There's way more people using chrome (right now) than this new browser.

I run https://getloaf.io/ an app which lets you customise SVG animations that are built into the app. Constantly plugging away for 4ish years now!

ChatGPT response: Infinity is not considered an odd or even number. In mathematics, odd and even are properties of integers, which are finite numbers. Infinity, on the other hand, is not a number in the usual sense. It is a concept that represents an unbounded or limitless quantity. Therefore, the concepts of odd and even do not apply to infinity.

My side project! After an unplanned hiatus (I guess everything comes and go in waves) I want to be more regimented and systematic about improving it over time.

Yes and no. Losing the "Oh, I heard you playing a new song" is a priceless dinner conversation that can encourage a child's burgeoning passion.

Experience: A piano doesn't have an on/off switch. It can't be anything but a piano. Electronic pianos can be guitars, drum-kits, or entire orchestras! It can feel more like a toy than an instrument, especially for younger children. So right off the bat, a piano will give you or your children focus when they sit on the piano stool.

Sound: a hammer hitting real strings vs a speaker replicating the sound. If a speaker gets dust in it or becomes damaged in some way, the sound is greatly diminished. Also, pianos are made of wood which vibrates. The strings at the higher end which aren't dampened vibrate. If I sneeze loud enough, the piano in my room sometimes hums with vibration. It's a living thing.

Yes, pianos need to be tuned and electronic pianos don't... but if you or your child is actually taking lessons and practising, you want a piano. Your technique, I think, will be much better if you learn on a piano with real hammer action vs an electronic piano.

I think the trick to buying a piano is taking your time and only buying the one that sounds right to you. Some people like a more warm, mellow tone. Other people like more brightness and brilliance. The "family" piano we have was purchased 20 years ago and it's a standard upright piano. It's absolutely rock solid, still sounds beautiful.

Why is this such big news? No-one I know uses Edge as their daily browser. Based on the Google Analytics data of the various apps I work on, the usage for Edge is so small that it is basically irrelevant. If we are concerned about a lack of browser diversity, why weren't more people using Edge to being with? Or is it all the people who are now chanting "Use Firefox" are the ones who used Edge and feel cheated somehow?
