I do it this way: Find some piece you really like, then find an interpretation you really like.

I think that's actually the way it should be. People tend to hype this or that conductor or sound, and there is certainly merit to it, but I think it is even more a matter of taste than the actual music.
Once you really like a certain symphony, you will listen to it many times. Then, you will have some opinion on how things should be played to excite you, make you happy etc.

Min/maxing composer/performance dyads based on reputation is probably pretty nonsensical, even if it is nerdy fun. For example, there are some pieces I really like, and I acknowledge that Karajan is "the man", but his recording simply doesn't give me the right vibe to enjoy the music compared to some obscure conductor I found somewhere on an old compilation CD.

One last thing:
I personally do not enjoy Bach, much of Mozart, Vivaldi or "Classical"/Baroque music.
There is a whole world of stuff beyond that, however, and some of it is very different. Bruckner, Mahler, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Dvorak, Mendelssohn.

In fact, the first thing I recommend is usually Dvorak 9th Symphony "A new World". Its second movement (Largo I think it is called) is eye-wateringly beautiful, but it also doesn't turn off people who get bored by Bach, Mozart, Vivaldi et al (like me).
And there's no definitive evidence that playing any video game for more than 3 hours a week is in conflict with our good or the good of the society.

Not necessarily. I often see people learn starting with SQLite because it's easy/installed (and quite a bit of tutorials start with it, especially for Python), and then move to MySQL/Postgres, but that is N=2 so it's not too bad.

It is a difficult subject to tackle, here's a second attempt:

If there was school choice, sure, go advocate for whatever political cause you want. To the extent that the public is forced to pay taxes for public schools, the public has a right to be concerned when the teacher union veers into territory that is beyond a reasonable purview.

The union priorities are telling:

* High: Negotiate pay and benefits for the union. Reasonable in principle, but less reasonable when the union bankrolls the politicians that signoff the paychecks.

* High: Naked political campaigns outside the professional scope of teaching. This is crass: union members joined the union for the pay and benefits negotiator role. Now some are forced to (tacitly) support political causes against their conscience. This is further crass because sooner or later it leaks into the classroom, and teachers should strive for a political neutral stance, not for classroom political indoctrination.

* Low: Figure out how to improve kids educational attainment, which is the #1 reason people hire teachers.

Teach Jonny how to read. For politics, join a political organization, don't drag the professional union into politics.
It's great that you're interested in applying tech to help solve humanitarian crises. I'd encourage you to considering going domain-first instead of tech-first into a problem, as I think you'll find yourself to be more impactful that way.

Consider covid-19: Apple and Google rolled out these contact tracing apps in pretty record time. And yet, they had virtual no impact on the actual epidemic. However, there's still a ton of tech being used to fight it. It's just the tech being used isn't from large tech companies that swooped in, it's from people who have been doing this for years before the pandemic and will probably continue doing it for years after. None of this diminishes the need for tech people to help on these causes; you're probably going to be better able to have an impact working within the orgs doing the work, rather than a startup or tech company trying to sell to those orgs.

Alternatively, consider looking up resources on "Effective Altruism" -- one direction that could take you is that your ability to improve the world may be to just make as much money as possible and to donate it directly to those most in need.
Greggles, enough of you.

But, I do have studies showing data is often made up or cherry-picked. So when a study disagrees with what most of us are experiencing, when cops have publicly announced they won't investigate crimes because the prosecutor won't prosecute, I'm going to need a lot more evidence that crime is actually decreasing.

From the linked article: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-017-0211-5

>In sharp contrast to this trend, evidence shows that arrests by the Detective Bureau increased significantly during the slowdown. This result is highly relevant to one of our theoretical mechanisms, since the Detective Bureau is charged with intensive investigations, rather than proactive policing. Further confirming that the slowdown’s effects were localized to proactive policing, we find no evidence that ‘Major crime arrests’ were significantly affected by the slowdown when we condition our estimates on ‘Major crime complaints’.

This paragraph appears to rule out many of the "armchair" objections being raised in the comments. If it is a robust finding, it would imply that some "proactive policing" arrests are effectively a nuisance to prosecutors and detectives as they work to combat severe criminality.

Nonetheless, I was surprised to see how much confidence the authors report with such limited data. They are not shy about saying "our results imply..." (cf. suggest) and go on to assert the existence of a "vicious feedback between proactive policing and major crime" It's one study, in one city, over a brief time period. Further work is needed to see if the results generalize.
So you used a clickbait title instead to trick people into viewing it?
I don't think that was the statement made, just that strong government is correlated with strong economies. Strong economies/governments are a necessary, but not sufficient requirement for those other things.

> Written in old PHP, according to the homepage it requires PHP 5.4

Just because something will run on an old version of PHP doesn't mean it won't run on new PHP.

You can write PHP that is backwards compatible but still decently modern sans typehints.

I used Sabre for a while recently on I think PHP 7.3 and it's not bad.
I get that China is authoritarian, so I'm not even going to argue about that, but even if you agree with the premise, three hours seems to be swinging too far in the other direction. Do they enforce the same rule with other entertainment? What about board games or MTG? And it's not like movies are much different, other than being passive. Actually, passive entertainment might be worse.
Depends what you mean by "run". If you mean the actual workers in TSMC's clean rooms, then maybe not: Where would they go, where they'd be needed -- when the whole problem in the first place is that the world is dependent on TSMC because there are no chip factories anywhere else?
>If that were true the market makers would be losing money buying the order flow

No, because as other comments have mentioned, retail orders are generally "non-toxic" and "uninformed", which allows market makers to quote tighter spreads while still maintaining profit.
Large dial-up ISPs had huge lists of numbers you could use to dial in with so that you could pick the one which was local to you. I'm not sure how this worked on the provider side, but customers pretty much never payed by-the-minute fees to dial into their ISP.
Isn't that just because Hilbert's Hotel is a property of the natural numbers (well ordered) while Banach-Tarski is a property of the reals? (not well ordered without AoC) We can split the natural numbers into odd and even groups by starting with 1 and iterating on the odds, and starting with 2 and iterating on the evens. But because the reals are not well ordered, the step in Banach-Tarski where we pick an arbitrary point that hasn't already been grouped into a set is impossible.

The natural numbers (and therefore Hilbert's Hotel) provide a natural way to say "whatever, just pick one" but we need to invoke the well-ordering theorem (which is equivalent to the Axiom of Choice) make the same "whatever, just pick one" statement about the reals. (and therefore Banach-Tarski)
Came here to say exactly that. You can also do this, thought it looks a little worse it allows for even more flexibility, such as complete decoupling of Impl from A across different files:

// Forward declaration of Impl. What does Impl do?
// You're not allowed to know.
class Impl;

class A {
protected:
Impl* mImpl;
};

I've been using this trick but for a different reason - to reduce the number of #include statements in header files that are included a lot themselves.

> get ZFS on a USB drive but all of that is done at your own risk.

I don't consider ZFS on portable devices to be more risky than FAT32. You can always copy the files to two devices instead of one. Or carry around multiple SD cards.

Snapshots will protect you if files are corrupted after they make their way to the file system.

> Bad SD card reader and bad RAM or bugs in any of the 3 machines are still a risk.

Sure they are. But they are not in your control (except RAM, where you can always pay for ECC). I would worry about things that are.

I met a guy who sold his lawncare? business and bought one of the RV's that is basically a bus, and his family of five lived in it, to be prepared for the collapse. (I'm not sure how he was planning on getting gasoline if the collapse was that serious...) After a while of interacting with some more normal people he decided he had been deceived, but I heard some time later that he had bought a house in the woods to prepare. I have no idea if he was on Reddit, though.
Ideal users: engineers. At least to start with. We know that the typical engineer has to learn a lot of relevant content online with technical documentation, blog posts, notes, etc, so are seeking to be helpful there first. Plus, we'd like to solve our own problems we faced. Down the line if people like it, can imagine this could be pretty helpful for students in general of most ages.

> I think we have an issue of expectations vs gameplay. Anything that requires a team of multiple humans would necessarily be incredibly hectic.

I used to develop simulations as part of the combat systems development team of a military ship builder. I have assisted to actual training which I guess you could view as the ultimate bridge simulator. I think the main issue with bridge simulator is that you can't really simulate a bridge without the complexity which requires having multiple people on the bridge but at the time you can't ask your players to follow days of formation before playing.

It seems to me that in the game simpler model, the roles which end up assigned to players are always somewhat arbitrary and convoluted. As they are so artificial, it's not surprising some people end up with little to do.

As an aside, amusingly, all the bridge simulators seem to have user interfaces which are both less user friendly and older looking than the actual ship interfaces I used to work on. I find that endlessly funny.
All good points. Another clear lesson from the pandemic: Achieving optimum outcomes is severely bounded by practical political realities - Consider if every single country had hard locked down, everywhere, for 6+ weeks. Perhaps complete elimination could have been achieved. But politically, impossible.

That equally applies to climate change as a similar tragedy of the commons played out on a longer timescale. So there are some learnings to be applied if you're looking, as I think many people now are, to identify how things might play out and then make your own life choices accordingly.

Something I'm increasingly certain of is that the future will be boring. By which I mean trends are likely correct but will play out over longer timescales than expected. Visions of sudden collapse and apocalypse are mostly anxiety-fuelled inventions of the mind aimed at spurring action in the present day. Reality is more like economic stagnation, decreasing freedoms, and continual smaller crises that gradually bring us to the predicted future state. Nothing that can be ridden out in a bunker with a few years supply of oats.
[speaking in tongues]
Pertaining to your last paragraph. I very much agree with what you wrote. I think a better way to state my point is this. I try to read academic papers with skepticism and when I think of an obvious potential objection I think it highly likely the authors are aware of this and didn’t address it because their knowledge of topic is such that they know it’s not really an objection. I then try to find out whether or not my potential objection really is valid or invalid. I assume the latter when I don’t have more information or the time to delve deeper into the topic.

Thanks for the link to the study.
1998 is the later days of AOL. Its heyday was 1991-1995, when basically everybody got multiple AOL disks in the mail, you'd have TV advertisements telling you to visit a certain AOL keyword, and they were basically the only user-friendly way of getting online. (The competition like Prodigy or Compuserve had very clunky user interfaces, and GEnie and BBSes were text-only.)

The writing was on the wall for AOL as soon as Netscape and Yahoo came out in 1994.
My mother grew up in southern Europe in conditions that were bordering middle-age conditions and now life there is completely different.

Prosperity is always relative to the system you're immersed in and in a globalist world, your prosperity is defined by the prosperity of how people on the other side of the world live. Americans can believe they have the best living conditions in the world and same can do northern Europeans and maybe Japanese too. Let's throw in urbanized chinese middle class too. But in developing countries they don't have the privilege to believe they are in that competition. They are always a province of the empire and living in scarcity.

This says nothing about the enormous changes that went on pretty much everywhere in the rural parts of every country with very few, isolated exceptions.
The things I'm thinking most need to be protected are more like "unaccompanied 16-year-old girl [name] at [station's address] plans to cross the recently burned area to rendezvous with [family member's name] at [rendezvous point]. She was able to get the cash savings out of the safe before the house burned, but couldn't get the gun safe open."

After Katrina, dead bodies with gunshot wounds rotted in the streets for weeks, uninvestigated. Human jackals aren't common but when they sense impunity they do make their presence known.
I have mixed feelings about whether or not restricting a child's video game usage is a good idea.

However, I think that the state imposing these restrictions is vastly superior to having parents impose the same restrictions. The amount of time a kid is allowed to play games should not be related to what family they happen to be part of or which parents they happen to have.
I have been seriously considering paying for the Berlin Philharmonik subscription/access. My main use-case would be to listen to their archives of performances.

It's on every system that has systemd which is basically on every commercial production Linux system.

I can use them as a user and non-root, I get to use journalctl and systemd status to check if it ran. The timers run independently of others and the timers are in English.

If you are using Devuan or something weird like that then sure, but nearly every other way I find systemd-timers better especially for debugability.
Why do you assume it is I who are confused?

I'd like this to be honest (from an infrastructure point of view). If the time is known for an influx of traffic I can prepare for that.

I currently look after a system which gets random spikes of traffic thats critical to serve. Which means I more or less need to run a huge amount of redundant servers 24 hours a day incase there is a spike at 2am.

We have horizontal scaling but our traffic has little lead time.
And the price. AOL charged by the minute and were slow to switch to unlimited...much like Blockbuster was reluctant to kill late fees and ended up losing to Netflix's DVD distribution (even before they got into streaming).
I totally agree with his sentiments, I would never work for any of the FAANGs, not even for those ridiculous telephone number salaries. I like my life just how it is, being a code monkey working on VB.net applications for a low salary because it's less stressful that way. It does means I can't have nice things but one can't have everything.
I feel like you're taking an extremely narrow view of use cases, but I apologize I'm coming off as antagonistic, it's not my intent. I really just want people to open up to expanding what's possible in our bands.

The ham bands are for experimentation. Currently experimentation is essentially banned as the most of the biggest recent innovations are against the rules and the old guard wants to ban the rest (see FT8/WSPR).

Negotiation - there are plenty of bandwidth negotiation strategies, not just scream louder. You can listen and avoid areas where people are obviously talking, it doesn't take human level intellect to detect signal.

SS - interference avoidance is the biggest use case. There are a number of different techniques here, not just noise vomit, chirp being one of the more interesting.

Encryption - Obviously nobody in their right mind is going to sit there and scream about a tornado on an encrypted channel or try to coordinate encrypted emcom. Simplifying ham to the point where anyone can use it is called the FRS band and as such we don't need to worry about that here. There are plenty of useful cases though, remote command/telemetry being only one of many. Experimenting with encrypted modes/algorithms/hardware is the most relevant, as well as just wanting the ability to have a private conversation from time to time. Lets also not forget that it's legal in Europe and they have yet to meet a firey ham demise.

2021 - and with these rules there never will be one. Private industry has no interest but spectrum is finite and human needs are infinite. Developing such a mode would be extremely useful if the FCC ever gets around to increasing the size and number of ISM bands as more applications arise.

I'd be willing to meet you with this: the HF bands are touchy, I fully agree there's a legitimate interest in keeping things the way they are >=20m. I think the wild west should really open up at VHF and above however. There just isn't any use save one repeater out of hundreds every few hours in a sea of blue waterfall. Even if encryption/SS/WB/whatever was legalized on 2m/70cm and WILDLY abused (it wouldn't be) I don't think anyone would really even notice.
Are we then saying the loser is the institutional traders? The money does not come from thin air.
The history is complicated. The Ribbentrop pact was within the Communist parties seen as necessary to bide time, since the USSR knew Germany was going to invade them. But I would agree, it's inexcusable in retrospect.

I am not an apologist for Stalinism, I am not saying any of this was a good thing. I am mostly accused of being a Trotskyist, or whatever.

But the role of the Communist movement in resisting Nazism in Europe is something not widely understood in the Anglo-American sphere. To the point where some on the right in the US have now started to conflate the two. Which is... nonsense.

Anglo-American post-war triumphalism is/was ridiculous. My father grew up in the rubble of the end of the war. There were no winners, it was tragedy all around.
