I thought it was epic, gorgeous, fun, and made total sense for the product! There are other pianos in the world. Like, a _lot_ of pianos in the world. It only stands to reason a fe…

Throwing in my vote - I wasn’t confused, saw your GH link and a “Zero to Hero” course name on RL, seems clear to me and “Zero to Hero” is a classic title for a first course, nice t…

Fixed, sorry about that

EDIT: As a couple observant folks pointed out, the original MediaFire link actually still works, so WB machine saved the day by making it possible to find the link, but the jar was…

One of the first programs I ever wrote - a program to find valid English crossword fills given a grid pattern with optional partial completions. This project came to mind recently …

Thank you, this is great!

Judges overwhelmingly side with police officers over defendants as a default stance. Adding laws restricting civilian rights and protecting police officers can only skew that stanc…

This makes me so happy

Stephane, the main Faust developer, recently announced this list of resources to learn Faust on the mailing list: https://github.com/grame-cncm/faustwebsite/blob/master/mkdoc... .

Shameless plug but I put together some Jupyter notebooks that walk through several of the fantastic books recommended in this thread: https://github.com/khiner/notebooks I wanted t…
