If you are a smart kid in europe learn to vibecode XChacha20 & ed25519 encryption keys for you and your friends to chat with so you can go tell your incompetent government to go fuck themselves.

Thanks for the feedback. I know the UI is not as intuitive as I'd like it to be for first time users. Multiple early users have told me that they expected it to either listen to them play or play back some audio. I am planning to record a small videos soon to clarify this.

> IMO the app would be cooler if it was simply the metronome app on a page. And if you want to track which song you are working on, then just add the ability to label a session. Could have a different mode for people who want it over videos, but usually when I'm practicing, I know the tab and am not watching a video while I practice.

The tab is mainly for (1) future reference, specially if you are creating your own exercises (2) sharing them with others. Sometimes I come up with short exercises myself that cover a specific technique or some picking pattern I am struggling with. Overtime I tend to forget those. In an earlier version, you could either add a tab or embed a video. But then I thought why not both! Feedback taken though, it should be fairly easy to make the tab/video section collapsible. Ability to label sessions in also on the roadmap.

Nice yeah, a video would be great! Good work either way :D

It took me about 5 minutes to understand what this is doing.

For anyone else confused, it doesn't listen to you play, it just logs your use of the metronome and provides tabs.

Is there a "sweet spot" for asteroids where they don't impact the earth, but come within like 20 meters of it?

Like is it possible for an asteroid to give a city a "buzz cut" and then continue on into outer space?

A bit of a tangent, but I've been shopping around for the best code based CAD software. I gave cad query a shot and had a few issues. Any recommendations? My use case is 3D printing.

Fivetran works perfectly fine for syncing Postgres databases into Snowflake. My company syncs dozens of them without problems. I can only assume their Postgres database has a non standard set up.

Yeah, if you have 1 million dollars to spend every time you run a data migration or anything else that touches many rows.

I've seen some new libraries crop up for writing your own replication slot clients. I wouldn't use fivetran for PG.

Either you have a lot of data and fivetran will be too expensive or you don't, and you're better off just using a postgres OLAP plugin/extension.

Maybe it was because it was in beta, but I had a nightmare of a time with fivetrans API trying to coordinate connectors and destinations and git access.
