I thought they were destroyed just because they rip out the spine to scan them more easily?

Plus you just know in a few months they are going to be stale and reference code that has changed. I have even seen this happen with colleagues using llms between commits on a single pr.

I love data visualizations like these. OP if you want to improve sight reading faster, I would recommend using non-random notes - context is very important when sight reading and if you get a professional pianist to sight read random notes

I think the author is discounting their own design sense which is necessary to come up with the ideas! (Or even to take inspiration from other sites.) Side note, better not animate with useState when you can use CSS animations, react render

Big fan of Payload, which I used (1.x) when I updated my personal website/blog (in my profile) at the start of the year. It was super easy to implement comments with replies and optional email notifications.

Are we talking about the same thing? I mean the Mongolian throat signing in that YouTube link, which has crazy low fundamentals (I have a deep bass voice and it's much lower than I can sing).

Is this how throat singing works? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qx8hrhBZJ98

How do people usually backup their self-hosted docker services using postgres? I have been using docker-volume-backup [0] and just saving the postgres data directory, but I've found it requires a minute of downtime to backup properly.

"Hybrid piano"? What does that mean?

Actually, human perception is incredibly good, though I agree prone to biases. But there are no double blind studies on this, so why dismiss experts' opinions so readily? > Electronic keyboards have weighted keys and similar tactile

I don't know about wine, but those violinists were asked which instrument they preferred, not which was a Strad. I don't see how that or a blind test is relevant to what I wrote anyway? Except for a cheap dismissal.

I'm a professional musician but not on piano, and even I can tell the difference. While it may be true that velocity is the only variable, it's not a physics problem. As a player you can't choose the instantaneous velocity fo

This is such an HN comment ;) Sibling comments are correct that weighted keys, graded hammer action, etc are all much better than a plastic level but still don't have a proper sense of touch that is linked directly to the sound. It&#x2

by lucas_codes 3y ago
Love the idea and the design - but if the hammer isn't mechanically coupled to the keys, it's hard to imagine it will have proper control and feedback from the touch. I'm sure the designer is fully aware of this, so it's

Sounds like you would like Netlify CMS. You can set it up so it edits a few markdown files, and these files are used in your static build.

One great masking effect that doesn't use masking which I love: If you have a tall-ish avatar with a transparent background, overlay it on a coloured circular div (border-radius: 999px) and set only the bottom corner-radius. That way i

I wrote a short post last week on burger menus using the <summary> tag. It should be accessible, being more or less the intended use for the element, but curious to see HN rip it apart :) https://lucas-levin.com/code&#

All these comments complaining about complexity of the selectors - if you haven't read the MDN page on selectors in the last 5 (10?) years, perhaps now is the time? We were begging for these features for years and it was a nightmare wa

I thought rem was "root em" since its relative to the document root and not relative to the parent like em.

Plenty of people develop using wsl2 - perhaps the author should have asked for advice instead of writing a ranty blog post pointing out tradeoffs that are easy to work around for a big benefit

Love it! In the world of Music Conservatories, practice space is limited and there is a lot of competition to get a room booked. Many places use a niche scheduling product called Asimut specifically tailored to conservatories. Depending on

Partly I think if you have experience in web dev, you learn to recognize which frameworks/technologies are worth pursuing and which are not. It's also worth noting, some of it comes down to personal preference and purpose of the p
