And I still sit here using a BASIC dialect for Android apps and Win software.

I know, I know but never could make the transition.


Nothing wrong with using BASIC.

Programming language chauvinism is dumb.


I bet there are some people that see this as a feature.


So it's like Gilfoyle's anton but it only deletes stale code


Exciting times. I appreciate the team's work on creating such high quality software. It doesn't feel like some random open source software. But it's always a work in progress, at the same time.


Every application is a work in progress. They either improve continuously or in point releases, step by step.

We were using musescore for our sheet music while I was playing in a symphony orchestra and, it was very capable back then. It was missing some very niche things (like Turkish Music Coma notation which divides a note to 9!) but, it was vastly usable.

I'm glad they didn't stop and moving forward. It's a very nice piece of software.


Your approach towards the situation might determine the life quality of you and your wife. I can't imagine how it's like to think in a logic way while you're in the middle of such of an emotional event.


I never liked linkedin. There's is a strange 'race' of getting 500+ connections, even if you're not connected at all to them


I remember back then the atmosphere was of extreme politeness... crazy how times have changed


This kind of publicity is good for tourism . I guess when the pandemic is over tourists will be rushing to Singapore with a vengeance.


I see some huge changes there, including the error messages!


I find this video quite interesting.

I had no idea how Cesium clocks work, other than the SI definition of a second is 9xxxx transitions between two states of a cesium atom.


"Transition frequency" seems to be a common source of confusion here. In the context of the SI definition it means "frequency corresponding to the energy difference between the two states". This is the frequency of radiation that can _most efficiently_ drive transitions between the states. How fast the atom transitions between the states depends on the frequency, polarization, and power of the driving radiation and can in principle take any value. To avoid confusion this is called the "Rabi frequency" in atomic physics.
