Special shout-out to HN-member, luka! After finding me online, he diligently helped me regain access to my account! As of just now I have logged into my gmail account!
So all's well that ends well. It sure helps to know where to find smart and considerate people that can actually help, like on HN. I don't know what I would've done had I not had that option.
Now I just need to verify myself with my brand new phone which is used and there's no info about the previous owner. So now I'm into chapter 2 of my phone adventure. That's a lot better than it was when I made this post!
As an old curmudgeon I recoil at any service I can't interact with sans-phone. I hardly use mine for anything.
Just be glad your phone number is tied to your account, if you lose the number itself you are royally screwed, and basically anyone who gets your old number owns all your accounts now.
Same, it is kind of strange. Back in 2005 I was one of the first to carry the full internet on my phone and now I am leading the charge to avoid having to carry the internet in my pocket.
If your product or service requires a phone, I just don't do business with you. I know I sound archaic recommending this, but we (as a society) need to push back on your phone being the key to your life.
My phone is no more special than my laptop, however this requires an incredible amount of inconvenience for most people along with the constant social pressure to carry a cellphone. As you can imagine, I do not have many friends these days.
I never understood why people would bring their phones in public. From getting stolen, lost or broken to the tracking and border accessing your social media accounts, personal photos and bank information it makes very little sense when no one actual calls anyone anymore.
> It sounds like you solved the problem of losing access to society by losing access to society.
Perhaps, but frankly I have been more on the lookout for people like me. Natural filter for compatibility?
> Have you considered having backups instead? Carry a physical credit card, make sure you have a backup phone uncharged at home ready for a swap?
I mean, I carry a wallet. Most vendors and society still take cash or card. Where the real friction comes in is staying connected to a community. Everyone wants to keep social connections virtual for some odd reason. As a remote worker I definitely get the virtues of remote interaction, but sometimes meeting people in person has benefits. It does not have to be all-or-nothing and it feels like we are moving to an all-or-nothing digital way of life.
When I dropped my landline after more than 40 years, I transferred the number to a flip phone. This number is also used my family members as a backup phone number for 2FA and voice. Everyone has access to voice mail and can leave messages for others if a phone is lost, broken or stolen.
This site is a lot like how I remember ultimate guitar, being that you can look up tabs and access them. I hope people keep uploading more tabs because ultimate still has a larger volume
I've had some light-sensitivity issues for as long as a remember. So I always get glasses with transitions. On computer though I've always been using flux [0] since it came out. I know that now a lot of OSes are supporting some kind of night mode, but I really like how there are some different parameters you can adjust in flux. And it's free.

I've discovered, for my part, that wearing yellow glasses works even better than f.lux when I'm working in an environment where I can't control the ambient lighting.
I would be interested to test it. Melodyne also supports something like stem splitting where it can work on a master FWIR. But it would be interesting to see how this fares on non-vocal instruments and how the sound is like, even if it only works on isolated tracks.
I'm also wondering if you've considered some music theory functions like for example highlighting the midi grid along to some scale, which would allow "snap to" (next in key note). If you're curious, I have familiarity with this end of things so feel free to pick my brain.
Prose is mostly focused on describing meaning using any words that serve to do so.
Verse is more concerned with structural factors like rhythm, tonality, and structure within syllables, or within types of sound, or parts of speech. Other linguistic devices which look at details beyond the strict meaning of the words, like rhyme or many other factors (you could even use visual spacing for example) can be considered in verse.
Within verse there's the concept of iambs. I think of it as a tuple of two syllables which are said, weak-strong. Pentameter means ten syllables, and iambic means in groups of weak and strong. Most of Shakespeare is written like this. Also English naturally sounds iambic a lot of the time.
Iambic pentameter sounds like this:
I watched a bird attempt its beak upon
The end of fake too-moist baguette in vain
For it was sick of stale McDicks tossed on
It endlessly maintained its rationed pain
While others in its bobbing flock for scraps
Of birds fought for the thrill squawked on and on
Till cannibals among their kind rejoiced
To find cousins in mayonnaise so long
Normally you'd also look at rhyme structure if writing a legit Shakespearean sonnet [2] but I fired this one out as in the style of fast food. So this is technically iambic pentameter but not technically a sonnet.
Or like a particular Shakespearean sonnet [0]. Or like any of them, [1]
Minor nitpick: "pentameter" means 5 parts, and each part is an iamb in iambic pentameter, so it's 5 parts where each part is 2 syllables in a weak-strong pattern. That results in 10 syllables, but "pentameter" doesn't mean 10 syllables alone.
Whereas when played separately it would be an referred to as an arpeggio. But in harmony we might still refer to it as a chord, as in saying, arpeggiate the C# minor (chord) to start moonlight sonata.
This might better be described as arpeggiating C#m second inversion or even C#m/G# in the right over C# in the left...
This is getting possibly-weird but you could call it an arpeggiation of G#sus4(#5)/C#
As per my knowledge, and as per Britannica, a chord actually uses three or more notes. A two note structure is called a diad, which implies a bit of confusion in the term "power chord" (written as 5, as in G5, which == G D == 1 5).. as it is not by definition a chord but a diad.
This may be a pedantic clarification, but that is the definition
TBH "definition" depends on the theory from which you're looking at the notes.
In the eyes of the Common Practice two simultaneous notes are not chords; in rock they most definitely are; in EDM you don't even care, since timbre is all that matters; in jazz you'd say "it depends" (e.g. might even be a triad with an omitted 5th... depending on context!)
