My team upgraded our frontend monorepo from npm+lerna to Yarn 2 with PnP. We saw vastly improved installation time, most importantly on incremental installations. The startup times…

Is it time for Epic to invest in the PinePhone?

Looking at https://github.com/NerdyPepper/dijo/blob/8b91a7c0b3d9bd4fac3... , it seems like it uses https://crates.io/crates/cursive

This is activist art. The intended response is anger, not complacency. See http://photorequestsfromsolitary.org/information

Cerner just wanted cloud storage. Google gave them a good offer, seemingly to harvest patient data for their own project. You can use archive.is to read some paywalled content: htt…

Citymapper is excellent, especially for short trips that can be done in many different ways. Sometimes, for longer trips, Citymapper shows “Uber” or “long walk” as part of a route.…

Neat! When working with Options/Results/Iterators, you can use `.map` [1] for exactly this purpose. It would sometimes be convenient to have something like `.map` / `.let` on unwra…

While there might be a better syntax if you only care about this one feature, async/await needs to fit into an existing language, and this syntax makes sense with the rest of Rust.…

I got started by using an organization's API on a platform they didn't support and then offering to be a contractor when they sent me a cease and desist. I found other odd dev work…

It's neat that Hacklily is right next to an article about Reicha. Very musical day on HN. Anyway, here's a piece by Reicha in Hacklily: https://www.hacklily.org/#?edit=jnetterf/she…

For Hacklily, it turns out that the audio is rendered clientside via https://github.com/hacklily/hackmidi Caching sheet music rendering is a hard problem. For example, a note later…

As someone who has tried making a sheet music renderer, VexFlow is extremely impressive.

Very cool work -- I'm a fan. I considered Lambda and similar, but keeping LilyPond running as a server allows for lower latency, which is important given how long it takes for Lily…

Here's an arbitrary example from mutopiaproject.org: https://www.hacklily.org/?edit=jnetterf/sheet-music/BWV857BW...

Right now, there are 183 active users, and the CPU is staying around 5% on my Ryzen 7 1700. Keeping LilyPond running as a server helps. Can you tell me more about your goals? I'm o…

That's awesome! Do you have any suggestions on how Hacklily could help you typeset & share music?

I think the LilyPond documentation ( http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/learning/index ) is a pretty good way of learning LilyPond. It's linked to from "menu > LilyPond ma…

Someone requested MIDI and other exports at https://github.com/hacklily/hacklily/issues/2 and I'll try to tackle soon. Hacklily already makes MIDI available (for playback), so it's…

That's super motivating, thanks for taking the time to comment!
