Sure, I just wanted to point out the phenomenon of conflating it with musical talent. I'm not suggesting it's an uninteresting concept or isn't worthy of thought/discussion

There's a strange preoccupation with perfect pitch. It's not very useful today since there are inexpensive electronic and mechanical tools to give you absolute pitch. It wasn't eve…

I've tried a lot of programs but always come back to using a low-tech Gmail draft. In this particular case, the advantage over gist is that you can edit it offline on mobile (I rid…

No doubt. This list isn't supposed to be indicative of what's being written in general-- it's about what code is on github.

Is it not still simple with a single character prefix?

good design implies that there's some advantage to its use

disabling the use of #get as a hashtag is still better than disabling its use as an english word
