The place this ends up sticky is that a manager with multiple clients can jointly maximize fees – e.g. instead of properly hedging a bet within each client's portfolio, you can put the bet in one client's portfolio and the hedge in another's. If risk preferences are divergent enough the manager can basically be making one-way bets – and frankly the point of this is it could be socially efficient for two of your clients to bet against each other, that's the point, but for almost any nonlinear compensation structure you dream up (even just sharing a little bit in upside, like venture) you can figure out that the manager maximizes his/her own risk adjusted return by playing clients off against each other or creating scenarios that sometimes throw a client under the bus.

To be clear, a flat fee is the ULTIMATE one-way bet… but making the one-way bet simple rather than complex means that it doesn't incentivize one type of behavior over another, you get the one-way bet even without throwing a client under the bus. And maybe at the end of the day your broker or advisor is a good human and, barring any incentive to the contrary, will do his/her best for the client. Kind of a crazy bet, but…

I reference this one a lot, http://www.music.mcgill.ca/~ich/classes/dafx_book.pdf, and have enjoyed it. I get lost in some of the math, but it's very thorough and practical. It was also personally reccommended by the guys at Goodhertz, and they seem to know what they're doing.
Fabulous article. Lots of the information was completely new to me.

On a side note, I was surprised at how many names I had never actually read, but were immediately pronounceable in my conscious. I would have to credit Dan Carlin's Hardcore History[0] podcast for this. He has many great series that use these historians as sources quite a bit.

Why not APNG?
Yes. Because a guitar is portable and often used for sing along purposes (see: church youth groups, camping like outings, sitting outside in the Spring) there is nearly an immediate draw once people see one. The second part is the choice of music, in that playing "Wonderwall" by Oasis or maybe a Ryan Adams version of a Taylor Swift "1989" song will be much more interesting than laying down an expert technical rendition of "Classical Gas" - well, probably.

This may be a very problematic study, but I think it's good to laugh at because it tends to reinforce the supposition / superstition / myth about the attractiveness of guitarists:

It's a well worn joke that playing to impress non-musicians is a very lucrative career path - playing to impress other musicians leads to poverty more than likely.

By splitting / and /usr you create problems for packagers: Where do all the files need to go?

Does cryptsetup need to go into /sbin or /use/sbin? Does network code belong into / or /use?

Must users will not care, but some might need either of them to set up their file systems.

If you pace something into /, then you also need to put all libraries and binaries that needs into /. That will rapidly blue up the size of /. It is also not automatically testable, so distributions will get things wrong (as they repeatedly did before).

You could have a script to only put the stuff your system needs into /... Most distributions use such a script for their initrd, which contains everything necessary to check and mount your root file system. So you could just extract that into / and be fine with it:-)

Or just use your initrd as that rescue medium.

I do agree, the guitar industry is in crisis mode since their main customers (older men) are dying off, literally.

How does the article make me feel? Makes me feel super excited to the nth degree! As the article states, it's a pretty big milestone to play your first coherent song, but in most people, they never get there and quit. We have a low entry, high ceiling instrument that gets you playing right away. We are trying to disaggregate almost every part of the guitar, but when you actually play it, you can play the entire song from day 1, check out the video if you haven't!

Good results require a good team, so you can still easily fail even with a perfect process if your team isn't good. The fundamental tactical process we follow is to make sure every task has clearly defined entrance and exit criteria. Work doesn't start until entrance criteria are met, and it isn't done until exit criteria are met. Each task is the smallest possible feature that delivers incremental value and tasks are listed in priority order. That's the whole deal. Scrum or Kanban layer some more controls on top of that just to handle volume or big organizations. Most attempts at measurement are completely in vain.
I don't think you have to get far back. Package managers are a dime a dozen with very little to distinguish each other. Only reason I know to choose a particular one is always "when in Rome."

Sadly the same for build programs.
Well, it's missing the interactivity part.
Great question. It's a lot like a target date fund, but you actually want your fund a lot more personalized. E.g. a man or a woman both 70 years old today would be in the same 2015 target date fund, but she's going to live longer and so has a longer time horizon and should be one or two percent more in equities maybe. But this also varies based on whether you have equity in your home as a cushion, have long term care insurance (which pushes financial needs sooner), are married (especially to someone older or younger), have a separate tax-advantaged account (that should be spent later, typically, meaning you actually have a very short horizon on your non-tax-advantaged account), etc.

The point is, you'd be surprised how different two people are in terms of investment needs even if they retired the same year.

As an aside, we model our investment model most closely after target date funds and annuities. Annuities offer a guarantee (subject to to the insurance company's solvency) but high fees and low flexibility, while target date funds offer good market participation and low fees but don't have the guarantee component. We include a similar blend of securities as a target date fund might, but also include an annuity component for the guarantee.

No offense, but it feels junky, just like most web stuff that's trying to do "real" application UI.

Here's some of the problems:

- You can accidentally "select" the text of the buttons

- changing the style of the text causes selection to flicker

- clicking outside a paragraph area causes the selection to flicker (instead of moving the cursor)

- many of the menus don't collapse automatically and they overlap each other

- the site layout just breaks when the page width is too narrow (may be more of a website problem)

All of these are very common problems with web technology, working around them makes the difference between "good" and "acceptable".
Color me surprised. As a developer, the number of times "Windows support" or "MSVC" is the special case that requires you to go through contortions.. shrug

It's been very frustrating on multiple open source projects I've worked on, people proposing to change entire build systems of projects just so that MSVC can be included as a build target. I hope the new Bash-on-Windows stuff will eventually make supporting MSVC a little simpler from various Unix-oriented build tools.

Between moving from MS to POSIX environments in the 90s, and the "death" of Borland, this left me with few options other than another Faustian deal with Java-land, alas.

I was lucky enough to start on a good guitar, but I later tried a couple ~$100-150 "starter" guitars. If I'd started on those I would have quit. Even knowing how to play (more or less) I couldn't make them sound good, and it took a lot of effort just to keep them from buzzing and such.
> Uncontrolled side-effects destroy the ability to reason about software and when one can no longer reason effectively, bugs will happen. This is obvious to anyone who has worked on large systems.

I have worked on systems comprising 10MLOCs over a career of ~20 years, both as a developer and as a manager, and this isn't obvious to me at all. But I separate mutation from side-effects, because mutation is better defined, and what side-effects mean varies by language. Global mutation is important to control, but there are lots of ways to do that. Other side-effects (and especially IO)? Not so much.

It is almost as trivial to guarantee that in Java, although maybe not during compilation.

Oh, while I haven't written much more than Hello, World programs in Haskell (but I have programmed in SML a bit years ago, and a fair bit in Scheme and Clojure), I am no stranger to the theory of pure-FP (simply typed LC w/ polymorphism, functional semantics, monadic composition etc; I'm less familiar with call-by-value semantics, though). It is pretty radically different from most other styles of programming, including imperative-functional, both in terms of coding as well as tools such as debuggers and profilers.

It seems to me C/C++ has always had problems. K&R C had weird stuff like char pointers used to point to anything. And modern C++ has odd complexities like what Scott's article illustrates.

One of the things I learned growing up and playing some real vintage axes is that the consistency of build quality back then was incredibly hit-or-miss. Hand made not always a good thing, fit and finish. Sure, a lot of character, but from a practical standpoint, the "build quality" of guitars is highly refined in the 2000s!

I think it would be interesting to read about the decision process that decided on the 1.4MW of power generation to 6MWh of storage ratio. This is around 1:4.2h.
Is this ratio very specific to Ta’u island, with their usage patterns, or can this ratio be used as a guide for future installations?
I'm guessing that Ta'u has not as much technology that stays on overnight, and a more realistic ratio would be 1:6h or more.

Anyway, this is a great proof of tech.

I remember once using something called HearSayApp, but it disappeared off the face of the internet without a trace. It used HTML5 to place a call, somehow. And the audio was crystal clear.

It's probably got something to do with some kind of regulations. Voice changers are fun, but not when calling 911, for example. Maybe it's a requirement that the sound goes directly to the baseband or something?

Yup, different strokes. If I don't take time to reflect my life becomes messy and my decisions become reflexive instead of weighted. When I am heated, I do go through the thoughts and let emotions run(alone) to allow the release long before I act.

edit:removed unnecessary anecdote.
Culture fit, maybe? As an IT contractor / problem solver, I have often met teams more trying to follow a protocol than actually working for value. From their perspective, they were just complying with the rules set from their employer, so all fine (apart of the fundamental reason they had to call an outisder in, of course). Mileage may vary with country and industry, though.
when places like REI use the term ultralight, it means an entirely different thing than how an experienced backpacker thinks of the word. To an experienced backpacker, rei (or any chain) does not carry ultralight gear. There is an entire market of specialty gear makers making true ultralight gear and none of it is in retail brick and mortar.
Not sure what you mean - are you saying that the program wouldn't have provided motivations for the structure of chords and so it would have been brute memorization? That's pretty likely. It had very minimal instruction in music theory, and actually the program is more marketed at instructors to give their students structure to their non-lesson practice time and add some gamification to motivate young (and not-so-young) learners.

MVC was a bad example imo. It's closer to trying to build something interesting without knowing what a conditional. It's possible, but why would you do it when they're so easy to learn? Scales are the same. It's not difficult to teach someone major and minor scales and have them go from there. You don't need to be able to play them flawlessly at 200bpm to be able to make something with them, but I think it's much easier to create knowing them than not knowing them.

This is true, and I'm sure the internet will play a big role in it now more than ever.

As in, local CraigsList "closet clean outs" will perhaps be the new "Pawnshop Find" because the seller doesn't take the time to research the item and a savvy watcher shows up, does the deal in cash, and moves along. Free-market and all. But, people who choose to go to sites like Reddit and ask "Hey found this how much is it worth?" have a much better chance of receiving market value, whatever that may be. Personally I think a lot of used guitars are woefully over priced and I'd enjoy watching the market change a bit more.
