They don't talk about what kind of musicians. I quite distrust the notion of integer rhythms for them. Rubato is non integral, same goes for swing which constantly shifts the momentum of the beat. In my non researcher mind, momentum is the closest definition of what rhythm is (and much more telling than empty space between stimuli)

Last time I read about this subject, historians and egyptologists were still having some disputes about this.

How much research have you done into the science involved here, do you have a strong understanding of the fundamentals?
What's your deep suspicion based on? Certainly not medical research.
Online computing power is not the same as your own - it's like taxi vs your own car. You can't do what you want when you want. Turned on your Amazon machine? No sleep till you fix the bugs and load all GPUs :) Every "downtime" costs. I, personally, find it very disturbing and despite the fact my employer pays for my Amazon time I often prefer my laptop with GeForce 840M :)
A DB has a lot more obvious and strict context than a file of source code, and the law of demeter typically doesn't affect DB contexts as much as it does code, in practice.

In real code, it's unwise to expect the reader to study context just to parse a name.
so, based on your suspicion you get to decide what substances I may ingest during my personal time? addiction can ruin lives, but the war on drugs only makes it worse for drug users. addicts need help, not punishment. you may or may not agree with drug use, but it is evident that what we are doing right now is not working.
>it cannot answer the question of morality

Sure it can, moral realists make empirical claims. Science can test them.
This is a nice AstroTurf campaign by Uber. Regular taxis in NYC already give this information. It is about tracking the taxis, not the customers.

It's kind of crazy that Uber is trying to leverage customer privacy concerns given they recently started tracking customer location data even after they are dropped off.
How can a society that allows drinking alcohol and caffeine ban a plant you can grow on your window cill?

How can a society that will give Ritalin to a child, dogmatically refuse to give a child cannabis based therapy?

Why is the state so keen to control cannabis? Is it simply that the state associates it with hippies? Still? In 2017?
Apart from the fact that medicinal marijuana requires a prescription; so this would require a documented medical diagnosis from a qualified professional at the least.
I understand the evidence indicates otherwise. Particularly the evidence from nations states or regions therein that have legalised various drugs.

Do you have any evidence to support your "deep suspicion"?

Dart 1.21: Generic Method Syntax
WTF. Every product should have an internal bug tracker, and support should especially be able to file bugs against products. Those bugs have just cost the company money by using support resources. I don't understand how this can be hard to understand.
Mildly disturbed that she medicates him against his knowledge with something that we think may be harmful for young brains (although we don't know, because drug laws make research impossible).

We excuse this because she's in a desperate situation and there's a lack of support. But other people in her situation resort to more harmful forms of quackery.

The answer shouldn't be "quackery is fine so long as it doesn't result in terrible harm", but "we as a society fail people with autism and learning disability, and we need to do better".

Really amazing work.

+1 on all of these, especially full background coloring, completeness of children, and more contrast on left-hand children indicator.

Having filled out a bunch of these, I second the idea that the knowledge level of a node should be the sum of its leaves. I "know" CSS, but I don't know certain tiny details of CSS. Showing completeness of knowledge as a percentage would be much more interesting to me.

As an alternative to having to save everything yourself, an import/export as text or json would be great and allow transfer, backup, and third-party tools.
I always name my variables descriptive names. For example, if I am in a loop and the variable represents a "record" I will name it record rather than r.

It's much more readable and you're less likely to get name clashes with other functions (r could be lots of things (even in the same file) - render, record, row, red, right)
Automated stochastically generated fads and hate campaigns as political camouflage -

Soon we can buy actual online cults as easily as stolen credit card numbers :). But I suppose this is already happening at a nation state scale, but only in the mechanical turk sense of automation. Who will be the first automated propaganda unicorn ...
It's certainly possible for drugs to destroy society and the war on drugs to destroy society. The two aren't mutually exclusive, and in fact they're often correlated in the more conventional type of wars: saying that the bombing of Dresden was bad for Dresden doesn't imply that Nazi rule was good for it, nor does saying that Nazi rule was bad imply that the bombing was good for the city.

This is why declaring war is traditionally a last-resort approach, appropriate only when you believe the inevitable evils of waging war are worth enduring to eliminate the great evil you're facing. If the evil you're facing is not that great, war is not the right tool.
Nokia owns the brand, provides it's patents and inventions that come from Nokia Research & Bell Labs. They also have member in the board and have some say on quality of the phones (protecting the brand).

Foxconn Technology Group subsidiaries bought the manufacturing facilities and manufacture the phones. Including feature phones.

HMD Global is the new Finnish company making Nokia-brand devices. It's mostly ex Nokia people.

http://www.nokia.com/en_int/news/releases/2016/05/18/nokia-s...

>Nokia will provide HMD with branding rights and cellular standard essential patent licenses in return for royalty payments, but will not be making a financial investment or holding equity in HMD. Nokia Technologies will take a seat on the Board of Directors of HMD and set mandatory brand requirements and performance related provisions to ensure that all Nokia-branded products exemplify consumer expectations of Nokia devices, including quality, design and consumer focused innovation.

>HMD would be led, once the Microsoft transaction closes, by Arto Nummela as CEO, who previously held senior positions at Nokia and is currently the head of Microsoft's Mobile Devices business for Greater Asia, Middle East and Africa, as well as Microsoft's global Feature Phones business. HMD's president on closing would be Florian Seiche, who is currently Senior Vice President for Europe Sales and Marketing at Microsoft Mobile, and previously held key roles at Nokia, HTC and other global brands.

I think rock is just less regular at a small scale. Consider a flute versus an electric guitar. The flute is at least somewhat like a pure tone which would be easy to compress, while an electric guitar is a mishmash of stuff that will look much more random on a sample by sample basis.
> But I always thought there was another practical reason - old philosophy is referenced all the time in newer philosophy - you have to read the older stuff to kind of learn the "language" of philosophy with all of the issues that have been covered and are still being covered.

Sorry to disagree, but that's a "just so" argument: you have to do this because everybody else does. She asks, "why does everybody else do this?" which is a good question.

My thoughts on this are in another long comment on a different thread so I won't waste your time by pasting them again here.

Cannabis played (plays) a part in Hindu rituals/festivals - Bhaang in holi comes to mind.

Guess which country has rules to bend to the war on terror?
Yeah that's because it's written by people from IT department. They are supposed to write it in the most readable manner since it's their job.

But like others on the thread said, the inherently extreme flexibility makes it hard to write a consistently readable code. You literally need some sort of discipline to consistently write a readable code.
The Informants (2011)
It was, and at no point during that incident was there any plausible risk of the core going prompt-critical or radioactive fuel being thrown into the atmosphere. As I remember it, the most serious risk was that the earthquake or tsunami could have damaged both the primary containment and the concrete "bathtub", so molten core materials could have leaked into the surrounding terrain. That's why they pumped in seawater to try to keep the core from melting down (an attempt which did not succeed).

As far as I know the primary containment for all Fukushima reactors is still intact.

I don't think riding the subway fixes the problem of determining where you're picked up and where you're dropped off (which this rule addresses).

If you have a prepaid pass you use it when you board, at the minimum, your subway entrance terminal is known.

If your phone wi-fi is on, your MAC can be sniffed at entrance and exit. Similar with Bluetooth.

NYC subway stations are blanketed in cameras. You'll be on film entering and exiting.

I'm not able to find it, but 60 Minutes (or similar) interviewed the NYC chief of police and he was claiming most surface streets have near full camera coverage in some capacity between government & private actors.

Using Uber/Lyft arguably gives you less time on camera in NYC.

Edit: `"That's the world we're living in now. Any street, any incident in New York City you get to -- most of the time -- that gets captured on video surveillance," New York City Police Commissioner James O'Neill said at a press conference on Monday.`

By your logic, the states that have legalized recreational marijuana should all be failing right now. Oh and if you were specifically talking about all drugs, Portugal decriminalized possession in 2001 and it was a staggering success. (https://www.thefix.com/content/decrim-nation-portugal-ten-ye...)
My high school English teacher met Tim O'Brian once and had a discussion about Going After Cacciato. They disagreed on whether Cacciato had been killed and ended with "George, I wrote the book; I know what happened." To which he replied, "Tim, I read the book; I know what happened."
I love all these fallacious arguments by analogy. Just name the side effect of weed that you think is problematic, don't try to use some elaborate bait and switch to equivocate.

When you put it that way...

That does not mean they lied this time, but that context makes this question less bizarre than many seem to think
FP is not a methodology alone. It requires language support.

Some languages support it better than others. Some are clearly and only functional, others offer many functional features but not the whole package.

Also, the degree that a language needs to support certain features to be called functional varies among developers. Some languages are very clearly not functional in any way, while others, like C++ since 2011, offer a lot of functional features but do not offer the same paradigms that languages like Clojure and Haskell offer. That's because the other "primitive" a language should support to be fully functional are persistent data structures that can be bashed on by numerous functions without performance cost. Such structures don't exist yet for C++ (though many have tried, and they might eventually), but are the core of Haskell and Clojure.
You've got it backwards. It would be nice if AMD had a programmer's interface and specs comparable to CUDA.

I agree. The questions seemed perfectly reasonable to me. No test is perfect, but if I had a student who couldn't get these questions right, I'd say their reading comprehension was pretty suspect.
Debunking Creationists – Dr. Ben Carson
Doesn't work for headings, list items, etc.

Even when it does work, it's kind of janky to use, because I have to click/move the cursor to the displayed text, and then move it again once the markdown parts appear.

Honestly: the "Source Code Mode" is a lot more appealing: it leaves the full markdown visible, but applies styling to the code, so headings are bigger, bold/italic are styled appropriately, etc.

However: MacDown does this, is open source, and has dedicated edit and preview windows/panes.

Good luck (if you're the author) with this. It's nice to see people still writing proper (i.e. native, not something with a Chrome runtime) Mac Apps, but this one isn't for me.
Agile sprints are a good way to get shipping done.

Make a backlog of tasks.

Set a time for your sprint (2 or 3 weeks).

Estimate how long you think the tasks in your backlog will take (don't focus on being 100% correct in your estimates).

Include what you can given the sprint time and the estimates.

Release at the end of every sprint.

Rinse and repeat.

Except in floating point arithmetic there aren't two equidistant integers.

What I expect is, Mathematica doesn't make promises about stuff that can be affected by an infinitesimal change, with a floating point input. I don't think you can talk about "numbers of the form x.5" precisely with floating point. Mathematica typically behaves differently with inputs 1/2 and 0.5, so I'm not sure what's going here. I guess Round[] works slightly differently, maybe tries to fractionalize the input first.

I checked, and that promise is still there actually, under Details section.

There is an outstanding issue though: it really is the case that contemporary analysis of philosophical issues are far better than historical ones.

Since the middle of the 20th C. every academic discipline, including philosophy, has devloped to the point where there are many new issues -- and of the old outstanding issues, these are presented much more clearly.

There are a great number of mistakes in the history of philosophy which only became apparent after a systematic treatment.

The reason I think, people read old philosophy is due to how academic contemporary research philosophy is. Research conducted on clearly identified and analysed problems exists in journals and in quite forboding books.

Historical philosophy is part of a cultural discussion and is often presented in a simpler, smaller and more digestible way. As far as research goes, contemporary research philosophers in academic depts do not read the history of philosophy. Lay people do.

Not at all: if other people reference old philosophy, you may need to understand old philosophy in order to understand them, regardless of whether or not they should be referencing old philosophy.

Compare: if there is a guy speaking French to you in the US, you need to understand French to understand him, even if it would be a whole lot more effective for him to speak English.
I once helped a coworker fix her not working keyboard in a fun way. Her computer was working fine, and her keyboard worked with any other computer, but not with her own. She tried all the usual things except one: I told her to unplug the computer and actually wait 30 seconds, not just power cycle it.

My theory is that the USB hub had a bad capacitor or some such which needed to discharge fully before communication on that port could happen. Funny thing is that she worked in tech support and would give this advice to others all the time.
Nit: it's not a question. "How does the brain perceive rhythm?" would be a question. "How the brain perceives rhythm" is a promise to explain it to us.

Regardless of what you think of the tests, it might just be possible that writing poems and analysing them is not an identical skill. I'm pretty sure that most professional sportsmen can't analyse why they play a particular shot or pass (other than "it looked good, he was open" etc).

There's probably a separate argument about why we'd want to train generations of passable poetry critics though...
