Schoenberg: Drei Klavierstücke, Op. 11 (Pollini)

QRCode

These wonderful little pieces are works that you (probably) have to learn to love, but which can be loved nonetheless -- and it certainly helps that Pollini plays them with intimacy and expressiveness. Though atonal, these pieces are nonetheless thinly swathed in the last vestiges of classical form and harmony: you can glimpse shades of lyrical melody, chordal accompaniments, ABA structure in the first piece, expressive appoggiaturas, pedal tones, and so on. Formally speaking there's a vast (unimaginably vast) number of things that can be said about these three pieces, standing as they are at the very threshold of full-blooded modern serial atonality, but that's not in fact that helpful if you want to just enjoy listening to these. So instead I suggest several ways of listening to these:

  1. Three tableaux: a silent evening in a house soon to be demolished, a funeral, a fire swallowing a factory.
  2. Five paintings: Picasso's The Blue Room, Francis Bacon's Head I / Böcklin's Isle of the Dead, Munch's The Scream / Kandinsky's Composition VII
  3. Three preludes: a nocturne out of late Liszt, a Brahmsian intermezzo/lament, a piece out of Schumann's Kriesleriana.
  4. Three myths: Sisyphus, Dante, Zeus and Leda.
  5. Music for films from the black-and-white era. Imagine whatever you choose.

Stephanie Eckles - Scaling CSS Layout Beyond Pixels

QRCode

Responsive designs being created today have to serve more users on more devices and with more varied abilities and preferences than ever before. And size and spacing of elements can quite literally make or break your layout. In this new world, strict pixel values are so Web 2.0. Let’s review modern CSS techniques for building future-forward flexibility into our layouts and components.

Semver: A Primer - NodeSource

QRCode

Semver: A Primer

Prefixing a single semver version string with the ^ character defines a range of acceptable versions that include all patch and minor versions from the ones specified up to, but not including, the next version. So "^1.2.3" can be approximately expanded as ">=1.2.3 <2.0.0".

Unlike ~, the ^ operator with a major version of 0 is essentially a no-op, in that it translates to exactly that version rather than a full range. So "^0.2.3" is equal to just "0.2.3" and no more.

Perl Advent Calendar 2014 - PSGI, Enabling Modern Web Technology in Perl

QRCode

In recent years we've seen an explosion of powerful web technologies in Perl not at the least due to the creation of the PSGI specification.

Plack provides the Plack::Middleware class that makes the process of modifying the response easier, and along with Plack::Util helps us deal with the slightly more complex cases where there's a callback for a response from our inner class:

Plack::Test

Another great thing about abstracting away the actual webserver that our PSGI application is talking to is that we don't actually have to have a real webserver at the outer layer at all! If we just want to test our application we can do this in process by just sending input to the anonymous subroutine and examining the return values.

Issue #227 - Rule of Thirds, Brand Extensions & Power Lead

QRCode

When you're chasing a big goal, you're supposed to feel good a third of the time, okay a third of the time, and crappy a third of the time. If the ratio is off and you feel good all the time, then you're not pushing yourself enough. Likewise, if you feel bad all the time, then you might be fatigued and need to dial things back.

Learning the Rule of Thirds was life-changing for me as a person in general, because it made me believe in the days that didn't feel great. In fact, I relished them.
