While the sheet music is, the performance by other artists - as your own performance - is not. That's the issue the algorithm is having here (not defending).

The automated system would need to "understand" that this is indeed a new performance of a public domain piece of sheet music and not a reproduction of a copyrighted performance by somebody else. Even if you were note for note playing exactly the same (tempo and whatnot) with the same instrument tuned the same way. I think this would be an argument against automated systems. Whether a human could know that my bike-ride was scored by myself and not somebody else is doubtful though.

On the other hand, I do understand that people do not want their individual performances to be used without licence and there may be many such performances.
Please understand that this is subjective - some people will have good experiences with a language, and some people won't, and thats okay. That's the nature of languages.

But yeah, I use Scala at work for what should be a simple crud app, and I absolutely hate it. Never felt less productive in my life.

The biggest problem with Scala is the type system. Types are great for catching bugs _within_ a program, but don't really help much for catching bugs when the program interacts with the outside world, which CRUD apps do a lot with a database. So I'm paying the cost of having to learn this complex type system and all the wacky ways the type checker can fail, but I'm not reaping much of the benefits that comes from actually using Scala's type system.

And if I'm not using Scala's type system, then what's the compelling reason for choosing it over Kotlin, or even Java?

I don't think the DMCA replaces the scary letters. The scary letters existed because they were more effective than the DMCA. Threatening to sue someone is always and always has been totally an option. The reason scary letters don't get sent right now is because it's easier to just have Youtube remove the video.

If that went away the next easiest option (scary letters) would happen again. DMCA or not.
Yeah, this is a load of nonsense. The worst part is this essays ahistorical line of thinking. Like highlighting the Romans bad behavior without examining things like the crusades and chattel slavery which used Christianity as a defense. And it’s Christian supremacist since he leaves out the Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, and any other religion that believes in human rights.

Patrick Collision is from an ordinary family in Ireland, and Harj Taggar is from an ordinary family in England. Daniel Gackle is a humble employee of YC, and is routinely attacked in the course of doing his job. Even Trevor Blackwell, Jessica Livingston, Robert Morris and PG were "ordinary" people until having success with Viaweb (except JL) and then YC, not all that long ago. So they all know what it's like to be nobodies trying their best against all odds, even if they (at least some of them) are not in that place any more.

Yeah and before that they were infants who couldn’t even manage their own bodily functions and were unable to practice even the most basic impulse control. Perspectives change.

The problem, in at least some instances, might be that after the upbringing you describe they became extremely wealthy and isolated from the concerns of average people and lived that way for quite awhile.

If you do that for long enough you do, in fact, have a tendency to completely lose track of what it’s like to be a nobody. Sort of like how you probably aren’t as connected to shitting yourself in public and screaming for hours for no reason as you were at one point in your life.

BSH says cold water is okay, warm water only up to 60 °C (!).

I'm under the impression most dishwashers follow pretty much the same design. There's an inlet valve, usually just the aqua-stop itself, which feeds into the water/ducting plate, which also acts as a heat-exchanger between waste water and water intake. Another two valves control the water softener (to switch between normal operation and regeneration using salt water, which is what the salt you put into it is for). Fresh water runs into the pump sump, which contains the waste water pump, which is controlled by a water level switch connected to the inlet (which also turns the aqua-stop off). The pump sump has a third connection, going into the pressure pump, followed by the water heater, that then goes to the washing arms. The water-clearness sensor (which is just a light barrier) is located in this path.

So overall there are remarkably few actuators and sensors:

- Three valves
- Two pumps
- One heater
- One solenoid to release the powder / tab latch
- Outlet temperature sensor at the heater
- Thermal cutoff integrated in the heater
- Water clarity sensor
- Level sensor
If the people that remain behind are at peace with the decision it doesn't really matter 'what might have been'.

Also, taking away the 'easy' option means that a large number of people will do it in a way that is more gruesome and much harder for the people left behind.

libvirt is mainly a consistency wrapper. So you can use kvm or lxc.

It's more than that; the soundscape you hear is all in your head. You don't have "direct" experience of anything! So there's not really any distinction between "real" and "made up" sounds.

I don’t disagree. But that’s the tradeoff I’m talking about. Letting others do it for you means giving up control; the limiting case is being abused by YouTube. If you have money, you can hire people to do this for you. But most people can’t afford to hire their own “engineers”. These are the choices.
I am not an expert but libvirt is not only for qemu but it supports various virtualization technologies such as Xen, LXC, VMware. So if you decide to stick with QEMU then I guess you don't need to use libvirt.

> > I think the centralization plus trusting a company is the issue,

Do you think that the scale of YT is achieved without centralization?

Given the reality that a lack of a centralizing force like YT would just shift copyright adjudication to actual courts and be more expensive and higher stakes for all involved and probably have a similar error rate and bad actors like Prenda, I’d agree that a relatively benignly uncaring Corp without access to police and prisons is better than the court route.

Even if they're in two opposite ends of India? Also, I don't want to take sides, but all other parties rallied during elections so why single out BJP? Once again, I'm strictly against these gatherings and I firmly believe that they should be banned without delay but this selective outrage is rather obvious that the agenda or the narrative is something else altogether.
There is a difference between trains and trains. I think the english language could use a different word for both =)

A long-haul passenger train is perfectly capable of paying for itself even if the route isn't going on a 30 minute interval. This is the kind which has all kinds of on-board amenities.

Not so much for a local commuter train, with mostly plain seating and maybe a toilet in every other car. This is basically a bus on rails.
Most audio codecs by now use perceptual noise substitution, which potentially substitutes in identical noise (I think it just EQs it?).
I would not really take AlJazeera as a un-biased source. For one, in the article above, it mentions the massive rallies by the ruling party, BJP, but does not mention anything about rallies by other political parties, like Congress, TMC and others.

A google search highlights only rallies of BJP.

I found only 1 site that talks about other rallies.

How do you not feel stress anymore? I started taking on less and expecting less in order to manage my stress levels and it worked. I also started listening to my own rhythm but that translates sometimes to brain dead days and other times with very productive days. I accepted that and am no longer pushing. But I still take on things but at a slower pace. Id still avoid taking on as much as I was doing in my early 20s, that would not end up well for me. How do you manage it?

Doesn’t mean it’s not going to work. Doesn’t mean that, if it works, that’s not a harsh indictment of the industry, or that if it becomes the norm it won’t enable worse (spying of various sorts seems like an obvious application of this, which maybe people wouldn’t be so upset about if it weren’t so damn normal for tech companies to head that way)

None of that’s mean to express, under the circumstances.

Well, imagining it from the buyer's perspective, if I bought Audacity then now I can make changes to it and while there may be other forks, these changes will be likely be recognized as "the" Audacity.

So if for example I wanted to cross-promote my other products or add a "pro" paid version of some sort, I could do that, and those would end up in the main version most people are downloading.

Why do you think all those things would satisfy those that suffer from systemic discrimination? Presumably there would still be a bias towards promotion, opportunities and compensation. Great if you get healthcare from the govt but I don’t think people are suddenly going to stop these types of complaints.
The key to salaried employment is establishing a monopoly you can exploit; 'corporate entrepreneurship'.

You work very hard at something in a company and become the expert / unreplacable. Then, spend some time automating those tasks. After doing that for a few years, you can then spend much, much less time 'working' since your work is being done for your by machines you manage.
I might be wrong but I dont think the brain actually expends 'more' energy in intensive cognitive tasks in the way you suggest.

"As Harrington explained, "The brain is able to shunt blood [and thus energy] to particular regions that are being active at that point. But the overall energy availability in the brain is thought to be constant." So, while there might be significant spikes in energy use at localized regions of the brain when we perform difficult cognitive tasks, when it comes to the whole brain's energy budget overall, these activities don’t significantly alter it."

"Elite chess players are under intense pressure that causes stress, which can lead to an elevated heart rate, faster breathing and sweating. Combined, these effects burn calories over time."

> It was examined. In 1944 in the Beverage Report "Full Employment in a Free Society". It concluded that people not earning sufficient to eat is an order of magnitude more harm than businesses not earning a profit and that the labour market should always be a sellers market, not a buyers market

This report is completely irrelevant in today’s America, where everyone has more than enough to eat, especially if they are working.
The words on that webpage were in no way what I was expecting when I clicked on that link.
100% agree. I've noticed this as well. A lot of the time, the best objective-sounding argument for something I want is "it's necessary for accessibility", even though _I_ want it for reasons which would've been ignored. And a whole lot of the settings I rely on to make my computing devices comfortable are hidden under "accessibility" menus in settings screens.

There are even cases where the strongest argument for something to have a web version in addition to an Android/iOS app is accessibility. You can make some really interesting and specialized input hardware for Windows PCs which has no chance of working on an iPad, so there are people whose disabilities makes web apps way easier to use than any Android/iOS app. And if there exists a web app, power users can use the service from their comfortable desktop setup rather than from the tiny screen on their phone.

Accessibility is the most effective argument against the "one-size-fits-all" "it works for 90% of users" thinking that's otherwise so pervasive.
I love my Brand New Model F keyboard. People praise the solid construction, durability, and repairability, which is awesome, but I mostly care about two factors:
(a) the feeling of the keys, which is similar to the Model M but lighter, and even important,
(b) full programmability using QMK.

I could use VIA or the QMK web configurator, but none of them are comparable to the flexibility of programming the keyboard locally using C Language.
I can program layers for games, video editing and every emoji under the sun. I even have modes for Windows, OSX and Linux. However, my major use case is occasionally typing international characters without switching my keyboard layout.
The major problem is that the English-International keyboard layout destroys the flow of a programmer when entering the single and double quotes used in strings. This was driving me nuts, specially when remotely working on other's people computers (got used to always type space after quote).
The other reason is that I use mainly one keyboard, but connect it to several computers/OSes. Some of them, like the main work computer is pretty locked down.
So it is much easier to have this keyboard configured how I want than customize the mapping in each computer.
https://www.modelfkeyboards.com/

What I don't find ideal is the lack of F1-F12 keys. The work around is using a Function key and using the 1,2,3..= keys for that purpose. The creators of this keyboard wanted to do a reproduction of the original one. But some people would like to see an spiritual child of the Model F and a Model M. The Modem F technology in the Model M layout. Maybe somebody will take this project in the future. All patents have expired, so everything is possible.

I would like to buy another QMK programable mechanical keyboard. Ideally a 75% or 80% size, mostly for installing linear switches for gaming. Considered the QMMK Pro, but they have not delivered their QMK promise (cannot control the RGB). I also want to stay away from the chattering issues with the Drop Control.
Any recommendations in the 75-80% size outside of those two is appreciated.
Yeah, I'm waiting for the System 76 Keyboard release. Hopefully they behave like adults and deliver all what they promised (in contrast to Glorious).

No wonder there could be so much misunderstanding and needless emotional arguments.

This is why I’m totally against using such high resolutions on such small displays in the first place. Sure fractional scaling would help—but sticking to a perfectly reasonable 900p or even 768p would look even better _and_ save battery and processing power!

(Remember, we’re talking about an 11" laptop. 1366x768 is perfectly reasonable at that size; totally different from the crappy 15" devices that use that resolution to cheap out.)
I think it’s subjective, both gnome and elementary seem like interesting designs. But Elementary is obviously inspired by macOS so it’s going to attract people who like that over Gnome’s take, or would otherwise like the windows XP end of things.
