Mmmm. Not quite sure yet I want to go to another proprietary option, but other than that, looks like a better solution than Acrobat, indeed.

- does not try to 'fix' or 'improve' my handwritten notes but keeps everything as drawn
- has an eraser function for these notes
- lets me keep the tablet unlocked while active

?

If you do, I'll owe you a favour.

Thanks!

- It doesn't do the thing that allows an Android app to keep the screen on, resulting in my tablet more often than not switching off in the middle of a song, resulting in me being panicked while I quickly enter the pin code to unlock it again.

So.

Does anyone know of a PDF reader app for Android (preferably available through F-Droid) that:
- lets me read my scores
- lets me take notes on said scores

- It allows me to squiggle notes on the page, but it tries to 'improve' the notes and markings that I draw on the page with my stylus, making the handwritten notes unreadable (e.g., by turning what was meant to be a quickly written 3 into a reverse C, because you clearly didn't want to have that extra curve in there 🙄)
- it doesn't provide an eraser, requiring me to remove a whole marking and redraw the bits that I did still need

I've been using Acrobat reader on my Android tablet to read choir scores during rehearsals and concerts for the past few months.

It works okayish, but Acrobat being the proprietary shit that it is, not great.
- It constantly tries to upsell me to their propriety cloud service (f*** off);
- it has various buttons in the interface (such as the blasted 'liquid mode') that I keep accidentally tripping while trying to sing which changes the way page changes work;

To be fair, to this European who's lived in a welfare state for the first 4 decades of his life rather than the church of capital that the US is,

We already do that.

That today's models are built in expensive data centres does not imply the same for all future models. Tech gets better, not worse, so eventually we'll do it on affordable hardware, Moore's law or not.

Also, free software lives on collaboration. Build a BOINC app to build a free model, wouldn't take as much time as that.

So I use filesystem snapshots to deal with the first, and a bacula-based backup that writes (encrypted) to AWS storage gateway for the second.

@NanoRaptor
You need multiple types of backup, too.

One of for the 'oh shit I deleted that file but I actually still need it' situation. The ideal setup for that is that it happens automatically multiple times per day and is low friction to restore from.

One for the 'I lost everything' situation (fire, theft, ransomware, etc). For that you need off site backups that are not connected to your main infra. This conflicts with the requirements for the other type.

@cwebber
No, that would be free software.

Open source is a strategem to make free software not as unappealing to for-profit organisations as it otherwise would have been.

I guess that worked too well.

Eh.

Assuming 70 BPM, which Wikipedia suggests is the average for the human heart,

70 beats per minute times 60 minutes per hour times 24 hours per day times 365.25 days per year times 85 years = 3.129.462.000 beats in 85 years.

That's all I know 🤷

Dat is boekhoudkundig dan ook moeilijk om te corrigeren.

Voor een foute factuur kan je een creditnota uitschrijven.

Voor een foute creditnota kan je eventueel terug een factuur uitschrijven, maar een factuur zonder geleverde diensten of goederen uitschrijven zorgt voor allerlei alarmbellen.

TIL: in rxvt-unicode, holding meta ("alt") while middle-clicking copies from the CLIPBOARD buffer rather than from PRIMARY, which is awesome!

IOW, having part of your language that can't be dynamically linked doesn't mean that's true for all of it, nor that there is no benefit at all.

I don't know though about rust to have a meaningful discussion about its ability to benefit from dynamic linking but if it relies on code generation to a large extent then yes obviously it becomes complicated.

@kornel
Oh, I see now what you mean.

Yes, if you want to do any type of code generation, be that C++ templating, C preprocessor macros, or eval-type stuff in scripting languages, you can't do dynamic libraries for those parts of your language. In C++, the STL is typically header-only for that reason, but C++ still has a substantial standard library that is dynamic.
