I posted an earlier version of this about 2 years ago. Since then I've added a bunch of music theory exercises and created a system for teachers to use the exercises in their classes by giving assignments, tracking scores, etc.

The new music theory exercises use vexflow (https://github.com/0xfe/vexflow ) for drawing the staff in addition to midi.js for the sound. The teacher-account backend uses Django.
How much of a transportation system do you think you can build for $180 billion. That's not even a drop in the bucket (no pun) for a place like Houston.
I often wish people would avoid most acronyms completely, especially in online discussions. Sure, you assume I know what some acronym means and it may be incredibly obvious to you, but especially when there’s a global audience, it can be very hard and not all acronyms are easily googled (looking at you, gaming community and game name abbreviations...)

I think its fine to use acronyms in a document if you always write it out fully the first timem or, better yet, have a glossary of acronyms used.
Good and useful idea! Sounds useful!

I feel there's a huge pattern of "proficient in X and Y" opportunities that people underappreciate.

There may be a million people better than you at X, another million better at you than Y, but only 10 better than you at X and Y.

So if an idea requires expertise in both, the chances of success increase substantially. Or at best, there's simply no one who's ever done it!
If you don't mind me asking, why do you prefer working in a linux VM or VPS?

And what are the pros and cons?
Drivers can be built as modules most of the time. Google could still ship a single kernel binary and any vendor that had a weird quirk could load their own module. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if Google requires every driver to be built as a module and they ship a minimal core kernel.

My understanding is that having recurring payments gives a sense of "stable income" for the non profits, and while having massive donation campaigns is obviously helpful, it's much harder to forecast.
Basically yes - the law changed and the banks are just taking advantage of it.

Part of this is that while under investigation they are not allowed to talk to you, and have no motivation to act quickly. I have read in a lot of cases, once they start the process it is very unlikely it will end well. You will, of course, get your money back (assuming you can prove everything they want).

They will close your account and the damage is done regardless if you are guilty of something or not. Quicker for them to close an account, then carrying on investigating a backlog of cases.

Of course, at some point, they will lose customers from a bad reputation but can take years before this becomes a mainstream problem.

I think the odds are small of this happening to you by accident, but it is happening.

This problem has not happened to me but did to a friend and I had to loan him money to pay his rent, bills etc. Took 3 months to resolve. Was with Halifax bank.

Personally, the main problem I have experienced is around credit cards and reducing limits when you pay off lumps sums. Worse still - I had a credit card closed and they took the money directly from my savings account as part of their T&C ability to garnish money from any other source linked to the bank. There was nothing I could do about it.

Lesson learned NEVER have a loan/credit card in the UK with the same bank as the one you have savings or your salary goes into Also, NEVER have your personal accounts and business accounts with the same bank!

The other comments on here about having multiple accounts for businesses can be a little tricky as some banks will not open a second business account if you already have done opened with someone else. e.g I had Lloyds business bank, tried Metro bank but they refused to open until I could prove Lloyds was closed.

> I walked onto the sales floor and asked a sales person if I can silently watch over their shoulder so I can learn about how the companies CRM was used

This is not how things work in big companies. You should have contacted you boss, discuss with him of the improvement suggestions and your plan, so that he may contact the sales boss, and present it to him, emphasizing the performance improvements that could be brought, and, after two of three long and boring meetings, start to schedule a volunteer program where you would monitor specific parts of someone's job. All of this will require weeks (or months) of political discussions, carefully crafted powerpoints, subtle emails that will attempt to balance political interests of each parties, and, if you are smart enough to put key managers ego on a pedestal, your project may succeed (and of course you're probably never going to be credited for that)
i think that topic is larger than the presentation thus far. hopefully memory mapped flash will obviate the need for alot of this but:

o you need to make an on-disk structure (i.e. btree) to let you search your tables (indices)
o that has to be fronted by an in memory cache
o your on-disk structure should maintain consistency even if the power fails and some writes get lost
- often but not always this is facilitated by keeping a separate write-optimized structure called a write-ahead-log
- if you use a WAL, you'll also need to implement the replay mechanisms to get the primary indices back up to date on a failure
o because the disk operations are expensive and high latency you'll need to start managing concurrency explicitly

back ends are alot of work. unfortunately this is a place where the lack of decent concurrency mechanisms in your language and OS interface can really cause alot of headache.

pedagogically, i guess you would start with a completely synchronous non fault tolerant btree? or a maybe just the log, and introduce trees as a read accelerator?
I'm in NL, and my bank disabling access to my account would cause them to be in the 'kantongerecht' tomorrow morning because of the immediate effects such an account closing would have. I'm thinking taxes and salaries having to be paid, indirect damages due to reputation and other immaterial affairs and direct damages because of my inability to pay employees which would surely cause them to leave the company due to breach of contract on my part. I'm 100% sure I could get a hearing in court based on the last one alone.
Sometimes I think the problem is really that two things are being tied together: metrics and a todo list. Almost every sprint planning it ends up feeling like tasks are subdivided in ways that make burn down charts look better. I don't want to say developers are all special snowflakes, but the problems with time estimates on creative work is well known, and I tend to wonder if trying to track metrics on these things is fundamentally misguided.
Vault: access control to tokens, passwords, certificates, API keys, etc.
> It is extremely easy to capture/log all traffic passing between your services

But you would have to create a development environment running the complete micro-services environment on a single machine. Or setup distributed/cloud logging & debug against production. Which is generally easier to do if you use a monolith. Admittedly tools like docker compose and vagrant can help with this.
That it's easy to have an idea, and I wouldn't count it as when I started a project.

> The only way to solve in the short term is to spread the risk across many banks, and never keep your money in one place.

This is always good advice, and when you reach the maximum amount for which an account is insured (100K or thereabouts) it is an absolute must. I have my funds spread over five accounts just in case and make sure you note the legal differences between savings accounts and current accounts, the latter may not be insured in case the bank folds depending on where you are.

Imagine dealing with all of the refugees, chased from one state to another, as every state tries to give itself an economic advantage by deciding who's a citizen and who isn't. The states are already doing this to the fullest extent that they can get away with.

Lawyers typically invoice once per month, by then this should be long over. And if not they're not monsters either, and should given the fact that they know exactly what the state of affairs is be more than happy to wait for a bit.

Another reason to cultivate a relationship with a legal office long before you actually need them.
not a lawyer but be careful, some "products" like a club membership for example, have been ruled as actually securities

in short, any "product" can be a security if there is even a hint of speculative investment activity (and a motivated prosecutor)

really it is less about logic and definitions...this audience wants to parse things and recompile. in law and moreso in regulatory affairs, it is far more about guiding behavior by carrots or sticks to a particular philosophical/moral/politial/economic subjective end goal
Ten years later, many now regard the Bush Administration with actual nostalgia.

And 10 years from today, will we look back to 2017 with the same longing?

Why is every discussion of American politics dominated by the President and their administration? Congress is the part of government that effects long-lasting change, not the President. That's the part of government we need to be paying the most attention to.
Did you read the original comment? It rather explicitly states if you have people taking care of things you get more time. I really don't see the point of your continuous misrepresentation.

The point was about privilege and the average person. Obviously you will have more time if you have people taking care of things for you or are Usain Bolt with food like yourself, but this does not apply to the average person.

If they had the same privilege as Musk they too can work 14 hours a day so it's not noteworthy in any particular way.
> Does international covert intervention count?

If it is done for the personal benefit of whomever authorises it, yes. If it is done for American interests, no.

this is the problem with these regulations. i think know your customer is a good idea and the banks should be collecting this information but they shouldn't be responsible for making the decision. this should be a legal process run by the state.

what you are seeing is what happens when due process is bypassed. if every bank follows the rules in a similar way and
there is a good chance they do because they are acting in a way that is mandated by law then you can be effectively locked out of the banking system. you are being punished even though you have not been convicted of any crime by a court of law.

i don't know what the solution is because the current implementation is quite efficient. but it does mean more innocent people are going to get burned.
This is always oversold as 'untranslateable', when it just means 'can be translated, but not in a single word'.

Read it again – You could nitpick the absolute shit out of any non-trivial work in the humanities--even the great ones--but most people have enough sense not to.

(Emphasis mine.) They are saying that there are trivial and non-trivial works in the humanities. Some non-trivial works are great works. You could nitpick those non-trivial works--even the great ones-- but you'd be wrong to because while you're busy at that you're missing the wood for the trees. To me it sounds like they've read quite a few texts from the humanities, just not Foucault.
Make living on the street a crime, take away people's freedom. Get them on a path back into society by placing them in work camps and reform them. Or, if they're mentally ill, properly hospitalize and care for them.

If you do this, the looming public health crisis can be averted. Otherwise, plague.
At this point you are using policies and procedures to fix misalignment of goals. Seems like something has gone wrong way earlier? I am trying to keep sales and support directly plugged into engineering, with latter being responsible for establishing, policing, and communicating proper scope. It educates sales of what's possible, but also educates engineering of the real-world impact of their action and inaction. We're a still a small company though, I don't know if I can keep it that way.

Using the word "Java" in the human naming, branding, advertising material, etc is not required for technical interoperability and follows the usual trademark restrictions. Getting actual interoperability is protected, calling yourself compatible is a bit trickier.

Having a project branded "Magic Java Bean" with a class name com.mycompany.magicbean requires permission from Oracle, but having a project named "My alternative black magic drink SDK" with a classpath com.oracle.jdbc or java.something does not require any licence, if that particular name is required for interoperability.

TCK, despite "compatibility" in it's name, isn't required for compatibility in the legal sense (it's required to demonstrate compatibility, not as an unalienable part of any component that happens to be compatible) so it can be licenced (or not) however Sun/Oracle wishes.

This is beautiful and fascinating! It Reminds me a lot of this.

Also, can this be used in any functionally meaningful way for code-analysis and/or conceptualizing? Animating a sequence of code execution?
I think people like you should try eating food produced by unregulated companies and see how you like it. Enjoy your sawdust bread.
> To those who can think of themselves as "just a person" living on some kind of neutral substrate

Does such person exist? For example, does there exist a young adult which life has been completely uninfluenced by society? I don't see how such person could even exist, and much less so a whole demographic group.

Male identity carries with it cultural expectations from society, which distinctly qualifies and limits "personhood". Race identity also carries with it cultural expectations, which as you say multiply (or at least appends), limiting the personhood even more. We would need to quantify those expectations in order to unpack the concept of "privilege", a job which in my view is too entangled with culture to actually be achievable. Unsurprising, "privilege" is used as a term that can't be proven or disprove.

Understand however don't need us to quantify how much each limitation is worth. If we look back at equality feminism, we simply need to focus on the basic similarities to find commonalities. Similar we have cultural homogenisation that finds understanding between people by identities into a single global one. Modernism mostly discarded those views in favor of the polar opposite.
This comes right at a time when I started attempting something similar (though I don't care that much about documenting it)

Harmony didn’t shutter purely because they couldn’t license the TCK, but without a acceptable license to the TCK they can’t say they are a certified Java SE or Java EE platform. This meant they had no way to prove or verify compatibility, but they still continued to advertise themselves as an open source Java runtime environment.

Ultimately OpenJDK’s existence was what caused Harmony’s death, since the GPLv2 with Classpath Exception was a “good enough” license for the community (personal and commercial).
Why would you make a voluntary payment to SLC (assuming it was voluntary as most repayments are through PAYE)?

That is quite an unusual thing to do.
> Relying on color to convey meaning is hostile towards the colorblind

Making it equally hostile to everyone is not necessarily a better alternative.

It's possible to design colour schemes that are suitable for colourblind users. Going colourless is not the only solution.

> You should always design your icons in a way that an outline is a good indicator and that a greyscale version works too

Unfortunately designers don't always do this - even supposed design-centric stalwarts like Apple screw this up. The icons in the Mail app for macOS always make me end up spending a fraction of second figuring out which one is which (new mail vs get mail, and archive vs trash vs junk).
Playing Devil's advocate: when you run your site on any provider, except maybe colo'ing, you're also giving them access to that data, as they could peek into the system's memory . Using Cloudflare is just adding a second provider.
The mere attempt feels like blasphemy. Sqlite and its developer are sacred.
Not in my opinion, no.
LE doesn't work here. As the fine article points out, GitHub Pages does not support TLS on custom domains. With CF, this works.

For the sort of thing that you'd host on GHP, this is totally fine in my opinion. In fact, because CF is a pretty good CDN it likely accelerates page load times considerably for Non-Americans.

(I wish it'd be possible to do something similar for readthedocs, which only has one origin and it's located in North America, but alas this doesn't really work).
This sucks. I've recently started contracting in the UK and opened a business bank account with HSBC. I was initially tempted by Tide (https://www.tide.co/), a new entrant with an attractive business banking product, but unfortunately they are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, so I thought twice...
Maybe I should still open an account with them just in case... Wonder if anyone here has tried Tide here?

The thing about JIRA hate (or love), is that it only has a little to do with the actual product. As the article says, crappy process will give you a crappy experience. But a crappy configuration will do just the same. If you're constantly hunting behind menus to get to stuff it's likely that they've enforced some process on to you but not properly reconfigured the screens or transitions so that you get what you need when you need it.

It took a bit of trial and error but on my team we can work almost exclusively from our agile board and have transition screens configured that will collect the info we need when someone is moving things around on the board.

Now, don't get me wrong- the UX needs a lot of work because it is so inconsistent, but I feel like almost every complaint I've ever heard about JIRA could be remedied by a better implementation. Maybe not solved completely, but remedied to a degree that it's not too bad.
Just use Redmine, it worked well for me and fully open source, though I wish it is not on Ruby, not thing really against Ruby, but this is the only Ruby software I had to run/maintain on the server.

> It is really quite annoying to have people who understand nothing about Houston ...

I don't deny that I'm ignorant about Houston.

My point was that there are plenty of cities around the world, larger, older, flatter, hotter, lower population density, higher / lower rainfall, etc that have implemented effective public transport systems.

It's possible that Houston has intractable and unique challenges.

However the handful of places that are claimed to be 'impossible to retrofit public transit systems' seem to be found in the USA (a country with 5% of the world's population, but the bulk of the wealth).

It's possible, also, that the narrative - and this may well have fed civil designs so far - has also fed this belief that public transport just isn't suitable for 'some cities'.

All the ARM boards i know share our same kernel issues. The problem is that DT is basically a configuration, which is accessed by drivers. If a driver do not read it, you must edit the driver. For instance a 2 lines patch [1] is about the fec (ethernet) driver. DT can specify a sleep time before the PHY reset GPIO is toggled. However we need to sleep also after the toggle, hence the patch.
