It seems obvious, even to those unfamiliar with phonetics, how tonal languages are transformed into whistled languages by whistling the underlying tone contours.

However, even languages with no phonemic tonality are able to be whistled because we distinguish vowels almost entirely by the volume of the harmonic frequencies produced by changing the shape of the resonating chamber of the mouth. Musicians often call this "color" or "timbre". Jaw aperture roughly corresponds to the volume of the first formant produced, and how the tongue is raised or retracted within the mouth roughly corresponds to the second formant produced.

Even the surrounding consonants leave their mark on the surrounding vowels. For instance, sounds produced with the lips, (like English "b"/"p"), tend to lower the formants of the surrounding vowels. Consonants produced with the back of the tongue against the soft palate (c.f. English "k"/"g") tend to "pinch" the second and third formants of the preceding vowel closer together. Collapsing and merging consonant clusters while bringing the tonal variation into the fundamental pitch is one of the most common theories of tonogenesis, or how tonality evolves in languages.

Whistled languages based on non-tonal languages tend to whistle the patterns of the second formant, which captures subtle information about what the vowel and surrounding consonants would have been in the underlying spoken language.

Do you know of any detailed source on all that, ideally something like http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0813338697 ?

The only thing I can add to this debate with my current knowledge is that the British foiled the start of a campaign against the Chain Home radars after the Luftwaffe's first Maximum Effort against one station. Devastation was wreaked, but one or more boffins who showed up to see what could be done observed that there was one functioning transmitter, and jury rigged an antenna for it.

When the Luftwaffe did ECM reconnaissance they couldn't distinguish between it and a functioning station, and concluded that approach wasn't going to work.

Can't remember my source for it, a quick check of the index indicates it wasn't R.V. Jones' superb Most Secret War.
I have a Roku, and I bought it for the exact reason that they don't (at least from what I can tell) have their own streaming service. I wanted a device where the makers have a direct stake in making the best experience for all streaming services possible, and there are no second class citizens.

I didn't want a device coming from a company participating in multi-sided markets. It just ends up with an internal conflict of interest and it's always not clear to the customer what side is the win.
Yes although 9 times in 10 it's wherever the corporation is headquartered. That's usually their home turf, not yours, so it may help them, but mostly it's that they don't want to be bothered associating local counsel 100 times a year. It's rare for someone to insist on contractual choice of venue that's some arbitrary other location (like East Texas usually is).
Current versions of Babel default to having es7.asyncFunctions enabled.
That's probably more of a licensing issue.
It's a different block list -- they wrote their own, this one is based on open-source Easylist / Easyprivacy.

I'm honestly not sure which blocklist is better between mine and Adblock Fast's. If you have feedback, would love to hear.
But as an Apple user, I already know they are hypocritical control freaks who don't respect their users.

But this is literally the first time that I've seen Amazon play that way. So it may not be different from any other retailer, it's different from how Amazon used to be. (Or at least was perceived to be, which amounts to the same thing.)
I dont want to sound like a dick - but how many coding schools equates to too many coding schools. I would love to see some stats on how many people are trying to attend these sort of things. At some point, supply is going out strip demand and its not going to be financially viable.
How is JetBrains autocomplete slow? It's 90% of the time instant for me. The 10% of the times always happen in the same patterns and I already expect it to not work immediately. In the other 90% i just always expect the autocomplete to be there and keep typing without thinking about it.
Typically /usr/local relies on group permissions: the accounts that you trust to build and install stuff are added to, eg. 'admin' group, and /usr/local is group writable for admin with the group s-bit set.

The problem isn't the propagation, it's the propagation by default. He wants errors that occur in development to pop a stack trace as soon as the error occurs without needing to attach a .catch handler.
This takes me back ten years to 2005. I was the QA lead at an open source company and we really wanted to use FogBugz. An operations engineer imported all of our bugzilla issues and we were starting to put FogBugz through its paces, but what we couldn't figure out was FogBugz licensing for all of our OSS community. In the en, I think Joel did get back to us and tell us their product was not a fit.

Another adviser replied to the thread below (oldest at the bottom) that Apache also uses Jira.

In the end we kept using Bugzilla.

From: bizguy
Subject: RE: [Staff] FW: Joel Spolsky intro?

I second FogBugz being unreachable. Also, Jira has a MUCH more impressive client list:

Cisco, Oracle, HP, NASA, JPL, CERN, MIT, CalTech, Cornell, HBO

From: ceo
Subject: RE: [Staff] FW: Joel Spolsky intro?

in view of the FogCreek people being unresponsive, and advisor's instant "don't use them" response, I'd like for us to do a bit more due diligence on Jira. I notice that they have per-server licensing ($4800), with unlimited users.

From: me
Subject: Re: [Staff] FW: Joel Spolsky intro?

jira is java based and requires running tomcat which can be a bit of a pig.

It is supportive of open source communities. That is about all I know about it right now... I will look at it more tonight.

From: advisor
To: ceo
Subject: Re: Joel Spolsky intro?

Avoid, use Jira...

This theory is not supported by empirical evidence. There is plenty of evidence showing how industries became more innovative with the introduction of patent protection. This theory may however apply to industries where innovation is incremental and where claim boundaries are hard to define, like software, but evidence is hard to come by and only now are we seeing some empirical studies on the matter.
> You're still being condescending by assuming that their views are wrong

If you posit a preexisting bias as condescension then you can throw nearly all forms of dialogue between two disparate groups in there.

> That's what I mean by preaching

Allowing someone to have a voice, even if you quite vocally disagree with them and have preconceived ideas that there's something wrong with them, is more material and consequential than suppression. Call it what you will.

Channeling your earlier post...

> If you are not willing to admit that they might be right

This starts with dialogue, no matter what your feelings towards them are. The opposite is the death of debate.

Did you do anything in advance of the install?
Eg some people were mentioning earlier to move files out of bin/local before upgrade then copy them back in. Do anything like that?
This is so cool. I was trying to correlate the sounds I heard to the shapes of the words, but I've got limited exposure to Turkish which made it more difficult. Fascinating to know that it [sounds] Turkish as well.

US planted questions against Julian Assange interview? [pdf]
I'm all for optimizing the last 20%, but unless I'm mistaken, in America, ~80% of this is due to a sedentary lifestyle. And that bias arises from knowing people genetically predisposed to type 2 who have close relatives who died young from it, yet persuading them to exercise is like pulling teeth.

Which is to say while I think you could build a billion dollar company out of that last 20% (and you can correct me on the percentages here, really, please do so), it would have to not only provide such information, but also present it in such a way that the recipient got up and did something with it. And that's the hard part, no?

A few U2F details worth mentioning

Browser support is currently limited to Chrome, and possible Windows Edge*

For now it only works with USB. Bluetooth and NFC specs are out, browser support is the bottleneck

The protocol is public/private key based, with the private key strongly encouraged to be in tamper resistant/evident storage.

The protocol is authentication method agnostic. It doesn't care if you use a USB key, a retinal scan, a pin or divination.

You could write a software only authenticator if you wanted, but servers could detect that (and reject it if they chose to) through the attestation certificate you provided. You can't pretend to be a brand X authenticator, because only company X will have the private key(s) matching the attestation certs to sign (batches) of model X authenticator.

Yubikeys are just one implementation of a U2F authenticator. In theory GitHub now works with any present/future authenticators that talks U2F (modulo browser support) e.g. an iPhone+TouchID+NokNok SDK, a Pebble watch+app, an Android Phone+$your_app, an NFC implant, m-of-n wearables

* Microsoft announced something U2F related for Windows 10, I never got to the bottom of what exactly

Well that's what you do, via the HTML. But the concern is that CSP treats the HTML served as untrusted. You could fix it by asking the server, but at that point, you're making a request to the server for the resource, killing some of the point of caching. And it seems wrong to have "if-not-hash" headers as part of this proposal; that'd be better off as an improvement to the HTTP caching stuff overall. But putting the verified hashes in the HTTP headers is fine as CSP already relies on the headers having integrity.
what type of development do you do with it? Like I mentioned, I use it for wordpress development. That means on any given keystroke, IntelliJ has to find the right symbol buried in gigabytes of data, since any given php file can have html, css, js, php and/or wordpress. Not to mention the wordpress plugins I'm developing are (imho) unnecessarily large. Half a second to several seconds is the typical autocomplete time for me, with the time increasing the longer it's open.

Just writing this makes me long for the good old days of html 4, css 2 and JS only being used to animate mouse trails.
It's not surprising, but at the same time so many companies (outside tech) require college degrees for absolutely menial work. I work in biotech and it's fucking terrible.

Recently was turned down for a job that required an MS in bioinformatics (at the time I was 4 classes shy of finishing the degree), this was also at the same company I was already employed at for 3.5 years. Since I didn't have a masters yet they did not think I would be qualified and they refused to let me do a project to showcase my skills.

Instead they gave me a month-long internship so I could gain experience and apply for another position down the road. My first day at the internship I was given work that I could have done prior to starting my masters, it was insulting. My manager (who had an MS in bioinfo) could not even wrap her mind around the questions I was asking her, it was pitiful.

I put my two-weeks in the next day. In this case I think the manager projected her ineptitude on me, since she couldn't do the job without a masters she assumed no one else could either.

The further you go up, the worse it seems to get. SO YES, this apparently should be surprising to a lot of people...so many do not seem to understand this simple concept. Or at the very least, they don't believe it enough to actually put it into practice.
It would, but it would need to deal with the whole plethora of software firewall to ensure it doesn't trip them but doesn't break them in a way noticeable by the user. Piggybacking on Windows Update accomplishes both because every software firewall has Windows Update whitelisted out of the box.
This is a terribly uninformed perspective on the monumental achievement of large success. If anything, fog bugz "lost" to stack exchange which, imo, is a more profound achievement than the over crowded project management category that still hasn't put out a product that has broad appeal.
> Based on his talks, he likes frictionless development over jumping through hoops that may or may not result in a safer application.

I think it's clear that using Rust will result in a safer application per unit of developer time compared to a non-memory-safe language. But I'm certainly willing to believe that not everyone cares about having a memory-safe application.

Awesome, thank you for the tip.
You are assuming the interviewer is looking at it in a black and white fashion. I was more pointing towards the more mundane goals.

For instance in game development there are lots of roles including designing and developing. If I am hiring a developer and you say you want to design that is a very valuable piece of feedback that doesn't exclude you from the position. For instance it could mean that of the two positions one may be a better fit because it involves more architectural work.

In your example that isn't nearly as useful, wanting to focus on your hobby is not a negative at all.

An example of a problem would be hiring for a legacy system and having someone say they want to work with the latest and greatest tools. The reality is that isn't going to happen and the fact that you are going to be looking out for another job quickly means it would be better for both of us to avoid the hire (again all things being equal).
Thanks, man. Much appreciated.
I'm with you on this. The replies you're getting in this thread are mind-blowingly tone-deaf. People with no expenses, making gobs and gobs of money, feign-surprise-bragging "WTF how are you not financially independent??? Doesn't everyone save 20% of their salaries and take months off to go canoeing??" It's really quite ugly.

I'd be willing to bet the vast, VAST majority of Americans cannot just up and quit their job because they got a hangnail and felt sad about it. Not having a job tomorrow is my biggest nightmare. It's a nightmare that haunts billions of people on the planet. gregd's astonishment at this article is understandable.

If you're socking away tons money into savings each month, you need to take a look at yourself [YES THIS MEANS YOU, person hovering over the "reply" button], stop and look at yourself and realize you are one of a very lucky privileged few who can afford such a luxury. Be thankful for it, and don't pretend to be surprised that everyone here is not equally fortunate.
