The phrase you are being nudged towards is “false positive”.

…Yes, if you go back and read my fist post, you will find that I, too, refer to tabs as notation, and say: “it’s a customary txt-format notation”. And if you go to the wiki article you linked and read the sentence after the one you pasted, you’ll find it says :“ASCII tab is intended to be a human-readable format rather than machine-readable, and hence is not strictly defined.”.

Wanna see another musical notation method that doesn’t actually notate music?

+5 -6 -7 +7 -6 +5 -6 -7 +7 -6 
+5 -6 -7 +7 -7 -6 +7 -7 -6 +8 +8 +8 
+8 -8 +8 -9 -9 -9 +8 -8 -9 +8 
-8 +7 -7 +8 +7 -7 -6 

That’s a harmonica tab - the number is the hole, the sign is inhale-exhale, but to actually play the song, you need to already know the tune to Bella Ciao.

Yes, but it generally doesn’t, for example, record length, or rests, or dynamics… It’s not intended to fully describe a piece of music, it’s really more of a diagram of a series of notes, specific to a guitar layout, that instruct you on playing a melody you’re presumed to already know the sound of.

It’s not really used by “a tool”, it’s a customary txt-format notation for guitar. People use it to learn/teach how an existing song is played, it’s not intended to actually notate music.

It’s a joke on a tweet about a guy spending a multi-hour flight just staring straight ahead.

Then it’s not a USB-C port.

It’s really special to not have ternary, but have Elvis.

The pro move would have been to spin up a mastodon instance and then star an electric car company.

JavaScript is by far the worst.

PHP

I’ve had the thought that if I were to design a psyop campaign, a pretty solid option for dominating the discussion would be to come out swinging and accuse everyone else of being an agent. That way, people have to either constantly defend against accusations, or they conclude, rightly, the accusations are baseless and decide to disregard the very idea that there is a psyop going on.

Oh, sure, especially if it’s the same few users. It’s just mildly surprising to not even run into them.

Really? You never ran into the endless “…furthermore, .ml must be defederated” posts?

LMAO, even.

Weirdly, it means “universal”. It’s just used as a short for “Roman-Catholic”. The orthodox church is officially the “Orthodox Catholic Church”.

Nah, it’s because they can change you for the battery, but you could sue them for drinking the juice.

It’s by design very verbose and “English”-like, like instead of x=y*z it would go “MULTIPLY y BY z GIVING x”, the idea was that it would read almost like natural language, so that non-tech staff could understand it.

People thought COBOL would let managers write code.

Oh, this is a good one

Isn’t the game some 150GiB?

Also true.
