Consider phrasal verbs like "shut up", "get lost" or "kick off". Knowing what the parts mean doesn't let you understand the whole.

In your native tongue you take these for granted, but in a second language you have to learn that the sum is more (or different) than the parts.

Phrasal verbs are listed under the main verb. I never ever had a problem with that. As a native speaker sometimes I still have to search for some in some strange context.

These are called idiomatic phrases, and many (all natural?) languages have them, and, yes, they are pitfalls for language learners.

These particular examples are figures of speech, so "shut" in "shut up" still means the same thing it would mean in "shut the door." And "up" is used the same way as "cover up."

So the issue is just that this is figurative language, and you have to know that a kickoff is the beginning of certain sports, for example. It's more of a cultural issue than something a dictionary needs to fix.

I think this is exactly it. I started getting RSI, spent a little time researching, bought a zsa moonlander and it cured me.

I haven't turned it into a hobby, it's just a tool that solves a problem.

I've been using Firefox on android for over a decade, including for YouTube, and maybe once a year I encounter a problem where I need to use Chrome for a specific website.

Seconded, except instead of once a year it's literally never

We could, instead, simply eat beans.

Why'd y'spill yer beans?

I recommend altSnap to get this functionality on Windows.

I use this all day everyday. Love this, changed how it feels to work with GUIs for me.

Renoise just added support for a programmatic sequence generator called pattrns.

This is actually cool. They have a web playground[0] as well.

Probably not.

By coincidence I just listened to the Decoding the Gurus episode on Sabine https://decoding-the-gurus.captivate.fm/episode/sabine-hosse...

I also just finished a four-and-a-half-hour defence of modern physics by Sean Carroll which has some really good counterarguments in it, as well as a whirlwind history of the last century in physics. https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2023/07/31/245-...

I am conscious of the irony of responding to this post by posting podcasts.

It was specifically Benn Jordan and Venus Theory who cut their ties.

Polarity has never stopped making Bitwig content and I've learned an absolute ton of stuff from him.

Do you know why those two stopped? I know their content a little, but I'm not aware if they had specific reasons to stop talking about bitwig
