How exciting! I wrote my own pbt lib for zig ( https://github.com/AntoineBalaine/zlowcheck ) and it made me sad I couldn't get it nearly close to hypothesis. Looking forward to see…

That's not perfect pitch. 90% accuracy in pitch recognition based on memory retrieval is not perfect pitch. As for the bunch of comments here claiming they acquired AP at adult age…

Isn't this the case in most universities?

I'd argue that if you've never longed for automations, it's because you've never written a hard score. Any ambitious piece written at the churn pace that a composer needs to make a…

Using vim to edit large dictionary files. I forked a steno dictionary for Plover, and edited its 300k entries in vim. I've ben using regex daily since then.

The real reason is because we tune instruments differently. Anything about "why would you want to be a copy cat of Bach?" is just non-sense - musicians have been copy-catting each …

The shocking thing about Spotify's UI was that it was never modeled to be a record collection or a record store. It was always modeled to be a database front end. The ui design and…

Here's the context: the fr gov's been acting against national interest for more than 20 years in a row. The people know it. The gov knows the people know. The gov wants to pretend …

I saw your design and it's fascinating. The whole concept of writing without distractions is really awesome. Good luck!

Kagi's made the internet pleasant again for me - the very low amount of noise in the search results, and removing the pervasive sensation that I was constantly getting tricked into…

A month into Kagi and not one fallback-search I've made on Google yielded better results. I'm glad to finally have the option to use an essential web service without being turned i…

I reckon grades inflation is going to keep following tuition inflation. Can't blame Harvard for this one, most schools have to balance the financial impact that academic exigence h…

This. This right here is the voice of common sense. With fossil fuel-supply contracting in the coming decades and over-spread cities' infrastructures being impossible to navigate w…
