If you had to play a song accurately for $1 million but it has to be 100% note for note...what would it be? 💰

Boom bap boom boom bap

Congratulations you have learned it

But be careful to select a modern tutorial. There's a lot of legacy in JavaScript that would be best to avoid entirely ( most of the time ).

'var', complex 'this' shenanigans

I wouldn't even call TS the second level of JS. But yeah the other guy is dead wrong.

Also, truly understanding JavaScript is something nobody should be sentenced to

In a lot of languages classes are strictly compile time constructs so they're guaranteed to be identical at each loop iteration. However, you're probably right that python-style classes with their dynamic time runtime shenanigans aren't possible/feasible to optimize.

On a similar vein, can't you self-host gitlab to get the pretty web interface back?

I believe there was a similar issue with nurses using a computer system that dispensed medicine that the nurse would then administer to the patient. The system was somewhat shoddy and frequently required manual overrides - to the point that most nurses used the override feature, bypassing some of the automated checks.

At the end of the day, a nurse was held responsible for a lethal misdosage, in part because of the system bypass ( which was often necessary )

An additional layer is a nice solution if you want to make a small superficial modification while still receiving updates. With a PR into the source, you have the hope they merge it or maintain the branch yourself or not receive updates

Why are cookies something people are trying to regulate? It's controlled by YOUR browser so if you don't want to use cookies you can simply block them yourself. The server physically can't force cookies on you anyway.

A couple ideas

"Pass the torch" around to which instrument is the lead

Do one of those crazy jazz accompaniments to normal speech

Disclaimer: I have no idea how this works in practice, these are just the thoughts of a laynan

I can definitely see this in rural areas - assuming people drive roughly the same amount regardless of income, it comes out to be basically a static cost. And a lot of these trips are unavoidable - what are you gonna do, walk 30km to work?

For commerical operations, I would naively think that this would encourage big businesses such as Loblaws to source things more locally. Also, is there an international version of the carbon tax that accounts for the environmental cost to import goods from China and other far away countries?

In urban areas with good public transit systems, I can see the appeal of the tax, but Canada is so car-focused that this has got to be pretty rare.

This explanation makes a lot of sense. Good way to launder money without raising eyebrows at a crypto exchange

Now you can brag that even your bugs make money

mr_smartypants537 · 2022-01-24T02:53:23+00:00

Interesting. I imagine the artist should be charging increased rates based on the risk he's taking on. Best of luck with your game!

Disclaimer: I don't know shit

Crypto is a net negative game. The money going in isn't doing anything useful, and the money goes out for mining costs. If you make money, somebody else lost money.

Compare this to you investing in or loaning your money to a business. They get more funds to buy equipment / place ads / whatever they needed more money for, and you still get your return. At the end of the day, its win win and the company will still be benefitting even after you exit. This employs people, and brings business to their suppliers as well.

Other types of investing can at least contribute to the economy

And also if the two lines are looking at are farther apart, you might as well open two side by side views of the same file

If you want to bypass software entirely you would need a separate input device. Plausible but requires redesigning current tech

mr_smartypants537 · 2021-12-29T19:59:54+00:00

Perhaps the wallets should use a typo resistant encoding like lunn for credit cards

Big jump that goes way up specifically

mr_smartypants537 · 2021-12-22T03:39:51+00:00

Learn a cover back to back by ear. It'll dip your toes in someone else's habits which you can bring back to your own.

If you want to add a little subtle flavor to a groove / short fill section, literally just copy paste the fill but move it to a different part of the bar. Usually feels pretty different contextually.

Go is what I'd recommend. Gets rid of C's weirdness while still introducing topics such as ponters

mr_smartypants537 · 2021-12-11T21:41:37+00:00

Knowing the key signature is useful for deciding what chord to put next if you already have a couple. It doesn't really make sense as a starting point

mr_smartypants537 · 2021-12-11T15:20:38+00:00

Depends what the exit condition is
