   > Using 7 as reference is tradition, e.g. the pentatonic scale has 5. That's our point.

   He's right though, that's not what I was trying to write (not a 3:2 ratio).

   Huh, I copypasted that from wikipedia but botched the text when trying to highlight the part where sharps start and left it half-written. I'll just link the relevant wikipedia article: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x

   Although I agree with you... didn't Pythagoras derive the pythagorean tuning of diatonic doing the math with the 3:2 ratio? I know near zero music history, but I was under the impression that that's the evolution from diatonic sca

   I didn't really understand your explanation so I might be restating your ideas, but just in case: > And then - just to keep it confusing - we have to split both of those groups of five semitones, so... we arbitrarily split them as 2

   What the article means is: we dont have 12 notes (A B C D E F G H I J K L). Instead, for historical reasons (the choice of CMaj/Amin as a reference due to the notation evolution from heptatonic scales) we have A B C D E F G and we anno

   There are no dumb questions! In non-VM languages everything is compiled down to assembly (or, more accurately, machine code) since that's ultimately what your CPU executes. Anything else on top of it is just sugar! Raw machine code doe

    Here's an actual case. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramón_Sampedro > Ramón Sampedro Cameán (5 January 1943 – 12 January 1998) was a Spanish seaman and writer. Sampedro became a quadriplegic at the age of 25 (o

    I don't see what's political about that. It seems like a design decision you don't agree with (and neither do I at a first glance) but I fall to see any political intent.

    This was not my experience at all. Building in Fortnite is a race and the gameplay is too frenetic to "design" anything. It's just a matter of building higher, quicker (or farther if you're rushing). After a while you ju

    Isn't that just pagination with a different granularity? You'd still present the user with a set of results (a "page") and would let them seek forwards/backwards to the adjacent subsets of results. AFAICT cursors ca

    As a user I expect that to happen. Cursors on the other hand are awful for getting to arbitrary pages, they are mostly useful for "More" links as on HN or Reddit. It's a trade-off.

    Thanks for the write up effort. On the first approach, with "error prone" you mean the tag could be incorrect, right? (or even have an impossible variant with 0 or multiple variants set).

    This might be just a problem on English where hard is a homonym ("rigid" vs "effortful"). Notice their antonyms differ: "soft" vs "easy".

    This sounds exactly like what I settled on as React+Redux best practices. There's UI logic+data (that belongs in components) and business logic+data (that belongs in the Redux store) loosely coupled via actions and selectors.
