Yeah, in my reading, it never seems that there was a compelling reason to chose Aeolian vs. Dorian as the definitive "minor". I think it's largely because common practice evolved to much more frequently approach the tonic from below instead of above. That would favor harmonic minor over Dorian. I suspect that this is because it allows for very similar cadences as major keys.
Relative decrease in WER is not so significant for lower percentages. How about "we make 6 errors on 100 words but Kaldi makes 7".

The reason I made my original statement is that old, frequently ex-military trucks and old busses form the backbone of a lot of central and northern africa's transport networks, and the local mechanics are incredibly ingenious and experienced at performing "bush repairs" or fabricating spares to keep them going.

"Unix systems" is a kind of antiquated term for when the big iron vendors (IBM, Sun, HP, DEC, MIPS) sold large RISC systems with the hardware (Power, SPARC, pa-risc, Alpha, MIPS) as a loss leader for the proprietary UNIX (AIX, Solaris, HPUX, Tru64, RiscOS) running on them. Linux ate most of those proprietary unices, and now the economic logic (for the remaining survivors) is reversed: the money is in the hardware and in support.

I can supply some anecdotally. I own two vehicles with reputations for running after neglected or minimal maintenance: a 1966 VW Beetle and a Land Rover.

The more correct way of characterising both would be that they will continue to run and function without ongoing maintenance (the proper level of which is way above a modern vehicle) until they break in a spectacular and often terminal way.

To attempt to answer your question, I think the general implication is that "old trucks" are designed for high maintenance intervals whereas Land Rovers, especially as used by the military, are designed to perform a function for short intervals with the long-term aid of a logistics chain.

Awesome notes!

One thing that just struck me was the emphasis on relaxed concentration.

I have been using Headspace for guided meditation for the last couple months, and just finished the Focus series. In that series the instructor, Andy, also emphasized that a calm and relaxed focus is more effective then an intense focus, as well as the idea tha lasting concentration is not achieved through intense staring, but through curiosity and by "letting go".
The title doesn't do the article justice. It's an attempt to figure out how modern politics happened, and it's convincing.

Rust has both “essential verbosity” and “accidental verbosity”:

(0) Lifetimes have to be represented in the language's syntax somehow, and this can't be avoided. Lifetime elision makes this a nonissue, anyway.

(1) Rust's syntax for function declarations is horrendous. In a single place, it does two things that ought to be kept separate: state the type of the function and give names to the function's arguments. This by no means essential, e.g., Haskell does this much better.

(2) The lack of global type inference really hurts when you write functions with syntactically large argument and/or return types. AFAICT, Rust's type system is Haskell's minus HKTs plus higher-ranked lifetimes. Most Rust code doesn't use anything higher-ranked, so Rust could have much more aggressive type inference. The only impediment is the Java-like syntax for method calls: you can't infer nominal object types from how objects are used. This is again purely accidental.

Neither is taking a plane somewhere.
The point is that the X Server is an ancient mess of code held together by duct tape, with countless deprecated APIs. Most login managers don't even let you run it rootless, which means the vast majority of desktop users have all this running as root, and rootless X wasn't even possible until very recently... and was motivated by Wayland anyways.

So the point of Wayland is to have a clean and simple foundation, with no obvious security vulnerabilities, no overhead, and no kludgey workarounds or ancient APIs.

Which is why I'm pretty confident that in a few years it will be available, at which point I'll think about using Wayland, particularly since it will probably be getting the lion's share of updates by then.

The way I see it, if they're too small, you need to watch them anyway, or else they will put everything on their mouth, not just dropped food.

If they are over that, they're smart enough to understand that they don't eat jelly sandwitch off of the floor, or something they dropped in a public street. But for a casual hard food stuff they dropped on the kitchen floor or living room etc, they can sweep it and eat it -- and get some germ resistance too.

E.g.:

Just as a baby's brain needs stimulation, input, and interaction to develop normally, the young immune system is strengthened by exposure to everyday germs so that it can learn, adapt, and regulate itself, notes Thom McDade, PhD, associate professor and director of the Laboratory for Human Biology Research at Northwestern University.

Exactly which germs seem to do the trick hasn't yet been confirmed. But new research offers clues.

In a recent study, McDade's team found that children who were exposed to more animal feces and had more cases of diarrhea before age 2 had less incidence of inflammation in the body as they grew into adulthood.

Inflammation has been linked to many chronic adulthood illnesses, such as heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer's.

"We're moving beyond this idea that the immune system is just involved in allergies, autoimmune diseases, and asthma to think about its role in inflammation and other degenerative diseases," McDade says. "Microbial exposures early in life may be important… to keep inflammation in check in adulthood." (WebMD)

I was happily paying $10/month to Spotify but canceled my subscription because the desktop player was so bad and incomplete. After a while I realized that attempting parity with other players was not on their to-do list.

I'm not even a power user, there are many advanced and obscure features of Winamp/foobar I never used. But those products have the nuances of day to day management of playlists and usability figured out and Spotify in comparison doesn't care. It seems they'd be happier to have you use web/mobile and not even support a desktop player.

And my statement relates to the reality that the war is one-sided (a huge country or countries vs some fanatic goat herders with guns), and less about results and more about ensuring a continuous presence and state of affairs. Besides, it has killed much more innocent in foreign places that people or even soldiers have been killed on the "under defence" side. It's mostly oil, strategic interests, business as usual -- that were handed over a nice pretext that Bush took away and run with it.

Does anyone know how it's financed? Without a clear business model, it's hard to trust anyone these days. If it was an open source project just for the sake of having an open source solution, that'd be one thing, but the website mentions Jobs, and has a web-based app run by them, so there's real money being invested here, and at some point they'll have to reap profits from it.
Maybe people didn't flip their shit about the dual camera because they don't really see what that adds, necessarily? They just know 'I need a camera to take a picture'. Maybe if they investigated it more they'd care, or seen pictures side by side, but for a lot of lay-people (with decent phones), their phone already takes good-enough pictures for their needs.
Rocrail changed License to some dodgy non-free non-License
Yeah, I'm not going to get the iPhone 7, but I'd much rather have the second camera give me 2-3x optical zoom than "black and white mode," which Huawei implemented first, and now Qualcomm is going to support it in its latest high-end chips by default. That means Android competitors won't have an answer to Apple's dual-camera zoom feature for at least another year.

That said, this may be the first year in which a competitor clearly beat Apple in image quality, with the past two years, the competitors being "more or less equal", but not surpassing Apple.

All big companies are larger than "some tribalism number". All big companies eventually devolve into fighting tribes. Forcing procedures to make other departments look bad, automating or faking results to make our department look good, etc. Obviously that's BS work which contributes nothing to society.

Meanwhile on the other side I've worked for companies as small as three people where we were basically a team of equal contractors with no management required (non-IT outsourced labor, more or less, long story)

I would wager that only a very small number of people in between in size provide any value that couldn't be replaced by say, a mailing list and a small shell script or two. I've worked for some good managers. Of course half were below the median by definition and they mostly produced BS work.

The grad student analogy is inaccurate, that's more of a mentorship or apprenticeship model.

You're looking at it by statistical comparison, but the difference in capability may not actually be that large. Indeed, it's my perception that latent intelligence is far less important than knowledge gained through learning/experience.

My IQ was measured at 140 in high school, but having met a variety of people whose IQs I know, there are people with 100 IQ whose opinions I would defer to over my own, and people with 160 IQ whose opinions I would pretty much ignore. IQ just isn't a very important indicator of utility.

Maybe meant 1989? That's when the Fuji DS-X was on the market. Released in Japan with a high price tag, but it was available.

Alternately, the Dycam Model 1 was in the US in 1990, or the Apple QuickTake 100 in 1994.

The graph gets less compelling if all you mark is "introduction of digital cameras" in 1989, since those early models didn't have any impact on film camera sales. What this graph really needs is a second line for digital camera unit sales. Data wasn't available?
Almost every cloud music app I have used has issues with the concept of a "queue" or playing a snippet of something while I am in the middle of a playlist. Spotify, Mog <defunct>, rdio, and itunes seems to never do what I want when it comes to "just checking out a song while other songs are playing".

Lets say you have enqueued up a bunch of songs on Spotify or perhaps have a really good shuffled playlist god forbid you accidentally click on a song instead of queue it.

Because of this annoyance at times I just give up and put on Pandora. Their song selection sucks but otherwise I think Pandora is fairly stress free UX wise.

For completeness; Wayland also protects against keyloggers. In Wayland, input events are sent only to the application that hosts the window into which the input goes. So, keyboard events go to the app that has the keyboard focus.

I'm not sure exactly how X works here. I think as long as you have a visible window (1x1 pixel or more), you can get all keyboard input.

This may or may not be central to your point, but I wanted to have it out there to better inform about how Wayland improves upon X :)
> Ellison showed off a new Oracle Dense Cloud IO bare metal cloud server offering that will provide developers with 36 CPU cores, 512GB of D-RAM, and 28.8TB of SSD storage.

AWS isn't merely about the compute. EC2 is just part of a larger ecosystem of infrastructure services that has been built out by amazon over the past 10 years. If Oracle thinks they can beat that, then more power to them but I'm not quite convinced.

I'm happy that there's more competition but Oracle's offering seems more like empty words rather than concrete competition.
