You need a webring 17 days ago

I followed the web ring on the home page and the first person didn't continue the ring (they had no link to next) and the second webring only contained one other site. Pretty disappointing introduction to something I "need".

This tech isn't going away anytime soon. It might become prohibitively expensive for individuals but it's here to stay. It's worth trying to find a use for it while it's cheap.

It doesn't take long to type your address. Plus password managers or keyboards often auto fill it. It's not that deep.

I can't imagine a world where a p2p social network is practical. Not when each node is an unreliable mobile phone that's maybe on cellular. Even with something like ipfs you have pinning services, bittorrent has seed boxes, because pure p2p is impractical.

Browsers break backwards compatibility for security all the time. Most recently Chrome made accessing devices on a local network require a permission. They completely changed the behavior of cookies. They break loads of things for cross origin isolation.

Curl just downloads the http response and prints it to the terminal. The sever streams the response and yields a frame of the video every 70ms or so. It sends control characters in the response to clear the terminal and change the color.

Do you believe in gambling addiction? Behavioral addictions are medically recognized. No need to be so pedantic.

Towards the end the disk I was looking at would change color and become brighter than the others. I didn't notice until I focused on each one at a time and the "different" one became the one I was looking at.

Does this take into account capo position? A G is easy to play so authors might use G to play a Bb for example with a capo to avoid barre chords. Likewise authors will choose simpler chord substitutes to make it easier to play.

It's the same with lead sheets / the real book style music books. Performing musicians need to reproduce music quickly so only the triad will be written down even if the musician ends up playing some other extensions.

The data is heavily biased towards simplicity. You can make conclusions about the data - but not music as a whole.

I got an x220 jumping onto the hype but it was too small and too slow to use. Even though I'd maxed out the RAM, replaced the solder paste and was running a lightweight i3 environment.

I've only ever personally owned second hand Thinkpads and they're so great. But you should get the newest, reasonably priced one you can. There are so many affordable T480s/T470s out there or even the newer T14 models. They're still very serviceable and many still allow expansion with unsoldered RAM.
