Ideally, you want your hands to hover while typing, not resting on your wrists. I had surgery done in one hand a year ago. It has restored my ability to do most things (like cyclin…

It’s the source material, not the codec. Some albums sound vastly better on say Apple Music, regardless of lossless or lossy encoding. It’s almost like Spotify have older, inferior…

> Modern bikes are getting lighter and lighter. The trend over the last few years have been disk brakes, aerodynamic features and wider tires, all of which come with a weight penal…

I suspect the parent is referring to elevation, not distance. 1km in distance would only take a few minutes.

Cycling is very low impact, as long as your bike fits and you’re not grinding away in a heavy gear.

Thank you!

I play guitar in a post-rock band called Caves of Steel. Our third album "Path to Ground" was slated for release around this time last year, but the global pandemic kind of took th…

This is why I’ve come around on the 80 character rule after switching to Emacs, fitting four buffers side by side on my 27” monitor just works. 120 characters/3 columns is great fo…

It’s just files inside a magic folder. Edits are stored in sidecar files. So even if the database is corrupted, you can still recover. You don’t need to have your photos inside the…

For .no, I reckon it's a combination of small population and the fact that you need to be a citizen to buy one. Until recently, they were only available to organizations. There's a…

Yeah, C major (C/F/G) can be a bit awkward on guitar, the F barre chord is a painful hurdle for new players to get over. A major (A/D/E) is probably the easiest key to play. G majo…

Phrygian is quite common in metal, along with phrygian dominant. Great scales for dissonance and tension. Functional harmony kind of goes out the window once you stray from the maj…

Em is the iii chord in C, and it’s rarely used because it doesn’t really add any movement. Harmony is all about the cycle between tension and release, and there are other chords th…

For the low B on my 7 string, I get better intonation and tuning results by using power chords up and down the neck with distortion on rather than relying on a tuner. Fretting tens…

Pianos are like that too. There is a LOT of string tension, and the soundboard warps. Raising the pitch requires carefully balancing by tiny adjustments in several passes.

Very good point. In my experience, it's still worth doing even with good locking tuners. Slack around the post is only part of the equation, the string can also bind at the nut. Es…

Great enclosures. The all-metal design is an important property for guitar pedals, it acts as a noise shield. For the same reason, they're probably not the greatest choice for radi…

That doesn’t sound right, the ii chord of C major is Dm, not D. I’m guessing E minor or G major judging solely by the chords.

Stuva means to stow. Kallax is a swedish village.

There's not really any magic to it. Just keep doing it, and after a while it'll start to sound right. And eventually the pain mostly goes away.

Keep at it. Absolutely everyone started where you are now. 15 minutes is more than enough to start seeing improvement from day to day. Being relaxed and having a light touch is key…

Tab is terrible at conveying rythmic information, playing anything moderately complex is very hard unless you're already familiar with the material. And I'd say it's a very lossy f…

Spot on. Mastering for a wider dynamic range on vinyl makes sense. Not only because of the inherent physical limitations, but it's also reasonable to expect the listener has a dece…
