All that recursion, lazy evaluation, monads, lambdas, virtual methods and coroutines. In the end, they are all stack manipulation and jump instructions. High level languages are just a more convenient way of writing assembly.

Well, in the end the universe dies in the heat death stage, and nothing matters.

But we're not "in the end", so this final analysis "it's all machine code anyway" is reductionistic.

It might be all machine code, but the abstraction at which we think and program matters, for the correctness, speed of writing, speed of understanding it later, and performance of the deliverable...
Facebook says California’s new privacy law doesn’t apply to its trackers
At least he didn't use the word "poaching".

Now it means hunting animals outside of hunting season. What it meant much earlier is (unauthorized) killing the kings' deer. (Robin Hood was a poacher.) The employee is viewed as a possession.

If you stay in job for 10 years are you getting 10 years of experience? A friend with a different risk profile has been at a job for 10+ years and they pay very well but this isn't usually the case. You usually fall behind in experience and pay.

yep, it's accepted in other fields. the craziest for me has to be the music/sound industry. you could spend months coming up with the right chords just to have some big label or famous person you don't have any relationship with come after you.

I had similar needs. I don't like that telemetry is on by default and you can only disable it by manually editing the config JSON (whilst service's stopped). I have encountered bugs in past versions but nothing recent stands out. Having full control of our data, unlimited history, slack-compatible integrations with 3rd party notification services and our own, easy upgrades, and no downtime when Internet's out (in-office server) has been great. Overall a positive experience.
Isn't that a slave mindset? You weren't born prebound to a specific job.

* Splitting requirements documents into user stories and then evolving the document further. This practice can be improved upon by adding redundancy with attaching the document to user stories and enterprise wiki. Further optimization can get to the org to CMMI level 5 but requires investment in diversity of the most critical requirements in other locations and protection of these assets from being linked.

If you foresee any need to communicate with other musicians I strongly recommend you don't forget about the "historic names". They're not historic, I'm a band leader and I use them constantly when communicating to my band members. Every musician in the local scene knows the difference between a Cmaj7 and a C7. If you train your brain to equate "C plus 7" as a fifth you're going to damage fluency greatly. Homebrewing your own nomenclature is excluding you from hundreds of years of literature on the subject.

I did a project like that at my old job. It was a single screen with a single purpose (login the user via oauth SSO, then collect a couple of pieces of input and submit them to a backend webservice), so it was assigned to me rather than creating a project team. To make it match the rest of our application architecture I created a REST layer in C# that communicated via SOAP to an ESB that forwarded the SOAP request to a Java webservice that finally forwarded it to the backend system. I did depart from our organizational norm by doing the frontend with plain HTML+JS (plus Boostrap, IIRC) rather than AngularJS.

Yes, it was complicated, but I think there is a benefit: it's very clear where certain functionality should live. The C# REST layer was application-facing, so it took care of SSO and basic validation. The Java webservice contained the business logic to validate things from an broader enterprise perspective. The ESB was a piece of trash that did provide authnz so the Java webservice didn't have to.

Was it worth the complexity? Probably not, in this case. But those sorts of applications tend to have long lifespans and evolving requirements, so the standardization can be helpful.

Back in the early 2000s I quit my engineering job and went to music school for a few years. We used Mark Levine's excellent "Jazz Theory Book" to cover the theoretical aspects. It presents theory in the context of trying to understand how to improvise over jazz harmonies - I found it very useful. It's a textbook though: you're going to have to invest some time in it to get the most out of it.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Jazz-Theory-Book-Mark-Levine/dp/188...

Books aside, in my view the #1 thing you can do to help your music theory understanding is to train your ear: if you can't reliably identify all the intervals within an octave and identify major, minor, diminished and augmented triads, as well as the basic 4-note chords (major 7, minor 7, dominant 7, minor-7-flat-5) by ear, knowing a bunch of rules about tone-tone-semitone-tone-tone-tone-semitone won't be all that useful. Back in music school days I practised daily with EarMaster and within a couple of months had gotten solid enough at recognising intervals and chords by ear that it made all the other music learning I did subsequently much much easier. I am sure there are way better ear training tools now!
Aside from hinting at wonderful new science, the strongest resonance I get from this story is hubris.

How proud and how wrong we can be. To disregard and minimise this research because it does not fit neatly within existing paradigms, is a crime. Hundreds of millions of dollars should be being poured into this research, the implications for our understanding of fundamental biology are profound.

Can the Internet Survive Climate Change?
This brings to mind the joke with the drunk looking for his car keys under a street light. A guy tries to help him, and after searching in vain for a while, asks him:

"Are you sure you lost them here?"

"No, I'm pretty sure I've dropped then somewhere in the other side of the parking lot",

"So why are we looking for them here?"

"Because there's more light here which makes it easier to search!"

So, what's easier is not always what best. E.g. it doesn't mean sticking to the job rather than the preferred tool is the optimal path to expertise, career success, or personal development.
In the case of Trump I think GP is alleging that some people know that Trump is about to make a specific tweet, allowing those people to trade based on their knowledge of how the market will react. Whether Trump does this in purpose or is a manipulated pawn is anyone's guess.

Part of it is that language diverged, but it's also because if you're in country X talking about country Y and you have a long enough history you'll have a word in language X for country Y.

I recall a story but I'm not sure of its authenticity, it described western traders asking portuguese translators to give them the pronunciation of 日本 (Nihon/Nippon the native word for Japan). The PT translators interpreted the characters through Mandarin and come out with "Jipangu" which would be the root etymology for our english term "Japan".

While i do not want to defend the position of anovikov, i have to note there is a big difference in border protection against entering a country and leaving a country. This is e.g. explicitly stated in UDHR, which recongizes a human right to leave any country, and only right to enter a country of citizenship.

The border situation with communist countries was significant not only it proves intent of these countries to shoot on those trying to cross borders, but mainly it proves that situation there was so bad that people trying to leave even if that means risking death in border crossing.

For this, I would highly recommend the music theorist/composer Dimitri Tymoczko. His career project is to rebuild the basics of harmony from the ground up from (mostly simple) rules, closely based on how people hear. A catchphrase he uses a lot is "why does music sound good?"

He teaches a set of 2 comprehensive introductory music theory classes at Princeton, and he makes the lecture notes public: https://dmitri.mycpanel.princeton.edu/teaching.html. These are a really underrated resource and have now grown to be as complete as a full intro theory textbook.

There is a serious lack of stuff that teaches music theory from the ground up (how a lot of us hackers like to learn). So much of the confusion around music theory just comes from most theorists using using old, incredibly crufty "data structures" to describe music, when the actual material isn't so hard. Tymoczko is one of the few researchers pushing back on that. He is best known for his higher-level, mathy research (he wrote the first music theory article ever published in Science), but those lecture notes are a great way to get started for anyone who gets frustrated with learning theory the traditional way—which is pretty much everyone.

I do vote with the wallet where I can for sure. If you were able to build or do something to enhance you speakers you are in the minority of users of consumer hardware. If Sonos/brand x has done that, GREAT! but what happens when they get tired of doing that and add some arbitrary line in the sand where the latest version of the app will not support your speakers. The best case scenario here is that you have a device that can be frozen in time to support the devices of that period. The worst case is you have to recycle or likely landfill that device. Sorry that is an awful scenario any way you slice it.
You can also mention for interest that your scale is actually a logarithm.

x + 12 = 880 Hz in your notation.

The reason and importance of intervals are due to the harmonic series.

Perfect 5th = 3/2 * x (or x + 7 in your notation)

Perfect 4th = 4/3 * x (or x + 5 in your notation)

The 12-note equal temperament is a little off from these ratios as a hack to allow multiple key signatures. You'll find that 3/2 ~= 12_sqrt(2)^7.

You can go into complicated chords too, and you'll still find dualities and the hormonic series behind it. A major chord is a stacked major 3rd with a minor 3rd and together they range over a perfect 5th.

> efficiency for the sake of efficiency

Oh dear rurp, you don't want to get me started on that! ;-)

Your hiking example is a textbook page of my life, I do things like that all the time. Partner openly jokes that I'm crazy / weird / funny — all in good spirits, I concur that it's not exactly statistically average (i.e. 'normal') behavior. — "but why do you do this like that?", eyes usually roll before I even finish my elevator pitch; but every once in a while I catch her imitating. Good times, haha. Small victories, you know.

That being said,

I have a gazillion justifications for this. From ancient Zen and Stoicism (you guessed it) to modern scientific organization of work / tasks / labor, passing by cognitive science and physics and what-have-you.

It's. Just. More. Efficient. To. Be. Efficient!..

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But it's also a delusion, to some degree (when you mistake the means for the ends I suppose, when it becomes a zero-sum rat race from a 3rd person perspective). Hence a healthy distance with the concept, I treat it as one parameter/rule of our universe — nature favors the efficient ones — but I've learned to just shrug at the general inefficiency of my civilization. Sometimes, I admit I'll even take pleasure and find beauty in a wildly inefficient thing that nonetheless passes the threshold of "it works", however barely. Politics, states, institutions feel like that to me: it should all collapse under its own weight and complexity, and yet it goes on... fascinating feat. It's like e.g. Windows (the biggest codebase in existence, at least as reported a few years ago, 50 million lines iirc?), you have to revel at the wonder that it even works.
It's a perfectly cromulent word, but at the link only "adaptation" appears.
Specifically, it's only the case for unsupported project bits that the user doesn't pay for. Commercial FOSS products have the same sort of warranty and support as any other software product.

There are some cases of of selling products without much in the way of guarantees. Something you buy on eBay AS IS is pretty much only warrantied to be as described.
> I tried looking for documents related to that and talking to the customer care but they were clueless. They would get stuck at repeating "do you want to schedule a repair?".

>Organizational Complexity. Measures number of developers workong on the module, number of ex-developers that used to work on the module but no longer does, how big a fraction of the organization as a whole that works or has worked on the module, the distance in the organization between the developer and the decision maker, etc.

After one of the early big software project failures (maybe Multics?) there was a quote about software projects going around (maybe John R Pierce?) that "If it can't be done by two people in six months, it can't be done."

One of the functions of good software design is to break the system down into pieces that a couple of people can complete in a reasonable length of time.
I'll throw in a 2nd recommendation for this. It's a great starting point to learn the basics and the terminology, which will then unlock a lot of other resources.
Yes. That's the point, you will write the dsl to do that in scheme. Then use that to solve the original problem. Abstractions on top of abstractions.
>What would be a good way to measure the comlexity of a task in some objective way?

From an existing codebase this would be very difficult to objectively assess. I think you’d have to study it empirically — come up with a set of tasks (“A”) that each takes a single programmer “P” on average a week to complete. Then come up with a set of tasks (“B”) that each takes a team “T” of 10 programmers on average a week to complete (ensure that 10 programmers is a lower bound, i.e. decreasing the number of coders causes the project to take longer). Across multiple solo programmers and teams, compare the quality of the code produced by programmers P on tasks A, teams T on tasks B, and teams T on tasks A. I’d bet P/A > T/B > T/A.
Why does sharp or flat want to step up or down?

I took a few years of music lessons (granted light on theory) but I never heard this idea.

Is this exclusive to notes that are not in the current key? For example the f# in Gmaj doesn't want to step up to G any more than B wants to step up to C in Cmaj.

If they hadn't layered it, the new retrofitting wouldn't even be possible and the company wouldn't have that contract.

I don't like it either but I understand why people do it for both the virality and the low friction of getting something written very informally out there easily. I do wish that, when people do it, they'd also compile it into a blog to give it more permanent form.
