts on the shelf but a lot of Neil Gaimans, plus an artsy TTRPG book ("Maze of the Blue Medusa") that's also made by someone who is now widely cons

I need to buckle down and watch a YouTube video on this that gives examples. It obviously comes up in computer engineering all the time, but it's something I've been able to skate by without fully understanding; from time to time
