I tried using scrolling via macOS built-in assistive technology head tracking.

Voluntarily moving the repetitive motion of scrolling from my hands to my neck felt the opposite of ergonomic.

Curious how this is different.

Dactyl Manuform 3x6 for me.

Going to such a different form factor feels enough like relearning to type that I found it also to be a good time to learn a better layout than qwerty.

I use my own layout called hubris:

Seeing all those old icons makes me realize how much I miss them.

Superficial, perhaps, but they were one of the things I loved about OS X when I made the switch back in 2005 or 2006.

Someone should look into the author and/or editor.

Probability seems high they are martians trying to whitewash fictional history.

Is this noticeably different than having your implementation planning phase break a larger task into sub-tasks, and recording the ideal model to use based on scope as part of the task definition?

Certainly, as jokes are by far best when they are explained.

In this context the overall discussion is about pitch in the context of music.

Here the jokester takes advantage of pitch having more than one meaning in English. One of the alternate meanings is to throw.

Next the joke selects a banjo and an accordion, two instruments that are less popular and thus more likely to be understood by the general populace as being disparaged, which is a critical component for the audience to correctly infer the alternate meaning of pitch.

You put it all together and we have this hilarious joke:

A perfect throw is when a banjo is tossed into the garbage and it finds its perfect companion in an accordion that has similarly been discarded to the same trash receptacle.

(Edit: stupid auto-correct)

Are these mutually exclusive?

As someone who enjoys music, from punk to jazz, I wish I could identify a C from a G as easily as I can identify blue from green.

We’re taught to use our eyes to identify colors, why not teach children to use their ears to identify notes?

I guess that’s OK, but I was skateboarding at 19.

Can you even kick flip?

Just to be contrarian, perhaps some measure of risk is reduced by the scale of one.

Identifying a vulnerability that can be exploited against many thousands or millions of targets is perhaps more attractive than a single one of individually low value.

This of course would assume that vulnerabilities are in fact unique (which is admittedly questionable).

In a cool club on the other side of town, where the real cool kids go to sit around and talk bad about the other kids.

Yeah, it's a real cool club and you're not part of it.
