> The song is in E major, yet G# major and A minor are not chords in that scale.

Guitarists learning scales? I mean like the names of the notes rather than the shapes they make on the neck? I am suggesting that knowledge of musical theory had no part in this at all. You need to think in the terms of an indie guitarist of average ability like Thom Yorke. Open, the fret after the one with the dot on, the next fret with a dot, now take your little finger off. That is how I learnt to play Creep in the mid-ninetees! That is how (non-classical) guitarists tend to learn, and why so many people can play guitar.

> Firstly, no. All the white keys are consistently in one key, e.g. C major

I always think about LinkedIn as a "light scam". LinkedIn always pretended to help businesses and employees but indeed they don't do anything special to match people except for recruiters, which at the end it is enough with a search. To put it straight, it is not a Tinder for business.

I tried many paid services like Ads, Premium, and API. They are subpar. I recruit better via Reddit than via LinkedIn, you can post in a group with hundreds of thousands and it is a ghost town when nobody pay attention. they refuse API access for obvious uses, etc.

I'd like to see this issue get more attention. However, I did think this was already known — anecdotally, I've not really been able to view public profiles ≈50% of the time without hitting an auth-wall.

What I'd like to know more, is if LinkedIn tracks non-logged-in viewers somehow. I have an inkling there's some kind of cookie-mongering taking place that informs the person's profile that you viewed who you are (if they are able to ascertain that). It's just an inkling, but strong enough to make sure I'm always browsing others' profiles in Incognito.

"...releasing a cover without permission...is not ok."

I have to disagree with this. And it's already allowed with Compulsory Licensing. The writer of the song gets their cut as specified in the law.

As to the rest of your comment, I don't think you mean "broad protection." Broad protection is exactly what allows 'silly' lawsuits. Something that's "too similar" gets into trouble because the protection for the original is too broad.

Now, making a transformative work based on others is where I feel things get interesting and there should be lots of flexibility and leeway for the transforming artist. But how that could possibly be codified into law I have no idea...

What’s the point, though, in learning about a vintage machine? It’s fun for hobbyists but it’s not useful for real life. That’s the point. The industry has changed and old dinosaurs, which I consider myself a part of, have to adapt.

For example I hate dependency injection. I despise it, I think it’s stupid. But my company does this, so I do it. Many other companies are doing it. I adapt or die.

I felt the same way, but its not because I distrusted the government. The situation didn't feel like one wherein nuclear missiles would start being fired (or any missiles of any kind).

There's got to be some sort of build up before a conflict before it can't catch people in shock (hence the rational of actual surprise-attacks).

There is no such thing as creating an original. Everyone and everything is inspired in some or many ways. You consciously or unconsciously select your source(s) of inspiration. The guitarist of Radiohead is not playing some never played before stuff, it's the basic guitar thing millions of guitarists play. Everybody is copying everybody, changing only slight bits.

The whole music industry is stolen. And the worse part of this issue is that Radiohead is not making a dollar less because of Lana Del Rey, instead they just want to make some more of of her.

For some reason most people in this world want to own too many things they never should own in the first place. Intellectual property should only come into play if it really harms the 'original' authors revenue because of a straight copy.

They are clearly lying, that much is certain.

The question is why, and there are far too many rabbit holes to go down for this one. For now I'll just settle for "bad people stirring things up for terrible reasons".
Since the domain and range of any integer operation are the same, the only way for such an operation to be reversible is if it maps every input to a different output. That means that the set of reversible integer operations is exactly the set of permutations on the integers (for a specified number of bits). So how many unique permutations are there for the set of 32-bit integers, which is a set of size 2^32? That would be (2^32)!, a very large number indeed.

Incidentally, multiplying by an odd integer works because when working in mod N space, multiplying by any number that is coprime with N yields a permutation, and since for 32-bit integers N = 2^32, the only prime factor of N is 2, which means that N is coprime with all odd integers. (I'm assuming unsigned integers and wrap-around behavior on over/underflow.)
I believe in the next 2 decades human programmers will be replaced by artificial intelligence.

You said "there's not many chord progressions to be found inside [a chord progression]".

Pop music is free to get more complicated, using reharmonization, voice leading, instrumentation and every other trick in the "real music" book and stop 1/4/5ing us so hard. We (the audience) just love repetitive bullshit too much. It's our fault.

Jazz, although built on a (less) restrictive harmonic foundation, tends to not have this problem, because the musicians and the audience are more talented.

>Electronic artists are limited by the rules programmed into their software, and very few people realize how severely limiting those rules are - they make 99% of the decisions for you.

That isn't remotely true. Yes, you can choose to quantize to a 4/4 grid, but that isn't mandatory. You can choose to operate in equal temperament, but it's relatively straightforward to work microtonally in most DAWs, particularly Reaper. Hugely popular instruments like Xfer Serum, ZynAddSubFX and UVI Falcon have full support for microtuning.

IMHO, it's far easier to make properly weird music in software than with traditional instruments. You have a vastly greater range of timbral choices, you have total control over intonation and you can program complex polyrhythms that would be far beyond the abilities of most professional musicians. If you really want to go balls-out on the weird, just learn Pure Data - there's literally nothing that it can't do.

> A Unix system resembles a dust cloud of tiny pieces of technology, each piece serving a distinct purpose, each piece replaceable, each piece deterministic. No piece attempts to solve a problem that’s unreasonably hard; together, they are too complicated to be held in any single brain at once. Unix is inherently social, and created social behaviors we all still benefit from.

Can't help to think about systemd not fitting at all into this philosophy.
Off-topic, but if the book you’re referring to was the How It Works encyclopedia set, that was how I also learned about everything. My grandpa gave the set to me, and it included an incredible amount of material - illustrated and fascinating for a wide range of ages (this was long before we had internet). It is how I also learned about nuclear weapons, though I don’t specifically recall fallout shelters.
There should be a third mapping there---"neither". I got 99% British with my normal (more or less foreign-accent-free) speach and a whooping 88% British with the heaviest Polish accent I could produce.
I wasn't in Hawaii, but I also imagine that I would assume that an alert like this is a false alarm. I've just lived through too many scenarios like this, albeit not on the same scale (think false fire alarms.)

Upon reflection, however, this seems like the definition of survivor bias.
> but given the fact that studies like the above show that it is becoming much more prevalent in society seems to suggest there might be societal/structural causes that are effecting the trend, or at least positively affecting its growth in society.

I'm not a social scientist, but if I were to guess I'd say it has to do with our cultural emphasis on objectivist thinking. We are very much told that the only way to approach life is to act in one's own self-interest. Connecting with other human beings is very dangerous to us, you see, because to love something is to give it power over you, and that's not in your self interest is it?

Hard to say. There are entire ghost cities in china because people cannot afford to live there. If an economy crisis hits china it’s possible that the entire world is in trouble (though not all countries). These things are hard to predict but china more or less uses local workers and materials. Only companies and people’s investments tied to those companies would in theory be in trouble.

My current job is converting a growth project into a sustainable and maintainable service. The code is the worst production code I’ve ever seen in 25 years. I’m shocked it works. Everyone that worked on it was fresh grads and it’s shit code for the most part.

But is it inherently wrong? No. It introduced a new feature quickly, a lot more quickly than I ever could. The code i produce is maintainable and relatively bug free but I couldn’t have gotten it up and running as quickly as these kids did.

Also the business decided this is what they wanted to do. Invest a low amount of money to see if the feature works and then if it does pass it onto more senior programmers that turn it into a real service. If it doesn’t stick then throw it away.

It’s not the best, and I would never employ it but it’s one strategy and works if your care more about growth than efficiency.

Just recently I have written a "Machine Learning for Web Developers in JavaScript" blog post [0]. If you are a web developer, it might be interesting for you. It outlines my approach of learning it and gives a couple of great resources for JavaScript enthusiasts. Otherwise, I will just post a couple of the materials I used below. It's not only video courses, because I believe it's always useful to stimulate all senses.

Almost all miners use a mining pool so wouldn't have access to these tricks. The pools on the other hand...

I used to have an Ethereum mining operation, before it became unprofitable to do so. It was one of the most fun ventures of my life. All the cards and enormous heat and fans exchanging outside air in. It felt like I was part of something futuristic and new, solving problems I had never had experience with before. I miss it very much, I wish it could have gone on forever.
The likelihood of this being the case seems so close to nil. For one, the coverup required would involve thousands of military and non-military personnel. But secondly, if we really did destroy an incoming warhead, well, that would constitute an attack — the attack — and I can’t fathom the US military not counter-attacking.

So no, I don’t think you have to worry about that. Just a fat fingering, no more.
Yeah, people with C++ experience have an advantage when learning Rust, since they're used to these concepts, and the Rust compiler enforces things they already know to be careful with (like not mutating a container while there's a live iterator to it). On the other hand, Rust lacks some things C++ has like being generic over values instead of just over types, so for instance implementing a trait for every fixed-size array of a type is currently AFAIK not possible (the usual solution is to use a macro to manually implement the trait for every size up to 32).

It’s interesting how people (anecdotally) don’t seem to have any plan for a nuclear attack, as opposed to, say, an earthquake or a fire.

I think there’s a stigma around even considering the possibility. However, it makes sense to at least talk with your family about what you would all do.

According to what I’ve read on the gov sites, it’s very survivable for a lot of people if you take key steps: surround yourself with as much building as you can (the middle floor of a high rise, or a basement three stories deep, etc.) Shower and dispose of any clothing that may be contaminated. Wait out the initial 24 to 48 hours until you’ve gotten official instructions (a hand crank radio is good to have.)

Generally, having a first aid kit, water, and food, is common sense for any potential outage of the infrastructure.

Sucks to consider the possibility, but worth having a conversation.

LinkedIn is a weird, weird place.

There's always people wanting to add me, but then they mostly don't introduce themselves. Even half of the recruiters who add me don't do an intro. How is that networking?

The articles seem pretty low quality. Sorry to say it, but a lot of them seem to be written as a form of homework, as in "you should write something to be seen". There's rarely any insightful comments on news pieces either.

With a few jazzy exceptions, you can play any pop/rock song by sliding an open E chord up and down the neck and sometimes taking a finger off.
