One limitation is that the shapes are really only useful for singing, not for instrumental music. They also would not be meaningful for music that switches keys or that isn't tonal (i.e. isn't in a particular key at all). So they

Extremely useful .gitconfig snippet: [alias] git = !sl catches e.g. `git git status`, which I run shockingly often.

You're comparing regional rail terminal stations, which serve many lower-frequency lines, to subway platforms, which typically serve a single higher-frequency line. (2-10 minutes between trains.) That's the scenario where a mezzan

I completely agree with the more general point, that consuming external data requires a validation layer. But oh boy do I have feelings about class-validator. Here's what it looks like to correctly annotate an array of objects with wit

The alternative would be to write a side effect inside your `render()` function, which is illegal -- it breaks the new Concurrent mode rendering, which can call render() speculatively. I mean, I see why it's intuitively unappealing to

That is very good to hear. I've used Emacs for a decade, but I recently switched to VS Code because JSX support in Emacs was such a mess.

That's great as long as the insurance company deigns to cover you. Before the ACA, that was not guaranteed.

+1 to freetaxusa. I started using them a decade ago when I first had to file taxes, and I've been pleasantly surprised that they have remained a good choice this whole time. The product doesn't even feel like it has changed much (

Eb is probably disproportionately popular due to the common practice of tuning guitars down a half step, making Eb instead of E the natural/easy root chord. I'm not sure why F would be more popular than D and A. One hypothesis wou

As someone with prosopagnosia, I definitely rely on cues like hair. (It works until someone gets a haircut or changes their facial hair.) There used to be a great face blindness test online where it first showed you a bunch of full pictures
