After 10 years of using Phabricator at a previous company I am still shocked how bad GitHub is. This the industry standard?! Too bad Phabricator is maintenance-only now https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phabricator

Similar experience in neighboring Bulgaria. I remember my dad being upset with me for wasting my time reading “readable little books” (my best effort at approx. translation) meaning fiction, as opposed to proper textbooks.

As a counterpoint, Bartok’s Mikrokosmos [1] was the “textbook” for a piano sight reading class at my community college. He does have a lot of accessible, even pedagogical, pieces. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mik

Confusing title, I thought there was something special in solo music, e.g. pieces for one piano or a single classical guitar

Another simple css-only solution as the article mentions is gradients. Like background: linear-gradient( to right, #51463e 0%, #28241f 100% ); Tool: https://tools.w3clubs.com/gip/

Beethoven’s 5th symphony (da-da-da-DAA) starts with a rest too, it’s not unusual to notate like this. Many pieces have “pickup” measures which are not complete and much shorter than a full measure. But when the pickup is more than 50% of a

A random fact from before the “before” in the article: the cache for all resource types used to be the same. We (ab)used this to do preloading before it was available in the web platform, e.g. download a JavaScript without executing it:

In short - all of your ideas are on the right path. If you’re in the US, consider a class in community college. My CC have one combined piano + music 1. The teacher will guide you to next steps too. CC is inexpensive and a teacher is better

Ah, I know the feeling. I also had a teacher who built his own things with very limited coding skills. Then I started making quick flashcard-style exercises and he was a lot of help testing and helping refine these. So now I have this site

Salt too. I saw professionals use salt during a trip recently and looked it up and tried it. My driveway cracks are devoid of life now.

I remember disliking google’s project names of that era. Too generic and borrow-y. Closure was a concept in JavaScript. Chrome is what Firefox was calling the parts around the rendered page (UI buttons, etc)

Nice! I run a website with music theory exercises where the notation is pretty simple. I’d love to switch to something like this, because the vexflow (what I use now) API is a little much of a re-learning curve for my twice-a-year-let’s-ad

Reminds me of my latest classical guitar lesson… Teacher: Have you ever learnt Villa-Lobos étude #1? (Reaches for his guitar) Me: this thing? (I play one note, very possibly a semitone off as it’s a reach past 12th fret on the D string) Tea

I wish there was some more docs on what it does in addition to modern minifiers such as csso and lightningcss, both of which do refactor css when they deem safe.

Next step: turn the book into a 3D video. I recently read an Isaac Asimov book where he was describing a device that takes a book and acts it out for you. Made me think we’re probably pretty close.
