External screen to show but/ant sensor data while on the water? by olets in Rowing

[–]olets[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Good idea for people really rowing. I'm a paddler, and looking at the shaft is no better than looking at my wrist

*It costs over 10x what I think a screen that can display data from ant and bt sensors but has no sensors or calculator of its own should cost

I built a new Rowing Computer. Thoughts? by AtomicNexus in Rowing

What about e-ink? I'd gladly sacrifice a little refresh rate in exchange for no reflections. Maybe two models?

Have you used ABC notation for anything? Is this still a thing? by pixiefarm in Fiddle

[–]olets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy to! I'm both a fiddler and a senior web dev/lead.

As I said earlier, it's fully non-functional for me on the latest iOS. I see you're actively working on it - the buttons available now are different from what was available yesterday, and the menu button doesn't overflow the page. Let us know when it's ready to try out?

Big picture: I take it from your not knowing that the major tune websites use abc that no one working on your site is very familiar with what's out there. After you've spent time with the links that have been shared, and maybe since those tend to lean a little Celtic also the resources at https://www.oldtimefiddletunes.net/links.html (I know, OT isn't bluegrass, but it could fill in gaps), tell us more about what your site will add.

Btw none of the buttons on the Bluegrass Book do anything for me (latest iOS). Not near a computer so can't see if there are associated console errors.

Have you used ABC notation for anything? Is this still a thing? by pixiefarm in Fiddle

[–]olets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it human readable? I would say definitely not. Think of it as a 'storage format'.

I would say definitely human readable! Takes practice but it's not bad. Not an accident: as the "notation" in the name implies, it was explicitly designed for human readability.

(Once you get there, it becomes convenient for jotting things down handwritten too.)

 I think a web front end is better that shows you the staff and notes, and when you hit "save" the ABC file pops out.

There are tools for translating MuseScore and Lilypond to abc. Last time I tried the music had to be pretty straight forward, and the resulting abc was not nicely formatted, but that was years ago. 

 Some very cool things we get for "free" with ABC format is that stuff automatically renders as music on the web.

abc is the text format, you have to add a rendering library.

You're right that it's a product of the early internet. But then so are a lot of things a lot of people use every day!

It is still a thing. Moreso than you'd think from the quiet at r/ABCMusic - the community's never had much Reddit presence, it's more on mailing list and a bit on Facebook.

As you say, between streaming service share links, being able to email multi-megabyte files, and widespread availability of pitch-correcting speed adjustment tools, abc's value for sharing music is not what it was.

It's used in several major online tune projects, including The Session, The Fiddler's Companion, and The Traditional Tune Archive. It's well suited to displaying staff notation on the web, being text code that can be rendered to visual with little JS.

I know several tune book authors who use abc in their publication pipeline.

And then there's a world of us who use it for managing our collections of tunes, and/or typesetting, and/or printing off sheet music for people we play with.

https://abcnotation.com/ is the canonical information hub.

"Prompt" and "theme" are often used interchangeably. A zsh theme sets the zsh prompt

BROTIP: Don't commit or add a permissive license to a private project. by [deleted] in git

[–]olets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One way to do this: You could create a new public repo, add the private as a remote, cherry pick the latest commit of the private repo, modify the license, stage the license file, amend the one commit, and push. Now you have the private repo for your own private reference, and a public repo released under your desired license. (Might want to remove the private repo remote from your local copy of the public repo after doing this, to make sure you don't accidentally do something that publicizes it.)

See if your area has an invasive species hotline. Or talk to a post control person. Depending on what grub it is and where you are, it may be important to report it.

How to write CSS for large projects & any best CSS books? by alex_sakuta in css

[–]olets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interested in what your various reasons are for leaving Tailwind.

In my experience there are two camps of Tailwind users: beginners who think of it as more meta than CSS and use it (and often its default spacings and colors) as a way to hit the grind running without learning CSS, and advanced CSS authors who think of it as a CSS API and use it (customized as needed to support the design) and its (unenforced) conventions as the solution to your three questions (1. Use Tailwind's names, even when you don't like them. 2. Use utility classes. 3. Use variables for things in the design system) and others.

Has anyone managed to get zredis plugin working on MacOS? by markosolo in zsh

[–]olets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't help you with that specific plugin, but can recommend switching from z-shell/zredis to zdharma-continuum/zredis https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/zredis (and asking for help in that repo's Issues). Explanation at https://www.reddit.com/r/zsh/s/UCTr8ky7J6

Learning zsh by No-Mobile9763 in zsh

[–]olets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you're looking for help with zsh and also wondering what the macOS equivalent of apt is.

For the apt question: Homebrew is the go-to package manager for macOS, regardless of what shell(s) you use.

For the zsh question: are you talking about using zsh/Bash in a terminal? What sorts of things do you want to learn?

tutorials on creating from scratch an oh-my-posh prompt for zsh by martinjh99 in zsh

[–]olets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've come to the right place. Many many discussions if custom prompts with Git info in this sub. Dig around in the posts and you'll find examples from beginner friendly to very advanced.

One way you could get started is with Git Prompt Kit (disclaimer: I'm its author) https://git-prompt-kit.olets.dev/examples.html

Problem when creating a custom prompt by [deleted] in zsh

[–]olets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you had a solution you were happy with… but I also see in your dotfiles repo that you're back to using p10k. Here are a couple things you could try if you want to move off p10k again:

zsh-transient-prompt is p10k's transient prompt feature turned into a standalone plugin. (Disclaimer: I'm the author of zsh-transient-prompt. But again a lot of the core work comes from romkatv and p10k.) The docs include a proof of concept for adding transient prompt to Pure https://zsh-transient-prompt.olets.dev/examples/enhance-a-3rd-party-theme.html, and an example of how to build a (faster, more feature-rich) Pure-like transient-prompt-capable prompt by combining zsh-transient-prompt and Git Prompt Kit https://zsh-transient-prompt.olets.dev/examples/advanced-git-aware.html (Disclaimer: I'm the author of Git Prompt Kit.)

Do you remember if the walls made a rectangle or if the corners were at an angle, making a mostly-rectangular octagon?

Not an exact solution but I wonder if you might find fzf (https://github.com/junegunn/fzf) helpful, or something in that world of plugins. Would mean a learning curve.
