I mostly consume guitar technique & music theory videos, yet I still see ads suggesting I might want to buy & bury a plastic tote full of MREs out in the wilderness just in case. Maybe it's because I live in Nebraska? ¯\_(ツ)_&

Joe is "regular people"? He's a sitcom actor. He makes a couple hundred million a year on podcast ad revenue alone. He only presents himself as a "regular" person because that's the demographic he's targ

Even less popular opinion: fear is irrelevant. What we actually have is a cultural gap in how risk is assessed. Some only consider individual risk of death. Others also consider risk to beyond death, and beyond themselves. Casting the latte

What country are you in (who is "the government" you're saying is mandating HPV vaccination?). In the U.S., the only mandates are at the state level, and only in Rhode Island, Virginia, and DC, aren't they? Even if manda

This is fantastic! Most of the videos, unfortunately, are of pieces that avoid the lowest register of the piano. The video of the Liszt Funerailles performance towards the bottom was the only one I found that demonstrates what makes this i

In a way, #2 answers #1. Even if the only benefit of oxidizing subsystems in Firefox was to lower the barrier to entry for contributors, it would still be worth it. To answer #2, though, a good way is to search through the issues by the Git

What makes them similar is that the two machines need to be able to communicate with each other. The difference is that one turns the iPad into a display for the computer, while the other turns the computer into a keyboard & mouse for

For comparison, Sidecar didn’t work for me until late in the beta cycle. I think it was the last public beta where I finally got it to work. Ultimately I could never get in the habit of using Sidecar because it turns out I have to VPN into

So you agree: there was a coup attempt. My bad.

A fun idea for a function to implement: the negative harmony mapping, which is a note-by-note transformation that preserves some character of the note: R ⟷ 5 (stable) 2 ⟷ 4 (unstable) 3 ⟷ ♭3 (modal) 7 ⟷ ♭6 (leading) 6 ⟷♭7 (hollo

Our present situation is also pretty nonsensical, though. (There’s no wealth on an uninhabitable planet.) Yet, here we are, stampeding towards the crisis. So, if you squint, Silent Running predicted that, too.
