Yes, I saw a video recently talking about how stupid it is to use the common term "vulnerable road users". It lumps cyclists and pedestrians together even though their needs are very different.

It’s in the title. ‘Everyone on 70k’ is a pay cut if you were in more than 70k, as any professional would be. It’s clearly wrong as it doesn’t make any sense, but that’s the source they were referring to.
No, I think that is the opposite of what makes sense. We should allow popular properties that have already provided good profits for their creators to lapse as soon as possible into the public domain, since they have the largest impact on culture, and the lowest impact on their creators' livelihoods.

Mickey Mouse is much more relevant, would lead to much more creative work, and would hurt Disney much less if it were public than making some song by some band which at best has a small dedicated following public.

An evil CA can generate fake certificates, because a CA can sign (generate) any certificate they want, because all they're doing is saying "this is legit, trust me".

People with the power to generate fake certificates for any hostname already exist regardless of the size of Lets Encrypt. Consequently LE aren't a particular threat. (And the short lifespan of LE certs significantly reduces the value of them as a target. Once the dodginess is identified, you could detrust them within a much shorter timeframe)

It's usually good to have some leverage to ask for a raise. If they don't normally give raises without anyone asking, it's unlikely they'll approve it. It also flags to the employer that this employee may be unhappy and to start looking for a replacement.
I am this kind of guy, too - i3 + st + vim bindings almost everywhere.

But it's a mixed bag, like I can use vim and do something complex in an instant, e.g. replacing a column of characters with something else, but I'm too used to the regular expression replace all mode of vscode. Or the file manager on large projects, I'm pretty much used to using one file at a time with vim.

Can Ant design be used without React? Are there any similar component libraries that can simply be included in plain HTML, ala Bootstrap?
Some points:

* I guess with Office365, JavaScript makes some sense, but why not just go VBA to WebAssembly?

* What about the Python rumors a couple years ago?

* I should probably turn my NecroVisualBasiCon library into A book. If you use the Access.Application library, right-click and toggle the hidden members, that COM object has a few extras like loading/saving objects from the VBProject that make e.g. git integration feasible.

* VBA does an outstanding job of providing 80% of what you want and no more.

South Africa has this problem in academia and to a order of magnitude worse.

Not only do you worry about your own small income; but grants, scholarships, registration fees and a myriad of other things have in recent times become volatile and can be taken away from year to year.

Most of the issues is due to 1) our government being corrupt and 2) promises the government made about free education.

I am not against free education, but I am against impoverished professors.

This is why I decided to side-step academia. It is delaying my PhD by probably 3–7 years (I am at year 2's start now) but it's better than having in theory 100% time spent on a PhD but actually worrying about the University and your peers, your own future, etc. in reality.

That's not true at all from my experience, quite the opposite.

I think it's part of the social contract when working in a coffee shop. You're in public, drinking coffee, and people need to use the restroom... It's OK to ask people for help.

Well, you will get about 30 hours of theoretical training and something like 12 or 15 hours of practical driving training for that. Also there are fees included like costs for the theoretical exams, your driving examiner and the driving license itself.

Costs obviously vary with your driving skills and whether you live in a rural area or in town. I think the later is more expensive...

Really? A language that has values passed by value, values passed by reference, references passed by value and references passed by reference? (And both late and early binding, and auto-boxing with all kinds of mysterious type-conversions, etc. and so on. And default properties.)

What makes it easy for beginners is the integrated environment, which is also what makes it difficult for more experienced programmers as it doesn't integrate with their version control system and other common tools.

I have some questions (mainly to improve my own understanding):

2. Since data is MIDI-encoded, would a convolution hold any merit here? I suppose you could render to an mp3 and analyze the audio itself but that seems very computationally expensive and prone to overfitting.
3) If we're training a scoring classifier, we would need labeled data, but getting those labels seems very challenging, not least because of how subjective our impressions of melodies can be (for instance, the opinions of a fan of atonality would be drastically different from a fan of pop). Do you have any ideas on how to mitigate this?
I know many non-technical people love VBA because it empowers them to do cool things, especially in Excel. However, there is a no smaller number of people who view VBA as a necessary evil, because they are forced to do programming and they are not programmers. It's also well-known that VBA macros written by non-professional programmers tend to become a cumbersome, unreadable, unmaintainable mess. My favorite case is when VBA is used to insert complex multi-line formulas in a spreadsheet, run calculations, then do it again with another set of formulas.

I believe, VBA will remain as a general purpose language for long time, but it will be partially replaced by tools that are purpose-built for tasks such as data preparation. We've seen it with EasyMorph (https://easymorph.com), a visual data preparation tool we've created exactly for heavy Excel users without a technical background. It works very well for them and we get a lot of praise for it. If this approach works for data preparation, probably it will work for other types of automation too.

That was my point. ;-)

I don't think that Adobe or others are still optimizing their software to run better on Mac OS. How would they? Any Mac is a (special) configuration of parts from the shelves of Intel and alike.

I think it was different with the PowerPC architecture where you could do things differently internally.

The Mac Pro surely is a beast but I think you could configure/build other workstations to have the same amount of power.

Hm, they don't really explain this, or do they? They just say "by saving those melodies to a hard drive they have affixed them to a physical medium which is all that is necessary to copyright them".

So, by the same argument, they could copy the self-extracting archive to a hard drive, and then have the same thing, or not?

They even say that they already store it in a compressed form on the hard drive.

What if some future compressor (future ZIP format) is clever enough to see that you are going to save all possible permutations of something, and then saves this is a much better compressed way. Then suddenly when compressors do this, it means when you use such a compressor, you do not have copyright on the data anymore?

That's not a counterpoint. That's a case in point. The selection by the human (or by any other method) is the 'creativity'. The fact that the change itself occurred randomly is not important. The fact that the permutation was chosen is actually what gives it a certain color in the sense of the article.

There's also a difference between copyright and patent law.
