This is really a great idea. While fancy these piano tuts are quite useless compared to something like guitar tabs. Hope it will improve

It looks a lot like other Spiekermann’s font like Fira Sans or Meta Sans. Humanists fonts have been so overused by big corps that I’m not sure I want to have it in my ui.

You can prevent that without using the army. A country using its army against its own people is not a thing a democratic country does.

And talkers… How many thinkers died without self promoting their ideas ? How many doers didn’t have the ressources to execute their ideas ?

New comment by tangue in "Nevermind, an album on major chords"

tangue — Sun, 04 May 2025 16:33:06 +0000

Yep 90% power chords and the sound on Nevermind was in part due to Butch Vig. It’s simple but at the time quite unheard : bit of compression a lot of overdub, maybe a little flange/chorus but it was quite minimal compared to heavy metal, guitar heroes of the time and really different from the punk bands.

I support the conclusion, but khtml should have been mentioned somewhere.

Why using grunt on a new project ?

From their FAQ : « Hey doesn’t support IMAP or POP ». Time to write a blog post about how to easily switch from Hey to another mail provider

Am I the only one to think of the text editor when I see Kate without much context in a title ?

Some people call it imperialism, but for me US is more like an hegemon, a center which can impose its cultural norms to its periphery. But some people in France like to think that’s France is a US colony. I’m fine with that, because if it’s the case, french people are treated way better than the inhabitants of former french colonies.

Yep in 2024 we still haven’t found a generic datepicker and hundreds of people on the internet are coding their own version. HTML5 snafu

Back in the days I’ve discovered NetworkX and Gephi in a Coursera course and was really surprised about how simple it managed to represent visually such a hard problem (I’ve never been able to find this course again it started with Erdos number that’s the only thing I remember)

I’m surprised that Knuth’s book isn’t in the top 5 and I’m very surprised to see Descarte’s meditation as even in France no one longer reads this ( must be related to the various posts about meditation on HN imho ) and Franck ( not Brian ) Herbert wrote Dune. I don’t trust this post and indeed I don’t trust anything published on the Internet after Llms went mainstream.
