There's also a Youtuber who did this type of journey from San Francisco to Seattle (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OQwA95sMbg) and to Los Angeles (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-Jdfkuy9Ik).

> Something that surprised me is that [1] is of a minor key, but the solfege marks are for the relative major

Major and minor keys use the same shapes / solfege system. The major scale is "fa, so, la, fa, so, la, mi, fa", while the minor scale uses the same syllables but starts on la. This means that the shapes always represent the same intervals (i.e. pattern of whole and half steps) whether a song is in a major or minor. It's hard to describe but makes sense when singing.

One limitation is that the shapes are really only useful for singing, not for instrumental music. They also would not be meaningful for music that switches keys or that isn't tonal (i.e. isn't in a particular key at all). So they are a very good fit for what you might think of as "church music" (at least written before the 20th century), but for other settings they would be either meaningless or a hindrance.

That's one reason shape notation never caught on; another reason is that the notation was introduced by publishers of American sacred music and not by, say, music conservatories.

Is it possible that many of those uses predate the current zoning? There are numerous buildings in Chicago that would not be permitted by their current zoning.

I asked imagen 2 to generate a transparent product icon image, and it generated an actual grey and white square pattern as the background of the image... https://imgur.com/a/KA2yWHp

Extremely useful .gitconfig snippet:

  [alias]
   git = !sl

catches e.g. `git git status`, which I run shockingly often.

That was the case many years ago (extremely customized perforce server), but after that there was a full rewrite as a distributed system built on Bigtable etc. - https://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2016/7/204032-why-google-stor... is an overview. It wasn't a ship-of-Theseus type situation where they incrementally replaced components.

You're comparing regional rail terminal stations, which serve many lower-frequency lines, to subway platforms, which typically serve a single higher-frequency line. (2-10 minutes between trains.) That's the scenario where a mezzanine is less useful.

I completely agree with the more general point, that consuming external data requires a validation layer. But oh boy do I have feelings about class-validator.

Here's what it looks like to correctly annotate an array of objects with with class-validator and json-schema annotations:

  @ApiProperty({ type: Foo, isArray: true })
  @ValidateNested({ each: true })
  @Type(() => Foo)
  @IsArray()
  items: Foo[];

It's not just that you have to define everything in triplicate, it's that the failure mode for forgetting any of the above is to silently not validate your data. Unless you're very careful, you don't get the safety benefits that were the whole point of using class-validator in the first place.

If I were starting from scratch, I would instead consider either io-ts or a solution that involves a code generation step, where this entire category of risk is avoided.

The alternative would be to write a side effect inside your `render()` function, which is illegal -- it breaks the new Concurrent mode rendering, which can call render() speculatively.

I mean, I see why it's intuitively unappealing to you, but there are perfectly good reasons for the design.

That is very good to hear. I've used Emacs for a decade, but I recently switched to VS Code because JSX support in Emacs was such a mess.

That's great as long as the insurance company deigns to cover you. Before the ACA, that was not guaranteed.

For instance, the polonaise attributed to Kosciuszko might have been composed by someone else. Wikipedia reports the composition as fact, but https://polishmusic.usc.edu/research/dances/polonaise/ suggests otherwise.

lit-html is context-aware and safe, just like JSX. It's not a raw string templating library.

+1 to freetaxusa. I started using them a decade ago when I first had to file taxes, and I've been pleasantly surprised that they have remained a good choice this whole time. The product doesn't even feel like it has changed much (other than the never-ending tax law changes) over the years, which is a rarity for web-based products. It just does what it needs to do.

Eb is probably disproportionately popular due to the common practice of tuning guitars down a half step, making Eb instead of E the natural/easy root chord.

I'm not sure why F would be more popular than D and A. One hypothesis would be that it has fewer accidentals; it's not a fun key for guitars, but many contemporary pop songs aren't guitar-driven anyway.
