The notebooks aren't evaluated in reverse, but rather in the order they need to be to get the final results. Observable builds a DAG, similar to Marimo. You can put cells in any order you'd like. I think that in all the notebook s

Most people really cannot tell you what they want in any reasonable way. So expecting good specs for software without a very laborious interview and review process is pure wishful thinking. People "know what they like when they see it&

Logseq is block-based while Obsidian is more focused on pages. If you want to build something like Wikipedia, Obsidian fits that well. If you're more used to notion and you think more in bullets, Logseq could be a better fit.

This still relies on being able to name the notes. My point was that you can play the music without knowing the names, so you need some other system like yours to get from the notated signature to the name (or other way around).

It sounds like you expect the collaborator to have one jupyter installation that you would pollute with the kernel. In my projects that use jupyter, I always have jupyterlab as one of the dependencies. Not sure about the naming part, since

I think there is true utility in choosing a unit scheme that matches your number scheme. So we use decimal numbers, makes sense to use decimal units. It seems you're arguing that the real mistake is using decimal numbers to begin with?

I have considered lessons but I didn't like the prospect of searching for a teacher. This particular piece of practice is only one part of my larger music-making activity. I make mostly electronic music using Ableton Live and a Push 2.

These charts are serving a few purposes. First of all, it is motivating to me to see improvement. I can see for instance learning curve dropout when I skip practice, and knowing what a gap will look like on the chart motivates me to keep go

I have found this to be less boring than trying to plough through my copy of Hanon, since there is rapid feedback. It's a different kind of game. I struggle to get to 10 minutes of scales or Hanon stuff, but have no issue on the random

Yes, I guess this is what self-taught looks like. Although I have seen the use of mnemonics to remember the order of things in many contexts in music, including formal teaching. I thought some of these were universal: FACE and Every Good Bo

I'm curious in both of these cases what you are using for feedback. Specifically in the rhythm case, how do you know if you nailed it or just played some other rhythm than was shown by your cards? Did you also generate the sound? In th

Yes the notes are in a random sequence. The "chords" appear to be chosen as major or minor triads, with random inversions or random "common intervals" like octaves, fifths and fourths, I don't think I've ever c

If you have an environment set up with a pyproject.toml, just select the Jupyter kernel you installed in the environment. That feels like the case that is well handled by current tooling. I believe this is solving the common complaint that

Do you also object to people paying money to have other people's art in their homes? Is the moral damage from getting an artwork in your home that you didn't create inversely proportional to your monetary investment?
