> The sound quality isn't better

For some bands, I'd actually disagree with that. Both what they are playing is better, and their released material is compressed to hell and back[1], which seems to be less prevalent live (though far from gone).

No doubt they _could_ do that recorded (anything you can do live you can match in a studio), but they _aren't_ doing.

There's also the non-musical elements - there's a difference between just playing some music and putting on a show.

What bizarre style of writing, as if Burning Man is some thoroughly alien concept and is being described as seen by the curious eyes of an awestruck anthropologist.

Yes, it's believable that this professor found something of interest in the way Burning Man organizes itself but did we real need paragraphs upon paragraphs of this woo-woo style writing?
It's a playpen for the ultra rich. It's quite similar to Epstein's Island in that regard.
[Wabbitemu](http://wabbitemu.org/) makes a TI-83 emulator for Windows / Mac / Android.

A simpler product might serve my needs, but this is one I've used for years and understand well (and works with existing hardware).
Burning Man is at best analogous to a gated community than a city. Most cities would have a ton of problems magically disappear if they could pick and choose who got to stay and imposed a high "entry fee" regardless of people's incomes.
You obviously know far more about aviation than I do, but it's not hard to find helipads in urban areas where a crash would be disastrous, eg near hospitals (which are often near major infrastructure like freeways for the same reasons they have helipads).

A drone maliciously aimed at a helicopter's tail rotor could conceivably cause an accident depending on the construction/trickery selected by the operator, and a helicopter crash at a hospital has the potential to be a major disaster.
Here is the one technical bit, the rest is a very entertaining job story.

> The thing about the REKURSIV was that users could program different instruction sets. James Lothian, who was worked at Edinburgh University microcoding the Prolog instruction set describes it as being "a really interesting and unusual design: the main memory was in effect a persistent object store, with every object having its type, size and position in memory known in hardware, so that (for example) the hardware could prevent you from 'running off the end of an array and corrupting surrounding memory. Paging of objects into and out of main memory was handled by the host machine (generally a Sun 3), and was completely transparent, even at the microcode level. This meant that you could write arbitrarily complex algorithms in microcode, even recursive ones, hence the machine's name. Every object had a unique identifier (a 40-bit number), and the MMU chip would translate that into the object's store address (if it was in main memory). Since only the MMU knew the object's address, an object could be moved around in memory without having to update references to it (since they were in terms of its object number); this made garbage-collection particularly straightforward."
Slow compilation and build tools (scalac and sbt), buggy/overlycomplex standard lib, interoperability, better IDE support in alternatives, academia oriented.
The teams I work with are fairly good about not over-doing Slack. They respond when it works for them, and nobody has expectations of real-time discussions.

And yet, if we have a server go down, or some other such event, we normally first hear about it from the support team, who gives a heads-up in a channel shared with dev and ops, and whomever is free jumps on it, and we get the problem at least narrowed down to a cause and people acting on it within minutes...

And 10-15 minutes later, when the rest of us also look at the channel, the problem already has someone acting on it, and often it is already resolved.

In short, I see no reason to slow people down artificially.
Changing the color is allowed, but you can’t have graffiti or fancy designs(flames, clouds, waves...). You’re right about the stickers, they’re allowed but haven’t seen any fancy designs, mostly lines, stripes and a few numbers. I’m sure that if the whole body was covered you’d get into trouble here.

For the downvoters: Fritz Haber co-invented (with Carl Bosch) the Haber-Bosch ammonia synthesis process, without which most people on Earth would not be alive.

He is also credited as the father of chemical warfare, and directly ran and oversaw development of chlorine and other poison gas weapons for Germany in WWI.

His wife, Clara Immerwahr, committed suicide, using her husband's service revolver, and was found mortally wounded though not yet dead by her 12 year old son An act thought by many to have been a protest to her husband's work.

Parent comment is quite accurate.

Last line of 2010s:

> Analysis suggests that the loudness trend may have peaked around 2005 and subsequently reduced, with a pronounced increase in overall and minimum album DR for albums since 2005.

It also hints how we may continue to move away from it:

> With music sales moving towards file-based playback and streaming and away from CDs, there is a possibility that the loudness war will be blunted by normalization technology such as ReplayGain and Apple's Sound Check. Most cloud-based music services perform loudness normalization by default and may reduce the market pressure to overcompress material.
Does this mean it is not possible to have a "great" software product, one that does things "better", that does not also generate "real growth"?

Is it possible to have a "not great" product which neverthless generates "real growth"?

Is "real growth" the sole measure/determinant of whether a product is "great"?

Does that mean a small number of users who believe a product is "great" are "wrong" about said greatness if the product never experiences "real growth"?

What I'm reading here is the case that, if there were such a score that could reliably capture risk in at least some of its complexity, that would be good. I agree, it would be good. My point is that CVSS doesn't do that. My evidence isn't that there's a self-XSS somewhere scored 8+, but that this happens routinely, because you can (and people absolutely do) make CVSS scores say whatever they want them to say.
All “organic” farming has achieved is taking word that had a particular meaning, and removed any trace of that meaning. What does “organic” mean? Well it certainly no longer means organic. It also doesn’t refer to a set of more “natural” farming principles. Depending on who you ask, each certifying body will have their own unique definition that amounts to hundreds of pages of regulations. “Organic” is equally as meaningless and nonsensical as “chemical free”.

I don't think Mathematicians themselves didn't like this idea. In fact Hilbert tried it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert%27s_program) one hundred years ago and it failed and proved to be not possible. Well maybe the Hilbert program is too aggressive, and this Lean thing is much moderate. But at the end of the day, the boundary of what program solver could do is bounded already hence no one is paying too much attention.

> Vinyl appeals to hipsters and dumb audiophiles (there are smart audiophiles, but they aren't buying vinyl), both communities that are prone to buying into hype.

I think enough people have commented about how obnoxious this statement is, but I'll go ahead and throw another couple of cents into the conversation

I think there is genuine value to artifacts. When you buy a record, you get:

* The record itself

* An 12" x 12" piece of art accosiated with the album

* A booklet of bonus content and anything else the artist wanted to include.

Not only is there added extra value in that (larger than a CD), but it can feel like an occasion to get.

But beyond that, there can be an interesting satisfaction in holding the literal physical interpretation of the sound you enjoy. There's a connection there for some people, and it shouldn't be discounted.
It's part of a process. I'm following more or less GTD.

When I realize I have something to do and it doesn't need to be done right away, I log it in my task inbox. Everyday I start the day by reviewing the inbox and qualifying it - is there a due date, how long will it take, is it important, etc. Then I plan my day by peaking things based on the triage.
Once a week I review the entire list of tasks.

Thanks for being candid, is this inline with your experience? Have you worked at a smaller company and google as well? Your logic is really sound but I'm also asking this question for the purposes of gathering anecdotal experiences as well.

Your answer is great, btw, I just noted that you used the word "average" over a personal example so I wanted to get an idea of where you're coming from.

chrome://settings/addresses page is literally where addresses that Chrome saves for Autofill are saved and can be deleted if necessary. He or someone on his account account probably entered it some time (people routinely forget that they entered some data in their browser despite swearing to god they did not). Maybe for sending a gift, or helping them out with some internet work (likely if he claims they have never used the internet themselves).

Likewise the "Never Saved" list on chrome://settings/passwords?search=credentials is for sites where you click "Never Save" when Chrome offers to save your password. How else do you expect the browser to know not to prompt you? The reason the list is published is so that you can choose to undo a website that got inserted into this list by mistake.

I don't understand what's a joke in to-do? I migrated in the early days of the buy-out, and sure at that time features were lacking. But the app today is at feature par with wunderlist. Honestly couldn't do without the "my-day" feature now that I'm using it, can have multiple accounts (pro/perso) in the same client.

Apart from a basic anti-microsoft stance is there anything substantiating the hatred?

At one point in life I also had the mistaken (and costly) impression that one should pursue one's dreams: that is a fine idea if the dreams are good and you have a way to make a living and stay solvent and prepare for the future. But to think it must make a living is to make a demand of the marketplace that it has no care whether it satisfies for you.

I think the author's angst comes from missing that:
1) Markets outweigh other financial considerations we wish for. Currently, those don't support as many musicians as there are people wanting to be professional musicians. As a music and history lover who got some attention as a youth (also in a small pond), I eventually realized that programming pays better, if one is persistent to learn.
2) We can scratch our itches in the form of hobbies or outside interests, as part of having a balanced life. And in activities with family, friends, neighbors, and church members. For example, my mother made us practice the piano (she was just tougher than I was when I tried to quit), and I am so grateful to my very non-wealthy parents for those sacrifices. We had good times as a family singing around the piano: we weren't what anyone would call very good at it, but those are priceless memories to me. (It also taught us that we can do hard things, if one sticks with it and practices the right way, like, one hand slowly with many repetitions, then put them together: life can be similar.)
We sang mostly "parlor music", like Stephen Foster melodies from an old book, etc etc., and kidded each other and had popcorn and told stories etc. It didn't have to make me a living to add joy to life. Similarly for our little, amateur, local church choir. Some people learn to jam together. (Coolness...)

We have to make realistic choices (and avoid debt!), and strive for a balanced life. I write some things about having a balanced life, and balanced human growth in good ways, at http://lukecall.net .

This rings true to my anecdotal experience: was driving a badly plastidip-ed car in a politically red neighborhood and was falsely stopped for not signaling right; I had, but I prefer not being shot so I expressed general confusion when confronted by this falsehood. The police person quickly turned the conversation to drugs and shining his light in the car but gave up without indulging in a full search of the vehicle and wrote me up a warning. That was not a fun experience.

The practice of releasing a game in early-access undermines the notion that you are paying for a game there-and-now. Even games that get 1.0 releases are often incomplete or continue to receive free content updates. Planet Explorers was released in early access, so people who bought it were clearly investing in its future, not paying for it as it was then.

This kind of ambiguous relationship being pervasive in the industry muddles traditional notions of when the studio's commitment ends, which opens the door for misunderstanding and abuse.

After skimming some of the Steam reviews, the cynic in me thinks they didn't want to bother supporting the game anymore after the one that followed (My Time at Portia) took off, so they made up a story that would get them more sympathy than an abrupt announcement that the MP portion would be discontinued. I mean, there's no direct evidence of this, but you'd think that in 5 years... hmm...

Looking at a Unity forum thread from 2015 that the U-Link dev responded in, it seems the writing was already on the wall, which should have triggered a reassessment of their game's use of that component.

Philosophy is advertised as something more fundamental than logic itself. Here it's advertised as something more fundamental than computer science.

But when I read stuff like this I question the veracity of it all. The very first section seems to be talking about "science" and "computer science" then it goes on to talk about ethics... Is this really legit? I mean what "science" means and what "computer science" means is more of a english language problem then some fundamental aspect of reality... and ethics are just rules that govern human behavior and the human condition... does this really need to be merged with the formal fundamentals of computer science? It's like saying english literature is part of quantum theory or that morality is intrinsic to classical mechanics.

I'm curious but as an outsider looking in... it looks like a load of BS. Any top tier theoretical mathematicians or hardcore scientists have anything to say about philosophy? Or even the philosophy behind computer science? Is it worth reading this stuff?

Not always, let’s say you have two options A and B that have similar lifetime costs including both capital costs and maintenance costs. A is unsustainable, but you have already paid the capital costs.

Now switching to B means paying those capital costs. However, equipment has a finite lifespan so if you time the transition to the point when you need to replace A anyway it’s essentially free.

At the consumer level electric cars are a reasonable approximation of this. For many people, TCO is about the same, but switching early is a poor choice. Similarly, for electric companies wind and solar are unlikely to outcompete existing coal power plants, but it can cheaply replace yet to be constructed coal power plants.
