If you think that's unprofessional, you should see some of the drivel the FSF itself puts out.

I understand taking a position against proprietary code and systems. But to take an extremely hardline stance like they do, and to do it as childishly as the FSF often does, doesn't strike me as something that advances the cause of Free Software.

At least this is just editorializing. The FSF often engages in rhetorical flourishes that would be at home in an elementary schoolyard.
these days grep/vim/sublime/emacs/and the rest of the gang all have power search and replace editing functions. sometimes it's better for the whole world to just copy-paste-alter your code.

The compiler is also quite helpful. Need to change a class? Just change it and recompile. All the places it complains about are exactly all the places that need to be changed, and a targeted search+replace will get them all easily.

I've used lektor and pelican but not nikola. Lektor provides a nice gui where pelican does not (ime). They both work well and pelican seems to have more themes due to it being older.

I think this is completely culturally and moronically ignorant to such an extreme degree. You wish this were true. I wish it were true. But it's complete, utter, bollocks. Life is one big ride and silly? Are you fucking high? You've traveled no where. You've read no history at all whatsoever. Yeah, what's going on in Syria is silly. Being drawn and quartered is one big ride. What the fuck ever. Idiot. You clearly got Alan Watts wrong.
I'm concerned about something similar, where a lot of AI techniques seem to be rushing toward a local maximum:

* AI researchers do things that get good results faster out of Nvidia cards

* Nvidia makes their cards faster at the things AI researchers are doing

It's getting good results. We sure are going up this gradient quickly. But I don't think it's going to get us to a global maximum.
Which in durations are represented spacially, which in my opinion has two negative effects.

The first is that spacial recognition takes more effort than symbol recognition, because it's comparative.

The second, and more important being that complex sequences of notes will be very dense on the page, and simple sequences of notes will take up a lot of space on the page, so suddenly there is a tradeoff between having sheet music that doesn't take 10 pages, and having enough space to represent hemi-demi-semiquaver sequences when they inevitably appear somewhere.

Some context:

http://sf.curbed.com/2016/8/23/12603188/palo-alto-mayor-hous...

The mayor recently made news about wanting to stifle job growth, as it far outpaces what he believes is acceptable housing availability:

> Burt: Palo Alto’s greatest problem right now is the Bay Area’s massive job growth. Cities are still embracing huge commercial development with millions of square feet of office space they can’t support. They’re chasing their tails. We started reining in office growth and put a cap on it. And then we began expanding housing in our downtown areas, which we’re in the process of.

What's funny is that the mayor himself is a CEO of a tech company headquartered in Palo Alto downtown. Some of the things he says are infuriating ("We don’t want to turn into Manhattan"...as if PA were anything close to Manhattan) but as I understand it, he was the more pro-housing/growth candidate in the mayor race:

http://www.paloaltoonline.com/news/2016/01/04/burt-returns-t...

> The two votes mean that the council's top two leadership positions will now shift from members with the heaviest slow-growth residentialist leanings to ones with less predictable voting records. While Burt has played a leading role in the council's recent adoption of an office cap, its efforts to preserve retail and its reform to the "planned-community" zoning, he had also split from the residentialists in supporting several recent developments, including mixed-use projects at 101 Lytton and 441 Page Mill Road (Holman and Schmid had opposed both).
I've skimmed a lot of articles on music "theory" but none of them provide anything like what I'm looking for. A music theory should explain:

1. Why do we like pieces when played forward but not backward or inverted?

2. Why do certain sounds evoke certain emotions?

3. How could you write a program to pick out music that people find especially good (versus music that has surface similarities)?

In other words, why does a particular sequence of sounds A, B, C lead to a mental state M that has particular internal qualities?
There's at least one other survey that did the same trick - turned ~80% agreement in a big group into 97% in a minuscule subsample.

Additionally, John Cook - the guy who runs skepticalscience - did some studies claiming to find high agreement with "the consensus" among published papers about climate. But his paper were terrible, didn't show what he claimed they did, and were less relevant to your claim.

Here's a blogpost going into some issues with the Cook studies and the claims made for them:

http://daviddfriedman.blogspot.com/2014/02/a-climate-falseho...

The difference between disagreeing with 80%-ish and 97% is largely of rhetorical importance. For propaganda purposes it feels like the difference between "a respectable minority view" and "a lunatic fringe". Alas, scientists almost never agree on ANYTHING to the 97% level. So if you hear that level claimed, the best bet is that somebody either fudged with the question - watering it down to such a degree that all the "skeptics" also agree - or fudged with the sample pool, making the surveyed group so tiny and self-selected as to exclude lots of legitimate scientists in related fields.

You're right about the airflow traps preventing the heat transfer out at night. However, I think windows will trap the heat from incoming sunlight as well as the black vanes since a window allows the light to reach farther into the building and get absorbed by the floor (or opposite wall). Ultimately he wants the heat in the floor anyway, so it's best to get it there via radiation. Not much of it will be radiated back out the same window. In fact the black vanes and the rest of the collector should radiate more of the energy back out to the world because they're hotter than the interior space.
I was a gifted kid, I got D's all through school because fuck doing that busywork, and then slept through college and did the bare minimum to graduate with honors, which means only studying for the exams in the car on the way to school... Meanwhile other people worked really really hard to graduate with a 3.0

Please tell me how my success is due to my hard work and not the luck to have been born to my smart-but-relatively-poor parents.

I know other people can spend their life working hard and not get to where I am, and people can work less hard than me and get a lot further. This isn't a game with very structured rules. Life is chaos, and you're doing yourself and society at large a disservice by ascribing your success solely to "hard work", because applying that dogma to people with an IQ of 90 isn't going to work out well on a large scale.

Yes, excellent points to observe that there's no substitute for domain expertise, and I agree with you on good and water being important. I guess our sf has made space travel more exciting than any water or food related themes, which are aren't exciting as trips to Mars or traveling the galaxy meeting interesting beings.

Interested to see where this goes. The 5 blogs/books cited at the end look especially interesting.

I never thought about music notation until i learned guitar. Previous to that i was "gifted" years of lessons in piano, woodwinds and percussion, and reading treble clef was easy. I never tried to read sheet music in guitar books because i never had to, i just read tabs and played. Besides some classical books and jazz books by Berklee profs and others (Leavitt, Martino, Goodrick), there's very few guitar books that don't have tabs.

So you could argue that's a notation. You could also say that FL piano rolls and renoise timelines (what OP is trialling) are notations, as are lead sheets and chords charts in Nashville format (the Roman numerals like ii-V-I you see all over the place). They're sufficient for people to play music, they happen to be dynamically typed and GC'd vs static typed and manually alloc'd
Well, it has to be somewhat arbitrary. But it is nice that the relative minor of C, which is two steps down, is A. Otherwise you would have to go five steps up (from A to F, hypothetically, if A B C D E F G A were a major scale).

Agree with everyone that is saying LinkedIn.

Even if you barely touch your profile, you'll very likely start to get recruiters within a few weeks contacting you.

If you don't, you need to work on what information you are providing in your past history and description to ensure that you look professional and have all of the keywords/skills listed that matter. I would recommend getting someone you trust that works in the field to review it that won't hold back on opinions. Get other opinions as well. Then look at it as if you were a recruiter, a manager, and a future co-worker and make changes as needed.

Then Google/Bing/DDG search yourself. What info do you see? Anything you wouldn't want others to see? Can you do anything to fix that?

Finally, don't just wait around for recruiters. Actively network. Work on the skills you think you'll need to have. Read. Practice. Have your significant other or friend or anyone interview you. Get interview questions you can find easily on the internet and learn all of the answers and why they are the answers. It takes time to prepare.
These types of recruiters do sort of exist. Basically instead of doing contract recruiting by just cold calling or emailing they put together a talent network. Over time they get parts of their talent network into companies as hiring managers and VPs. Once they hit critical mass they become much more selective about who is allowed into the network while also pulling from their network to move guys between companies and also to find out who they should develop new relationships with.

If this sounds sketchy as fuck... it is. But it works, and you can basically tell the recruiter what you want to do and when that op shows up in their network he or she will advise you and help you get the deal.
Fantastic! The tape printer is a nice touch, too.
Music theory is an accepted and used term of art for the category of things that this article talks about. There are courses, books, university departments, and degree programmes that use the term. Nobody is going to stop using it because you skimmed it but it doesn't describe some other thing that you think it should.

Some examples:

* http://www.music.msu.edu/areas-studios/music-theory

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_theory#Fundamentals_of_m...
A more clear example would be that in the U.S., most people claim to be either theists or atheists. But in fact very few of them are actually telling the truth, in that most of them are neither theists or atheists, but that's just how they self-identify for whatever reasons.

The point is that whether people self-identify as being religious or not has basically zero correlation with whether or not people are actually religious. E.g. the media often claims that atheism/non-religious/SBNR is the fastest growing religion, but there isn't really any strong evidence to support that.
If we broaden our definition of religion, it loses much of its descriptive power, and we'll have to invent a new word to describe the Abrahamic religions with their jealous God, which define clear in-groups and out-groups, that define modes of clothing and ritual that mark out believers and non-believers, that require some kind of sacrifice to belong, and that are fundamentally underpinned by the idea of a Covenant, a contract that rewards people for following the tenets and punishes those who don't.

Personally, I think religion is a fine word for this. I'd rather keep it that way. Ritual without belief and concomitant warm fuzzies of doing the Right Thing is something else.
Not sure if they got the chronology right in the article. Walker was indeed an action game from DMA, but it came AFTER Lemmings. Now it's possible they got the idea of Lemmings while working on Walker, but they should mention the order of things properly.
You forgot case-insensitive string comparisons by default. I'm still trying to decide if I like that default. Ultimately it's a small thing that doesn't really matter though.

I cannot think of an application with a less consistent UI than iTunes. Every major version seems to present a total rethink and re-engineering of the entire UI layer.

If consistency is a goal for iTunes then it has failed dramatically.

I want to reiterate that this question wasn't meant as a criticism or lecturing or to diminish the tremendous accomplishments thus far. I genuinely think we live in times of great change and serious problems that need addressing. I don't I even grok the problems much less the solutions at this point so that was my goal to increase understanding to be able to particate in a more meaningful and useful way myself. I've not exactly spent my years in the tech industry doing work that I think was anything more than services that helped business people accomplish some of their goals. That's something but not exactly the most important problems. Any side projects I've worked on I've done so simply because it was something that caught my interest. So god knows, many if not most of people who read HN are probably contributing more than I am.
I loved this game so much
I know one guy who thinks like you.

"How do I know that enjoying life is not a delusion? How do I know that in hating death we are not like people who got lost in early childhood and do not know the way home? Lady Li was the child of a border guard in Ai. When first captured by the state of Jin, she wept so much her clothes were soaked. But after she entered the palace, shared the king's bed, and dined on the finest meats, she regretted her tears. How do I know that the dead do not regret their previous longing for life? One who dreams of drinking wine may in the morning weep; one who dreams weeping may in the morning go out to hunt. During our dreams we do not know we are dreaming. We may even dream of interpreting a dream. Only on waking do we know it was a dream. Only after the great awakening will we realize that this is the great dream. And yet fools think they are awake, presuming to know that they are rulers or herdsmen. How dense! You and Confucius are both dreaming, and I who say you are a dream am also a dream. Such is my tale. It will probably be called preposterous, but after ten thousand generations there may be a great sage who will be able to explain it, a trivial interval equivalent to the passage from morning to night."

I worked at Google (YouTube) during the Snowden revelations. I never got the impression that Google "hated" him. In fact, that statement doesn't even make sense: Google is tens of thousands of individuals. Of course, some considered what he'd done heroic, and some treasonous. My completely subjective impression was that he was generally favourably regarded.
There are lots of patterns in my own religious tradition that I find valuable, separate from the aspect of faith.

Some examples:

- setting aside the Sabbath as a day of rest. Different from the rest of the days of the week. A day for analysis of the direction of your life, recommitment to your values, and taking a break from the burden of everyday responsibilities and work and play.

- ministering to neighbors. Watching out for and serving those around you. Having someone close by who cares and is willing to help.

- tithing - dedicating a fixed, significant percentage of income to charity.

- fasting - abstaining from food and drink for a day, and giving the money that would have been spent (and more if able) to help those in need. This has social benefit as well as personal physical and spiritual/emotional benefit.

"[T]here is a fundamental respect in which ultimate intrinsic nature of the stuff of the universe is unknown to us — except insofar as it is consciousness"

I think the article finds "emergent property" mysterious. It intuits that there is a link between knowing what the "stuff" is that behaves as physics describes it, and "consciousness", by which we know there is something rather than nothing. I think that's a mistake: it's like thinking you couldn't understand an article on the web without directly observing all the electronics that created it. I don't believe that fundamental particles (e.g., quarks) have any identifier attached to them to distinguish them from other fundamental particles, except those that describe their behavior: (probability distribution of) location, (probability distribution of) momentum, (probability distribution of) mass, etc. There is no "stuff" that is not behavior. Physics works to refine our model of the fundamental particles; everything after that is "emergent property". A sorting algorithm in a high level language doesn't depend on what CPU it runs on, given sufficient RAM and that there are no hardware faults. It may have been designed by a human, but it may also have been generated by simulated evolution (genetic algorithm). Fundamental particles/waves don't have hardware faults, but they do have probability distributions. Atoms are an emergent property of their constituents and decay when their constituents reach a low probability state incompatible with the constitution of the atom. Molecules are an emergent property of atoms and become different molecules when their constituents decay or their components react to some external force (usually the electromagnetic forces of another molecule). Cells are an emergent property of some kinds of molecules, and so on up the complexity scale. Consciousness is perhaps the top of the pyramid.
I'm not sure what you mean by "perfect fifth away from the tonal". Do you mean tonic? Perfect fifths are easy to recognize, they're notes which are both on lines or both on spaces, and there is a small gap between them. Yes, you have to remember that one of the fifths is diminished, but only one of them.

Meanwhile, all the thirds are easier to recognize, since they have the same spacing.

I would love to see an alternative notation that is demonstrably easier to read. That is, there's a big difference between "it's hard because music notation is an inherently difficult problem" and "it's hard because the notation we chose sucks".
