I like Dan Callaway on YouTube. Jeff Rolka is another good teacher. However, singing is complicated and choosing which exercises you'll use to teach folks ... You need 1. Vowel alignment 2. Coordination of voices 3. Breath support and vocal tension management 4. Mouth shape, tongue placement.

And then there's "how to read a song", deciding which words are emphasized, where to breathe, modifications to fit your voice, etc.

It's interesting because some of these bands are older than these terms. Alcest wasn't considered blackgaze until albums inspired by their own sound became popular, for example.

Metal also has history where a genre is aesthetically defined as well as sonically, which complicates things.

Would you ever blog/talk about it? Sounds interesting.

When you have days like this, 2-10 billion and you want to search it, what are the cheapest options? Reindexing could be slow, be search should be reasonably quick. It would be really expensive to do this all in, say, Elastic, right? Especially if you had a bunch of columns?

Isn't the alternative less home ownership and less growth in quality of life? Didn't all of those programs increase demand which made people homeowners?

There are a number of reasons why homes are expensive today and it's not just "social programs bad".

Always, and sometimes I'll add authors notes as comments on the PR. This is actually one reason I dislike "all threads resolved" as a criterion for approving PRs (or specifically GitLab PRs).

Adjust the height to the highest setting.

Put gas in it. If there's a soft rubber thing near the gas, hit it twice to provide some fuel but no more as you risk "flooding" the engine.

Hold down any handle at the top of the mower, often the thing will require you to manually hold it down during start and all operations.

Look for the starter pull. It's often on the right, on the motor or mower handles. It's a piece of plastic attached to a cable. Give it a yank with a full follow through. It doesn't have to be maximum effort but too gentle won't work either.

> you can plausibly make up the rest about what you actually did there.

I would never do this, and if you would do this I wouldn't want to work with you. Maybe I'm a sucker, but I sleep alright.

I don't mind the end of remote work, as long as the "cool office" actually comes back. Here in Ann Arbor it feels like the tech scene died with remote work and all the jobs are remote.

From my perspective, wages have increased faster elsewhere, and there are far more remote jobs than local ones. The whole reason I moved to Ann Arbor for work was because UMich had created a little startup scene that I could aspire to. I expected the scene to grow, not fade. It really seemed like the beers on tap, foosball table tech job fantasy for a few years there.

That's true. But, to the point of eliminating labor -- there's still a human in the loop here.

In fact I would argue that while people were still making capital decisions, the idea of optimizing them is only practical WITH some kind of software / calculator / computer. The tooling I write has added jobs, not eliminated them.

> Look, the only purpose of software is automation and the only purpose of automation is labor elimination

I use software to design algorithms to make capital decisions, where distribution centers and warehouses are built. I am not automating a human job.

Subspace/Continuum also used lag in its gameplay, with players warping to recently exploded spaceships so they could continue to invade. It was an established technique and had to be defended against.

Edit: typo

In America, there are plenty of housed drug addicts. Your question is too simple to represent reality.
