So that's bandcamp->musicbrainz, and then picard can get it from musicbrainz as usual? I assume you need an account. That sounds great though, I guess the point is to have someone in the loop to sanity check things?

I just went through an exercise fixing up tags on my music collection and it surprised me how bad the landscape is (and still better than book tagging, video tagging, etc). MusicBrainz has an amazing database, but a huge amount of stuff fro

I'm not necessarily a fan of Apple's design, but I want to add that when you have floating header bars it cuts down screen real estate and makes the UI feel more claustrophobic. Making it semi-transparent helps that significantly.

Communication skills are often missing in engineering too, but I think I'd argue they should be required - all work is fundamentally collaborative. Being able to effectively communicate to different people on your team, outside your te

If the medicine instructions didn't state that they should be taken in the morning it might be reasonable, but presumably the producer had some reason for including that instruction. Furthermore, the linked study implies that this effe

I'm doing CedarCure. You're required to not exercise or bath/shower for 2h after taking, which is fairly difficult in the morning, so I asked the doc if I could do it in the evening instead (despite explicit instructions to

We've hit into this a lot lately too, even on AWS. "Elastic" compute, but all the elasticity's gone. It's especially bitter since splitting the costs for spare capacity is the major benefit of scale here...

I don't agree. Plenty of people write HTML by hand, no WYSIWYG, often with no more than a live preview pane like Typst's. Why isn't it easy to place something relative to the edges of a page via text? In HTML I do `padding: 2

I believe you can do those sorts of layouts in Typst (and Latex, and Sile!), but it's about how far out of the way you have to go and how much you fight the system in the process. I don't see any examples of Typst doing anythin

Oh, I didn't realize that! I can't shake the feeling that the open source community engagement might cater to paying customers, but I'll need to take a closer look!

That looks interesting, and to be fair right now I'm doing something similar... but doing headless rendering with that sort of stuff is very hard, AFAIK the standard tool for that has been abandoned now for a couple years. Also there

This, Typst, etc etc are primarily typesetting systems for papers . I would love alternatives to HTML or whatever, but I tried Typst too and it's very clear that the authors only really care about typesetting for papers and other long

I think the second chance pool is great but why rewrite the metadata with false info? It just confuses everyone. This isn't the first, and it won't be the last.

Ah okay, fair enough. But what sort of transcendental functions would you use for HFT? I guess I understood GGGGP's comment about using fixed point for interacting with currency to be about accounting. I'd expect floating point to

Not a book, but Cave Story is interesting because the first areas in the game are too large and shapeless, but later areas are very well defined. I feel like the author went through some sort of level design progression while making the ga

The structure is backwards for a colon. The colon precedes the explanation, but the explanation is first here. You'd need something like > I love semicolons: they bring the drama. This should be an em-dash or should be parenthesize

Gradual typing means that an implicit "any" (unknown type) anywhere in your code base is not an error or even a warning. Even in critical code you thought was fully typed. Where you mistakenly introduce a type bug and due to som

Canonical S-expressions don't have an object/mapping type, which means you can't have generic tooling unambiguously perform certain common operations like data merges.

What's the value of saying you were blocked but now you aren't? The other case is you're saying it's a reminder. But that should be obvious from any ticketing system - the issue for what you're working on should be

I don't think this applies here. That's "other people's privacy" not "your own privacy". Not that I think you're wrong, people put alexa in their houses, buy samsung smart tvs, etc.
