Most beginner guides are "look at what I know about drawing and you ought to but don't." I feel like this one falls into this category, but that's just my opinion. Sorry for the harsh words.

The best drawing guide for ULTIMATE beginners is one that (1) lets them believe they can draw (2) lets them actually draw stuff (3) lets them draw NICE stuff such that they think "wow I can draw!" and become motivated to draw more.

I made these three drawings upside down.

This technique comes from "Drawing with the right side of the brain" and although the science is a bit dated you have one part of your brain (say the left side) that really enjoys naming things, recognizing things, putting things in boxes. This part of the brain causes people to draw eyes like an elipse with a circle in it while this is almost NEVER truly the case. On the other hand, there is the right side of the brain that does mathematics, is rational, etc. etc. This part of the brain is only concerned with shapes, lines, form, direction, etc.

When you turn the reference upside down your left side of the brain shuts down (i.e. it doesn't make any sense anymore) and the only thing you see is lines, forms, directions, proportions. Drawing this way people, who think they can't draw, create really really beautiful drawings!

I remember being struck by the realization of the sheer amount of infrastructure that was necessary to enable to me to wrap a petri dish in aluminium foil when I was doing research.

Like, aluminium smelters are massive...then there's the mining, the rolling, the local, national and international supply chains - all so I can keep a light sensitive chemical in the dark during a 15 minute experiment setup.

I mean this is all true if you use it in the kitchen too (which is amazing) but what struck me was the weird way that progress was enabling progress - something had to go from non-existent to consumer-cheap, and suddenly a whole bunch of science is possible to do easily and en masse.

Exactly, jokes aside, most referendums could be avoided completely by giving people the control over where their tax money should go.
More specific: being too generic can be solved by downcasting in consumers without affecting the module boundary; being too specific cannot be solved without changing inter-module interfaces.

Having a generic callback interface exec(Map(object,object)) is ugly, but better than changing 76 upstream and downstream modules' interfaces with code ownership and release cycles across different vendors/organizations.

Still very silly IMAO. Very, very few recordings are done in 24/192 because of the many implications this has on your entire studio setup.

You'll need an exceptional good clock to start with, and all other equipment needs to align to that clock. Then all plugins/processing you use needs to be in the same 24/192 domain, otherwise your signal is reduced to the limit of that plugin/processing and all previous efforts are lost.

Most music producers use samples, most are 16/44, so what's the point to try to get that to 24/192, filling the signal with zero's..

If a piece of music is in very rare occasion truly 24/192 then the listener who downloaded the track still needs a exceptional good clock (that are both expensive and hard to find) to playback without signal reduction.

IMAO 24/192 is just a marketing thing for audiophiles that don't really understand the implications. 24/96 should be a reasonable limit for now, although personally I think 24/48 is enough for very high quality audio.

Don't want to because it hurts your pride, or don't want to because it has a practical impact on your ability to compete in your actual market?

Amazon/AWS is not going to fail because Target took away their business. But Target could easily screw up transitioning to another provider, and end up paying a lot in terms of money and wasted effort. Money and effort that would have been better spent improving their core business. Target should concentrate on build a better retail business than Amazon, not worrying about whether that business is built on top of AWS or some other cloud provider.

It's like how Apple compete with Samsung in the smartphone market, but still relies on Samsung as a central component supplier for many of their devices. I'm sure Apple execs would prefer not to give Samsung any money, but they're also smart enough to realise that using only non-Samsung suppliers simply for the sake of it would ultimately be a self-defeating move.
Well, SACD at least offers one further advantage than lower compression: multichannel audio, which is a big deal for classical music, especially works involving spatialization. Investing in a SACD player is well worth if that repertoire concerns you.
The data is stored on Google's server, therefore can be accessed by the NSA, FBI, CIA and by the However-Many Eyes' intelligence agencies. All of those places can be breached, can accidentally leak your data or can even change their mind about keeping your data secret. And given that they're most likely storing this data indefinitely, that chance is 100%. It's going to become public at some point. How long it takes until that happens and how accurate/harmful that data then still is to your current life is a different question. But personally, I see no reason to unnecessarily risk that.
One one of our boards, we had intermittent USB failures (sometimes after 5 minutes, sometimes after 13 days of continuous operation) that were ultimately caused by slightly misaligned/misspaced USB D+/D- traces. We ended up having to force usage of USB full speed mode for USB high speed devices via a debug register (not unlike the article's case). Makes me feel slightly better that even people much more competent than I end up having to use such workarounds.

What a terrible idea.

It's also a terrible article, since the conclusion isn't supported by the rest of the article. It gets in to some things about these new large companies that have problematical aspects but just grazes by on what those problems are. I guess the evil can just be assumed?

Since the main problems haven't been clarified there's no way to argue about if or how nationalizing would help solve them.

Meanwhile nationalizing has some huge issues of its own which aren't even hinted at here... (1) do we want the government controlling the platforms for our scocial interactions, purchases, and information retrieval? (2) these are global companies so you'd have to break both the company and the platforms they run by political boundary. How is that not nonsensical? There are other issues, but I'll leave it at two fatal flaws for now.

As an alternative, why not regulate the problematical aspects of these companies? Let's figure out each one and determine a regulatory framework that lets us get to the root of the problem without stifling, and develop the regulations to drive it.
Even a rule of 2 would be helpful in a lot of code I've worked on.

It seems like nobody wants to build a function to do the thing thats needed, they have to build an abstraction or a framework.
You ought to have read the rest of this thread before leaving this comment. I’d be very happy with 24/96 or 24/48 if I could get recordings at that bitrate that aren't given a loudness wars treatment. Since I often can't, I have to go for 24/192 or SACD even if all that extra room is completely superfluous, just because that format was decently mastered.

> Most music producers use samples...

Most people interested in better-quality sound in this particular context aren't listening to contemporary electronic music with samples. 24/192 or SACD is so desirable for reissues of older recordings in pop or jazz genres where those formats were mastered with higher dynamic range, while the available CD versions or lower-bitrate downloads were mastered with loudness-wars compression. The format is also attractive to classical music listeners, because SACD gives you multichannel audio; and some classical labels are now giving loudness-wars treatment to the non-SACD or non-24/192 formats of a particular new release.
this one has a ton of features https://github.com/FedeDP/ncursesFM
well written and commented C code.

full list of features: https://github.com/FedeDP/ncursesFM/wiki/Getting-Started

just to name a few advanced ones:

* Search support: it will search your string in current directory tree. It can search your string inside archives too.

* Basic print support through libcups.

* Extract/compress files/folders through libarchive.

* Powermanagement inhibition while processing a job (eg: while pasting a file) to avoid data loss.

* Internal udisks2 monitor, to poll for new devices. It can automount new connected devices too. Device monitor will list only mountable devices, eg: dvd reader will not be listed until a cd/dvd is inserted.

* Drives/usb sticks/ISO files (un)mount through udisks2.

* Distro package files installation through packagekit.
> At no point did they ever consider the history of that rule or that it doesn't make much sense applied to consent forms.

Or maybe they did?

> At no point did they ever consider that there might be a hospital somewhere that bans pens for whatever reason.

IRBs are part of each research institution. The unspoken implication in OP's story is that the psychiatry department of his hospital had never conducted research with humans before him. At least not any research that required consent. If they had, they would have faced the need for pens. "Requiring IRB review and a consent form" is almost the opposite of an edge case for a research institution.

> Some rule that might not be so bad or make sense in isolation. But combine it with 10,000 other rules, and total weight becomes overwhelming.

I can't really feel that steps like being forced to blind your data, or to store that data somewhere it can't be read by random people, are overwhelming, nor ludicrous, nor indefensible. I understand that learning by hitting walls is frustrating, but those things are proper experimental procedure. Maybe his professors should have had a lecture about them (mine did). Or maybe it was the purpose of that video that he thought was a waste of his time because he's not a Nazi.

> Even the IRB failed to complain or notice this "danger". They never complained that pencils were too dangerous

If I'm reviewing that application and on the risks section I see "paper cuts lol", and the applicant then asks me to allow pencil signatures because pens at his department are a risk, I would conclude he's not taking any of it seriously enough.

https://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/05/world/europe/entrusted-to.... It isn't just The Pope's notes, but notes that predate his inauguration as Pope, and it isn't just about retention, but about publication.

Both retention and publication go against the wishes of the deceased, but I would see putting them in the Vatican Archives for a few researchers to peruse as a lesser transgression than putting them in a book for all to see.

I agree with you that there is probably a legal or moral requirement to retain the notes of Pope John Paul II, and that may override his personal wishes (though, again, in an archive, rather than in all good bookshops).

You are also correct that it may be difficult, or even impossible to separate JP2's notes from Karol Wojtyla's notes after 1978, but what about before? Are the notes of Bishop of Ombi or the Archbishop of Krakow also as important? How far back does the corporate entanglement go?

As far as we know the universe isn't discrete like a cellular automata. So it's state contains infinite information for starters. I'm not sure what the current theories of physics say, but I don't believe the universe is finite in time or space either. And who knows what new discoveries physics might make in the future and what weird math it might require. There's no a priori reason to expect the universe to be modelled by finitist math.

But even if we knew for sure it was, so what? Theorems about real numbers apply perfectly well to finite approximations. You don't gain anything by restricting yourself to finite math, and you lose quite a bit and make a lot of things much harder.
