I think people get this slightly wrong - he was more regarded as a performer and improvisor, and the pieces published during his lifetime were mostly keyboard/organ pieces that were considered educational. He was a pretty obscure compo

The longer ago it was, the more the rules of an era of music get codified. You can run the four-part chorale rules like an algorithm. But it's not just that - prior to Beethoven, composers were seen as not having some internal genius,

This is how I understand it too - though "the rules of counterpoint" as they are taught today were really codified after Bach (who was already ~50 years out of date!). Typically (not always!) the "rules" of a style of m

Previous poster either got this subtly wrong, or phrased it badly, or belongs to a tradition that I'm not familiar with, but a good story on this is the parable of the poisoned arrow: Someone gets shot by an arrow and his friend tells

Yeah this - it just takes time, and some don't reach that point, but it's a natural progression after you get your first glimpse at how things are. I often forget how dark it can get when you first face that dread.

Serious question - how old are you? Anecdotally I’ve noticed smart people tend to have this attitude until their late 20s when it starts mellowing out. Now I’m a bit older I see my smarter friends happier than anyone and the less smart just

For me theory is most important as a debugging tool - I write without considering it and if something sounds “off” in a bad way theory will often help me pinpoint why. It’s also useful for analysis when I’m trying to capture a certain sound

I’ve had success with WET - write everything twice. If you copy paste something three times it’s a good candidate for abstraction. Ultimately these are just rules of thumb and none will fit all cases. I just found DRY to be too aggressive i

I was just joking but this interpretation is a great metaphor for our modern world. A meme (not the 4chan kind) going around lately is the history of the modern world is us as a society knowing less - as opposed to esotericism which is a be

Honestly this reinterpretation is not that far from themes that exist in LOTR, given that it was partly an allegory of the wars. It's just making Mordor not represent fascism. Reminds me of something I learned last week when I was thin

The article is fun, but I have my own theory - necessity is the mother of invention. In a magic world, where's the necessity?

We started using SVB when we expected to raise a sizable seed round which never happened. It's been over a year that we've been bootstrapping with them and we're quite happy with them. Support is great and I don't think

In my case, exercise seems to be the thing for getting over burnout and free time/vacations don't really help. Curious what helps for others

Keyword here is "think" - if you KNOW you are on the cusp of burnout we can assume you're self-reflective enough to notice it for what it is. Self-reflection is a skill that most early 20s people haven't fully developed

I don’t think the problem is discussing other kinds of slavery, because wage slavery is a thing that’s discussed, but there is a type of slavery that is very recent, still relevant because we’re still feeling the effects of it, and it does

"Good artists borrow, great artists steal" Creativity is a very vague word, I'm sure we can come up with definitions of it that let humans keep sole domain over it. But breakthroughs often come from combining domains and conc

In my 25 years working with c++ I’ve encountered just one compiler bug - msvc hard crash no error - found that reversing the order of two int declarations fixed it. Was quite a while ago. It’s insane how rare bugs are in these incredibly co

Yeah this is better actually, because "affecting" might be a positive thing :) But I like framing it this way because if you only think about compulsion you're going to waste a lot of time shutting down things that don't

Some of my favorite Christian works are all about doubt, but the conclusion tends to be faith is the only way. The Catholic priest in the movie may raise his hands during the thunderstorm and shout angrily at God to show himself, but what s
