Let’s take a look…

Most common	C	C♯	D	E♭	E	F	F♯	G	G♯	A	B♭	B	C
Less common	C♮	D♭	D♮	D♯	E♮	F♮	G♭	G♮	A♭	A♮	A♯	B♮	C♮
Rare	B♯	B♯♯	E♭♭	F♭♭	F♭	E♯	E♯♯	F♯♯		B♭♭	C♭♭	A♯♯	B♯
Hungarian	C	C♯	D	E♭	E	F	F♯	G	G♯	A	B	H	C

Depending on a note’s role in a scale, it may be written weirdly. For example, you rarely would refer to a B♯ on its own, but it’s the third degree of the G♯ major scale.

This is documented, I just missed it. https://kit.svelte.dev/docs/adapter-node#environment-variables-bodysizelimit

BODY_SIZE_LIMIT=100000000 will fix it for you (obviously set this to whatever you fancy. Integer numbers of bytes work, string representations of human readable file sizes such as 100mb do not seem to).

And given that it doesn't integrate with Last.fm, it's a bit of a pain.

Problem statement: I want to have a list of all the music I've listened to on Apple Music.

Challenges

1. I listen to Apple Music on my iPhone, my iPad, my personal MacBook (using the Music app exclusively), my work MacBook (using the Music app), and my work Windows laptop (using the Apple Music web interface).
2. Apple Music does not offer (or at least, not in a way that I've found) the possibility to get the last played date of a track which is not in your library.
3. Apple Music doesn't integrate with tools like Last.fm to be able to 'scrobble' listens in realtime (and further, Last.fm is blocked on my work computers).
4. Spotify also is blocked on my work computers, so that's not a solution either

Although it should be noted that that's based on data from 2020 as circulation numbers are not being reported by The Times and several other newspapers since then.

This adds to the similarities between SIDS and SUDEP. https://www.neurology.org/doi/10.1212/WNL.0000000000208038

They also have some patents such as a rubber gasket on the back of the pods and a paper liner to distribute the water which make it difficult for third party pods to extract as evenly and as successfully.

It turns out this was because during the ice age a permafrost layer locked iodine under the ice. This discovery ultimately led to iodising salt.

He did it (unsurprisingly) by dividing people. In Hungary, demonising Soros was his idea.

Some of the screws broke so now Nasa are making new screwdrivers to open the container.

When you are arguing, building a 'straw man' is a cheap way of attacking an opponent by misconstruing their argument and destroying the 'straw man' rather than the real argument. For example, if the opposing view is something like 'I am against animal testing', the straw man argument might see a response like 'so you would prefer us to use untested drugs on people?'

The concept of 'steelmanning' is the opposite. Instead of trying to construct a weak version of your opponent's position to tear apart, build the strongest possible version of their point and then consider it based on its merits. For example, you might choose to interpret 'I am against animal testing' as 'I believe that we can avoid using animals to test cosmetics'. You can then review this with your opponent and see if this point can be supported or refuted.

There's a lot of interesting stuff in this article.

This was an interesting read but very long and dry. The key take away for me on this I think is that given how thorough this review was and how many minor issues it found in a process as subject to scrutiny as aviation safety, it seems as though similar problems must be hiding everywhere.

This observation suggests that the cognitive difficulties—in particularly, memory deficits—experienced by individuals with epilepsy may be attributed, in part, to the brief impairments induced by these slow waves.

Safari uses video/mp4, which other browsers can't record to.

Like here, where machine learning models are being gathered together like animals in a zoo. I’ve actually started a novel about AI, this idea of “model zoos” will for sure make an appearance.

It's the biggest and most distant thing you can see with the naked eye. It's 152 000 light years across, and about 2.5 million light years away from Earth. That's a bit surprising because it means it's only 16 times further away from us than its own diameter.
