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 foothold as a luthier either. Do you feel like you&#x27

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 sharing details!

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 organization X or person Y to preserve this value? I’m not sur

Hah, I flew planes into ceiling fans too! I also remember scraping my planes against the floor until holes wore into the paper, and seeing how well they could continue flying. There was something really cool about seeing a plane with so muc

Is this the type of reasoning that could be used to basic math without errors (without using a dedicated math engine)? I wonder why that type of reasoning seems to struggle. I think chatgpt is interesting in its ability to highlight the sub

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 related actions. In my experience, CLIs are great for efficiency

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 this?

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 at the base stops and adjust the brightness via software

I’m intrigued by this. Did you have any symptoms that pointed to sleep apnea besides being tired/falling asleep during the day? I used to fall asleep during class, which led to my (positive) life changing adhd diagnosis. While stimulan
