I believe the issue is due to small changes in the overall tension on the instrument caused by changing one string’s tension.

It’s pretty fast to pop open a new tab and visit sheets.new, I do this a lot but not everybody knows about it (and the rest of the .new TLD) The in-line floating thing is not too a…

I expect they want people who are willing to be persistent in working on hard problems that might be challenging or require learning new skills. I don’t see the implication others …

My bad, I meant clear in a more objective sense, in that it will be actually _true_ that these not-alive things will not be able to “possess” anything, rights included. Agreed that…

I suppose it reveals that the sentience of others is not knowable to us, it’s a conclusion we reach from their behavior and the condition of the world around us. Until recently, ce…

> However, without knowing those breakdowns, taking any action to correct those breakdowns is wrong. We can’t accurately say there is a problem. You’re arguing a different point. I…

Hmm. Without actively taking steps to widen the net and account for those irrelevant attributes, those attributes instead act as the first filter in your hiring process. IMO the pr…

Fwiw, starting in iOS 15, Siri will process speech on-device, which is huge.

Rosa Parks did not act in the heat of the moment when she refused to give up her seat. It was a carefully planned moment with multiple parties involved in the planning, intending t…

I didn’t downvote, but … this is just some claims and assertions with no reason to believe them. It’s fine that you think these things I guess, but it’s not a useful comment cause …

But it may provide other benefits like helping others & being perceived as an expert, which can lead to paid speaking opportunities, workshops, or even just another thing on your r…

Web components have been a possible build target for Vue for a while. It seems totally possible to set up a Vue project like you’ve suggested, use all the Vue conventions & tooling…

A screenreader user cares if they are navigating between headings and the headings are not actually headings - and it’s always _better_ if the nature and structure of the content i…

If you see it as just inline CSS, then tailwind can be avoided for all the same reasons that we avoid writing inline CSS. It’s considerably more than inline CSS imo but that’s a di…

It does seem like people ought to just think more about the permanence of what we put online and act accordingly. There is no way to guarantee ephemerality for anything you send to…

Uh. I mean. I see it. I’m not from here, I just live here. I came from the EU where 20 vacation days was the minimum to a state in the US where no vacation or personal time is requ…

They are where I live. The number of sick days required by law is zero.

I mean, there’s an upper bound on how often that can happen (how many personal days people have). Those days are intended to be used at short notice. So if people using them is a p…

I’m not against testing APIs. But testing APIs does not tell you if your latest CSS change broke pointer events on your “add to cart” button, so you can no longer receive orders, e…

It’s possible (and indeed uh ... recommended) to write frontend tests that are resilient to DOM changes by not depending on things that are not essential to the functionality being…

A question that sometimes unlocks a task for me, when I can remember is: what’s the smallest possible thing I can do to move this in the right direction? And somehow, thinking abou…

The translation of thoughts, ideas and intentions into unified written works that have the desired effect on a reader is not something you can read your way into. Obviously you can…

They are definitely good general human skills. The article highlights the relevance in programming because it’s easy to assume that strong technical skills are enough and that this…

... “shouldn’t be laid out like this” doesn’t explain why it’s a _problem_ though. I’m curious about this as well. I think it’s fine as is.

The person does the same amount of work at home that they do in the office, because when being in an office there is a normal background level of distraction, socializing, breaks e…
