I'm not them, and don't find that scary at all (speech certainly affects my emotional state!) but I don't have any color preference, or feel like I have anywhere near the emotional reaction to art that other people do.

I dunno, I think soundtracks to movies are one of the only places where I ever get any sort of emotional response from music, and it's always because I associate some sequence of sounds in the piece with something that's happeni

Emotionally? Nothing really. It's just someone playing music, which doesn't really do anything for me. I appreciate that the person in the first video is doing some neat things with a guitar though. It looks & sounds neat.

Ditto on finding most music distracting! Also, I often sing nonsense songs when I'm doing stuff around the house.

Can you elaborate? Most of the date time libraries I've encountered support them, and it seems like knowing when something happened would be pretty important generally.

I played the viola and sang in chorus in middle school. I really enjoyed both--especially the viola--but I think my enjoyment was more of the mechanics of it rather than the actual music we were making. I also really enjoyed playing Guitar

Whoa! I had no idea this was a thing! I'd always thought it was just some weird thing about me. I don't really get a whole lot of pleasure out of music, or get moved by music much. I almost never listen to music. When I do listen,

At no point do I get the feeling that the author hates me. This feature sounds like no one who actually has a period (or maybe even knows someone who has them???) was involved at any stage. I think you have more to get over than the author.

Nah, but I was helping the author clean up his Python environment on Friday, which I think prompted this comic. His environment isn't even the messiest I've seen. I helped an astronomer friend with theirs at one point, and it had

I can assure you that this state of things is still pretty relevant to some of us.

Those seem great, but it doesn't help much if you haven't been using them from the start and now find yourself with a very messy environment.

I think you’re assuming that the cognitive requirements for being an engineer are somehow higher than what most people can meet. I don’t think that’s true, and it seems like an extraordinary claim to make.

Also, I didn't comment on it but the idea that engineers are smarter than other people in the first place sounds like a wildly unfounded assumption
