Tim Cook is a perfect example of catastrophic reputational negligence (at best), if not outright moral capitulation. A guy who would've gone first ballot to the American Executive Hall of Fame, just completely bricked the easy leadership alley oop our times threw him.

Because you’re the student, kid. Same reason you don’t always use a calculator for math.

Then there’s the rare kid who knew the difference between a tigon and a liger, and knew the latter was bred for its skills in magic.

You have awakened neurons that haven’t fired since me early years

That he weakened the United States and its alliances is exactly what he wants his legacy to be. It’s not an own-goal. It’s a win for his next performance review.

“You can tell we’re serious about challenging this unconstitutional violation of international law by the fact that we’re threading it in between these nonconsensual sexualized images of naked children.” You’ve got to be kidding me. Hold your press conference on Epstein’s jet, I guess!

If I can muster the discipline to pinch off an MVP I might release it some day. I've never blogged about it. This thread is now the most I've talked about it.

What broke me out of that yak shaving was stumbling upon Tom Glazebrook's "Metaharmony", a shockingly powerful analogy between the RYB color model and harmonic function. I'm surprised music theory nerds on the internet don't talk about it constantly. I thought it might make a compelling UI.

As a side quest, I created an engine that could produce a lot of the crazy metrics you can see on Ian Ring's A Study Of Scales website, because of course I thought that would be slick to have immediate access to in an inspector sidebar.

I had just taken on practicing triads on specific string sets on guitar, and I wanted to generalize that to any trichord in the context of any scale. I wanted to be able to select any arbitrary pitch class set and see the available subsets within it, select some to lay them out on the fretboard.

The vision is very similar to yours and I may not have started it had I known about Guitar Dashboard. I wanted to bring various visualizations (chromatic bracelet, circle of fifths, tonnetz, fretboard, voice leading spaces...) together as live widgets that respond to shared state, albeit in SwiftUI.
