People with deep knowledge of string instruments and/or shell languages are rapidly approaching your location.
The violin part kinda checks out tbh. It's like saying a saxophone is basically a shiny clarinet. It's musician ragebait but it's not entirely false.
At the end of the day, every instrument is just a mechanical-to-acoustic transducer with a resonating body to selectively amplify the desired notes and harmonics. The real question is whether a jackdaw qualifies as a sandwich.
This definition wouldn't apply to harmonicas nor digital keyboards, nor bagpipes arguably.
Both harmonicas and bagpipes produce sound by passing air over one or multiple reeds (tuned to resonate at specific fundamental frequencies), inducing oscillations in the reeds, which modulate the air flow. Bagpipes use pipes to amplify the sound, and harmonicas use the cavity between the reed plate and the body, and often the player's hand.
A digital keyboard that doesn't produce sound is just a fancy human interface device.
I just use fish, I never really had the need for ultra-customization. But I do admire stuff from places like !unixporn@lemmy.world.
I use nushell, returning to a normal shell is starting to feel weird ngl
Just say "shell scripting".
zsh autocomplete and color defaults were presumably set up by an lsd fan
I once had the misfortune of having to read zsh source code....
In unrelated news I no longer use zsh.
it’s all just regex, isn’t it
It’s true that there is a very large transfer between violin and viola, but just the experience of playing multiple instruments, even if this similar, increases one’s value by a lot. Depending on the situation wherever you happen to be, demand for violists can be much greater than for violinists, so playing both rather than the violin alone is a big boost.
Oh absolutely. I'm a full time musician and the only way I've been able to do that is play 23 different instruments. Being good enough to play in a group is all you need- you get good really quick when money is on the line.
But... they literally used that post to tell people they play both the violin and the viola...
I'm more fluent with fish.
Okay, Aquaman.
Technically a viola is actually a mini cello. I hope his knowledge of bash & zsh is better than his knowledge of musical instruments lol
one man's small cello is another man's big violin
Dude, people still think vi is important skills. I know 'ed', so the rest is just a waste.
For that matter, just use cat, and be free of vietnam-era cult shit.
