HOPE IS DOPE. I'm excited it's back in Manhattan. RIP Hotel Penn

Maybe not the most flattering story about Sonny Rollins but, it was funny and one of the more notable storires told to us at Hartt by Jackie McLean: Jackie was coming home to NYC early AM with Sonny in Sonny's car - I forget the model, but it was referred to as "The Blue Demon" in this story. As they're getting close to the city, maybe crossing the GW, Sonny asks Jackie, "who is better, me or Trane?" Jackie feeling very put on the spot starts trying to find a way out without hurting Sonny's feelings says something like, "Aw man, it's not like that. You can't compare you guys.". At this point Sonny abruptly stops the car and says, "Get out." Jackie had to find the rest of his way home. Maybe KD in DB can corroborate, pretty sure he's on here too.

Exactly, building in areas where people want to live and work are exactly what these strategies are designed for. You can't ignore the competing interests in these areas and reduce the argument to "build more".

I built an acrylic shelf that could swing out over my head in bed. I would only have to slide the book out to turn pages. Acrylic was probably 12mm thick. Worked great.

I'd argue that Jell-o tastes good because sugar tastes good and that it's just the novel texture coupled with sweetness that is the attraction. I doubt many people know what unsweetened gelatin tastes like or if that even tastes good.

I am a bass player sir.

My joke has more to do with the fact that bass players tend to feel unappreciated when the audience talks during their solo. Bass solos are always quieter so, there's some sort of bias there I'm sure.

Recently at a jazz club a bass player friend of mine who graduated from the same music school as me found ourselves talking through the bass solo from the act on stage. "Oh man, we're doing it now." Lol

A married couple hasn't spoken to each other in 10 years. Their daughter seeks out the best marriage counselor she can find and gets her parents to agree to go to a session.

After their first visit the daughter follows up with the therapist and asks if he could get them to talk to each other. "Not this time, but we have another appointment next week. I'll take another crack at it."

The parents show up to their next appointment. The therapist is trying everything he can think of to get them to speak to each other. Because he has a reputation to uphold he's getting a little worried. He tells the daughter, "We've got another appointment next week and I've got one last thing I can try."

When the married couple steps into the therapist's office, therapist doesn't say a word but pulls out an upright bass out of his closet and starts playing a solo. They immediately start talking.

Also, it wasn't immediately obvious that you only get the feedback after a valid checkmate.

Fun puzzle! Fyi, does not play well with Brave - experimantal dark mode.

But I think that's probably true of a lot of chess sites. I sort of feel like sites should have a way of flagging themselves as already in dark mode, so that they can be ignored by any dark mode extensions.

Everyone knows that if you encounter an R.O.U.S, You're supposed to retreat into the fire swamp.

Isn't that what science is? Our understanding changes all the time based on new experiments. "Settled science" isn't a thing imho.

It's not freely available, it's for sale. And just because private data is for sale does make it public.

My life has improved substantially since I made this my notification sound.

In case anyone else finds this helpful: I found my phone was still making the occasional pocket dial emergency call even after disabling the five power button press shortcut. A combination of features and scenarios led to the calls: using fingerprint login - which if you swipe and decide to use a manual login entry reveals an emergency call button. Double tap screen to wake, is the feature that turns the screen on in your pocket. Disabling this has ended all accidental emergency calls thus far for me.

I can very much relate to how you feel about the flow of fixing bugs. Have you considered finding bugs? There's already a thriving freelance ecosystem around that. Hacker one / bug crowd etc. Once you report them you may be able to suggest ways for companies to fix the bugs and possibly get hired as a contractor to that end.

Very cool! Like a 2D Rubick's cube.

Fyi, on mobile Firefox/ Android, the address bar obscures part of the legend.

Check out MQTT and Adafruit.io in particular. The cool thing about MQTT is that your device is reachable behind NAT. I'm doing pretty much exactly what you describe here with this IOT-lamp project.

I set up a 'util' feed for system commands and have implemented a shutdown routine so far. I send my lamp commands with Google Assistant through IFTTT.
