Ideally, you want your hands to hover while typing, not resting on your wrists.

I had surgery done in one hand a year ago. It has restored my ability to do most things (like cycling or using a gamepad), but regular keyboard and mouse use is still a problem.

For me, the biggest impact has been switching to a vertical mouse. That, along with a tented split keyboard allows me to work most days without aggravating my CTS.

It’s the source material, not the codec. Some albums sound vastly better on say Apple Music, regardless of lossless or lossy encoding. It’s almost like Spotify have older, inferior masters that they’ve never updated.

You’re right that it’s not the technology. I’ve released a few albums, and they sound virtually indistinguishable across various services since they’re from the same master files.

> Modern bikes are getting lighter and lighter.

The trend over the last few years have been disk brakes, aerodynamic features and wider tires, all of which come with a weight penalty. Some brands are now starting to converge their aero and lightweight offerings, though.

I suspect the parent is referring to elevation, not distance. 1km in distance would only take a few minutes.

Cycling is very low impact, as long as your bike fits and you’re not grinding away in a heavy gear.

Thank you!

This is why I’ve come around on the 80 character rule after switching to Emacs, fitting four buffers side by side on my 27” monitor just works.

120 characters/3 columns is great for more verbose languages, but I find it a bit too wide for a vertical split on a 15” laptop monitor.

It’s just files inside a magic folder. Edits are stored in sidecar files. So even if the database is corrupted, you can still recover.

You don’t need to have your photos inside the catalog either, they can be referenced externally.

If you like to maintain your own structure, you might like the Sessions feature. It’s an folder-based alternative to the monolithic catalog.

For .no, I reckon it's a combination of small population and the fact that you need to be a citizen to buy one. Until recently, they were only available to organizations. There's also restrictions on the number of registered domains you can have (100 for organizations, 5 for individuals), that limits squatting somewhat.

People unable to use public transit are eligible for subsidized taxi rides.

Yeah, C major (C/F/G) can be a bit awkward on guitar, the F barre chord is a painful hurdle for new players to get over.

A major (A/D/E) is probably the easiest key to play. G major is arguably the most useful, because you have access to all the important chords in open position: G, Am, C, D, Em.

Phrygian is quite common in metal, along with phrygian dominant. Great scales for dissonance and tension.

Functional harmony kind of goes out the window once you stray from the major/minor modes anyway. You have to lean heavily on the root to maintain the tonality, or else the perceived key center tends to shift.

Em is the iii chord in C, and it’s rarely used because it doesn’t really add any movement. Harmony is all about the cycle between tension and release, and there are other chords that do a much better job at filling the roles a iii chord could have.

It’s useful for dreamy and somewhat static chord progressions though.

For the low B on my 7 string, I get better intonation and tuning results by using power chords up and down the neck with distortion on rather than relying on a tuner. Fretting tension and picking intensity becomes a huge factor with low tension and high string gauges.
