> You refer to perfect pitch and absolute pitch like they're different things -- do you realize that they're the same thing?

Are you referring to someone else's comment? I use them interchangeably in the first paragraph

Sure, I just wanted to point out the phenomenon of conflating it with musical talent. I'm not suggesting it's an uninteresting concept or isn't worthy of thought/discussion

There's a strange preoccupation with perfect pitch. It's not very useful today since there are inexpensive electronic and mechanical tools to give you absolute pitch. It wasn't even that useful previously.

I believe that people confuse it with relative pitch which usually translates to the skill of transcribing and memorizing melodies. This is very useful as a musician or even in daily life sometimes. There are people who have an innate talent for that too, but it's unrelated to perfect pitch.

I've tried a lot of programs but always come back to using a low-tech Gmail draft.

In this particular case, the advantage over gist is that you can edit it offline on mobile (I ride the subway) and it syncs automatically

This is a perfectly interesting post, but why target Snowden? Guess it's eye catching

It seemed like a slick new iteration of Gopher with the capability of inline images (that no one really had yet)

What model laptop stand is he using in the picture?

Yes, I understand that. The fact is that people drink and do drugs. Smart people, stupid people. That's reality.

This is a "thought experiment" that teaches cowardice, IMO
