Django solves the pluralizing issues (with some limitations) but it won't (can't) solve gender issues in translation.

But that's a real PART. It's kind of like the Jay Graydon solo in Steely Dan's 'Peg'. Yes, you can have a bunch of exciting notes doing things, but it can't be just any bunch of notes: fast or slow, content matters.

Green Day had their moment, although it has passed.

The Black Keys are good, but maybe not that mainstream.

The best show I've ever seen was Avenged Sevenfold, which is definitely in the metal niche. But I'll never forget when they had a break in the middle of the show, and their lead guitarist came out and just solo'd for a while. Incredible talent.
They pushed everyone from major versions to rolling release.
Nothing of the sort is described, or even suggested, in the article.
There's a whole section near the end of the article about a noticeable bump in sales of guitars to women, inspired by Taylor Swift. You just have to be more flexible about what "guitar hero" can mean.
As someone who plays guitar and writes electronic music, getting good at the latter takes a comparable level of effort. I think you're underestimating how difficult it is to make electronic stuff that isn't terrible.
...yes, that sounds nice. With security patches and drivers for modern hardware.
On the other hand, you have to be a Nile Rodgers to groove harder than robots and sequencers.

On the other other hand… guitars still make some of the best 'pluck' sounds. And I say that as someone who owns a x0xb0x, a JP-8000 and an Alpha Juno. People spend a lot of money on synthesizers that can get even close to the immediacy of an electric string. And modern samplers are so accessible you can take that electric string and do whatever you like with it.
Fwiw, when I got off of Facebook my family decided to explore local churches and found one that has been great. We've made about the same amount of friends there in 6 months that we did living here for 13 years without going there. Plenty of activities too.

When I was on Facebook I found that I was spending significantly more time chatting it up with my friends from college who are all over the country. Not that I don't want to keep in touch with them, but I'd rather be more social with people I can do things with.

Facebook gives you a social crutch. You have to get rid of it and create that gap to feel the need to fill it with something else.

I'm sorry I couldn't understand from your comment, are you saying an electric is harder on your fingers as compared to an acoustic? If that's what you meant, I must disagree, and please read the full comment. Else, it's my misunderstanding of your comment, and I shall delete my reply.

Electric guitar's strings are far more easier on your fingers compared to a steel-stringed acoustic (not comparing classical guitars with nylon strings). Just about everything is easier to play on an electric, starting with barre chords to slides to bends.

Maybe one reason for more blistering fingers on an electric is because people are more likely to do stuff like slides and bends in solos whereas many people use an acoustic just for chords. But I assure you, if you attempt to do the same stuff on an acoustic, it's going to be far more taxing on your fingers.
There's a whole subculture of bedroom producers making instrumental guitar driven music.

I'd say the biggest advantage is that it slots in easily to an existing environment that is not necessarily managed strictly.

I've found depending on how strict your change management policies are, IAM creds can collect cruft over time as people push new policies in ad-hoc. So iamy is handy for such a situation

- iamy can sync in both directions - pull and push IAM config. So you can easily pull down the ad-hoc changes

- In order to use CFN you need to have access, so there is a chicken-egg scenario if you want to manage ALL users in config

- iamy gives you a nice execution plan of aws cli commands, CFN can be opaque

And iamy does ignore any resource managed by CFN, so it works well as complimentary tool.

As Doge would say, "Much faith, wow.". I see it more of a mafia organization. You try to speak out within the org? You'll sleep with the fishes, metaphorically speaking.

> If any would-be-leaker feels the government is doing any wrong doing, he's free to [...] release that information

So Snowden is justified in doing what he did?

I never did address the leak of the hacking tools, IMO that is less in the public's interest and the leaker's motive is probably to damage the agency, but to re-use the Mafia comparison, someone who can see clearly what that organization does (rather than just gulp propaganda from Fox News or Russia Today) probably doesn't feel that bad if his actions damage the org/that is what motivates him.
I have a story that is too long here about my struggles with math in high school, and while I'm maybe not the model CS student for a variety of related reasons, I think that I turned out mostly fine...

None of the symbolic manipulation really made sense to me until I started learning programming (and, much later, mathematical foundations) and how to define these operations. The answer to "Why isn't sqrt(x+y) = sqrt(x) + sqrt(y)" shouldn't be "It's not in the table of 'laws' we're allowed to use". Sure, you can (easily) provide examples where that purported identity is false, but trying to understand why was really hard for me, and I wouldn't accept it until I understood why.

I partly disagree. Access to endless information is great, on balance, but other things are equally important: hands-on tuition, peer feedback, competition.

I think about folks like Lorde; she was writing fully formed, mature, and extremely competent, music at a ridiculously young age. I doubt it could have happened without tech.

Kate Bush was 19 when she released Wuthering Heights (and had been writing for years before that).

Stevie Wonder signed to Motown aged 11. Not sure when he started writing his own stuff in earnest.

[Edit to add, from Wikipedia:

In 1961, when aged 11, Wonder sang his own composition, "Lonely Boy", to Ronnie White of the Miracles; White then took Wonder and his mother to an audition at Motown

First self-penned number 1 hit aged 13. Wow!]
Markdown uses parenthesis? HN software parses markdown in comments to format them?
I think even the most flexible definition of guitar hero shouldn't include Taylor Swift. I'd say that style of guitar - using it for texture under the song - is antithetical to guitar heroism. The guitar became heroic because it broke out of the background music section of the band that supports the singer and became a star in its own right. It was another avenue of expression just by itself. Strumming some chords on an acoustic guitar as part of a song where the focus is the story of the lyrics doesn't require a guitar. It could be swapped with a keyboard, or a mandolin or a piano and it wouldn't really change the song that much.
> Similarly a solo kind of ruins the dancing.

The right kind of solo can accelerate the dancing. 80s pop had it all figured out in this regard: some of the best dance music ever made while also being phenomenal pop music.
It's not only in West Bengal. Tea was still sold in kulhars (kulhads) in North India (from say Madhya Pradesh and up north) some years ago when I used to travel more in trains - this was decades after Independence in 1947. Apart from the disposable factor, I guess another reason may be that the clay pot keeps the tea warm for longer - and it can get pretty chilly in North India in winter, though not quite comparable to more northern countries. It even gets quite chilly in say Maharashtra (south of Madhya Pradesh), more in the interior areas away from the coast, in winter.

Guessestimates are fantastic, this is one of the first things I always wanted to instill in my students (physics).

This until you hit exponential events when guessestimating the exponential part leads to catastrophes. It is worth keeping in mind that the more linear something is, the more useful the guessestimate will be.
The electric guitar is everywhere. It's just not the central piece anymore. It's mainstream, get over it.
Posting some peer reviewed studies would be a good start in convincing people.
The thing is, if EDM's trained probably two generations of producers, DJs and listeners to distinguish the quality of beats based on inhuman, machinelike perfection, you can't really roll that back and try to groove with fallible humans and call that better. So 'canned' only means 'created properly, at leisure, to produce an artifact that's ideal'.

You can manipulate elaborate networks of machines and some of the trance guys are very into that, and it takes a different type of skillset. I've got some ideas on how to incorporate live musical performance into this kind of bionic music flow, but it's important to understand most people won't respond positively to a 'human element' tacked awkwardly onto a machine beat: you need very practiced humans to fit into a context like that, and you need very practiced humans to put together a 'Daft Punk' type human context that grooves as hard as the machines.

And if you work that hard on the human groove it leaves no time to be innovative in the tonal/arrangement zone that EDM absolutely requires, so you end up being like 'wow that's good retread funk' but the real progress is being made elsewhere, in areas you can't really reach.

It's interesting. But just as you can't undistort the electric guitar, you can't un-rhythm the quantized robot rhythm. I'm actually fascinated and delighted with what's been done in trance and psytrance: it's not JUST robot rhythm, it's a very carefully crafted and incredibly demanding thing with no margin for error. You can put a-rhythmic texture stuff across it all you like, but you just can't 'play an instrument' as part of that mix, the timing is way way too tight.

I would disagree. I found the tutorial to be a great length. It showed you game mechanics and basic tactics all wrapped up in something that felt a little like playing a real game.

The only thing I found was missing was some explanation of the 'Does strong damage against' vs weak damage. Possibly there just needs to be a matrix that can be referred to.
Perhaps. But my point is, The Media is VERY biased. And that does affect attention and opinion.

Take for example all this talk of Russia hacking the USA election. How many articles have you seen that ask: Wait. This happened under the previous administration. Why weren't they prepared? Why did the intelligence community seemingly fail again? But instead we get "...and today Trump tweeted..."

Or what about Comey? This is the same guy who used his position and power to try to influence the election (by dredging up HRC emails, etc.) Yet that's forgotten and The Media speaks of him as completely trustworthy? Really? How's that?

I don't mean to bring up politics per se. But it does make it easier to point out for much (so called) journalism is barely grade-school level story telling.

It's embrassing. You can't have a true and honest Democracy without a healthy and proper Fourth Estate.
I did read the article. There is no free, that debt needs to be paid back at some point, passing that burden on to our children is irresponsible.

It's rather silly to compare the US to the UK, financial services makes up a larger part of the UK economy than it does in the US so of course we had a greater impact from the financial crisis.
I wouldn't blame the compiler for missing make_unique in that scenario. Rather it would be nice if compilers warned that u8"foo" is a C++11 construct and any errors following could be due to it not existing in C++03. It never gets to the make_unique because there's another error before it. In C++11 mode, both g++ and clang++ (I tested 6 and 3.8, respectively) complain about make_unique not being a member of std, as expected.
I agree it quite outrageous all the RAM & Size on disk & CPU an electron app requires. But on the other hand what are the other alternative for a one codebase multiplatform app ?

Real OS native UI requires a re-write on each platform unless using libui which is limited to a button, a checkbox and a slider (okay for little app but you won't build a full blown UI editor out of that)

Then there is GTK but it has lots of problems when you want to maintain a multiplatform app, looks ugly on other platform than linux, and performance is not amazing (but with GTK4 and the vulkan renderer it might improve I guess)

At last the only real solution is QT (so it's not like there are zillions of solutions on the native side, there's only QT basically).
And with QT if you use C++ then there's no package manager, all that prehistoric qmake stuff , etc...
Also visually speaking QT is no more native than HTML, it has to emulate the style of the OS but is not using native OS widgets

Also Electron might feel super heavy, but in the future we might one day have Servo (which seems even more efficient that QT by doing everything on the GPU (just as an example it does glyphs rasterisation on GPU unlike QT)) with either javascript (in this case it will be kind of the same as QT + QML&JS) or with WebAssembly. And concerning the size on disk we could provide it as a dependence common to all app using it (for eg as a FlatPack Runtime on linux).

So right now Electron is outrageous but in the future the situation might improve a lot (with an alternative based on Servo if it ever happens)

If your schema is fully normalized then you never have two instances of the same data in more than one place therefore you never have to update two things simultaneously.

Anytime you need a transaction it is because you have the same data, or some calculated derivative of the same data, stored in different places, which is why they both have to be updated at the same time to maintain consistency.
The thing is that you'll need to forever eat a rather low-calorie diet (more so than someone who was never overweight) and often this leads to frustrating, pervasive cravings for food that aren't that different from what people who have undergone starvation experiences report.

> For instance, much of the research assumes that when fat people lose weight, they become “healthy” in the same ways as a thinner person is healthy. The evidence says otherwise. “Even if someone loses weight, they will always need fewer calories and need to exercise more,” says [UNC pediatrician Asheley] Skinner. “So we’re putting people through something we know will probably not be successful anyway. Who knows what we’re doing to their metabolisms.”

> Debra Sapp-Yarwood, a fiftysomething from Kansas City, Missouri, who’s studying to be a hospital chaplain, is one of the three percenters, the select few who have lost a chunk of weight and kept it off. She dropped 55 pounds 11 years ago, and maintains her new weight with a diet and exercise routine most people would find unsustainable: She eats 1,800 calories a day—no more than 200 in carbs—and has learned to put up with what she describes as “intrusive thoughts and food preoccupations.” She used to run for an hour a day, but after foot surgery she switched to her current routine: a 50-minute exercise video performed at twice the speed of the instructor, while wearing ankle weights and a weighted vest that add between 25 or 30 pounds to her small frame.

> “Maintaining weight loss is not a lifestyle,” she says. “It’s a job.” It’s a job that requires not just time, self-discipline, and energy—it also takes up a lot of mental real estate. People who maintain weight loss over the long term typically make it their top priority in life

The writing is juvenile, the band's attitude towards other music is insulting, every album sounds more or less the same, and there's an argument to be made that their fame partially stems largely from a Canadian law requiring Canadian music to make up a certain percentage of radio time. According to sources[0], their new album is getting outsold by Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit's new album, they're a fairly straight country act, so I'm not sure I'm even willing to take Nickelback's popularity as a given in 2017.

Like the other commenter said, Foo Fighters would have made a better example. Maybe Coldplay. Chili Peppers. Look, I understand that art is subjective, but at the end of the day, some art is less subjective than others. Nickelback deserves their spot in the pantheon of groups who get shit on whenever you mention them.

Yeah. A very capable (platinum record making) engineer friend of mine recently linked to a facebook video, a friend of his who'd done a parody song about how easy it was to make a pop song, with just a four on the floor beat and simple chords and less than twenty-five words. It was one of those snarky songs, a parody thing about how trivial and easy it was to do it.

The kick was absolutely potato quality, like something off a Casio. Even I could tell the 'so easy' backing track was garbage. It wasn't even intentionally awful, it was just so horribly meh and uninspired as far as sound choices and the way it didn't groove or show any interest.

LOTS of old school instrumentalists look down on EDM while being completely blind to how it works or how it's done.
