    I tried this actually and wasn't so happy with the results. First you search / index twice and that will cost. You'll have to wait for the slower of the two as you don't want to re…

    I feel you, I also prefer precise search in most cases. In a private bookmark extension project, I explictly supported both and made it easy to switch them any time: https://github…

    If I needed something like this, my first try would be to take a MIDI / DAW controller like Novation Launchpad Mini Mk3 and write a script for it. This would be cheaper, much more …

    While I got me a 16GB Macbook Air, I appreciate that Apple continues to make 8GB devices. This indicates for me also a commitment for not bloating up the OS (like Windows did) too …

    I'm not surprised if this is true to a wide degree (not fully). What the people that predicted that AI will change productivity drastically in just a year or two imho underestimate…

    There's also one for Bitwig: https://github.com/WeModulate/bitwig-mcp-server

    I'd be interested in how you setup those repos for non-coding tasks, thanks for sharing!

    This is nice, but that it goes into its vendor specific .codex/ folder is a bit of a drag. I hope such things will be standardized across vendors. Now that they founded the Agentic…

    This is interesting. Also "Discover tools on-demand". Are there any stats or estimates how many tools an LLM / agent could handle with this approach vs. loading them all into conte…

    Let me take the other position in this comment: I also see that how MCP works really helped its quick adoption. Because you could just build a local MCP server as a proxy around ex…

    Comment #45310724

    What bothers me about MCP is that there is not even a standard way to describe an entire MCP server in a single JSON file. Like OpenAPI for REST. This makes exchanging metadata and…

    Nice and simple, very responsive! I did something similar a long time back, but not really focused on something that tiles up: https://svg-generator.netlify.app/

    It would have replied the same if you claimed of existing books that they don't exist :)

    Comment #43601696

    Thanks for posting the reddit comment, it nicely explains the line of thinking and the current adoption of MCP seems to confirm this. Still, I think it should only be an option, no…

    Comment #43197991

    What bothers me is that some programmers think that writing the code more dense is already better. But I would argue it's not the characters / less lines of code which creates the …

    Here to recommend this article, really helped me to understand inheritance better. Liskov Substitution is just one aspect / type of it and may conflict with others. https://www.sic…

    Yes, our brain is good at this - but it still takes some capacity in processing to do this. I guess the point is: if you have a simple, high-contrast background - your brain needs …

    Comment #42109436

    Yes, it's not really MIDI 2.0 related, but with the update they will also add multi-client support for MIDI 1.0, so I can record and still use the MIDI input as input to a virtual …

    Looks really great! If I had a standalone keyboard I'd be considering this! Your project got me thinking - here's one idea: Windows should get MIDI 2.0 support soon, incl. non-bloc…

    The MIDI keyboards I know will always output the pedal as part of the overall MIDI out. The pedal is connected to the keyboard via jack cables - or do you have a pedal that has its…

    Thanks for writing this up! Sounds like you really dig deeply in to this. Not entirely sure what you mean with canonical representation (I've heard this in the context of JSON-LD b…

    The main advantages of XML (or any standard) is adoption and a wide ecosystem. Unfortunately that beats any "better" standards by a wide margin. One thing that is also really impor…
