I'm a little frustrated with the lack of discussion of frequencies in this article, which seems like a key bit of background to understanding this work. An "octave" is two sounds where one of them has exactly double the frequency of the other. I think it makes sense that octaves aren't hardwired, however it is fundamentally a mathematical property of frequencies.

I'm not sure how I feel about the thesis; can children tell if something is twice the size of another or do you need the concept of "two?" I think like other people I initially found this a little unlikely because octaves are innate physical and mathematical properties, but there are tons of physical/mathematical properties that require a lot of study to understand intuitively.
that's really helpful.Looking forward to use your extension

>> less day-to-day stress

Going from a full-time position to freelance can be quite the opposite of this. There are different kinds of stress. Right now you seem to mean day-to-day stress with the work (or maybe the coworkers), but if you go cold turkey and 100% freelance you'll have a lot of new stress to make sure you can pay the bills and provide for your family for an extended time without the steady pay check coming.

I recommend keeping the full-time job for now and looking for freelance work on the side. If you've been there for years, you probably have a good bank of PTO built up. You could take a few days off to focus on a freelance project, basically being double paid for your time.

Eventually, as you get more used to freelance work, how to navigate and negotiate it, you may feel more comfortable with what you're able to do as a freelancer and have a target date of when you would be able to quit the full-time job. Or, you may learn freelance work isn't for you, and you still have the full-time job to fall back on while you work on your resume and get psyched up to start the "interview gauntlet."

Either way you go, GOOD LUCK!!!
A year ago I had very similar concerns, but now I'm a happy user of a 16" Macbook Pro. Yes, the silly touchbar is still there, but with a hardware Escape key I can tolerate it. Is there anything else lacking for you from a 16" model?
The profitability claim doesn't have a lot of merit for me. Uber is already priced at a level that many people don't accept, to become profitable they will likely have to charge prices that would drive massive sections of their userbase away. The assumption that somehow that they will be able to charge much more and lose no users makes no sense to me.
Take your own advice then: This is just one of many stories about Tesla not treating its employees well.
That should be your long term view by now.

If all you care about is money on the other hand don‘t pretend not to be.
MS is leaving a lot of deals on the table without offering a Linux Agent. They've been using other companies to fill the gap. It's not a good look when the sales guy has to recommend a tiny startup to cover your other platforms for ATP.

It's also worth noting that they encouraged startups to offer ATP support and then within a couple of years killed them by offering their own.
> As I keep saying, I'll believe Microsoft "loves" Linux they day they create Office and an AD client for it.

Exactly. Everything else is just a marketing gimmick. They don't even support interoperability between OOXML, thus crippling every other "enterprisey" user who might want to have usable content/data between their co-workers who might be using Windows

MS-Uservoice has ~500 comments on this topic since 2018, and no word from MS till now. [ https://office365.uservoice.com/forums/264636-general/sugges... ]

Guess they figured out WSL is an easy ticket to

- paint the picture that "MS <3 linux! Techbros, dont'cha see! Yeah!"
- thus counter the "Hard for Ubuntu/Fedora/Linux users to use MS Apps!" argument by going "Know what, Ubuntu is within Windoze! No need to dual boot now! Wow! Such advancement!" and find a way to safeguard and maximize license/OS-aaS revenue

- no need to ever invest in interoperability for OOXML and such defined standards (this is a great lesson they have learnt from the LDAP-MSAD story)

- no need to bother much the "situation" of dual-boot - now there's a better way, by saying, "you could run Linux within, with full native suppirt, and no need to go out-of-band from your corporate security and compliance baselines! So much win, ya'see!"

Look beyond the gimmicks, and one could see it's just the same objective - just a different approach now.

Not just "Windows on every desktop" but rather, "all data-processings units in the world to directly be leading in one way or other to cause some kida revenue flow for MS"
WSL2 (a full blown Linux from what I understand) should alleviate most, if not all of those issues.

Get active in lawmaking. That's the only way. You have to fight corporate political power with people political power. The details of the bill usually come later. Start with organizing and walkouts, done collectively would be a great first step.

YouTube recommended me this video last night. Nothing I usually watch has anything to do with the subject of this video, so it was an odd recommendation. Strange to see it here on HN too.
I'm also not a lawyer, but as somebody who works in labor -- no, it doesn't have to be about "unions." It can absolutely be about working conditions, if they're in discussions with their coworkers. You're going to be on safer ground when there's a call for concerted action of some kind. You asked about "this" situation specifically, and I don't know enough about what happened to offer an opinion here.

A bit unrelated, but one of my favorite cases on the concept involved Triple Play Sports Bar & Grille, where somebody was fired for a Facebook "like."

This would make the control less reliable as well as more expensive and heavier. Additionally, there are other factors which may prevent the gear from deploying so you need to check even if the lever successfully moved.
I don't understand. Why does it matter if it's a specific communication protocol? If you have to filter your language when you're in a life and death situation with a potentially dangerous person who has used needles lying around, you've used up precious processing power that could otherwise be used to keep yourself safe and the sick person alive.

For the record - I checked with them - and they told me they were asked to take a test to check if they harbored "unknown biases". They were then sent to diversity and inclusion training, and came out totally confused about what to do and say, but they were assured that the hospital and the ambulance services were monitoring comms and wouldn't look favorably on "potentially offensive" terms.

Trying to describe a homeless man sleeping on rotten cardboard boxes who is covered in urine and feces with needles strewn around everywhere, who is both asking for help and attacking them is VERY HARD to do without using a term that someone could potentially find offensive.
No reasonable person can believe that leaking this kind of information (regardless of [in]accuracy) is appropriate.

HIPAA (1994) enshrined legally what is one of the few moral absolutes in healthcare - your health issues are nobody else's business with few caveats. HIV is reported to the government. Knowingly infecting someone with HIV is a crime. The reasonable safeguards are there and dumping someone's records does nothing to make anyone safer.
Everyone needs to remember: a constitution does nothing to protect your freedoms. It can serve as a rallying banner, but the only thing that will actually protect you is mass-will to enforce those freedoms. Simply having ideals on a piece of paper does nothing unless people actually fight for them, and those working against them aren't going to fight fair or say it out loud.

I don't understand why you are redefining a call for ostracism as "deciding who your friends are" and then classify ostracism as "the opposite of harassment".

This pretty much looks like harassment to me:

"the developer community need to start ostracising people working for these companies. Don't hire former employees, don't hang hang out with people who work for these companies and conferences.
Don't supply services to these companies (build their website, network...)."

We'd only need 5-10% of the water?

That might be possible, I don't know enough about it to say for sure. I could see us needing somewhat less just due to evaporation differences, but I'd think plants need basically the same amount of water to do what they do regardless. How do we get down to 5-10%?
This is a net increase in privacy for most people on Comcast networks, I'm glad to see Mozilla striking a deal like this -- especially with the privacy agreements Comcast is signing. But you should still switch your encrypted DNS provider to someone else like Cloudflare or similar.

God I wish - central management and logging is mandatory under all of these compliance regimes.

We’re in the middle of adopting HiTrust and I’ve been forced to install Cisco AMP on all of my servers. The product is absolute garbage and frequently eats up all available RAM, causing itself to crash and leave a core dump filling up my root partition.

The worst part? AMP on Linux is literally ClamAV plus a kernel module to monitor file access, network connections and process creation.
The fundamental difference between SpaceX and Farming is that the latter actually provides direct utility to humans.

I still don't understand why we need to go to space. I know I'm going to get roasted here for saying this. And yes, I know that "space tech improves earth tech" -- cool, so let's just make better earth tech in the first place. Better farms, schools, transportation. We only have one earth.

"I built a thing, isn't it shiny and cool" -- sweet rocket Musk, what are you going to do with it? Study space worms? Let rich people travel in space? Build a mars colony (lolol). That's not going to happen on any meaningful scale. Put down the sci-fi and open your eyes. We need help, here, now.

I hate to break it to you, but if this bill bothers you, then you’re best bet is to vote for the progressives. Welcome to the left wing, comrade. :-)

Over the years, I’ve watched most of my conservative friends defect to the democrats as the Republican party morphed from “small (but efficient) government” to starting the War on Science and War on the Climate, not to mention all the useless wars against the Middle East, etc.

At the same time, the Democratic party also veered to the right, and I’ve watched my liberal friends (and now, some of those conservative defectors) move to the progressive part of the democratic party.

It’s not that people’s opinions have changed, it’s that the parties have sold out their core values to appease big donors.

Prior generations in the US became more conservative as they aged. I don’t see that happening with my generation. Between that and demographic shifts, the Republican party is representing a rapidly shrinking minority of the population. I just wish the senate wasn’t so skewed toward conservative states and against city dwellers. 42 votes are controlled by a group of people the size of California.

Worse, the senate gets to appoint federal judges, so a minority of the US is electing the people that have exclusive control over court appointments (they simply refuse to appoint judges when there is a Democrat in the white house) and they’ve packed them with radicals.
Unless I'm missing something, this map might be pretty or impressive that it can be made, but it is entirely meaningless. Meaningless in that I don't know of significant meaning of breaking down the globe into 10° chunks whatsoever. This doesn't tell you anything about the cities shown, nor the area in which those cities exist. There is zero meaning in this map because no meaning can be derived from the filter process. The constraints have no relation to the data.

The article is cool that it takes a dive into the "odder" boxes and finds a flaw or two. The author also recognizes the arbitrary nature of the map. I imagine that almost any other filtering would be more interesting to geek out over though.

I am somewhat surprised by the popularity of this post here and on reddit, but then again that is sometimes how popularity works. The piece is presented well, just meaningless.

What happens if the lockout mechanism breaks and prevents a pilot from selecting gear down when the landing conditions are right?

There is no mechanism for that. The biometric hardware is local to your machine. I suppose the hardware could emit a "biometric fingerprint" that is transmitted to the server. And if anyone acquired your fingerprint they could unlock any site. Ok, so you could add some site specific salt to the process before sending the data. This is pretty close to just having a local password manager where the master key is biometric rather than a password.

But touch/faceID aren't implemented that way. They intentionally don't expose the biometric profile, that is kept local to the secure enclave. They instead just give you access to the secure enclaves keystore. Rather than signing data you could just use uniquely generated public keys like a password, or do something like signing a websites name with a private key to generate a password.

However, these approaches don't really make sense. The advantage of public-key cryptography is that you prove who you are WITHOUT SHARING the private/secret key. This is much more secure, because it prevents threat actors that don't have access to the private key from replicating the "proof" or signing process. This is what attestation is about. You can design alternative attestation schemes, but webauthn is pretty simple.

The allure of vertical farming also seems to lie in the "urban vs. rural" culture war, in that farming in cities claims to obviate rural existence
Strange that no one seems to ask whether the strident militancy is the perceived proportional response to a culture that at the level of public response doesn't seem to really care about the ongoing deprivation and harassment of the majority of Black America, the transparency of which was greatly accelerated by the growth of social media.

Poor Black folk in America aren't the only minority that ever rioted over perceived oppression. It's fascinating that in all this hangup over moral scrutiny no one seems to be able to recall the Paris Riots of 2005, which were a much greater feat of destruction of property on the part of Arab and North African minorities after police were deemed responsible for the deaths of ethnic teens.

Then, just as now, the majority ethnic French response was to sit around talking about why the crazy Brown people weren't formulating any concrete political demands in terms French institutions recognized, e.g., they're not communicating in our language so whatever..

Who is actually being intolerant and refusing to listen? It takes two to bare themselves as anyone in a long-term marriage would know. I don't think the rhetorical tactics of the social media Left are particularly well thought out but they're not without intelligibility either, and to refuse that this is not the case strikes me as just as much a lack of empathy, compassion, and ultimately, intolerance.

Edit: Also, Shklar's use of Nietzsche here is just hilarious. Nietzsche's political opinions are much more aligned with those of Carl Schmitt in that both think Republican Democracy is a sham, at best, since it attempts to pretend the problem of sovereign exception doesn't exist in order to fool people into thinking everyone has equal political power, and by derivation, antithetical to human flourishing. Both thought some form of neo-monarchy ("Great Politics" in Nietzsche, of whom Napoleon was the last vestige of in his mind) was the next step for governance in the West.

Not to mention both are sensitive to the fact that Western secular life is actually a species of Western Christianity, so its not like the criticism raised against "wokeness" are exclusive

Free speech != hate speech. There's a big difference between stating a reasoned point of view that some might find offensive and stating something that's intended only to offend. The first is essential to a free society and deserves our enthusiastic protection. The second is only destructive and should be shunned.

Behaving offensively is not strictly in the eye of the beholder. If you hate something/someone, do not share your opinion unless you're willing to provide a reasoned argument to support your conclusion. If you're not willing to do that, then we're done listening. That's not free speech.

Free speech should always be constructive, never just opinion -- especially a destructive one. The purpose of free speech is to make a positive contribution, support your assertion with facts and logic (and emotion, if you like), and then always be willing to discuss to the merits and demerits of your argument using civil discourse. Absent facts AND logic AND civil exchange... THAT'S NOT FREE SPEECH. It's just one person sounding off, often motivated by hate. That's not just offensive, that's intended only to offend. It's an assault on others. And assault is a crime.

Yes, the US First Amendment defends the free exchange of ideas. But if you're not willing to listen as well, to think, discuss, and consider alternative points of view, then protected Free Speech should not apply to you. Take your lust to offend and go away. You're not welcome here.
While you are making convincing case for that particular farm, let's take it into the next decade or two:

The difference between a U graduate and a non-U software developer is in the experience (and mindset) of fixing a problem vs scaling the solution. I.e., fixing the meta-problem.

A scalable solution is the one that becomes permanent, what moves the needle of the market, and what gets written up in history books.
Oh. My ears weren't going to wait to find out. (I needed to raise the one remaining channel to an uncomfortable level to hear properly.)
I didn't need an academic degree to start working in Haskell and learn abstractions such as "Traversal" or any of the others. Most of them are painfully simple compared to the impression one gets from their names and the jargon that comes with the territory.

However the benefits of sticking with those names and jargon is that it only needs to be explained once. Analogies and metaphors help when you're starting out but you don't need to keep them around. It makes speaking precisely with colleagues in the ecosystem easier.

Proofs are on another level. I've also written proofs and they require much more rigor than you will find in Haskell. It can still be done without a degree but I agree -- not useful for most line-of-business applications.

However the power-to-weight ratio of learning the abstractions available in Haskell is smooth. It takes effort to acquire but it pays off in spades. That's where the "scale" comes from.

Polymorphism combined with composition means that once I know a type implements "Traversal" I can use the entire language of traversals with those data types without knowing anything else about the value I'm working with. The more things that implement traversal the more rich my program becomes.
I worked at Nokia starting in about 2004. Looking back on my career, one of the single greatest feelings of accomplishment was getting a Hello World application to run on Symbian/S60. I thought I knew C++ going in, but I wasn't prepared for two phase constructors and the 6 files you'd need to draw a simple list view on the screen. Felt amazing once it worked though!

This is a highly deceptive description of the UN human rights rapporteur's report. The report claimed nothing about the veracity of the allegations that led to the Swedish investigation. Instead, it objected to the fact that Assange was detained without formal charges being made by the Swedish government.

To complain that this report reveals the allegations as "complete fabrications" is in itself a complete fabrication, and you ruin your own credibility by saying it.
