Great choice of song! If you ever have access to a piano, I highly recommended trying to fumble your way through Beethoven's moonlight sonata, even if you don't know how to play piano. Not quite sure how to put it into words, but

I wonder, were the waypoint IDs randomly generated and too short to avoid collisions (no pun intended)? And why can't an invalid flight plan be rejected by the system? That seems like a fragile way for it to work..

There's a subtle distinction. "Like ... on crack/steroids" means a really good / fast version of something (I think steroids is probably the more common variation) e.g. "an e-bike is like a bicycle on crack&quo

Anyone know if these are on the Internet Archive? Would make it much easier to jump around and listen without having to download FLAC versions.

I just watched the intro to one of the episodes and the music definitely brought back some memories! I was left with the feeling that I'd heard the music before in a different context though. It then twigged that it was in another chil

All 10 on my flagged posts were accidents. Think this probably highlights a UX issue and the need for an "are you sure?" popup.

What are you using for the speech-to-text? One thing that I really liked about Whisper was that I could mix english and Spanish and it would just work.. like "what does "una palabra española" mean?" and it would just wor

But on the other hand, our knowledge and classification of the natural world is built on the shoulders of the "obsessive"s. Most areas of naturalism require digging deep and obsessing over minutiae to unearth new discoveries.

Really not sure what you're trying to say here. People use Bitcoin for anonymous transactions and jump through various hoops to try and achieve this goal (for example using tumbling services). It seems perfectly valid to say Monero is

I mean, I'm sure there's worse out there.. but the fact that I have to wait for my phone to connected via bluetooth before I can turn on my lights is such bad UX, often taking multiple attempts to connect to all the lights. Just l

I'd say pull that logic out of your components and put it in some central place like an XState machine exposed to your components through Context.

Sounds like the prop shouldn't be getting passed to the component then if the component isn't using it to render itself? Maybe it should be getting sent straight to your "store" perhaps? Let the components take care of t
