What I love about Musescore is the “jazz” font. My father’s a composer (and at some point did fairly elaborate symphonic type work) and used Encore, Sibelius and Finale — and I think I have some kind of musical notation dyslexia that I can

This isn’t that complicated. Both financial and tech debt are trade offs between future and present, leveraging the latter in detriment of the former. But financial debt is authorized by corporate finance, which is empowered to do so by the

I tried a couple of projects that are way too small to get alternatives listed. I got 404s, I expected a page with the libhunt design with some basic metadata and a vague assertion that they will be checked out. Also: you should be logging

People are unusually angry about fat activism. I mean, it promotes unhealthy habits, but so does pro-ana (which targets vulnerable younger girls, too), careless discourse on psychedelic mushrooms (even on mainstream media like Rogan) and ev

I’m bipolar and fasting is a mania trigger. Even just skipping lunch because I’m late for work. (In the bad old days I used to work in a noisy open office and lunchtime was the best time to work.) Edit: not everyone experiencing their first

I got in a loop. I volunteer on 7cups and recommend everyone who can spare the time to do the same. It’s basically chatting with strangers in distress, although the system keeps reminding you to focus on “active listening”.

I have a 9mo and we don’t cook usually so we’re feeding him industrialized baby foods (slowly introducing eggs, alphabet noodles, etc. His appetite is growing crazy fast and baby food isn’t cheap…) What is “stock”?

If you have extra information about vertices you can use it to generate coordinates. Also: you can always augment coordinate proposals with something like the Louvain community detection algorithms at different resolutions and then MDS or U

You should be aware of certain “minimum milestones” that are not average but signal problems that might merit intervention (I have a nephew that couldn’t talk or understand human language by age 3), but otherwise let your child develop at

I wonder if this will work for running Java GUI scientific apps (Gephi, Concept Explorer) that are pretty much impossible to get running correctly on Linux.

I found many small flaws with Julia for my work purposes. But then got in the habit of writing numeric inner loops in Rust and exporting them to Python with pyo3. Maybe I should find out about writing some of that in Julia instead.

This comment was only three days ago, and I’m already in the process of munging my Wordpress exports to make .gmi format text. Gemini is yabba dabba doo awesome.

Arguably much of the “infrastructure” and visual language for GUIs have evolved in the light background/dark text scenario, and “dark mode” has been pretty much improvised in the past couple of years. I work mostly in the daylight and

A reader-mode browser. Refreshing. I wonder if one can make a Gemini browser for iOS bypassing the Apple rule that its own engine must always be used.

I don’t know, “coming of age” seems to imply that there’s some pre-maturity period out of which something is emerging.

Math is “regular” enough that you can get away with using math at a higher level than one understands. All “practitioners” are using fringes of math they barely understand, which is ok — book says Theorem XYZ guarantees. But that’s also whe

I use Rust a little these days but still find the “wizzgrep just like grep but in mother-frakking (party horn) ruuuuuust” off-putting. I think advertising the language is useful in two contexts only. - it’s JavaScript (so available on the c

I disable tabbed browsing altogether and rely on multiple workspaces + auto tiling WMs. Then alt-tab on Windows or something like rofi finds your browser windows by name.
