Tips for making the CLI expierience nicer for PostgeSQL databases

The notebooks aren't evaluated in reverse, but rather in the order they need to be to get the final results. Observable builds a DAG, similar to Marimo. You can put cells in any or…

Most people really cannot tell you what they want in any reasonable way. So expecting good specs for software without a very laborious interview and review process is pure wishful …

OP said they tried cursor and didn't experience a speedup over their vi macros.

Logseq is block-based while Obsidian is more focused on pages. If you want to build something like Wikipedia, Obsidian fits that well. If you're more used to notion and you think m…

This still relies on being able to name the notes. My point was that you can play the music without knowing the names, so you need some other system like yours to get from the nota…

It sounds like you expect the collaborator to have one jupyter installation that you would pollute with the kernel. In my projects that use jupyter, I always have jupyterlab as one…

I think there is true utility in choosing a unit scheme that matches your number scheme. So we use decimal numbers, makes sense to use decimal units. It seems you're arguing that t…

Yes, I guess this is what self-taught looks like. Although I have seen the use of mnemonics to remember the order of things in many contexts in music, including formal teaching. I …

I'm curious in both of these cases what you are using for feedback. Specifically in the rhythm case, how do you know if you nailed it or just played some other rhythm than was show…

Yes the notes are in a random sequence. The "chords" appear to be chosen as major or minor triads, with random inversions or random "common intervals" like octaves, fifths and four…

If you have an environment set up with a pyproject.toml, just select the Jupyter kernel you installed in the environment. That feels like the case that is well handled by current t…

I was intrigued by your mention of custom keycaps, so for the first time since I bought the keyboard I pulled off one of the caps to find a kind of usable fader still left there wi…

I have found being able to sight read relatively easily to unlock a vast trove of music I'd like to be able to play which would have been harder to pick up purely by ear. It's defi…

I've been tracking my sight reading practice for four years using an iPad app, storing the results and plotting them. I am still seeing progress even after four years.
