I'm not going to use a term the MPAA/RIAA co-opted and pushed into our language, despite the success of their marketing efforts over the last few decades.

If you want to equate murder, rape and plundering from and often enslaving strangers with the concept of unauthorized copying, then that's your prerogative. I won't judge, but I'll still call it either unauthorized copying or just sharing.
Why do you think the merchant needs to lock up funds? If his exchange supports Lightning, the merchant would never need to worry about the fact that transactions won't hit the blockchain (if nobody is cheating or losing connectivity).
Sure. Hyperledger Fabric 1.0 has the option of "Channels" to limit viewership rights. In particular it restricts rights to a subset of the community. For example, you may have a 1000 parties in the community, but a particular channel may have only three (say A, B and C).

Now, if one takes a Supply Chain example (a domain I'm quite familiar with), most transactions cannot be restricted to just parties A, B and C. Some will involve A, B and D and some will involve B, C and F etc. So, it is difficult to come up with a suitable Channel membership model.

Even if the transaction is between A, B and C often the view rights are not symmetric. For example in a drop ship case where A is the Buyer, B is the seller and C is the fulfiller, the price attribute may need to be visible between A and B but not C. This is not possible with the Channel approach.

So this particular type of hard partitioning only works for the simplest Supply Chain examples.

Another type of hard partition is to partition by Transaction. But this involves issues such as synchronization between transactions. This becomes an off-chain concern with major consistency issues.

Hope this helps.
So how long can I safely look at the eclipse WITHOUT glasses.

Yep, the Nazis are just upset about authoritarianism on the left. They don't actually want to kill jews or black people or anything. They just want to peacefully protest the fact they can't say such things right? Maybe we should try appeasing these fascists, because that worked so well last time?

As a somewhat beginner in French (basically no formal education, but completed the English -> French DuoLingo course and daily reader of childrens news in French from 1jour1acu.com) one thing that intrigues me is how much easier it is to say emotional things to a stranger another language, for example, saying "tu es très séduisant" to someone (you are very seductive/attractive) feels very easy/natural, where as saying similarly the same phrase in English, to someone from England, would feel hard for me to do. I'm not sure if that is partly because there is a sort of disconnect, or whether it is because you know there is a language barrier that absorbs any potential embarassment.
You know what is a great database with all those properties?

Your folder with git. There is nothing that you cant do with git that you can do with blockchains as a database.

About the BFT part, it fails the mention the very important part that it doesnt work without proof-of-work.

So then when should we use p-o-w blockchains?

In normal CPython, you can design your C extension (such as bzip2) to release the GIL while it runs. This is one of the few times when threads are useful in Python. It's also why scipy etc are as fast as they are.

I don't know if the bzip2 module does this, but it probably should.
I think it's plausible. The research in the book The Spirit Level supports the notion that more equal societies have their members less stressed, across the whole social hierarchy. There is also interesting research from Robert Sapolsky about this.

All we're doing here is separating logic from syntax -- which totally makes sense.

Ironically, a lot of business software development works like this (not that it should, just that it does). You have a bunch of BAs who churn out flow charts and hand them over in the form of requirements to developers who implement that logic via syntax.
Single mouse click, enough said.
There's often an unwillingness to make the financial commitment to a good instrument when "I don't know if I'll stick with it" (or much worse, parents saying that about the child getting their first guitar!). So you're supposed to learn on a "beginner guitar" (i.e. a shitty guitar). It's so much easier to learn on a good instrument.

And good instruments don't have to cost a fortune, either. If someone wanted to learn electric, I'd say just buy a new Squier (by Fender). They're crazy good guitars. And at the $500 or so mark, modern Chinese-made acoustics start getting really, really good.

The main issue is that the effort it takes to setup and maintain it greatly outweighs the amount of money we get (typically). There is also complexity with taxation, jurisdictions and all kinds of mess that is usually very much not worth couple dollars (e.g. $7/week on gratipay for example)

Rocksmith works with Bass and Guitar and is a lot of fun. Its basically rock band with real instruments.

It has some basic video lessons too.

The guitar <-> usb cable works with other programs too, though the reverse is not true (you needed to use the rocksmith adapter cable with the program).

I don't think the amp is an issue these days. I've got a mini amp I plug straight in to the guitar (gives about 8-10 hours of playing time between recharges), and has headphone jack for when I'm playing but don't want to disturb anyone else (for example when playing late at night).
The big thing that's been driving me away from learning is the necessary hardware/Software to create the tones I want. Rather than folk/rock, I'd like something like the ghostly effect of https://youtu.be/mP194XwD2Wc . But audio hardware is expensive and isn't something I can directly research. I made a little jump a month ago and got a condensor mic and a Scarlett Solo mixer, which can do both XLR mic and 1/4 Jack for guitars. So far I've gotten it to play-back in realtime with effects in Ableton lite, but no idea on the guitar or other hardware needed to make that sound good.

> HTTP is the transport layer

No, HTTP is the application layer. TCP is the transport layer.

> and any application specific scenarios are best handled with a custom error namespace that can be returned within any 2xx HTTP response.

No, generally application errors should be 4xx or 5xx codes; greater detail can be provided in the payload, sure, but a proper error condition should be returned, 4xx for errors resulting from the client request being unacceptable in some way, 5xx for other errors (which are, necessarily, server errors.)

(If you are tunneling another application-layer protocol over HTTP, your argument makes sense, but that's not the general case with APIs.)

For example, Python makes it fairly easy to trap a call to a missing method, both via __getattr__ and __missing__. In JS the only way you can do that is via Proxy objects, and even those have limits.

You can't always inline the arithmetic ops effectively. You can recompile the method each time it's called with different types, but that's why the warmup time is an issue. This wouldn't be a problem if Python didn't make it so trivial to overload arithmetic. JS doesn't.
>The only task done directly by Elsevier staff is the copy-editing once the article is accepted.

Elsevier is looking to fill salaried positions for their editorial staff. This qualifications are scientists with PhDs. Examples:

https://www.glassdoor.com/partner/jobListing.htm?&jobListing...

https://www.glassdoor.com/partner/jobListing.htm?&jobListing...

Either the meme that Elsevier employees "do nothing but spell-check LaTeX markup files" is wrong ... or ... it depends on the particular journals in question. For the job listing examples above, one of the job duties is curation of content (e.g. "assessing submitted research papers") and not just copy-editing. So for that Elsevier imprint (Cell Reports), if you submit a paper about "GMO foods proves Darwin Theory of Evolution is Wrong", their unpaid reviewers won't even see it. One of Elsevier's editorial functions is to filter that crap out.
If that held up, I wonder why (at least from the article) it seems that parents thought the same.

I've been playing mandolin for 12 years. I still like to look down and watch my fingers move in awe that it is possible for them to move that way that fast. It doesn't seem real that my fingers can move that fast even while they are doing it.

15 minutes a day is a good goal when you start. When you first start that is all the longer you can stand listening to a bad rendition of trivial tunes. When you get better you can stand listening to yourself play longer and longer, and your practice time can increase. Don't push too fast.
This is a really good idea, separating the logic from the syntax. I remember when I was learning database design and they taught us using Access, so we didn't get bogged down in the syntax. When I had to switch to Oracle professionally, I noticed I was constantly translating what I saw in Access to the PLSQL in Oracle. After a while, I just thought in PLSQL rather than Access.

Something I've noticed all the years, teaching is HARD. Well, teaching effectively and efficiently is.

tldr: buy a guitar whose neck fits the size of your hands.

Excellent points by @beat. One other aspect for new guitarist is neck size: if you have small hands buying a guitar with a 'baseball bat' style rounded neck makes it very hard to play barre chords and difficult stretched chords. Conversely large hands and fingers need a longer fret board and deeper neck.

I have a halfway decent solution to this problem.

Currently, I'm working on a web-based game development language. Essentially, I would like to create a simple programming language, like BASIC, Lua, or others, and provide built-in libraries for 2D game making.

Much of my formative programming experience was using using Blitz Basic, a game language. As a teenager, I was able to use it to create games easily.

With all of the visual and graphical game development kits available today, I feel that it has become more difficult to learn programming in the way that I did. Providing a programming-based offering is the only solution, I think.

When constructing functions and loops to coordinate and move or draw sprites, I think it becomes much easier to think about the logic of a computer program and how that knowledge can be practical.

If you're calling into C, you can disable the GIL from C for the duration of the call. You have to re-enable it again before the call returns and you have to be careful not to call any of the Python C API calls that rely on the GIL (reference counting and such for sure). Of course, if you want to do this, you can't simply call into a random C library directly but have to write a C stub.
No no, that is not my point of reference only.

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear there. Under-specified security properties. Although they (and TLS, honestly) do a better job than others, in their protocol documentation they really don't go to any lengths to describe what actual security the protocol provides - just that it is "secure". This makes verifying these protocols nigh impossible - and usually you end up with the analyst having to reverse-engineer what security properties they think the designers wanted the protocol to ensure.
Indeed there can be profits gained from FOSS but they are required, and FOSS still doesn't meet the "private" ownership qualification of capitalism.

Uh what? If the request was appropriately formatted, not too large, and generally acceptable to the server from a transport perspective, why shouldn't it succeed with a 200?

Error handling is an application level concern, not a transport level concern.

HTTP status codes lack the nuance required to inform the end user about errors in any non-trivial application. I personally enjoy the OP's solution. I've worked on dozens of REST APIs in my life, and I always prefer those that contain a response envelope complete with metadata and error responses.

Pre-emptive edit: When I say error handling is an application level concern, I don't mean "application" from an OSI model perspective, which is narrower in scope than what I'm talking about.
I don't think it is - after learning how to build things in Scratch, one still has to transition to a language with different syntax which is text-only. What was presented in this submission might just be the solution that helps reduce the anxiety of transitioning from icons to programming languages with text-based source code.

Unsurprisingly! They didn't exclude male characters, so if you ask for short hair, you'll be more likely to be drawing from a male-biased area of the latent space/noise.

In the US rural teens have more sex than urban teens. One of the theories of why this happens is boredom. Rural teens just don't have as many activities to fill their day as do urban teens.

I wonder if something like that can explain at least part of this finding. The West during this time underwent massive technological and social change, compared to the Communist countries. In addition, in the Communist countries, complaining could land you in prison (see the Stasi and their informant network). Unless you wanted to risk your life escaping, the best coping strategy was probably to shut up and have sex to relieve your tension.
You're begging the question, though - do modern practitioners actually know the "proper mechanics" for a sustainable career or has something been lost from singing techniques of an earlier age? Brilla and Paglin, the coaches profiled in the piece, clearly think so.

Sorry, are you saying that the People's Republic of Bulgaria was not run by Bulgarian Communist Party? Or are you saying that there wasn't a People's Republic of Bulgaria or that the Bulgarian Communist Party wasn't communist? Or something else?
Why do you think that?

As far as I know, it was ruled for 40+ years by the self called communist party, and the means of production were owned by the state.

They might not have been part of the USSR, but they were pretty communist as far as I can see.

I really wish the NYTimes didn't publish crap like this: "here's a marginally significant observation about two groups of people and here's a bunch of anecdotes that purport to explain the difference." It's a just-so story wrapped in a veneer of history. At least deal with the subject critically, discuss whether the observation is significant or whether the method (anecdotes, in this case) being used to explain the differences between people is robust. Ask a follow up question: "If X is true, we might also expect Y."
It's a very long reverb, probably with an EQ either in the reverb effect or after to roll off all the high.

Go to a guitar store with a lot of pedals or check out the Knobs videos on youtube. Find one with a long reverb time and a tone control.

A mandolin is probably the most logical in this area. Tuned like the violin, but you get frets and don't have to learn the bow.
Can you actually prove that I'm wrong or are you going to admit you're a liar? Because there's a big problem with your non-argument so far since you assume that the discussion isn't about victim blaming when the grandparent comment was victim blaming. So yeah, you need to really get your argument out and not latch onto the inconsequential things in my argument you don't like (like the tone or whatever). Either stand up and deliver an argument or go away.

Edit: Also down voting me won't make your argument correct.
Yes, CRTs used electric fields to accelerate electrons, no such things with LCD/LED displays. Not to mention those claims are probably bogus.

Yes, but fixing the action involves fairly permanent alterations to the guitar, the fact that setup requires an expert is yet another reason I don't think acoustics are a great place to start for beginners.

Here's my $0.02: Learn barre chords straight away. Don't waste your time learning all the open chord songs you can before you jump in. Jump right into it. Open chords will be easy down the road.

Training your hand to barre strings with one finger, while moving the rest independently, is the most challenging, and the most rewarding thing to learn. It opens up so many doors to your playing.

They're a newspaper, not a scientific journal. They commissioned a piece from an academic working with the subject. That's already a step above most newspapers who'd just have a journalist write something themselves.
People looking at this should also look at the Circle of Fifths (google away). It shows intervallic relationships between notes and chords, from the most consonant to the most dissonant. Most folk and rock music is built on the Circle of Fifths.

For example, for a G, the adjacent notes on the circle are C and D. If you're playing in the key of G, you will probably have C and D chords as well. Millions of songs consist of just G, C, and D. Likewise, A/D/E, C/F/G, etc. So the basic 15 "cowboy chords" are enough to play countless songs in several different keys.

More importantly, once you get the sound of Circle of Fifths changes, you'll find that you can easily play most songs entirely by ear, in any key!
Western guilt about imperialism is not even a mainstream thing. The U.S. media and pundits routinely celebrate American imperialism without calling it so. There are U.S. military bases all over the world, and not many feel any guilt about it.

Columbus Day is still very much a thing and Queen Elizabeth is still very much of a celebrated Queen of England and a source of pride. Many more examples abound.
