The reason for a good camera is not to take artistic photography (although you can do that too and many do).

It's because people use that camera to record memories that they cherish. Just ask any new parent what happens to their phone's camera roll once number 1 pops out. Or ask young people to show you where they went on their last vacation: many times it'll be a bunch of cool shots taken on a phone.

These memories are priceless and having to record them with a device that is open but has the photo quality of a 5 year old device is not an attractive trade-off.
So, nothing _really_ jumped out, though there were weak clues/hints. I am not a coder, so it isn't obvious to me that a mention of a technology being "8 months down the road" is unreasonable. But now it would be.

Language (and, it appears, also a culture) barrier with management is... tricky since we don't want to come off as racist/*-ist. Not sure how to evaluate it, aside from asking scenario questions if the manager. Maybe if there manager, during their interview, didn't care about finding the candidate's behavior when they reached their knowledge limits is another sign?

I still think you are seriously discounting the added convenience and peace of mind.

If I was an older person who wasn't super comfortable dealing with computer programs, I would absolutely pay a CPA a few hundred bucks to do my taxes. It saves me time and I don't have to worry about screwing it up.

It's the same reason people get food delivered. I'm paying someone to cook food and bring it to my house. It's something I could do myself, but its a hassle that I can pay to avoid. Plus, I can be confident that a professional chef is much less likely to prepare me burnt / raw / untasty food than I would be myself.
Many moons ago, Microsoft’s cafeterias were subsidized. And then they weren’t. Remember that mass exodus from Microsoft in the 90s over the cafeteria stink? Neither does anyone else, because what noise there was didn’t amount to much.
The danger is throwing something into production without understanding bias and variance, overfitting (or other important concept) with potentially disastrous results.

That said, I always wonder why people don't abscond more often when facing charges that will see them jailed for the rest of their lives.

Most people wouldn't be allowed into other countries while facing such charges.
>Except that a single C note (especially on stringed instruments) may have many harmonics that also look like a C chord. The problem isn't straightforward.

It's not terribly difficult either. For plucked or struck strings, you can rely on the inharmonicity of the overtones to distinguish fundamentals from harmonics. Ensemble bowed strings are more tricky because the overtones are mode-locked, but we can rely on variance between individual players in both the time and frequency domain.

Polyphonic pitch detection is a bread-and-butter feature in many commercial music technology products and the industry is many years ahead of academia; I have absolutely no doubt that you'd be able to buy automatic transcription software right now if the market was big enough to justify the R&D spend.

One of Nixon's chief advisers admitted in an interview years later that the war on drugs was explicitly targeted at black people[0]. Criminalizing blacks was a primary objective of this policy.

This is a great analogy!
How would that really explain much, considering that decades of administrations beyond Nixon continued the war on drugs?

Both sides. Plus many other countries.

Furthermore, it's only been recently that the public has finally supported legalizing even marijuana[1]. So legislative action hasn't been in the cards until as of late, and sadly there still doesn't seem to be much of a push or actual policies aside from a few exceptions (Yang).

I forgot to file one of several 1099 forms one year. I got a friendly call from an auditor. He explained what the discrepancy was, how I could appeal if I wanted, and what the payment options were. When I told him I'd take an IRS loan (i.e. a payment plan with interest), he advised me it would be cheaper for me to get a loan from family, friends or the bank.

This was about as far from being threatened with prison I've ever been... And believe me I've come pretty close to being arrested (during exercise of my 1st & 4th amendment rights on multiple occasions).
Of course the system could be better. But it's not better.

For better or for worse, tax software does add utility for most people.

Hopefully this reform from the IRS actually improves the situation.
A simple google search will turn up many credible articles all of which show pretty substantially that Nixon was very much racist, and that many of his policies were... colored... by his racism.

It's a good idea but seems more appropriate for something like a restaurant. When you live with it day-in day-out any imperfection will quickly make the effect look disingenuous and creepy, like clowns with their permanent fake happiness.

If you have 5 tax brackets, all the other parts of the tax system basically get multiplied by 5 in the number of combinations that could cause weird optimal equilibriums.

Eg, maybe the most optimal retirement plan changes depending on whether you are in the 2nd-to-lowest or highest tax bracket. That means advice for one person might be suboptimal for someone else solely because they are in a different tax bracket.

Factoring in indirect taxes like payroll, in Australia about half my marginal income is directed to government purposes (Australian tax system). Rationally I should be spending 2-3 days/year of thinking time reading up on changes in tax law and scheming on trying to optimise my tax burden if I believe I can find a way of reducing that by 1% somewhere. Having 5 different tax brackets is just asking for me to try and find some complicated scheme where I filter income to unemployed relatives (eg, the ol' put income earning assests in the wife's name). I don't want to be incentivised to be thinking about that sort of thing, I'd rather just know there are no options.

The more combinations there are, the more weird schemes people come up with. Having everyone pay a flat 30% and with some sort of minimum income scheme would reduce the number of alternatives there I have to think about and make it easier to be confident that my taxes are properly optimised.
I think it's systemic, not really linguistic. Complexities are fractal, and there's fundamentally no way to succinctly express them in a title or summary.
The point is Nixon was not outlier. His thinking was not exceptional, he just happen to be on tape and on charge.

Yes, one recipient, thanks and no worries, I may try back in a few days :)
As a former Scala dev who dipped their toes a bit too far into Cats/Matryoshka, it came from a combination of DRY + powerful abstractions. If you have powerful abstractions then it's possible to see commonalities between parts of the codebase that others can't see. "Oh that thing that we're doing over here with lists is the same as that part with futures." That's where DRY comes in and turns that observation of duplicity into unification. Less code equals less bugs, right?

Another angle to view it is what if I told you that you could eliminate an entire class of errors by employing this abstraction? Learn Option once and then never have to deal with NPE's. What about errors due to recursion? Would it be appealing to avoid those errors forever? Concurrency, state, error handling, all things that have appealing abstractions.

If the idea of mathematical connections to seemingly unrelated things appeals to you, or you are tired of dealing with the same bugs in different forms then these abstractions seem very appealing. The problem is that it's a technical solution to a human problem. That doesn't inherently make it bad, but it does imply a different set of tradeoffs.
Yeah, they omitted critical information and rejected my attempts to get the information. They also kept the extension down for a month. I contacted a lawyer about this but the costs would have been extravagant, so.

You'll note how in that example, they provide lots of information on the party that filed the DMCA claim. That info is only provided to you if the DMCA notice actually included the info - Google will for some reason process malformed notices that don't contain the required information, which leaves you with no options.

In this case the person filing the claim provided no information except their name (4 japanese kanji) with no further contact information or other details. I was unable to find them on Google, if that was even their name.
> considering that decades of administrations beyond Nixon continued the war on drugs?

There were unrelated reasons that lead to Urban decay and increase in crimes at the same time. The War on Drugs was a convenient distraction and an explanation for the ills that faced American society at the time. Only later did we realize the root causes of those instabilities were unrelated to drug use, and that the war on drugs actually made the problem worse.

This isn't all that surprising. Consider: the current POTUS and administration vilifies immigrants and blames them for all American societies ills.

This is such a common strategy of distraction, and the American public seem to fall for it repeatedly.
The senate is gerrymandered. The reason we have north and South Dakota instead of just one Dakota is that the Republicans (same name, but long long long ago) wanted for senators, not two.
5. I police my startup items so that's correct, I've never had this issue. But yeah I know about Autoruns; that's an option too. Are you saying that since it's not built into Windows then it shouldn't count? I don't really agree. It's not like other popular OSes have such tools built in either. And Autoruns is even first-party since Sysinternals was acquired by Microsoft.

6. Yes it can. My current Windows 10 system has been installed since March. I disabled the store immediately and no update since then has restored Windows Store or any Store app. You can uninstall the Store (https://github.com/Disassembler0/Win10-Initial-Setup-Script/...) or just disable access/updates through group policy (https://i.imgur.com/ZRxbwNt.png).

All commands you enter pass directly to bluetoothctl except aliases in curly braces are replaced. You can use it interactively or pipe to it.

Complex piped stuff may or may not actually work. If stdin isn't a tty the program exits once bluetoothctl reports a success/failure after it gets an EOF on stdin. This means you can write `btctl <<< "connect {my_device_alias}"` and it will exit once it's done connecting or couldn't connect.

If you're using it interactively it only waits 0.01 seconds for results before displaying them and moving on to the next input() (whereas bluetoothctl will asynchronously display more results even while you're typing in a new input) so you may need to spam enter to see results.
I, too, switched to the non-granny after reading Ian's site but then switched again to the fake magician's knot where you make a loop, pull another loop partially through, then tighten - the ones where pulling the loose end will undo it "magically". Works great, basically never comes undone, takes seconds, and is a lot less fiddly for old people (like me.)

(Think it's called "The Dissolving Knot Trick" in magic circles.)
But Turbo Tax is only useful because of how terrible the IRS is. It's a whole cottage industry propped up by a complex tax code and poor filing system.

In Norway, the government already has the data needed for your tax return: Withholdings, bank interest, capital gains, property income, loans, etc. The exceptions are things like foreign income, property, etc. that don't get automatically reported.

The tax return is automatically filled out for you, and if you don't amend it by the deadline (which you do by logging into the government portal and editing the form, adding additional forms, etc., all digitally), it's automatically submitted as-is.

(And the forms are simple! When I look at my US tax returns, which are prepared by a CPA, I can barely make heads or tails of it. But I could easily do a Norwegian tax return from scratch myself without a CPA.)

Most people don't need to anything at all, even if they have a situation that in the US would require a bunch of number crunching.

The above is also true about most European countries, by the way.

Most companies have shared PCs for meeting rooms.

Are you sure that's not overgeneralising from your own experience? After all, most companies don't even have dedicated meeting rooms, because they aren't big enough. Of the ones that do, I have rarely seen a dedicated PC in there, and that spans the full range of businesses from five guys in a single office through 200+ person medium enterprises right up to some of the largest companies in the world. Most people just take their own laptops, IME. So while I don't doubt that you may have come across this often, it's not necessarily the way everyone else does it.

In any case, basic AAA for organisational user IDs is hardly rocket science, whether you're running on Windows or Linux.

He just has so many strange positions that may be "smart" but, at least at first glance, seem to have awful side effects.

From that page: "In 1985, he went to a conference in South Africa sponsored by South African businesses called the "Youth for Freedom Conference", which sought to bring American and South African conservatives together to end the anti-apartheid movement."

Why would anyone work to end the anti-apartheid movement? Did Norquist think that divestment and free-trade would be more effective in ending apartheid?

Didn't know that Jeff Flake, the sole anti-Trump Republican US senator, was also active in that movement. I have often felt down on my luck about my employment opportunities, but never have I considered working as a lobbyist for a South African mining company during Apartheid. The book "My Traitor's Heart" has some riveting stories about the horrors of being a mine worker in South Africa before apartheid ended.

I read that line as suggesting that when using HLL the programmer generally does not have control over the assembly that is generated.

The shell is a very powerful REPL for incremental development, so you can often do things more rapidly by looking with `xsv headers`, then joining with `xsv join | xsv select | head | xsv table` than using python or sqlite.

I definitely used to use `sqlite` for every CSV before and I've shifted to using `xsv`. If I want to do any heavy lifting I'm going to pop it into PostgreSQL anyway.

Crucial feature is that it's easy to pop some `xsv` pipeline in the middle of your `for i in ...` or `find . -print0 | xargs -0`.
