Macos, ios, google docs, and microsoft word will autocorrect two hyphens to an em dash, which is how I normally type it. On a mac you can also type an em dash with option-shift-hyp…

Really cool! I split my time between cello and software so I'm decently familiar with this line of work. What inspired you to switch careers? I imagine it's not easy to get a footh…

I’m a musician. For the vast majority of colleagues I know (classical), having to use docker will make it a non-starter. But I’m also curious what your app does, if you don’t mind …

Cello! In fact, a few years ago I quit my software job to study cello full time in a masters program.

It’s a good hypothesis. Anecdotally though, I know a bunch of people who have experience playing both, and say that the old instruments can be difficult to play, though sound amazi…

Part of the problem is the potential loss of public value in the form of the undigitized archive, and archive.org provides no solution for that. Now, is it the responsibility of or…

For guis in general, I like how the actions available to me are much easier to learn, and therefore use. The information conveyed through the layout often provides context for rela…

I’ve always wished I could have the desktop behave as a terminal window (un-closable and always ready) rather than a file/folder interface. Does anyone know of a way to achieve thi…

The base stops are ISO 100, 200, 400, etc. Many cameras let you set the ISO in 1/3 stop increments, but if I recall correctly, many camera manufacturers just keep the sensitivity a…

If you take your foot off the gas, acceleration should effectively stop, right? F=ma, so with mass held constant and the only forces being friction, a is actually slightly negative…

I’m in the process of getting my masters at a conservatory, and you’ve just given me a lightbulb moment in understanding why my playing is sometimes inconsistent (muscle memory) an…

I’ve struggled to find a straightforward way to short tether for those who live in the US. Got any pointers?

What are some of the successful methods you mentioned in your first point re: different cultural values?
