Probably a factor, but I think it’s more for ease of use with all those strings, so that incidental contact isn’t producing sounds, along with the pull off energy when releasing notes. You do a lot of subconscious muting when playing a guit

It is noise gated, which could be what you’re hearing. (This lets you play more piano like and not have to mute all those open strings)

They aren’t. The advice in the article isn’t bad, but it’s not the only way. An alternate path I would suggest is get hired by a large corporation who employs systems programmers, straight out of college. Straight into a systems role or not

We don’t really know the context of this anecdote, but if you have to completely re-run your test plan on a real plane with real munitions for newly deployed software, which is a pretty good idea, then I could see it costing millions, even

I don’t believe that’s a c language thing, but a posix thing. anyway, in my own code for myself I do it, but it is frequently forbidden in coding standards I’ve worked under (even in a non posix environment) and it doesn’t rise to the level

The out of the box experience for beepy is better, standard raspberry pi linux plus some drivers, with a script that installs them. Watchy had a supposed easy way to install watch faces that I could never ever make work, had to join the dis

I’ve been enjoying toying around with my beepy, but the display is pretty miserable. I’d say you almost need outdoor light to enjoy it. Lights on inside it’s fine, usable, but lots of tilting to get the best angle. And I’d love just a littl

Laundry service was a pretty common perk for Bay Area employers 10 years ago.

When I was regularly traveling to the Bay Area for work my typical accommodations were like $180. However, when I was paying for it from my own pocket and had less money, there were some spots on El Camino Real in Santa Clara that were $59

I mean, modern washing machines use much less water and electricity, and leave the clothes less wet so the dryer has less to do. I’m not sure, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they were less damaging to clothes as well.

No. I think I liked it, but it’s been a while since I read it. I’m trying to find a blog post from someone about 10 years ago that was like “10 books to talk about on a date to signal you’re sensitive and intelligent that are better than UL

I kinda doubt it, for two reasons: that’s more work than just opening a preinstalled program and typing, and if it was cgi, I would expect something whipped together in photoshop and after effects or whatever, and not a real program. My thi

You could view a tweet if linked to it, but it would limit your ability to view a feed or navigate elsewhere. Which is similar to instagram, but insta is more aggressive with stopping you, whereas twitter gave a slightly larger grace period

Relatedly, if Harvard isn’t a good place for smart and not rich kids to socialize with rich kids, why would people want to go there? The point of Harvard is that you can become pals with a senator’s son. There are other schools if pure acad

less than 10% of the time? Different pins and a very short pattern maybe could achieve that, but I strongly disagree. I think that would decrease even further the popularity of bowling as a spectator sport. It would just be confusing to a c

Indeed you can even get a single, uh, shaft, that has a ball on each side and pull it out and rotate it to select which one to use. Maybe not for a 3” hitch.

Probably not THAT small, but not most workers, and I guess I feel that articles like these, reflecting the work that the authors themselves do, make it that WFH-capable jobs are the default. Office workers are normal, and taxi drivers aren’

These articles are kinda funny to me since I don’t know anyone in my corner of the industry, in my corner of the world who has been fully wfh since 2021. And like, nobody is all that upset about it? We need to share hardware, we were borrow

Rather not rehash this discussion, but just a reminder that some people feel exactly opposite. In person disruption is really no big deal for me, but slack is a tool that destroys all productivity.

Most people don’t have very much of a yard, and even a relatively large garden, say a fifth of an acre is not going to replace much industrial farming. I’m not saying it’s valueless (I think many home grown veggies are more delicious than a

> recent theory that late stage capitalism does naturally morph into socialism I think this is a quite old theory, and well, who knows on the scale of history, but I am pretty skeptical about it over the last 50 years.

After their first 3 albums I feel that there are plenty of misses, one example is “Hardest Button to Button” which I feel needed like, a little longer in the oven. It could have become a good song. Anyway, still fun to revisit them with thi

Interesting to read that the iOS 7 depth/parallax effect was tried all over the UI. It makes sense to indicate interactivity in a better way, but probably the right call to ditch that.

Understand is still around, and probably still that expensive. I’m not aware of a better tool, but it has its weaknesses. Often we would make understand-only changes to help it “see” better, since we were taking diagrams straight from Under
