(Former oboist) You can absolutely adjust the tuning of a note with embouchure, and in a group context will do so all the time to make chords tune better.

Not trying to be "that guy", just figured you might want to know-- although it's pronounced "tamber" it's spelled "timbre". Thanks, english.

I wouldn't be surprised if understanding and owning cryptocurrencies were negatively correlated.

I've yet to find a Zachlike outside of Zachtronics proper that didn't feel like a knockoff rather than a true peer. Signal State was probably the closest aesthetically, but didn't capture at all the optimization puzzle that m

Yep, I do all my own designs. When I got into the hobby in 2014, there weren't nearly as many ergo designs floating around (at least that I was aware of!), so I learned OpenSCAD to design a keyplate and 3d printed it, with a big awkwa

It's a trap for sure. I built two 45%s and one 120% in the past year or two. Already planning the next one...

Lots of people in those places are lonely, yes. Have you never been lonely while surrounded by people before?

Hell, if you want 20 guitars and can afford it, get 20 guitars. Ideally each one brings something new to the table for you. I had a sudden uptick in creativity immediately after buying #6.

Well, that's going in my Wordles bookmark folder. I'm curious whether this one will have staying power. The Wordles I've given up on have generally been either too easy after developing a decent strategy (e.g. Nerdle), or que

I don't actually, although that's a good guess--I think a lot of the really fast solvers use Python. Makes sense--not a lot of typing, big stdlib to lean on. I use JS though, because it happens to be the language I'm most com

That was a very kind way of putting me in my place, and I sincerely appreciate it. I don't have a big competitive coding background or anything like that (AoC is really the only competition I've tried) but I suppose it's unde

You're really overselling the time commitment, in my opinion. Last year, only three days (13, 19, 20) took me more than a half hour. I suppose I probably fit criterion A, but the other two are nonsense.

I think you're conflating two different forms of "centralized". There is nothing inherently un-git about centralizing a bunch of code in a single repo; the decentralization that git is all about is that the repo state is dece

Something about CadQuery still feels a little off, but it's the only CAD tool I've found that really ticks all the boxes that I want, so I will nonetheless happily give it the prestigious "Least Bad According To Me" awar

They can't possibly have sufficient context. I recently got super into the band Squid. But I hated them the first time I heard them. It was because I was depressed and looking for more music like Black Midi-- Black Country New Road cam

No, it's only one bit for the first character and one for the second. The case of every other character is maintained relative to the second character, so the parity there provides the one bit of information for each subsequent alphabe

Sounds awful. No accessibility to screen readers. It's raster-based so you can't zoom. No text selection or copying. And that's just what I thought of off the top of my head...

Those are usually hand-wired (otherwise you need some sort of flex PCB design, which I have seen but it's uncommon) and that makes individual LEDs a huge pain at best.

I feel like the core idea here is really intuitive, but the presentation as fractional bit encoding obscures it—at least to me. It's just encoding an array of values with K distinct possibilities as a base-K number. I had to read the c

I have a mesh missing on one of my windows. For over a year after moving into this house I literally couldn't remember which one without looking up close. It's just that unobtrusive.

Sounds like you might be more interested in live coding. Overtone [1] can do what I think you are describing, and more--it's a frontend to SuperCollider, which has all the audio synthesis stuff you aren't interested in, but it can

First we had proof of work, and it consumed all the world's processing power. Then we had proof of space, and it consumed all the world's data storage. Then we had proof of steak, and it consumed all the world's food. Thus en

I haven't decided on switching from Gmail yet, but recently I took a step in that direction and started switching over accounts to an address on my personal domain. The address still routes to my Gmail box in the end, but at least my m

Not sure why you are complaining about this author in particular when both of the examples in the link show exactly what you asked for: they answer Y and then ask for clarification on X.

I learned to tie Ian's Secure Knot when I had a pair of shoelaces that liked to come untied constantly (I guess the material was too slippery, or something). Never had the problem again. Some other trivial life hacks aren't necess

Honestly, I think decompiled C++ might be easier for me to read than regular C++. Half of the confusing parts are compiled out entirely.

Thank you! I really have no idea, sorry! The beginning is influenced a lot by `she`, but the second half dips more into post-rock than EDM.

"Smashing the stack" was required reading for the final lab project of a 300-level course at IU. As a TA for that class I saw it go right over lots of people's heads. When I took the class myself, I was the only one to finish
