Interesting, I've never heard of the "peel back" approach, and I can totally understand why it would be instantly satisfying for a beginner in music to get started that way. Do you have any articles or books on the subject manner?

How would this approach apply to a more traditional instrument that doesn't have the advantages of having a "good" sounding sample already preloaded that can be easily layered into a song that you are composing? I grew up learning the violin and it was endless disjointed drills until it was put together in a classical song that I never heard before nor had the desire to play. 8 year old me just wanted to play the theme song to "Jurassic Park" and roar like a T-Rex.
I ride 6 days a week for 1 to 5 hours per ride. 4 training rides, 2 recovery rides, and one off day per week. In terms of energy expenditure, it averages 700-900 calories/hour. A weeknight training crit and/or weekend races often replace the training days mid-season, and the schedule is tweaked for peaking at my A events.

For major events, I'll eat differently. But for general training, I am fine fasting until lunch.

> will it constrain me to its understanding about music

This is actually exactly what I'm trying to prevent. Most of the current solutions only kind of constrain you to a certain tonal space that you can maybe explore but the space of possible compositions is actually insanely large. My DAW is going to try to help you explore all that.

Microtonality is definitely something I've thought about and I think I can make it work but I'm curious to know what do you use currently to compose?

You are both correct and wrong: I want X/0 to immediately crash (fatal error) before the bad data that caused my to try to divide by zero gets propagated farther. Now that I think about it, I really want X/Y where Y is "close" to 0 to crash too.

Of course I made the above up on the spot, but it is a reasonable thing to do for some situations. Those who know floating point math are well aware that dividing by something close to zero tends to result in very large errors, vs the true answer. (particularly if the division is part of a larger calculation)
Advertising needs to filter out fake views, or they'd end up paying for click farms. I don't see how this protects against this.
Depends... If the people knew they had the ability to use this technology for making personal calls or checking the latest weather, sports, etc, then I'd actually believe people would be willing to pay for it.

>Testing is usually regarded as an important stage of the software development cycle. Testing will never be a substitute for reasoning. Testing may not be used as evidence of correctness for any but the most trivial of programs. Software engineers some times refer to "exhaustive" testing when in fact they mean "exhausting" testing. Tests are almost never exhaustive. Having lots of tests which give the right results may be reassuring but it can never be convincing. Rather than relying on testing we should be relying in reasoning. We should be relying on arguments which can convince the reader using logic.

No. That's absurdly low and the company knows it. They also know they can get away with it because you live in a rural area and the IT department is small.

I once met a developer who had been working for Accenture on the same project somewhere in Indiana for ten years who was making 50k. That project ended and last I heard he was making 110K+ at a large Chicago based .com company.

Take a couple interviews and see what other companies will throw your way if you are unhappy with your situation.
My mistake. I haven't been a prime subsciber for many years, and didn't realize that they got such a great deal on the Echo at first.
No, not at all. Your pay is definitely going to be lower than others here on HN because you're in a lower CoL area (I imagine, rural generally is, compared to Bay Area), as well as doing Sys Admin which is less lucrative than development. But even considering both of those factors, that's quite low - I'd check glassdoor for more info on salary ranges in your area, and start shopping around for jobs, either to bring an offer to your boss for a raise, or to take the new job.
In what state is the field of this differential privacy right now? Is anything useful already deployed / expected to be deployed soon, or does it require much more research?
I expect famine would help with weight loss too.

Studies are helpful I suppose, but I wonder if the study showing how the vast majority of people can lose weight will appear in 2050 after the death of the peer reviewers?

Edit: That is, long after it is helpful to any of us.
WebKit is generally easier on resources than Chromium/Blink is, sometimes to the tune of multiple hours longer battery life. So while it's still not lightweight, it's more lightweight than Electron is.
I work from home, so it's doubly bad for me - I don't even have to walk to a car, just the couple steps from bed to my office.

I went to Boston for Red Hat Summit last week and it amazed me just how exhausted I was after all the walking to/from the train stations and around the convention. I used to bike every day to/from work when I was just a couple years younger and never felt as sore and tired as I did every day during the event. I really need to start getting out more, even just walking to the coffee shop 1/4 mile away on occasion and working from there.
Simply saying it is poorly named doesn't, but this sentence:

"Just so you can look this stuff up in The Literature, I'll be providing all these bad names with a Trademark of Disdain™, but otherwise I'd prefer to use Rust-centric terminology."
pretty clearly does.

The TM thing is obnoxious.
Yeah except the timing of the downvotes are always the same, which made me think somebody is doing it on purpose.

Having said that, I believe that there is a ring of high karma accounts manipulating and censoring comments. I see regular comments that shouldn't be downvoted censored because it's critical of some startup/company that has HN users involved.

Anyways, my trust for HN is at an all time low.

In other words it is an explanation, but not an excuse.
Best advice I have is to work on stuff outside of work using a more current tech stack so when OP does jump ship they will be able to transition smoothly and not end up in the same situation.
To be fair, your perspective changes when you're on the other side of the desk. Teacher training in the U.S. is pretty abysmal. The research they're exposed to is largely theoretical or specialized, because that's what your professors have to focus on in a publish or perish world.

Good training would identify the misconceptions teachers are prone to, and the practical application of adolescent psych. There's also an appalling lack of guidance through the states' regulatory framework.
If it's more than just a cost-of-living bonus for high-rent areas, then yes it is. You're saying "Hey engineer A, you're just as good as B, but we're going to pay you less because people that live near you aren't getting paid as much. If you'd like a raise, move somewhere where engineers get more money."

Again, if it's just the cost-of-living bonus (like, all our engineers get $80K, plus $X/month where X is average rent and groceries, plus Y% for taxes) then it's fine. Otherwise it's valuing someone less purely on their geographical location.

Edit: Also, really, overpaying so they might be unhappy? "We're giving you less money for your own good!" Presumably if they're a world-class engineer and can work remotely at one place, they can find another remote job, too...
Yes, studied music on the conservatorium and have been a professional producer for years doing pop and edm etc.. Used most of the known DAW's from FL to ProTools.
Ditto. I had a remote job once, but the hours I got out of it were so abysmal that I had to leave it for a regular office job after just 2 months.
> [...] pour some etchant [...] solder the components

I think that's where the differences would start for most people. In the parent's vision, you could assemble complex PCBs using ordinary office supplies and with little knowledge except about the circuit you want to build.

Today, you'd at least need a dedicated hobbyists' level of space, tools, and knowledge how to use the tools safely.
>This enzyme is present for a reason.

It might be. There is no way to know whether it is there for a (good) reason or not. Evolution doesn't work that way.
Why is other peoples weight so important for you? You choose to spend time in gym focusing about how you look like instead of doing something useful, learning new things or working or simply spending time with your children.

Serious, despite all stereotypes, male dominated tech site seems to put way more importance on look and talks way more about dieting then female dominated sites I frequent. When did the switch happened and dudes started to be like that?
Who would want this Amazon product for every light switch, remote control, and thermostat? No, most buyers will probably just buy one for a household. In that case, I agree that a regular tablet would suffice.

> From what I can tell, 10% of every dollar spent on health care in the US goes towards malpractice insurance for doctors. A system that acknowledges that well-meaning doctors can make mistakes and shouldn't be unduly punished could cost almost that 10% less.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. If you don't pay for the damage caused by doctor's mistakes, you are just offloading part of the cost of your healthcare system onto a few unlucky people. If you do pay for it but it's not paid for by the doctors, you just re-invented malpractice insurance but with a different source of funding.

That's different. Those are additional functionality not a requirement to use the core functionality of the device.
The cost of goods (computers, phones) went down without collective bargaining, and it seems like so did the cost of services (haircuts, plumbing projects, airline tickets). Opening up the supply side seemed to do the trick.

What would happen if US (a) lowered the bar for doctor certification or (b) automatically recognized foreign doctor and nursing diplomas from English-speaking (or Spanish-speaking, to accommodate some states) countries?
The cities that supercharge your career
Yes, there's a systemic issue here. Just as we don't say "Users just need to be smarter!" when a substantial segment of the population is having difficulty accessing our programs, we shouldn't say "Eaters just need to eat fewer calories!" when OVER HALF of the population is getting sick on the food supply.

Try to buy something healthy at your conventional grocer. It's generally tucked away at the far extremities of the aisle if it's there at all, and you normally have to bypass several fake "healthy" options that are really just slightly different formulations of the primary recipe. You have to really hunt just to find something as simple as a loaf of bread that isn't infused with extra sugar. Some loaves that bill themselves as "wheat" are still mostly white bread, etc. There is a large array of deceptive tactics used to get people to buy the more addictive formulations when they think they're buying healthier ones.

IMO this is a technology problem. We have sufficient technology to bring a steady supply of maximally-desirable foods, which, unfortunately, tend to have the least nutritional value. This creates perverse incentives across the marketplace because grocers, suppliers, distributors, and farmers all want to sell more, which means they will always favor the higher-calorie options, because human biology always favors it. It's a really bad place to stall at a technological stasis.

Instead of fighting chemistry and biology and berating those who fall victim not only to their own strong physical inclinations but also to a barrage of marketing tactics designed to trick them into continuing to buy addictive-but-unhealthy foods when they're explicitly trying not to do so, we need to develop technology that makes broccoli maximally-desirable without changing its basic nutritional and caloric properties, or technology that infuses maximally-desirable foods with nutritional and caloric properties akin to maximally-nutritious foods.

I don't think most people are compulsive overeaters. There's a myth among some naive people that every overweight person has a stash of 40 SNICKERS bars constantly at hand and that they eat 10 of these per day. This is not true except in the most extreme cases. The truth is that most people eat reasonably normal amounts and types of foods.

>It isn't really a new explanation, the explanation is still "your metabolism slows and you can't eat like you're 22 anymore"

The new part is identifying the cause and specific enzyme etc.

As you put it its an almost tautological description of the situation, which is not what the article is about.
Plus, .NET Core is the first developed openly on GitHub as open source, so you get the teething pains of seeing how all the sausage is made. On the one hand this is great to see so much transparency and open source collaboration. On the other hand, for a lot of .NET veterans used to only hearing about .NET updates maybe once every three years at a well rehearsed developer conference, the world of open source transparency is definitely a fire hose of information updates and that makes for a very rough transition.
You shouldn't have to decide that up front. Plus someone living in a high-rent area then gets a huge retirement bonus and allows them the option to move somewhere else. Someone in a low-rent area doesn't get that option at all.
It even has a flow-control mechanism (wastegate).

It's gonna be clean and fast, no clutter. Recently there was this on HN https://github.com/peterrudenko/helio-workstation which kind of scared me cause my UI is somewhat similar (but after thinking about it more, I actually find mine a lot better). Also note that the UI is only like 20% of the whole thing, the thing that I'm really trying to improve is the workflows. I will make Hypersphere the fastest DAW in the world when it comes to expressing your ideas

When I'm in the zone, I don't care about check boxes. I have some new user interface paradigms that I haven't seen done before (I can imagine they have been tried before tho) that should make writing music super painless and should let you express yourself.
How much energy do you burn with 20 minutes of walking? A couple hundred kilocalories at most? That's not going to solve anyone's weight problem.

I can agree with you partially that high school in America is really poor in general. Having spent time in an inner city high school during my academic career, I agree with you that at the majority of the time, it felt like I was in some sort of government funded baby-sitting service. Man, I could go on for hours if you asked me about my experience there.

However, when I was a junior, I was relocated, started living with my aunt and uncle, and started going to a really nice public school. The difference was night and day. In fact, it took me weeks to stop walking around the hallways looking ready to bite someone's head off simply because that's just what you did in rougher schools to keep people from picking a fight with you.

The things I found at this nice high school were teachers who cared for my success and worked with me to get there, friends who shared an interest in computer science, UIL computer science academics, robotics, and so many other options and facets that have helped me to get a head start on my career. This school has options and extra-ciriculars that help students become young adults. I remember being on my high school campus an average of 10 hours with all the clubs, extra-curriculars, and athletics I participated in.

Sure, high school is always going to be a transitional time for people. But it doesn't need to be young-adult day care or a few steps up from jail. I earned three college credits and my CCENT in high school.

On the other hand, every discipline that I can think of has its own set of best practices. Why should software development be any different? I know a lot of people are susceptible to the mindless repeating, but that's not a fault of best practices.
As Bruce Schneier used to say, give people the option between security and .gifs of dancing pigs, they will take the pigs every time.

As abused as they are, internet users need to build up some healthy "buyer beware" instincts around the tradeoffs. They'll tell Facebook things they'd never physically say in front of strangers due to the bait-and-switch feeling of talking to friends, forgetting the panopticon around them.

I think part of this is the mystery surrounding data practices - people fall for come-ons they wouldn't accept if they understood what was actually happening. So more and louder talk about things like unroll.me is good - if people hear more about others feeling burned by the bait-and-switch, they'll hopefully be more careful, because they see the results of accepting that anodyne "may share with trusted partners" language.

I don't know. What is their business model? Intuit paid $170M for them, so they're certainly angling to recover at least that much through some monetization strategy. I think it's fantasy to believe that they wouldn't sell your detailed transaction history. It looks like JPMorgan Chase has muscled their way to an exception on that [1], a strong indication that selling data is their MO.

Environment. Its easy to overcome the psychological issues of eating when you are happy and relatively healthy already and in a safe environment. Put yourself in a hyper-competitive environment with high risk and low reward ratios and you can watch everyone start having food issues. That seem initially seemed to be just tech, but no increasingly is America at large.

Not at all (well obviously it would be nice, but highly unrealistic). I'm just saying that claiming the the 'European' systems are so great that they don't have waiting lists or rationing is asinine.

Ask HN: Need advice with open-sourcing SaaS business
I've created https://mljar.com - which is a platform for building machine learning models. I have >500 users, however only ~30 paid something. Users are paying for computational credits. For each user I launch c4.2xlarge instance to train models. Most of users are people that are learning/trying machine learning - they just use free credits and go.

I'm thinking about doing open-source from my platform. So, everyone can download and run it locally for free. The OSS version can be executed only on one machine and models/results will be stored on locally. The SaaS version (for subscribers) can be executed on multiple machines and I will provide machines and storage. The benefits from OSS version that I expect: more people will use MLJAR, I don't need to pay for free users, with more users I will have more feedback.

I hope to make MLJAR more popular with OSS. However, I still want to make money on it to develop it further. I would like to ask you for advice, what do you think about it?
Typically you are limited at compile time because Lisps -- especially Clojure -- do not allow the same computing resources you get at runtime to be used at compile time, so there are some clear limits.

This can be true in C++ as well, but those limits are quite high and are easily set to something else. Perhaps Clojure also allows you to reset what these limits are.

The thing is that once you learn the music theory, few DAWs let you leverage that to be more productive.

Also why do you have to learn music theory first, why can't the DAW teach you as you go?

With all the leverage Medicare spending per capita (and that capita got a pretty huge boost with US population aging and baby boomers retiring) is still growing year-over-year. Their biggest claim to fame is to compare themselves to private insurers, where the growth is even more insane.
