Fellow pianist here who also feels like sometimes too much emphasis is placed on score reading!

One interesting counterpoint that was brought up to me by my teacher in uni was that for certain pieces, mainly old old ones (think way before recording), is that sometimes the score is the _only_ thing that we have left from the composer to base our interpretation on!

I hadn't really considered this before, and it did make me appreciate score reading more (altho I still mostly improvise these days :D)

Re:Signal is having technical difficulties on Friday January 15, 2021 @02:50PM (#25795422)
This sounds good on first pass, but consider the implication of allowing donations (and thus, payment method information) to be tied to a Signal users account. I specifically _wouldn't_ want this.

If I may ask, where did you get the chance to try this, and how was it prepared?

I just read this on wikipedia:

> If the meat is eaten without pretreatment, the ingested TMAO is metabolized into trimethylamine, which can produce effects similar to extreme drunkenness

Might be crazy to think, but the thought crossed my mind if the meat was ever ingested, untreated, for recreational purposes.

> but wow do we sure know that they're dumb hicks who deserve to die

I didn't see that sentiment expressed in the article, or by the majority of comments here.

I can't find it anywhere. Can you provide a link to a source or not? Particularly the "all of one candidate" claim.

Also worth noting claims like this have already been debunked: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/nov/04/viral-imag...

> One of those mail-in ballot batches had 130,000+ votes, all of one candidate.

This is not true. Please provide a source, or stop spreading disinformation.

Then you are realistically fine

Even in a case similar to mine, visiting takeout.google.com before doing anything with billing is always a great idea :)

Do you pay them or any of their subsidiaries for anything?

I have cell service on Google Fi. Long, painful (still-ongoing) story short, they shipped me a Pixel 4a that had no cell service. I went back and forth with support for ten days. Then they shipped me a replacement phone. I confirmed my current address. They sent me a shipping notification for my current address. FedEx ended up delivering the package, no signature required, to a town I used to live in five years ago. I double checked and my current address is the only one on the account.

Going back and forth with support has been useless. I paid for a phone that doesn't work, and I'm being charged for service that I can't use. My last recourse is to refute the payments with my CC company....but that also seems like the quickest way to get my entire Google/YT/Google Fi account locked up because it's all tied together.

I think it is uncharitable to assert that a company that is 45 years old has a strategy that is "never-changing". There is no denying that Microsoft has been hostile to Linux and open source efforts before, but it doesn't mean that this would never change. Last I checked, Microsoft was the largest contributor to open source projects, and Satya Nadella seems to embrace FOSS

I am not at all familiar with the author of the letter, but could you elaborate on this? I didn't get that impression reading the letter, or what I assume is quotes from the author in your comment.

You mention cognitive load, however this post[0] about Go made me think that the "simplicity" of Go might come with it's own issues that lead to more cognitive load in the long run

If you view the historical uptime, it does seem like there have been more incidents in the past three months, but otherwise the waters look calm (as reported at least): https://www.githubstatus.com/uptime?page=1

I use meet for multiple hours a day, haven't ever had issues with the video dropping, but the tiling thing really does bother me for any meetings that aren't 1:1s. It's crazy when I am in a meeting with 50+ people and can only see the faces of a few. I don't know why they can't fix this.

FWIW, and this is just my personal experience, but I find Dart to be very similar to Typescript, and we have JS engineering teams building out new mobile apps in Dart ;)
