microtonal harmonic grids free from the rigors of 12-tet (i.e. midi, i.e. the keyboard)

but don't get me wrong, 12-tet is an incredible accomplishment on its own. but it's what it is because of (now obsolete) physical constraints of instrument building.

I've been trying to think about how to go beyond 12 tet for years. I recently read this quote on a (unrelated nothing to do with music) book[1] "So it's a bit like a piano
that has a meta-key that lets you add new keys." which summarizes my goal better than I've ever been able to.

Trump's policies towards communist china were so bad that rex tilerson is on record as saying that at the end of his time working for trump we were farther behind with china than we were when he took office.

Biden has to repair our US hegemony. Trump sure hurt it a lot in spite of his anti-china rehtoric.

Selling weapons to taiwan doesn't contain china. We will send our own guns if a hot war is brewing there.

Taiwan recognition is not the same thing as meaningfully containing china. The TPP and asia pivot from obama was the last time that america seriously tried to restrain the rise of china.
Right, but the context here is not the guy seeking help. It's him explaining why he thinks it's okay for his girlfriend (now wife) to work with vulnerable children while he actively produces content fantasizing about raping children.

Why did they even hire such a controversial person in the first place? It's baffling how they're doubling down on defending her after her previous actions. I wonder if this'll all cool down in a couple of days with everyone forgetting about this or if there'll be a new established rhetoric in inflammatory communities like 'reddit admins are confirmed pedophiles'.
fascinating, thanks for sharing. The idea that a formal theory of beauty could belong within the memeplex of complexity theory is really interesting. I find that complexity theory itself is full of beautiful concepts, so perhaps it's no surprise.

It is common for sexual abusers to have been abused as children themselves. Her father was a pedophile. There is a decent chance she was abused, which would explain the weird behaviour.
I get fly-bys from bald eagles in the traffic pattern at an airport I frequent. Even from the cockpit they look enormous. Definitely don’t want one of those monsters to wind up on a leading edge.

Incidentally it’s interesting how many raptors seem to like hanging around in airport traffic patterns. I realize there’s a bit of a selection bias here, but I do work at similar altitudes away from airports and sightings aren’t nearly as common out in the field. I like to think they’re reminding the metal birds who’s boss.

I wasn't aware that there was a single protest event that included 10s of millions of people in the US. If you count all people that were involved in any protest during the last year, I'd expect the numbers in HK to be significantly higher still.

It's also not a competition, nobody is trying to diminish the US protests, but I don't think that events of a similar magnitude would have gone down as peaceful in the US.

I'm not sure how this actually applies to D? There are definitely niggles with how dmd is currently implemented but they are usually quite hard to bump into day to day.
I am contrasting juries and representative systems (republican ideas) with "raw democracy," which is fundamentally mob rule.

We haven't always viewed the Athenians as "learned men". Polybius judged Athens negatively: he saw the Athenians as an example of mob rule. We also have ancient commentators like the Old Oligarch, who was critical of Athenian democracy (though he saw its utility).

Of course the measures I mentioned to curtail mob rule are not completely effective. What I'm saying is, we seem to be in the process of reinventing the wheel and so let's take look at our existing vehicles, which function fairly well.
Isn't the exact opposite true? Energy star certified electronics are more efficient, LEED certified building are too, solar panels return more energy than they cost... That's what defines green tech, though it does get misused in marketing...
Difficult? Yes, a billion times yes.

Most of the stress on land comes from exclusionary laws. People with power don’t want poorer people (and especially people of another race) to live near them—attributing their success to their efforts and labeling their own servants as parasites[1] and deadbeats—and pass laws that make housing affordability impossible. Thus, people need to drive long distances to jobs and live in disinvested communities in order to participate in regional economies.

The worst offenders are actually not cities, but the inner suburbs surrounding cities. Cities are filled with guilty settlers who want to help less fortunate people but are unable to let go of the systems of power, while their suburbs are usually created for the purpose of segregation and repeatedly reaffirm their desire for segregation.[2]

Meh, there are a million easier ways than this to email someone a bad word (that too fully anonymously, which this isn't), so not sure why this is such a big deal.
To argue alongside your excellent points: it's not just bit warmer wires, but also the underlying voltage drop that would be harmful in such a design, especially in the context of a 1V DC supply.
Awesome response, it looks like most of these phones are still rather old though. I know that some cheaper Chinese phones have bootloader as you can completely unlock without going through the OEM process.
Improve existing stuff, add new stuff. That can be done with backwards compatibility if you have a well defined API. I haven't looked at Gnome's API in years so I'm not sure what's its state, but one shining example for this is Redis which is backwards compatible to 11 years ago.

Another great and more relevant example is browsers.
I applaud the effort. Very impressive work. I appreciate the free access to this, but will be buying, if / when I have time to work through some of the lessons :)
The 600kbps mentioned in FAQ 6 is for the hotspot plan. FAQ 7 specifically states you will not be throttled, but will be de-prioritized, but user reports that they are seeing 600 kbps speeds are all over the place. Perhaps they're incorrectly reporting the situation, but it feels to me like Verizon is being dishonest.

I really wish there were some good consumer reviews of these services, that include this critical behavior mode many of us will have to suffer.
Wait til you see Golden Eagles :) We have a mating pair of Balds and it is fun to watch their young get bigger and then take off. Every year around the same time, we have a giant Golden that cruises around the lake and forest. The first time I saw it, I couldn't believe how big it was. Like, over a 7ft wingspan. I realize Balds are close, but this Golden one is a monster.
I benchmarked Node.js on V8 vs Node.js on GraalVM (Graal Node) and GraalVM performed worse due to floating point issues and used more memory.
This gets brought up a lot. And it's a bit of a doozy to make sense of.

First, consider the context: the CEO (spez) was an easy punching bag on the_donald subreddit, in fact it was a bit of a meme there to attack reddit's admins (and those in the know do know that the attacks were often crossing a line, like accusing them of being pedophiles and things of the nature). The change that spez made was a bit of a joke itself, it was turning an attack on its head. If the edit had been made in the early early days of Reddit, especially in the jokey context it was made in, I don't think anyone would have batted an eyelash. But in the last few years, right around the time these things happened, it became clear that Reddit is a big deal.

I think what I'm trying to say is, whatever may be your feelings of Reddit and its stature, this particular act by spez was pretty insignifiant in the grand scheme of things. Indeed the subreddit that this happened in actually no longer even exists, the_donald and similar subreddits were banned to make Reddit a friendlier place such that it's now an easier decision for corporate America to put ads on there.
This depends what you think about virtual particles and quantum foam.

The new 'trim referrer by default' in Firefox 87 [1] was already enabled in private mode only, some months/weeks ago. So maybe they will make it default everywhere after some weeks? Maybe after working out any kinks?

I thought I could use this to my advantage and game the system. I convinced management we needed to hire a prestigious consultant to get us out of the tight spot we were in. They were absolutely ecstatic about this great visionary I had brought in and all the genius insights he had (which was predictably just what the team had been saying for moths).

But it still came back to bite me in the end. When the consultant was paid and gone, there was suddenly no time anymore to act on any of the advice. It was all back to to the perpetual "just make this one simple feature" cycle, but the most insulting thing was hearing a twisted version of the consultant's advice used as ammunition against the team, questioning its competence.
They never recovered from the Diggification. So weird to remember it from 2010 and think that it would eventually host the_donald and other white supremacy subreddits that sealed its Eternal September.
> I think D would be better served focusing on a vertical.

I don't know what that means
Oh yeah. Very majestic birds, until you see a dozen of 'em squabbling over prime spots on the village garbage scow. Alaska is on an entirely different level.
First time I've felt cautiously optimistic about 'Intel the company' in 10+ years. I think it's possible Intel makes a comeback, but it'll be several years. Hope the new IBM research partnership becomes more integrated as well, I can only imagine positive outcomes from trying to consolidate fundamental semi research there.

Compared to GE... there's been more structural changes to GE over the years which would hurt its ability to regain a useful position in vertical integration from where they're at - they need multiple decades of long term planning to get around this, especially as their industrial side becomes increasingly costly. This is unlike Intel, who is still in a "good" position to pivot on the reality that x86 is a lot less valuable compared to 2009 into a more up-to-date vertical monopoly.
Tell me about it

Startup times will probably change quite a lot for apps that use the GPU. I've noticed some performance work being done recently around startup times.

It was a single time, and in a way that was an obvious joke (literally just regex to switch his name with mods' names). It's not exactly heinous, what he did.
I'm confused. Your comment talks about her father and her fiance. What did she do?

"Amiee Chancellor is a despicable human being" is pretty heavy, but the only thing related to her in your comment is that "she forged documents in order to hire him as her election agent." Not cool, but is there more here?
Hahahahahha. Reddit was a haven for literal child porn and is still today a haven for "jailbait" content. God I hope the "waiting"/"grooming" subs that were for lewding over pics of under-18s got banned.

Reddit might have cleaned their act up a bit but it still a gross wild west.
You left out some context: he did that in a (failed) attempt at lulz. It was a long thread where (IMHO) he was fielding tough questions pretty frankly and honestly, as one might hope he would, but he ruined it by editing someone's post to troll them. In context, it was obvious that he did it, he wasn't trying to be sneaky.

I'm not justifying it; obviously it was dumb, given that people are still using it to denigrate him years later. But the implication that this means he is more likely to have edited other peoples' posts surreptitiously is (again IMHO) not true.
I still haven't seen what your suggested course of action is?

Alright, let's say I have a neighbor playing loud music at 2am. I walk down, ask nicely if they'd turn it down. They ignore me. What then? What am I supposed to do from that point?
One can believe in the system but still doubt it when personally affected by one of it's decision, as hypocrite as it might appear on a surface level, that's actually an entirely human reaction.

Pretty much everybody would ere on the side of the accused when they happen to be somebody they are very close with, like a parent, sibling or child, due to the emotional attachment we tend to have to people like that vs strangers.
I’m also interested in a mail forwarding service that can be used as residential address and won’t give any issue with financial institutions, if you have any to recommend :-)
This is the kind of content I'd like to see less of on Hacker News.

> Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

There are other platforms (Reddit) where there's plenty of discussion around topics like this.

Not to say that HN should be a bastion of blissful techie ignorance, but it would be nice to be able to filter out sad, political, or controversial content.
'Censorship', or censorship?

Or small dog. I was at a campground in Alaska that had plenty of signs posted re: keeping your pets indoors. Well, someone chose to let their little poodle out of their RV and an eagle took a chance to have a snack.

The aftermath looked like someone hit a feather pillow with a shotgun.

> Why would non-idealists use this phone when the alternative they already have in their pocket and know how to use can do everything the PinePhone can do?

Nobody expects them to.

People will use it when it does something the alternative they already have cannot do.

Using the term ‘idealists’ is perjorative but more importantly, it implies confusion about why people buy this phone.

The people who buy the phone today do so because it allows them to do things which the alternatives cannot. I.e. the purchase is pragmatic. This is the precise opposite of idealism.
> It was a single time

That we know of that he admitted.
Ack! Why isn't the web app featured prominently on your homepage? I bounced when I saw the Mac-only requirement, and almost abandoned checking out your product any further until I found your comment/link at the bottom of this thread.

Another app that aims to "fix" workday tasks? It's hard to see why this is better and choosing Electron is a red flag. Reminds me of the email client wars from years ago.

Wow you're not joking... `dmd` is around 40x faster than `rustc` and 16x faster than `zig`! How the hell they've done it?
Absolutely. My comment was meant as a generalization.
Ugh, what a ball of mud. Well, I think there are two problems here: first, that Reddit has a bug in its anti-abuse software, and second the mob decided to abuse Reddit for hiring this woman who's history is, at worst, questionable.

This is "cancel culture" in a very dangerous form, one that if taken to its conclusion, could prevent someone from ever being employed again. That is a very harsh punishment, handed out without a trial or defense, it is NOT justice.

Furthermore, it puts a potentially chilling effect on employers, and harm employees. The first reaction of employers will be to keep their employee identities entirely secret, and to enforce that secrecy in the work contract. This will harm workers who want to move to a different job, and talk about the work they did.

My firm hope is that this protest is more an emphatic bug report than a mob looking to murder someone's career after spending about 30 seconds thinking about it from all sides.
There is really no excuse for what he did and most other businesses would have fired him immediately. Reddit simply has a very immature corporate culture. Post-IPO (if they get that far) I would expect a massive clean-out.
"The orders instruct him to not make public any information that would identify A.B., or the medical professionals involved, to call A.B. by the child’s preferred name and gender pronoun, and to not share his opinions of the case publicly."

"In June 2020, C.D. gave an interview to a YouTube channel, where he’s alleged to have identified health-care providers, revealed information about A.B.’s mental health, medical status or treatments, and gave out information that could reveal C.D., A.B. and the mother’s identity."

"“This order should not restrict C.D.’s right to express his opinion in his private communications with family, close friends and close advisors, provided none of these individuals is part of or connected with the media or any public forum, and provided C.D. obtain assurances from those with whom he shares information or views that they will not share that information with others,” the court said."

It sounds like his arrest is more due to him repeatedly discussing the case in public rather than the pronouns he used.

You said:

Being unaware of something is orthogonal to being affected by it.

You truly believe that being aware of something and being affected my that same thing are independent and uncorrelated? So if a bomb goes off, my awareness of it is not at all dependent on, or correlated with, whether or not I was in the blast zone (and thus affected by it)?

Edit: The parent has edited their comment since my reply to be more specific. I'm not sure I agree, but it's now not as obviously wrong as I outlined here.
Just a job that doesn't involve interacting with and moderating a community seems reasonable. Nobody would be upset if she was, say, a software engineer quietly fixing bugs in application logic for tax software.
Ask HN: How do you manage SSH keys?
Seems like Github's move to SSH keys only is a good one. I suck at keeping my SSH keys organized and remembering what's what. How do you keep your SSH keys organized?

Do you make notes in the .ssh/config file?
Do you use another tool to keep track of it?
Is it a GUI tool or a TUI or CLI tool?
The obvious answer is because diversity trumps qualifications, and Silicon Valley companies are desperate to get their diversity numbers up.
You'd almost need to invent a technology to efficiently separate them from their shells, not to mention harvesting them in the first place. They glue themselves to their substrate quite strongly, and my experience is that rather than pull off, any attempt to grab them instead pulls them apart.

He's been remarkably open every time he's changed user content (once with a post in 200...7? I think, and the single time he edited comments).

I don't like reddit, and I don't like spez for other reasons (downgraded from Lisp to Python), but what he did was literally just a harmless joke. All reddit posts and comments are publicly archived by services like pushshift; we'd know if they had a habit of doing this.

I just wanted to point out something out:

Welcome to logical structure parsing. Believe it or not, internal consistency in language snd action is actuallu a pretty hard thing to get right, easy (and natural) to dismiss out of hand. In philosophy, we call it the self-referential inconsistency, and there is a shocking number of the population who not only indulge in it, but get very upset when you point it out due to the cognitive dissonance that comes from it. It really gets the lizard brain going. Bmwhen you strip away the emotional aspects of it though, you will find that there are linguistic roots of almost every conflict. It isn't the way of life the selected words represent that is at issue, but the words assembled by the other party that are at issue.

I second there is a level of immaturity at work, but not with Stallman; instead it is with his detractors. They take any challenge to the respect or superiority of chosen pronoun use as an act of transphobia. It is not. It is an adherence to clear unambiguous communication. They create the perception of transphobia in their own minds where it simply isn't just as readily as the oft derided "conspiracy theorists" see nefariousness behind every corner. His actions, nor his words are transphobic. His detractors, however, are phobic of everyone else that just doesn't care, or prioritizes things differently.

Which, I might add, is just something you learn to deal with as life goes on to get things done.
Thanks for the thorough explanation!
The problem is that all of the mega content creators and moderators use old reddit due to RES and the other extensions (and the better UX). I think they’ll build a equivalent to TweetDeck that can be used for more powerful content creation (automatic xposting, timed posts, performance stats) and sunset old reddit, maybe with a throwback theme on new reddit. And then I’ll finally quit.
Ummm, still no self-hosting method.
