Incorrect. The major scale intervals are whole-whole-half-whole-whole-whole-half, so no, you do not "simply add 2 to each note".

That doesn't highlight anything except the tautology that music theory isn't taught in general education

There is no "objective" foundation to music.

Mapping twelve letters onto a piano keyboard would then look something like this:

     B D  G I K
    A C EF H J LA
Which means an A major scale in this notation would be ACEFHJLA, which is actually less intuitive than understanding the circle of fifths etc. and arriving at ABC#DEF#G#A (to use this universe's notation)

If I do not have a friend who's into fly fishing, or if I need an answer quickly, am I...just out of luck?

I know, right? The author clearly wants you to starve to death for the lack of a friend to teach you to fish

Come on, I use widgets all the time! There's the weather one, and the Google search one at the bottom that I can't remove!

It can make widgets though! Imagine being able to track a flight, which is so difficult currently!

CTRL+F hijacking is necessary in some cases when apps are not displaying the full text that the user would expect to search. E.g. when there's a 10K-line code file and the UI is not loading the whole thing into DOM, but the user would expect a "find" to search that whole code file.

Really wish this was applied to phone apps. In Android at least, app A linking to app B will FREQUENTLY break the "back" functionality, allowing app B to handle the "back" action instead of doing what every user would expect 100% of the time, which is to go back to app A.
