@robmanuel Riffing to find something *slightly* more memorable: Roll 2 dice - if both 6s try again - else if die 1 is a 6, it's a G - else look at die 2's value: 123456 = ABCDEF (Alphabetical 1-6=A-F feels like a quicker mapping in my brain but I'm no musician)

It is possible to make the notes perfectly distributed by making a look-up table for the two throws. Well other than that repeated C with the double six, but that can removed by "throw again". However this route isn't as easy to remember.

Just been puzzling how to roll dice to produce a musical note, given 7 notes in a major scale, you need to roll two dice. The most workable I've come up with is first roll = notes 1 to 6 and second roll, if it's a double, that's then note 7. This slightly favours note 7 but hey.

It's been a while since I got to work with Jared, but when I did every moment was delightful. If you want a smart, thoughtful UX leader or crafter who wants to build the right thing the right way, you'd be hard pressed to do better than him.

Today was my last day at Shopify after four years working on Polaris — going to take a moment and then jump into exploring what's next. So many incredibly thoughtful, talented folks were impacted today, if you're looking or need to fill an open role we've started a resource here

A lot of exceptionally talented folks from the Polaris team are no longer at Shopify today. These people have levelled up crafters, orgs and platforms through our Design System. :legends: @JFann @RaquelDesigns @timlayton Natasha Lloyd, JJ Galipeau, Gui Santos

@philnash @astrodotbuild @typescript If you're going to have lots of yml files then you can instead create a .d.ts file for all yml files. Create a file-types.d.ts somewhere in your tsconfig's includes (project root is probably fine): ``` declare module '*.yml' { const yaml: any; export default yaml; } ```

@philnash @astrodotbuild @typescript Create an appearances.yml.d.ts next to appearances.yml. In it place the following, filling out the Appearances interface as you see fit: ``` interface Appearances {} declare const appearancesYaml: Appearances; export default appearancesYaml; ```

Ok, anyone got any idea how to handle this? I am building my @astrodotbuild site using @typescript. I have some data in a yaml file which I am importing using the yaml plugin. How would I assign types to the data in the yaml file?

Daughter (4) posed this curious riddle... What is a dog with a piano on its back? Sounds like a joke, any idea what the answer is?

I spent some time working with Julia and every moment was a delight. If anybody is hiring in the US for remote Staff eng roles that can transfer a H-1B visa, you should speak to her twitter.com/fleurchild/sta…

Using pruvisto.org/debirdify/ to hunt for folk I follow with Mastodon handles in their bio already and bulk importing them is a pretty seamless experience.

@cboltt Good news: it will be timeboxed Bad news: it's going to take about 6 weeks for the British media to get it out their system
