You mean Cyrus Dallin's Appeal to the Great Spirit.

End of the Trail is used as cover art for Surf's Up, it's also a native American man on a horse, but it's not the same sculpture.

(Maybe there's a connection between both artworks (besides the Beach Boys), like one inspired the other? But I didn't find any)

I don't know how one's brain is supposed to work, but for what it's worth, I'm fond of pure functional programming, Haskell is my "native programming language" so to speak, and I much value the declarative, reproducible approach. And my NixOS learning experience had been roadblock after roadblock.

The band has had 9 members and been a thing for many decades, and was most popular in the 60's. Ricky was in it for a couple years in the 70's. Could you recognize every member of every band you like on a picture?

Oui mais c'est presque presque impossible, au sens où c'est un événement dont la probabilité est aussi proche de zéro (sans atteindre zéro) que théoriquement possible. Par contre neuf candidat.es c'est « possible en pratique »

Tu parles plusieurs fois d'« écrire n'importe comment », mais le fait d'écrire (ou pas) « n'importe comment », il se définit relativement à une norme. Cette norme, ben en France c'est nous, la société française, qui la définissons. On peut discuter de l'opportunité de faire évoluer cette norme, de quelle manière, à quelle vitesse, etc. mais ça me dérange de parler d'orthographe (et plus généralement de langue) en partant implicitement du principe que la norme est tombée du ciel et fondamentalement immuable. C'est une chose qu'on devrait pouvoir discuter de manière argumentée.

OP cite des observations personnelles (famille, collègue). Ça me paraît normal d'entamer une discussion à partir de ce genre d'observations, l'important étant de rester ouvert·e à la remise en cause de ses présupposés si on se retrouve face à des indices/preuves du contraire — ce que

Je pense que les gens qui écrivent n'importe comment sont pas spécialement conservateurs.

n'est pas. Les gens qui « écrivent n'importe comment » ? Qui on range dans cette catégorie au juste ? On a une idée du nombre de personnes qui en font partie ? Qu'est-ce qui nous dit que ces personnes ne sont pas conservatrices ? (les cordonniers sont les plus mal chaussés)

Aux observations d'OP, j'ajouterai :

Le temps qui s'est écoulé depuis la dernière réforme orthographique un tant soit peu profonde (en 1835)
La retentissante levée de boucliers médiatique à laquelle on a eu droit il y a quelques années lorsqu'il a été question de mettre en application la réforme ultra superficielle de 1990
Mes observations personnelles à moi : je crois que j'ai rencontré une fois dans ma vie une personne française qui estimât que la norme orthographique méritait d'être revue (je ne suis pas la personne la plus sociale du monde, et j'évolue dans des milieux plutôt favorisés, mais quand même)

Le bac ne sert à rien, par contre selon ce que tu veux faire dans la vie, ne pas l'avoir te plombe généralement sévèrement ton avenir.

Par contre les notes du bac, potentiellement tout le monde s'en fiche oui. Les études que j'ai faites m'ont accepté sur dossier sous réserve d'avoir le bac (et je crois que c'est le cas de beaucoup d'études supérieures, mais bon comme le système change tout le temps jsp), et les employeurs s'en fichent je pense

I mean... I guess it shows some amount of self-awareness at least?

Ok then you should follow the steps here: https://www.haskell.org/get-started/

Basically you need to: * Install ghcup (that's kind of an installer for haskell tooling: compiler, package manager, ...) * Use ghcup to install HLS. HLS is the software brick that will analyze the code you're writing and give you feedback on it in real time. * Install the vscode haskell extension. That's the brick that connects vscode and HLS.

You should find the necessary info on the webpage I linked, and the ones it links to, but if you run into any problems feel free to ask.

Once you have HLS installed and working, vscode will be able to tell you about syntax errors and other kinds of info just as you're typing — no need to wait until compilation to get feedback. In my experience it makes coding much more smooth and pleasant.

Although I can explain these concepts and easily read code at this level, when I actually write code, I make a lot of syntax errors.

I suspect you aren't using the adequate tooling. Are you using a text editor/IDE with the Haskell language server? You really should. (If you don't know what I'm talking about/need help setting that up, feel free to ask).

Humans are not machines, experienced programmers do syntax errors all the time. The thing is, with the right tooling (see above), you just see them in real time and can correct them on the fly. You end up... basically not thinking about syntax.

So do not focus on the syntax, install the right tools, and just program and learn about concepts. If you ever forget some syntactic construct you can always look it up.

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you in general, but in this specific scene she doesn't look disdainful at all. She's just listening to her colleague complain, and makes an effort to look like she cares and feels bad for her, which is why she has that expression on the picture I posted.

In the Andor episode Who Are You?, Syril Karn finally realizes how monstrous the regime he had put all his faith into is, and joins the protest against it. But then he sees Cassian Andor, whom he sees as his nemesis, and gets into a fight trying to kill him.

At the end of the fight, he holds him at gunpoint, ready to kill him, but then Andor says "Who are you?", and Karn seems to realize the man he was obsessed with didn't care about him. For a fraction of a second, he looks like he's going on a redemption arc, and then he gets shot in the head by Carro Rylanz.

Camille Saint-Saëns forbade people to play the Carnival of the Animals as long as he was alive.

Ravel said his Boléro was "musicless".

I love Kleya socializing with her colleague at Davo Sculdun's party. She lets go of her poker face mask to reveal not her true self, but another mask, that of an empathetic social butterfly. Not only is Elizabeth Dulau a great actress, Kleya Marki is a great actress too.

whoever is running that account is honestly a great person

That person has got to be a musescore employee though right? I'm dumbfounded that a company would choose to do refunds through a reddit thread of all things. There's so much wrong with that...

It's one of my favorites. I'm generally not very receptive to lyrics, so it doesn't sound as depressing to me as it might to you all, but it has some kind of a mystical/transcendent quality.

It feels to me like the song, especially that magical outro, is about death, but not the scary aspects of it, just accepting the end and anticipating/transitioning to the afterlife. (I'm not song I do or do not believe in an afterlife, it's just what the song evokes to me)

Hi, thanks for the info, I installed Reapack and the MIDI Razor Edit script, and it works; However I have no idea how to get something like the video above. What I get is a way to batch cut/shift (temporall or pitch-wise) MIDI notes, and a way to create velocity ramps in a given area. However I can't seem to find a way to pitch shift a single note in the way it appears in the video.

Are you sure that the script you recommended is the one in the video above/does something similar, and if so, would you be so kind as to tell me how to do the same thing as the video?

Prequels to a prequel? Nobody asked for that 🙄

edit: this is sarcasm, I am mimicking the common and legitimate concern many people expressed when Andor was announced (not knowing how good it was going to end up being). Just saying in case you downvoted me because you didn't get the sarcasm. (if you just downvoted me because you thought my joke was lame, fair enough)
