>>A large portion of the black untaxed money is untraceable in the form of cash

No.

The very rich repatriate their money through Foreign banks and investments.

Middle class and Upper middle class has long in India parked their money in lands and houses.

Lower middle class typically goes with gold.

Poor barely have money and whatever little is in cash savings.

People who think rich Indians sleep on mattresses filled with cash have no clue what they are talking about. That whatever cash the rich you seen throwing in lakes and streets is more like pennies left in a long forgotten pant in some old wardrobe. There are thousands of such pants those people own.

I started liking this convention when I started considering the tests documentation. In my code, the first unit test for any function is always the simple common case, and having that right next to the function usually makes the code easier to read.
nVidia has really hustled to make that happen.

I expressed some vague interest in using CUDA for something and we were offered a demo account on one of their boxes, invited to apply for an academic hardware grant, and pointed at tons of training material (books, a MOOC, conferences, and even some 1-2 day sessions), libraries, and other resources.

On the other hand, my institute apparently has some Phis. I discovered this because there's a small queue with that name on our cluster. I don't think I've ever been contacted by an Intel rep or offered training material--or even marketing material--from Intel, let alone a Phi of my own to experiment with.
My kids both started in Suzuki programs. In fact, from what I can tell, Suzuki is now the leading teaching method for small kids on nearly all instruments. Teachers tend to modify the method somewhat. Since "Suzuki" is a brand, it comes with a specific repertoire. American teachers tend to draw from a larger repertoire, and also introduce reading fairly early depending on the kid's aptitude and interest.

In my observation, classical music is not a turn-off for kids, if they are young enough that they don't have a strong sense of what is "cool." Reaching teenagers is a whole nother ball o' wax, and I suspect, is rarely as successful.

Part of Suzuki's ideology involved the parents. He expected them to be enthusiastic partners in their kids learning music. This can be a problem if: 1) The parents don't like classical music. Many people viscerally dislike it. 2) They oppose all structured musical education for whatever reason, including their own childhood experience.

I grew up when Suzuki was still controversial in the US, and my training (on the cello) was along classical European lines. Music is a huge part of my life, though I now play jazz on double bass almost exclusively. I'm not sure that the less structured approach to learning guitar actually leads to less attrition. Among people I know (for instance at my workplace) who still pursue an interest in music at any level, relatively few play the electric guitar. Without supporting evidence, I wouldn't assume that the supposedly structured, old-fashioned approach to teaching music is actually less successful in the long run.

Rust's format macro only takes string literals as a template, so you can't provide a runtime string template. The solution seems to be adding an external templating lib, which seems like overkill for a single template.
The author of the article intended to write "output-only".

But even this is not quite right: it's by definition not an input-only jack, but rather a jack capable of both input and output (which the user may think is output-only), but that RealTek has quietly switched to input mode as a result of their malware.

Really this title is alarmist. Only very specific hardware, and you'd have to not notice the sound stopped.

> Back then, the kids usually had a particular player they wanted to emulate

Back then, they had less entertainment to get fixated on. When you only get one magazine per week and maybe a few releases to listen to over and over, it's easy to pick up the guitar and practice for a while.

Nowadays, the entire knowledge of the world and legions of videogames and brain-candy are literally one tap away. It's the same for all activities requiring concentration or long practice, they are being phased out by the immediacy of electronic content. Similar cultural changes happened when people moved from complex poetry (scarce and expensive books, which you would analyze for months and would require extensive education to appreciate) to serialized novels (frequent updates on cheaper media, requiring less formal education to appreciate).
Creativity isn't magic.

Humans are not magically creative as much as they'd like to be.

If i ask you to think of a random number, you don't just pull it out of thin air, It can be based on tens to hundres of things:
-Should i do a relaly low or high number?
-People always use round numbers that end in 0 or 5, maybe i shouldn't do that, or should i to make it seem truer
-what other large "random" numbers have a heard?
-i remember seeing a number recently, maybe try a modification of that
-you used {x} as a random number last time, go similar to that?

All this adds up in that under a second thought you have when i asked you to think of a random number. the literal same thing goes into all creative works, the output is a function of the input.
Herodotus is called the "Father of History" because he is believed to be the first to have systematically collected and critically evaluated various sources to produce his narrative. The OP argues that Sima Qian deserves the same title for the same reasons.

Did the Mayans employ the same approach when writing their history? If so, your point is a good one.
Whats up everyone. I am the maker of the website and the backpack.

This was my first sewing project, but it turned out much better than I expected.

I'm happy with Google doing things like this, not to mention foursquare and Yelp have terrible UX. If I go to Yelp on my phone it bugs me to download the app to view the reviews. No, I don't want this app just to check what people are saying about this one off Vietnamese restaurant that I just drove past and am thinking about stopping at.

Google grabs my location, I search the place or something along the lines of it (Vietnamese restaurant) click reviews and I also clearly see the hours, location, etc.

Same thing with movie showtimes, being able to google and see this information for local theaters without having to go to these often terrible websites is awesome and I hope to see this type of stuff improve with google.

Not to take away from the OP, but if you read the article, the two last paragraphs read:

"Detractors have predicted the death of the electric guitar for years, pointing to the rise of rap and electronic dance music on pop charts.

But Mooney isn't worried. More women are playing guitar these days, he said—something he credits largely to Taylor Swift—and Fender now sees as many women as men playing the acoustic guitar, if not the electric(...)"

This "profound correlation" is suggested in the article itself.
I'm not particularly emotional about this topic. I have no particular pro- or anti-union agenda. I do, though, like to see the topic discussed thoughtfully and with understanding, something you failed to do here.

I do though, have a great distaste for jacksassery, so you and your faux forgiveness can take a hike. That's yet another rhetorical technique, yet again used poorly.
Would be awesome if it prompted them for some proof of work like a sample of what X would look like on my website :)
Probably not. Mostly just dry names, dates and events are recorded in stone stelae. Kind of like how history was taught when I was in school.

Froala seems to be leading the pack, but was still very disappointing. It plays _okay_ with webpack, but requires jQuery, and doesn't seem to support es6 imports.

I wonder if they're using the term "deterministic build" in the same way that, say, Debian uses it, and whether they should choose something else to describe this.
Very interesting, but it needs critical mass before the response would be anything other than "Clearly this guy/girl is a deviant if they use this extension". How many people are brave enough to do that?
You should move it to a documentation block, given that doc examples are also run as tests. Then your users can see them too. Win-win!

Buy Rocksmith, plug your guitar into the PC, and see if you get addicted to playing 1h+ a day like I did. You'll learn fast.
Producing a rhythm is completely different than producing a song. Rhythms don't have tones, notes do. Not understanding chord structures, scales and how songs are built will make it quite difficult to produce any type of song. There are basic fundamental building blocks of how to build a song you'll need to understand or you'll just run in circles hitting notes. Imagine trying to learn to program without understanding the basics of MVC.

This is great! I agree that I think this kind of editor composing is the way forward for most content editing on the web.

I was deep into Draft a while back, and there are some downsides to it though. It's document model is flat, which makes it hard to model nested structures like tables, captions, etc. It also treats a lot of the built-in logic in privileged ways which makes it hard to override and add custom logic. And generally the API and docs are fairly convoluted to use and understand.

If anyone is interested in composing complex editors in React/Immutable, you might be interested in a library I've been working on called Slate:

https://github.com/ianstormtaylor/slate

Unlike most of the other editors, its goal is to not have opinions out of the box. If you're going for just basic WYSIWYG then it's probably not for you, but if you're trying for more advanced editing experiences I think that flexibility is critical.

Anyways, awesome work! I just wanted to add another perspective.
Most people that play on electric would use a pick, while on acoustic guitar there is more finger-picking involved, no?
Most people don't play sounds all day. But this does point to a viable defense, if the headphones are always playing something they can't be used to record.
In Japan, most (all!?) popular bands release 'band scores' for all of their albums. The quality and accuracy is across-the-board _excellent_.

I'm interested in having a play. As an out and out ML newbie, is there such a thing as an AWS image I could run on a GPU instance and then just git clone and go?
Please note that Draft.js lacks "inline blocks": there's no way to, for example, have an image rendered inline rather than as its own block. I lost hours to this non-obvious omission so maybe this will save someone else time :)

I've been using https://github.com/ianstormtaylor/slate instead, which uses a similar architecture but has inline blocks. It's not quite as fully-baked as Draft.js yet though.

JSON-LD[1], a way to express hyperlinks (linked data) in JSON documents, strongly encourages the use of shared vocabularies instead of every API being their own snowflake with their own private vocabulary every developer need to invest a lot of time into understanding. Schema.org is one such vocabulary.

Not having to read documentation to understand whether the "table" property in the JSON document means "coffee table" or "tabular data" is going to save developers worldwide umpteen man-years. Still, most API developers continue creating snowflakes with proprietary designs, protocols and vocabularies.

JSON-LD is a large step in the right direction by making it easy to share vocabularies. Hydra[2] takes the next logical step by standardizing the protocol as well, so no matter what your API does, it has one standardized way to express it.

We (unintentionally) stress test it. Our Linux admins vociferously insist using it to audit everything that is happening on a 120 core box that spawns tens of heavy processes every second.
It is not profound. It is one of the first things that you should look for.

Outside of supplier issues, which are not mentioned in the article, the idea that the music landscape is changing and that is affecting the sales is straightforward. I don't want to discount the work that the grandparent post put into listening to the top 30 songs for a single HN comment, but the idea is more than reasonable, it is a clear choice.

On the grandparent comment, maybe we should look at YouTube or Spotify's lists of the top tracks as well. BB does take in the streaming and digital services for the calculation [0] but the YT tracks may be less skewed to the older set. Radio play is strongly associated with car drivers, an older cohort, while YT can be considered to be less skewed in that direction, though it has it's own problems like everything else.

And I'd just like to actually have control over my own phone. Right now, it's Google, Apple, or MS. Google is the "free-est", but exacts their cost with your data.

What I'd like, is something like a cut and dry Linux. The cell phone would be its own group, and you could add users to different groups and hardware, just like Debian or CentOS.

I would also like to be able to create comprehensive dialer programs, that could route calls depending on incoming data, record audio, pipe audio via PulseAudio and things I can normally do with Linux right now.

But in the best of situations, I'm forced to choose 3 of "Crap"... And hope I chose right so I can at least jailbreak (in reality, owning my device- it's not Apple's or Microsoft's).

> Rhythms don't have tones, notes do.

Ummm.. I don't think this is true. I think Djembe has open tone, closed tone, slap, base tone ect. I What about folk songs from India, how did they come up with it ? I am not arguing against music theory, I am arguing against saying music theory is prerequisite for creating music.

Music is nothing like a programming language, there is no compiler rejecting your bad music. Sure people have discovered what sounds good and what doesn't and turned it into some sort of theory but those are merely guidelines not syntax rules that are enforced by the compiler.
Nice job! Keep it up.

The top HN comment on this article is about how music teachers that focus on form and fundamentals are ruining young musicians' desire to learn. To me, your comment is the ultimate rebuttal of that.

Guitar is quite easy to play wrong; you can go a long way without learning proper form. I imagine having somebody show you proper posture, thumb placement, etc. would have helped you out. Nobody that wants to play rock music is going to learn sitting like this, though http://www.learnclassicalguitar.com/images/Playing-Position-...

I've played the piano for about 3 years now, took lessons for the first year of that then stopped. Using pianomarvel.com worked pretty well for me for a while for learning certain skills. I had already taken some lessons, so I wasn't completely lacking instruction in basic technique, but I was poor at reading music (let alone sight reading). My reading skills improved significantly over a few months of doing most of their course, which basically just has you plug in your keyboard by midi to your computer and then play along to songs until you get it nearly correct. If I had been self-studying, I wouldn't have been exposed to as wide a range of pieces (more even than when I was taking lessons). I'm now much more confident picking up a new piece of classical or modern music. So, I'd say that "apps" are still useful. (Though you definitely need one that uses a real keyboard or piano and not a tablet touchscreen - bleh!) Had I been more dedicated, I could have used it to practice chords, scales, and arpeggios too.
I agree. I imagine anyone who picks up an instrument, about 90 percent abandon it within the first year. I also would be almost anyone who picks up learning to code, abandons it within the first year.

Learning to play an instrument is hard and like anything else that is hard, you need to put in the work to reap the rewards.

I'm a big advocate of Agile but at the same time I'm leery of joining teams that say they do Agile. Why? Because they usually mean, "We do standups and burndown charts and that's it." It's cargo-cult Agile, at best, and micromanagement by story point, at worst.

Football teams don't do standups saying "I will run X yards". Each and every player on the team

-knows precisely what the objective is

-knows precisely what his/her role is and is capable of fulfilling it

-knows what s/he needs to communicate to other teammates for them to fulfill their roles and does so promptly

-is capable of assessing what needs to be done next given the current situation on the field without having to be told and takes on that task on their own initiative

-doesn't have anyone breathing down their neck saying "A point must be scored by X:XX on the clock or else!" regardless of whether the tactical situation makes it possible

Together, such a team functions like a well-oiled machine. _That_ is what Agile is trying to teach. But more often than not, few, if any of the personnel or business conditions are met to make it possible and so it's a painful, miserable charade for all involved.

I have seen Agile work exactly once in my career; it's absolutely beautiful when it does.
