I love this little sub-thread. I don't know what it is about piano in particular that brings out the nail-biting. You don't seem to get that with guitar for example. What I like is that there's a lot of concern-for-others visible, which is admirable. The place where it strays into misplaced concern though (kind of as usual in life) is where in some cases there's a disproportionate intensity of concern that seems to indicate projection of each writer's own unconscious issues. I will now proceed to probably project my own, but just keep in mind... Why should someone care so much how someone else learns piano or how much piano they learn? And why should the 2nd someone care what the 1st someone thinks in the first place?

Mira, does it sound good, ¿sí o no? That's the only thing you need to ask yourself. If it sounds bad, try harder. (Or don't. Since it's for you and has no meaning except what you bring to it, and since it's near-worthless as a way to pay the bills, you're kind of free to do whatever. Maybe that freedom demotivates some people. That too is fine.)

The argument for a structured approach or formal lessons tends to be that it prevents learning "bad habits." But what's wrong with finding that out for yourself, i.e. finding out that you learned a bad habit by progressing to the point that you notice the habit is bad? And then you either live with it (as many of them will actually be pretty inconsequential) or work to change it.

I can even make a case that unlearning a bad habit is superior in some ways to never developing it. Because first of all, the way you reach "good piano player" status is always by passing through "shitty piano player" status, but secondly, an analogy: The way you mature to the point where you see that, let's say doing drugs (another bad habit for some people) isn't so good for you, is by doing drugs and then quitting, not by "just saying no" from the getgo. What the fuck does a Nancy Reagan type know about drugs? Someone who quits drugs knows all about it. Ah but the additional knowledge takes (or if you think in terms of maximizing piano throughput like some industrial process, it wastes) additional time. If your parents have you convinced that your survival depends on getting early-admitted to Juilliard by age 14, yeah that is gonna hurt you. You can't spare the time to do it "wrong" or even to question whether doing it is bringing you any joy in the first place for that matter. But if you're willing to wait until age 18 for Juilliard, that gives you another 4 years to unlearn the bad habit. Plenty of time. 4 more years of playing piano, which is what you were trying to do in the first place.

What is bad about a company culture where going for maximum emotional impact over a weighted approach causes an uproar? (I'd be much more wary about one where it doesn't, because it tells me employees expect the company to yank their chain, and expect bad treatment from other teams, and know complaining about it won't help. that's a broken environment.)
I can't tell, but it seems like you have unrealistic expectations for security teams. One the one hand, you handwave about how things are 'their problem', and on the other dismiss standard methods and models as baseless self-justification.

I would turn down a position reporting to someone with this combination of attitudes - I'm pretty sure my hands would be tied, only there to take them blame when the inevitable happened.

Hello, I like the idea of calm companies but wonder if your idea of what that means could be different to mine. So do you have a manifesto or suchlike?
The EU has no more decision making power in Britain either. Power output of vacuums. Power output of tea kettles. Rules around washing machines, the shape of cucumbers..

Some of those rules have been reformed, however that they existed in the first place was a ridiculous overreach of EU power.

Why, for example, is vacuum cleaner power regulated by the EU? Why can’t people sell and buy vacuums that meet their needs? If I have a need for a 3000 watt vacuum, he EU won’t let me have it, even though I pay not only for the product, but any power it consumes.

Remember trade is a two way street. If the EU wants access to the UK market, they’ll have to play by UK rules.

"At the outset, the court notes the unusual nature of these requests: defendant is asking the court to seal an opposing party's pleadings. In ordinary course, such a request is improper. The FAC is plaintiff's pleading and, within the bounds of Rule 11, it is free to allege what it wants independent of any stricture defendant wishes to impose. The court understands, however, that plaintiff has taken discovery and that the FAC is more detailed than an ordinary verified pleading. Given that difference, the court will consider these requests."

The declaration filed by one of Faceook's legal staff to support this absurd request gets absolutely skewered.

This comment is so terribly bad, end-to-end, from the linked "sources" that say nothing even close to the statement they are supposed to support, to punctuation, to cherry-picking and misrepresenting some specific half-truths, I'm not entirely sure if it isn't intended to disparage opposition to the EU by making that opposition look stupid.

I don't think the claim that human-level intelligence entails human ambitions has been substantiated. Why could you not have a system that does things as intelligently as a human but without a will of its own? It would only make sense if having human values and goals is necessary to having intelligence but I don't see how that could be true.

It sounds bad, but it actually means that Britain gets to export everything they exported before to the EU (so the EU is no worse off), but now the UK have no say on the rules for what they are allowed to export or not.

As a silly example, if the EU decided to ban any candy painted in british racing green, the UK would have to abide by that decision; while, if it were in the EU, it could have likely blocked it.
Exactly. Introducing new things out of nowhere that just happen to be exactly what the characters need right then is poor writing IMHO. It breaks my suspension of disbelief, pulls me out of the story, and makes it much harder to enjoy.
You also have to realize that it's a feedback cycle, the more interfaces that converge the more users just get used to them, over and over, so decisions get made that tighten then loop. And then you get something like Unity and gnome 3 :D
The App Store already does exactly this, though. The only difference is that the gating is by OS version rather than payment.

An Xcode deploy target can require a minimum OS version, and when an app's minimum version increases with an update, the update is not available to users who haven't updated their device. If the device doesn't support the new OS version, the user is stuck with the last version supported on the old OS, and will not receive any future patches.
Huh. Did the ToS / other sale media mention that this was a time-limited feature?

I have seen things like google maps integrations listed with expiration dates on non-subscription software. It's unfortunate for users, but I do think it's reasonable for some of these "depends on a third party" features to expire (or when they change APIs), as otherwise it's implying perpetual upkeep, which will absolutely not happen. It just needs to be communicated... and crashing the program when that occurs is just plain inexcusably bad.
I think the point is you don't have to deal with anything else. You only have to set state!

They shouldn't be including expiring software in something that they sold as perpetual.

This sounds like a class-action waiting to happen. Your users bought your software with a specific usecase and premise, and it stopped working.

It seems you are. I'd encourage you to read briefly through [1] that I linked above, it shows why hooks are needed rather than just functions. Basically you're passing state around in a Closure such that you can hook into life cycles from any part of the app. This means that I can create a self contained hook for something like making an animation for a component and making it usable for any component I want, rather than wrapping everything into an AnimationComponent just to get the lifecycle state. I can reuse this behavior anywhere else in the app.

Back in 2014 I found his lectures, and many of the other videos in the course very useful. Coincidentally, at the time of the course I was launching a software product and by applying some of the concepts learnt in the course it became something that is now bringing some $600K yearly in mostly passive income. So you do not need to go all the way in start up mode to get value from it. Reharshing the obvious is still great advice. We all have lots of blind spots.
I read it as "should business be responsible for decisions it makes" or "should a business satisfy its contractual obligations". I feel it simplifies the matter greatly.

That's the French referendum on establishing a European Constitution (ratifying the TCE), held _decades_ after they were already a member of the EU. It's nothing to do with entering the EU, and _can't _ speak for most EU citizens (as it's only France). Further, the TCE was not ratified.
Yes, it is genuinely a good policy. It results in happy employees not being penalized for not shopping around for offers.

Something like this sounds totally reasonable to me (I've just written this for the sake of discussion):

In the medical world you have standards (HL7, DICOM, XDS) which are all about throwing large amounts of data around hospital networks (and in the case of XDS - outside). It's a castle with moat model of security - everything within the network is trusted and they focus on keeping the bad guys out.

Obviously that's a horrible strategy and it delivers the expected results..
Provenance is also used in wine and art where a chain of custody, which the value largely hinges on, must be through trustworthy people or institutions.

More interestingly, both wine and art have had their provenance hinges widely exploited for massive profit while posh people think they're enjoying something exclusive.
Not quite. Run your tests on an old machine. I remember testing some software over a slow dial-up line (1990s) and it was possible to see how slowly certain actions were painted on the screen. Being able to see that allowed me to make optimisations I wouldn't otherwise have considered.

> I'm curious why you think RISC-V is the future and not ARM

I don't really, I was just keeping the comment short and avoiding the ire of any RISC-V fans. It could be either, but it's important to remember that instruction sets don't usually win solely based on merit.

For example, if you read most compiler books - because they were written in the early 2000s or late 90s, they spend almost all of their time discussing various RISC architectures (particularly the Alpha). The (then) 386 is usually mentioned in passing, ARM isn't even mentioned at all.

(You probably can guess what I'm getting towards) They're all dead, somehow ARM lives. It's also not really a question of money, Itanium wasn't that bad and Intel couldn't save it.

If I were God, the only CPU that I really really want to see make it to Silicon (even just to see if they're right) is the Mill. Even if they can't walk the walk it's a really nice concept (I think the belt will see use after their patent expires)
I suspect it's due to fundamentally different ownership forces acting on the ISAs. ARM may be a good choice now, but it's recently been put into the hands of someone who has a stake in the market which buys ARM licenses (Nvidia), and became non-neutral.

ISAs change, and there was a recent article written about this particular situation too: https://codasip.com/2020/12/22/does-isa-ownership-matter-a-t...
it might be ,,fair,, but it,s also a failure to be addressed, a missed opportunity to improve the software, which turns into a poor experience for the user.

I sympathise over trumps recent pardons.

One of the few really interesting powers of the US president is the (mass) pardon. Carter pardoned everyone who skipped the Vietnam draft.

If Trump wanted to improve his legacy (and throw some feces on the way out), he could mass pardon all non-violent federal Canabis offenderd or even add other drugs to that list. President would be on his side, it would be very popular with anyone young and 30 states have legalised it already so why not right a moral wrong?
For panic attacks there are meds. They help a lot to feel calm. Panic attacks or constant fear doesn't help you in life, they prevent you from living. Ask for meds, they help a lot if you struggle with anxiety disorder.

The perspective you have may change, I've seen a 105 year old talking he was so tired of life. If you are in constant pain, or horrible situation, life suddenly isn't so great.

Life is great when you are young, so enjoy it. The future doesn't exist yet, so don't overthink it.
