Yeah, a classical guitar fretboard is a lot wider. It makes complex chord fingerings easier. I suppose a lot depends on how easily you can switch back and forth between a wide neck and the narrower el…

Or just use a nylon string, classical style or "Spanish" guitar for practice, even if you play something else in public. Nylon string guitars are easier on your fretting hand and allow you t…

I came here to say something similar to this. The action on most electric guitars (assuming they're set up properly) is a lot more forgiving for beginners than steel-string acoustics which are of…

That is great to hear. Notation is essential, especially for musicians coming to the guitar from another instrument.

Yes, I think this confuses modern Linux users because bash is the default on most Linux server and desktop installs. So they end up thinking zsh is "new" because it's an additional pack…

Especially when you consider that it's gotten to the point where at many schools with the worst and most extreme administrative bloat, there is one non-teaching, bureaucratic administrator for ev…

The first time I heard this Neil Cicierega mashup, I thought it was genius and still do: https://youtu.be/UwHlEBlWT-4?si=8PMgA_5f9dvZiZC4 …

I find that people tend to overestimate how long it takes to install Arch just because it doesn't have an installer by default. I've seen people with very little Linux experience get it up a…

I like Unbranded a lot, but I wish they sold their jeans with an inseam shorter than 34"...I don't like rolling mine up.

You can buy TCB right off Shopify via the link above.

It does, thanks! I know what I like, but at the same time I know very little about the Japanese selvedge denim scene. I'm fascinated by how Japan successfully copies and, in many ways improves up…

Every social media platform is, to some degree, an echo chamber. See Bluesky or Mastodon.

That is a good question. I like my dock uncluttered. I have it placed vertically on the left side, with only the apps I use every single day: Alacritty, Brave, Cursor, and Zoom. With Finder and Launch…

What are some good, high-quality alternatives for someone who is a fan of the original Levi's 501 (button fly) jeans?

Sabine is very, very German!

Spotlight was bad back in the day, so I installed Alfred and started using that. Then Spotlight suddenly improved a lot, enough that it was usable for me, and I deleted Alfred. Then about five years a…

At one point a few years ago, Spotlight improved enough that I could use it instead of relying on Alfred. So I deleted Alfred, and whaddaya know...a few years later Spotlight got worse and worse, maki…

65 points, 164 comments...then flagged. I dunno, HN. I think you are losing the plot.

Anybody here remember calling Dial-A-Song back in the day?

Yeah, I really do think "edutainment" is the correct classification for this type of content. A lot of tech influencers have figured out the formula for success on YouTube. In order to hit t…

The point is, you can replace "Cursor" with "hot new dev toy" and it's exactly how his channel functions.

Yeah, I dig what Casey is doing. Subscribe to him instead of these other clowns. I like how his stuff isn't glossy or overproduced—he just gets down to the content.

There's no doubt the Primeagen has a popular channel (459K subs at last count), but his videos are super annoying to me. Many of them are just him reading a blog post and adding some light clowni…

Some general feedback after trying it briefly a few minutes ago: I suppose I'm slightly more geographically aware than average, but certainly by no means that good at geoguesser type games in the…

I don't make any claims as to the level of his involvement, but the bad stuff happened both before and after his departure. Many of the moderation decisions discussed in the Twitter Files took pl…
