I think translation (or rather interpretation) is actually a wonderful use case. My experience with doing simultaneous interpretation for large conferences usually means that the cost of maintaining and providing listening devices is borne by the interpretation company. Providing your own listening device, especially such a high-grade device as what this purports to be, offers an interesting cost reduction and performance improvement.

Hi there. Your page asked to accept cookies twice on Firefox Dev edition.

Well, whose theory? If you wanna see some deep stuff, look no further than Al-Farabi. But if you want more tempered things that feed into the achievement culture, this thread is full of good suggestions. You could also go to a used book store and just read old fake books. They usually had a primer or two as to what's going on.

As for the good Western harmony? I personally just watch Ted Greene geek out on the guitar. You could pick up his book Modern Chord Progressions and try a few of his voicings--they're angelic. Chick Corea and Barry Harris have also published extensively on different aspects of music theory. Both have monster ears and an elegance for explaining. I also dig the whole Almir Chediak "Songbook" series published by Lumiar editions. He's literally the guy that transcribed the book on Brazilian music.

Stephen Feld's explanation of the "lift-up-and-over" prosody of Kaluli weeping ceremonies may, however, just give you a sense of the many beautiful theories of music might you or I learn.

Famed anthropologist James Ferguson wrote a pretty thorough read that breaks down the arguments on both sides that was also reviewed by the Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2015/07/2...

A small point to your otherwise interesting post. Santos Dumont was, in fact, not French, but rather a Brazilian living in France.

Is it to keep the cover from falling in the hole?

I noticed that too, as well as how darn well read Borges is. A true delight of an essay.

I think there's also a lot to be said about having a real score in front of you. I used to sight-read for a living (guitarist on cruise ships) and thought that the first grok of the visual where you take in the form was more important than the up/down of a melody.

By the way, this guy is a monster sight-reader: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZMroQOtS_U

I highly recommend watch Buster Keaton with Philip Glass on as the soundtrack. Fun times.

I currently work more with CSS so I find the debugging tools on both good enough for my purposes. I do know the chrome dev tools and find them to be good, just happen to prefer the FF dev editions ease with layout.

Perhaps the most epic reply I have ever seen on SO.

Boy, I am with you on this one. Full-time FF user too. The whole CSS grid thing is very well done and useful.

A while ago I helped translate an investigative journal piece on the labor practices of this company's supply chain. It left me feeling ill for quite a while.
