I keep hitting the start button -- which switches to a different melody -- when I want to hit the listen button -- which re-plays the current melody.

I feel like "listen" should be the first, more prominent button and "start" should be moved to the end and renamed to something more meaningful like "ahh shit, give me a different one"

other than that, cool.


I'm not the target demographic, but this seems like a step backwards.

Like, once upon a time maybe you gave your jr programmer a list of things to do, and depending on their skill, familiarity with the cli, hangover status, spelling abilities, etc, you'll get different results. So you write a deterministic shell script.


I know there are two polarized camps on the topic of AI coding. Even for people who are concerned about it and prefer to use traditional scripting, there are some benefits worth considering in having runnable, composable prompt modules.

There are some tasks that are challenging to achieve with traditional code, but where modern LLMs perform strongly.

Examples include summarization, complex content formatting and restructuring, natural language classification, and evaluation judgements.

I’ve found that it is useful to be able to easily incorporate these along with traditional Shell scripts and command line tools as part of workflow pipelines. And I hope it can be useful for other people too.


Having played with this a couple days:

1. there's no need for the welcome pop-up every time.

2. the player timing is not good. Are you randomizing durations as a stylistic choice to sound like a first day piano player? it frequently runs together 3 or 4 notes 1/32nds so i have to play it 3 or 4 times to hear the notes with something approximating an appropriate duration.

3. when making a mistake - if you're playing on a keyboard, i can see value on starting over from the beginning. but if you're clicking on the mouse, it's kind of pointless.


As of emacs 31.1, xterm-mouse-mode is default where supported.

$2,500 cars? $10,000 houses? I found the time traveler from 1960!

Houses are also put into revocable living trust to avoid probate when kicking the bucket.

Back in the time of 3.5" demo disks, I know one group that filled up their disk image with random numbers so it wouldn't compress so it would look bigger and more impressive in file listings.

Cuba is better location for a Trump beachside hotel and casino than, say, Gaza.

Alternate approach: Delete the app. Use safari to replace the app icon on your home screen with a website. That website is goatse.

Chevron is already involved.

But will they not be able to expand their operation significantly now? And I assume they will keep donating a lot of money to the GOP. And there will be other companies getting involved for all the minerals Venezuela has in addition to the oil.
