I feel for you on this. I was in the same boat. Even talking to musicians, they couldn't explain it to me with the rigor I wanted.

For me, the real insight came when I understood why the 12 note chromatic scale was chosen, why chords "sound good" and that a lot of the confusing terminology hides pretty simple concepts.

I don't feel like I could make any music, generative or otherwise, that sounds passable but here's what I've learned so far:

* As a good approximation of the human auditory system, frequencies are perceived on a logarithmic scale

* Rhythm is tied heavily with language and the tempo of speech, word length and frequency [0]

* Note combinations sound more "pleasing" when the ration of their frequencies are small as reduced fractions [1]

* The 12 note chromatic scale is a good compromise of number of notes and enough pleasantly sounding note combinations

* The 12 note chromatic scale is generated from a base frequency of 440Hz multiplied by the twelfth roots of 2

* The 12 note chromatic scale can be further restricted to the diatonic scales to help further restrict the note
set to allow for ease of composition

As far as I can tell, a lot of music theory centers around the different diatonic scales ("Ionian", "Aeolian", etc.), which are just restrictions of the chromatic 12 note scale to some notes that sound reasonable together. I have some very rough notes on it [2], though I'm not sure how readable it is.

I'm also in the same boat in terms of "instrument choice", though I would much rather invest in some live coding environment, like Gibber or Sonic Pi, or some software DAW system like LMMS. I still haven't found something that gets at the right level of functionality and abstraction that I want.

The point isn't that "liberal" is a dirty word. It's that when you throw all those things together it sounds not like a dispassionate description of reality but propaganda meant to motivate action against domestic political opponents -- not to help people in the city and heal society but to demonize them. The "law and order" platform has been around a long time and has always sounded like this.

Friendly reminder that Reuters is a UK news agency and has nothing in particular to gain from lying about this sort of thing (and everything to lose, since news agencies trade on credibility). but I'm sure QAnon already assumes they're part of the conspiracy. It has to. It is the nature of the conspiracy theory to address contradictions of fact by growing the conspiracy without bound until it encompasses everyone except the "true believers," who know what's "really going on." Somehow, it sadly never occurs to them that it is far more likely that the world is in fact round than a multi-decade multi-nation conspiracy is keeping a flat Earth secret.
Unfortunately human society also created conservatives, so we're not actually able to implement regulations.
I'm pretty sure that their future higher end CPUs, especially desktop ones, will vary in the number of cores, and the higher core count ones will cost obscene amount of money, as per usual. So unfortunately not only memory and storage.

No. Intoxication is generally considered to be mental impairment or a change of mental state, like mood, inhibition, etc. The warming feeling you get from alcohol is due to alcohol dilating blood vessels, moving more warm blood to your extremities and skin. It is a real physical reaction, not a mental perception. So while you might also be intoxicated, the warm feeling is not intoxication per se.

Your Boss Can Restrict Your Holiday Plans in the Pandemic
Commented out code is a terrible idea. It is the reason you look at source code and see it filled with garbage. When you have a developer who has no confidence in their code then you ask the usual question about requirements, testing, code review, etc. If it's still not committed then there's clearly a developer issue to workout with management.

When a developer fails to follow through on their tasks and takes extra time then this increases the budget of a project.

Did you even skim through the article? That's not the point at all :)
The problem I've found with this statement is that then no one ever changes formatting for fear of "messing up blame for the affected lines," and then no reformatting ever gets done. At some point, take the leap and do it (assuming you're not completely changing the formatting of the entire file/project/what-have-you).
Sure, but explain me why, please. Probably, I used it as a transliteration, english is my second language :)

HP ships nearly 50% more PCs. Dell sells just a few more. I don't know that I would say they are dominant, after a release of a single low power, high performing part.

What many in the Apple ecosystem are missing is the steady, rapid improvement in performance and efficiency coming from AMD, who apparently few have heard of, because only Intel CPUs were found in Apple for 14 years (and we're not all gamers!)

In early 2020, AMD released massively dominate laptop CPUs, but OEMs have only tepidly adopted them. It looks like about 20% of notebooks are now being sold with AMD, and that number is going to grow in 2021, as the lead time for new designs using AMD will have elapsed.

https://www.pcworld.com/article/3569437/amds-notebook-pc-sha...

I'm not saying these AMD chips are better than Apples - the battery life is at best half!

Although, I can't help but read your comment as satire! "What if PC components were modular!" I also enjoy building sets from LEGO bricks, and putting together my computer from parts!
Well, yes, if you mean Guantanamo. As for the embassy itself, it is there only at the pleasure of the hosting government and of the United States. If Cuba wants the embassy gone, it merely has to tell them to leave. Sickening or crippling the staff does nothing to, say, help the cause of recovering Guantanamo Bay.

I know I'm missing something, because I don't think this would happen if there weren't an advantage of some sort somewhere. I just don't see how it's to the advantage of the hosting country. In fact, I would think it works against the interests of the hosting country.

> This is Apple's opportunity to become a hardware giant.

You meant this as a joke, didn't you?

Just in case you didn't: Apple already is a, if not the hardware giant - it became the first trillion-dollar company a year ago and just passed the $2 trillion mark in August.
The reason is probably to safe money. The bug bounty for a critical RCE would be between 10k$ and 20k$ depending on the quality of the report.
Important Spoofing is rated for 3k$ and 500$.

So that is basically a giant middle finger to the security researchers.

I hope somebody can clarify this
This is why i had hopes for AI blockchains as the data and trained models or functional algorithms could be verifiably provable as increasing usability/productivity/efficiency etc. You could still say your device/robot didn't improve, but if you continued using the models or algorithms then that would be noticeable. You would have to know they were still being used though, so you would need a time-sensitive encryption that calls home to activate, and if used in multiple instances you'd know that too. But reverse engineering the encryption to get the secret sauce sounds like a workaround. It could be made difficult for average folk, but not impossible. The real advantage would be micro/nano-payments and fee-less transactions since the device is the "miner", ie. by not using BTC/ETH etc.

At the end of the day a subscription model is probably easier.
Yep, otherwise the feedback loop does not work. It works best if people at every stage question if their company is doing something wrong instead of selecting some high income people to blame and take all the liability. After all every worker should be incentivised to have skin in the game through stock compensation
I am not denying the overall urgency of the problem or the need to work together in a global scale to save the world. But, such massive efforts don't start themselves or gain momentum so easily. It all has to start somewhere and get people to think about it and rally for the bigger cause. This one act alone or Denmark alone might not make a dent in the current need, but it sure can trigger a lot of tiny little efforts that lead up to something big that will eventually make that dent.

Heck, the US might see what it did to Denmark and start its own version to compete and make "green" money. Being dismissive of good faith effort doesn't take us anywhere.
Could this unify LaTeX and MathJax? I feel like any rewrite of LaTeX that could address portability would be a huge plus.
> . It should be the most powerful desktop you can get for that tag.

It should not, the most powerful machine you can get tends to be the one you build yourself from components sourced from competing suppliers. This is one of the reasons people build 'Hackintosh' machines, trading design and branding for raw power.

The one thing that Intel has at the moment is x86 and the historic effort that has gone into generating and optimising code for the x86 instruction set. Sharing that with three other vendors (think three other AMDs all competing with Intel) would catastrophically undermine their CPU business.

In any event it's too late. They maybe had an chance of fending off Arm a few years ago - by the time any licensing now kicks in Arm will have established itself in the server / PC market.

So the only sensible strategy for Intel is to make the most of x86 whilst they can.
