What you describe could be perfect relative or absolute pitch. While it is generally not possible to learn perfect absolute pitch, perfect relative pitch is completely learnable and if done with a high degree of skill, is almost completely indistinguishable from perfect absolute pitch. The reason it becomes indistinguishable is because highly skilled musicians are able to remember a reference pitch for a very long period of time and thus turn the relative pitches into absolute ones.

In a lot of ways, perfect relative pitch is better than absolute pitch because absolute pitch tends to go away as people get older and because it works better in ensembles since A is rarely exactly 440hz. In fact, historical Baroque performances deliberately tune to a different pitch standard. Another element is if you play an instrument like a wind instrument or a violin, it is common to adjust pitches on chords to get closer to pure chords (most commonly, major thirds are lowered though that is not the only adjustment). Absolute pitch can get in the way of these subtle adjustments since it feels wrong.
I'd love to. Linux supports Quicken, AutoCAD, and Affinity right?

I'm almost positive that everyone still using Windows is doing so because they have some Windows-only workflow they don't want to give up. Everyone else has either moved to Linux or given up desktop computing altogether.
Engine failure on a modern airplane is quite anti-climatic. We train for it regularly, and there are standard procedures to follow after the failure. Basically secure the failed engine, if it's just after takeoff climb to a safe altitude (sometimes following a predetermined route) using the other engine, then select a runway for landing and land almost normally.
I'd argue it's the opposite: our audial perception is way richer. It's because of harmonics: the same pitched sound on piano or violin has different texture and we hear that clearly. Try to do the same with a mix of 7 colors ("harmonics"). Moreover, we can hear a 1 Hz difference between two sinusoidal tones. Now try to notice a 1/20000 difference in two colors.

Buy or borrow a fingertip blood oxygen level to see where you are at. Covid has been different (see below) in that people feel ok while their blood O2 levels are on the way down - they're breathing normally, CO2 does not build up in the blood and so no internal "feelings" appear. Thus, by the time you notice that you can't do much at all, you've been sick for a few days and are behind the curve on treatment. Pay f*ckin' attention when you think you have a cold or the flu right now...

To be fair, I know nothing about Christianity outside of the US. Just speaking of those I've interacted with. I'm not sure it is only Evangelicals. Catholics won't even let other Christians take communion. You may say that is theological but it seems pretty judgmental to me, "you are a real Christian unless you are an RC". I won't get into the other institutionalized atrocities wrought at the hands of the RC church.

I recently purchased a home office chair, and used the Wirecutter review as part of the process. Unfortunately the Prime Day deal on the Gesture happened a couple days after I ordered another chair. The Gesture is one of the more expensive options, IIRC it was $1,200 but Prime Day might have brought it down to more like $900.

One thing Wirecutter gets wrong is that they are comparing the Gesture to the Leap v2 priced at $900, and they pick the Gesture because it's a little more adjustable.

However, there are options for the Leap v2 that bring it to mid $400s, delivered, and I think that changes the equation. Search google and ebay for them refurb, pricing will be in the $300s, but after taxes and shipping I think mine was somewhere around $440. The ebay listing was slightly unclear, saying it was new in original packaging, but description admitting it was refurbed. Upholstery was new, though smelled of solvents for a few days. Packaging was sketchy, but the chair arrived in fine shape.

Part of what made me lean towards the Leap v2, beyond the price, was that we have a number of them in our office and they've served us well. I ended up selecting a different, Herman Miller chair (not THAT one :-), but the Leap v2 was my close #2 choice.

There were a lot of compelling refurb options, for home use I'd be reluctant to spend a grand+ on a new one.

...and with public viewing galleries in courts closed or access-limited due to covid, live-streaming over the Internet is the straightforward replacement.

Though there is a substantial difference between having an modestly-sized, in-person audience of dispassionate local journalists, plaintiffs, relatives and the occasional curious member of the public - and having potentially thousands of Internet gawkers and potential doxxers. Especially in cases like rape/sexual-assault and the like: there's definitely a public-interest (for the accused, the victim, the guilty and the innocent alike) in having a limited audience.

...can/would any judges agree to limit the public streaming audience to a smaller number in those cases?

Honest question: Why would a company pay an US based engineer a high salary when they can get a team overseas equally or even more qualified (whatever metrics you prefer to use: leetcode count, school ranking, GitHub stars, etc...) for the same amount of money or less? I understand if you are Raedon/Being/... Wouldn't remote work at least in the US force local engineer to accept less money for their work?

We use Docker Desktop for the Mac at work. (Large company)

Docker for Mac absolutely sucks. If they’re going to force everyone to pay they better start fixing bugs.

They recently stopped allowing skipping a release unless you pay, and then promptly shipped a point release with a showstopper bug.

I literally asked IT for a Linux VM/Cloud machine yesterday for development because my Mac is dead in the water due to a bug. It’s time efficient to develop on the Mac if it works, but the overall experience is terrible compared to Linux on the desktop IMO.
Hmm, I don’t think the marginal analysis tells the whole story here. If you imagine a business that made revenue through sales through an App Store without a 30% tax, with a 20% profit margin, that’s a healthy business. With the 30% cut, they lose 10% and go under.

These missing smaller players are the deadweight loss from the cut. You either need the scale to cover your fixed costs from a reduced revenue stream, or a revenue stream which avoids the 30% (like ads).
Harmonics and base wave form. A plucked string vs a bowed string have a completely different shape, the first is going to decay and is mostly sinusoidal in its components (as is each of the harmonics) whereas a bowed string will be mostly triangular. And when you start comparing string instruments or open pipes and reed instruments you will find that the relative strength of the harmonics will vary widely to the point that some appear to be missing entirely due to the different modes of vibration.
> What do you mean by "infantilising tone"? If you have examples, I'd be glad to see them.

The way very simple commands are spelled out demonstrates the author's complete disconnect with his target audience. They are supposed to be "experts" so a) they already know all of that anyway, and b) they are perfectly capable of parsing arcane commands so things like the "Let’s look at this example more closely:" are borderline offensive.

> For the "expert", it's just to have a progression in the series. It's entirely subjective.

And, like everything on the WWW, it will sadly be taken at face value by future readers.

> I read the whole user manual, it's a pain. There are too many details in many areas, not enough in others.

The user manual is easy to read, laced with concrete examples, with each chapter building on previous ones. It also refrains from creating arbitrary hierarchies between users. It is by far the best available resource for new users. One that people keep re-hashing for views.

> It's way too long, too. I don't see a beginner reading that and getting the info he (or she) needs before giving up.

There is quite a lot more to cover than what's glossed over in that series of posts, though, and new users deserve better than a handful of random nuggets.

"A stable driver API would appear to solve this problem, but actually causes huge constraints for kernel development while not solving the actual driver quality issue. "

Why do you think that is?

(the criticism of GKI seems to be because of different issues)

As far as I understand, it is quite a deliberate choice of linux to actually force vendors to open source their drivers.

So what happens now is what you describe: the drivers get written against one lts kernel and then shipped and mostly forgotten.
(Which is why I cannot really use my old android tablet anymore, despite the hardware did not degrade)

With a stable driver ABI, I could update to a newer android and keep the drivers as they are.

And with vendors writing drivers for a small and clear API - they could deliver better quality drivers, and update them - because they do not have tp deal with the very expensive whole kernel integration they have to redo for every kernel and every driver.

So yeah, in rainbow fairy unicorn world they all just open source everything and work in harmony and collaboration for the greater good of humanity. But in reality right now, with proprietary being the standard mode, it is just a mess. And I prefer pragmatic solutions that actually improve the status quo.
Oh no, that's awful. 7Zip is the perfect example to demonstrate that.

It's also really valuable to learn how to recognize chord progressions relatively. I had an ear training class with a bunch of people with absolute pitch and they were way slower than me at transcribing chord progressions (without voicing). They had to listen for each line and mentally reconstruct what the chord was using theory while I had an intuitive knowledge of a I-IV-V-I progression versus I-ii-V-I.

Being able to recognize chord progressions saves a lot of work in transcription because unless the piece is doing something weird, you can reconstruct the voicing or an equivalent voicing pretty easily. For the weird stuff, you just need to pick out a few elements and even then the rest of it can usually be inferred.

I'd first note that the three editors are philosophers and ethicists; most of the editorial board is philosophers, social scientists and lawyers. I expect they've begun as they mean to go on.

The problem with wanting "controversy" in "hard" sciences is that if there's a "controversial" theory of physics or biology, that's really just another way of saying "there's not convincing evidence in favor of it, and it doesn't provide a productive framework for future research". If it's backed up by evidence, if it's a useful way of thinking that leads to lots of interesting new research, it's not going to be particularly controversial.

I don't know if logging in will still be possible without phoning home and automatically logging in to various MS services every time, but if it's not or if MS just keeps turning Windows further into an online service (and the customer into a product), it'll probably be time to go Windows-less again.

Tangentially related: I do odd jobs in forestry, in the former Soviet Union. An experienced forester once told me how during the old times, all workers were using regular boots or wellingtons -- that is, boots with no steel toe or other safety elements.

By the early 90s, Husqvarna chainsaws and pro-level protective logger boots had gradually become the norm in our country. And guess what -- now, by the end of the day, the old forester would occasionally receive workers' boots with obvious chainsaw tracks across the toes.

So, as long as the men were using regular, layman's boots, something like this had, obviously, never happened. No logger had ever cut in his toe. Pro-level safety gear, however, made many of them inattentive or careless.

I wonder if this is also true to a degree when it comes to bike helmets. I often seem to ride faster and with more bravado when I'm wearing a helmet. I would, however, never let a 5yo child bike on a sidewalk without protection these days -- even though this is exactly how I grew up myself.
That sort of depends on the size of business under discussion. If you are a Fortune 500 with 2,000 engineers who all need licenses... half a million in licensing costs is not always the easiest sell.

Of course, that fortune 500 is going to pick up the phone and demand to pay 1/4 of that (and they'll probably get it). Enterprise sales is fun
I have been considering relicensing my Creative Commons No Modifications and No Commercial Use books that I have written in the last ten years.

It would make more sense to allow derivatives with attribution, translations to other languages, and using parts in other works. I don't write for profit although when people optionally choose to pay me instead of getting a free copy, that is fun and gives me a good feeling. I write because it is a lot of fun, I meet people through my books, and I would like to be helpful.

For software, my favorite license is the AGPL although I almost never use it because, once again, when I work on something I want it to be useful and I get more usage when I use the Apache 2 license. I feel conflicted about this.

Sorry to be really off topic: I wonder what the state of software will be like in 500 years. I would guess that software will be ancient, relatively unchanging, and effectively bug free. I expect operating systems to be very static and very secure. Except for radically better AI, I question why in the distant future software has to change much in time except for brand new application categories. I also suspect that almost all software will either be Free Software of tightly controlled commercial software - I think there will be a winner.

Sure but if you now have to pay to use Docker Desktop at your company, Podman might be a better option.

Some people who live remotely arrange off-grid solutions, such as solar and wind power on site and water catchment systems, re Earthships et al.

That approach might be a better solution for the Navajo Nation and other Native peoples on reservations. There would still be financing challenges, but it's likely cheaper overall and more sustainable than running pipes and cables long distances out to remote locations.
Then my source is out of date. As your source points out, 10 years ago that was 56.4% -- http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bavaria&oldid=4369...

My point is that the requirement to demonstrate financial need is likely a significantly stricter criterion than the requirement to be Catholic, so the latter shouldn't be singled out.
> I'm not a particularly good programmer, but I'm experienced enough that I feel held back by languages like Go. When you are used to more power, expressiveness and clarity, then you just miss it at every step of the way.

I fully agree with this sentiment, but I feel that is a pro when programming in the large. Power and expressiveness are not always a good thing in team environments where each persons view of "expressiveness" is different. I say this as someone who worked on a large Perl code base - Perl is powerful, expressive, and if the stars align, may even have
clarity. However, when it comes to maintenance, I'll take a 10-line Go function (or 2) over a clever Perl one-liner, any day.
