I always understood "cramming" to mean studying everything in a condensed block of time in just the few days before an exam. That's orthogonal to prioritizing what to study, which I think most people would agree is a smart strategy. But perhaps the word has different meanings to different people.
The sequencer looks slick, but for an amateur like me it’s hard to beat the instruments and samples that come with Logic. Maybe I can route the midi output from Helio to Logic through a virtual midi device and try it out that way. Otherwise I’d need to drop tons of cash on a plug-in and sample collection.

Kessler Syndrome is not really an issue at lower LEO, the atmospheric drag quickly (in ~5 years) deorbits anything without functioning propulsion and navigation systems.
As someone who has been in a similar situation as you, here are some options you can explore:

1. Watch a lecture series that focuses on listening to music

I have been watching the following lecture series: Listening to Music with Craig Wright. This is provided as a free resource from Yale on YouTube. It will answer pragmatic questions (e.g. why 88 keys) you may have encountered.

2. Learn through workbook exercises

Believe it or not, the keyboard offers a convenient interface to learning music theory. The individual keys fit in your hand. Pressing on them makes a consistent sound. In many ways, you don't have to worry about the logistics of making noise.

With that being said, by using a simple keyboard (e.g. digital), you can start the following workbook series: Basics of Keyboard Theory by Julie McIntosh Johnson. This series is available on Amazon. You can start with BKTPREP (preparatory) or BKT1 (level one).

The idea here is to learn something new, in each lesson, and then test your knowledge by working through the workbook. What this series does is it focuses on the foundations of Music Theory without throwing you deep in the water. Like math, you don't progress unless you understand where you've been.

3. Learn an instrument with a teacher

Having a teacher will help you tremendously. While they may focus your attention on the instrument, they will also introduce you to music that applies what you are learning in theory. As you progress, you will start to identify patterns the composer uses in their music. This in turn will correlate to what you have learned in music theory.

4. Compose your own music

Just like the workbook exercises above, you will understand music more by writing it. Maybe you came up with a catchy tune while fiddling around with your instrument. What other notes would sound good with it? How should this catchy tune start and end? How can we make it sound unexpected or delightful?

Always have a goal in mind when learning music theory. Many times, that will motivate you to progress further.

I was referring to this:

> I had a similar interview with a different company last year. Three guys and me on a Zoom call with me sharing my screen trying to solve a coding problem that in no way resembled anything I have ever encountered in my 25 year career. When I got stuck they just stared at me. They would not give me any hints whatsoever. They just stared at me.
With Face ID, there's also the risk that a malicious viewer who is holding your phone could point it at you and get it fully unlocked before you are able to react. A cop who is standing at the window of your car would absolutely be close enough to do that. The only way this would be safe is if it engaged the emergency mode which requires the PIN/password to fully unlock.
I think Hollywood already made the Musk vs. Bezos movie: "Alien vs. Predator"
Simulating that brain will require you to provide some sort of inputs and do something with the outputs. Which gets you into questions of "what does this simulated brain want" once again. How much of human desire and behavior comes from the body? I want to avoid pain (signals that my body sends to my brain). I want to experience pleasure (also signals that my body sends to my brain).

If you simulate a body with the same inputs as the existing brain, do you just have a "faster horse" problem, where you have a brain that could possibly perceive/process information faster (or slower) than a real human depending on the speed of the simulation? That could be useful, but sounds potentially rather bleak, especially if we limit what it can do to change its environment. It also seems limited for e.g. central planning - it can do planning faster than any individual, but likely will still have working memory size limitations, if it's just a simulation of a human brain. So it may not be so much better than parallelizing tasks across a bunch of humans.

More interesting, probably, then, than the "super human" style, is giving a new sort of intelligence different and additional senses, so that it doesn't want or need the same sort of physical embodiment we have, a la the "set sets" in the Terra Ignota series. But then we have to figure out what separates abstract intelligence from our own senses, and how to usefully augment it with new senses for a data-based world...
Maybe. It's always possible that as a civilization we are saddled with too many never-going-to-progress-until-we-stop-doing-x technologies. Maybe it's not a distraction, but using a market to develop a capability that will save billions.

Travel agencies/advisors can be useful in a lot of specialized situations. I don't mean agencies that will just book the flight/business-class hotel/cruise you'd easily find on Expedia. But a bunch of B&Bs/Inns and transportation for a walking trip in England or some other location where lodging and transportation options can be hard to research.

Yes, one can do everything by themselves. But sometimes it's worth letting a middleman who actually adds value do some of the work.
It won't, sorry. A lot of 70s-80s sci has aged really badly - not because of technology turning out differently but because the stories were built around stock characters that were cliches at the time they were written.
The most cursory Google search turns up tons of sources that say otherwise. For example[1]:

> Student loans are intended to pay for college, but education costs include more than tuition. You can also use student loans for living expenses. You’re limited to borrowing the school’s cost of attendance — that’s tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and board, transportation, and personal expenses —minus any aid you receive.

In other words, once you've paid tuition the balance is yours to do whatever you want/need to continue as a student, including paying rent or fixing your car. After all, barriers to poor people attending college go far beyond just the cost of tuition.

I... don't understand this. I've been using exclusively mechanical keyboards since the very early 90s, and I've been using nearly-exclusively Macs since the very early 2000s. I've never had an issue here. Mechanical keyboards, as a general rule, are programmable, and have swappable keycaps. It's a simple matter to swap the keycaps if you are adjusted to the Windows mandated keyboard layout ordering and how that's mapped automatically in macOS, or slightly more work to remap the keys /and/ change the keycaps. That's not even considering that some of the greatest pre-built mechanical keyboards in the 90s and early 2000s were Mac specific, like options using Alps key switches for instance.

There are many many many many mechanical keyboard options to use with a Mac. If you're legitimately having difficulty finding a solution, feel free to reach out to me via the contact information in my profile and I'll be happy to make some specific recommendations.
Seems like this would work best in places with free high-speed public wifi and device charging infrastructure. Do those places exist? Western Europe, East Asia? As with the rest of Apple Wallet/Pay offerings, turning analog into digital has its trade-offs.

There are other flaws too. Like pretending to bike to the spaceport on the day of, but it was actually filmed the week before and when called out, they said, oops, you're right, sorry!

It's like when Guy Fiery in his hot rod. He pretends he rolls up to the place in his 70s hot rod, but actually it's just rolled out of the truck that lugs it around from location to location and he opens the door, sits, gets filmed getting out, shuts the door and it goes back up the ramp.

It's all fakery.
It's 1800 yearly subscriptions at $110k, and that's assuming $5/month is pure profit, which it is not.

So this one off audit would have to hit them, say, 6000 extra 1 year subscriptions to pay itself off, let alone turn profit. Sounds like a stretch.

It would certainly be hard to measure.

On that note, how many customers do these public customer oriented VPNs have, typically? 1k's? 10k's? More?
As long as the final battle takes place on Mars, I'd watch that.

We are generally aiming for ~1% of CPU, but on very fork-intensive workloads we exceed this (in order to do symbol-less native code stack unwinding, we need to do some housekeeping for each new process). There are also approx 250m of memory needed for the various pieces of housekeeping data.

Amazon always claims to focus on its customers, and ignore its competitors, this is supposed to be an important facet of the "Its always Day 1" philosophy.

These actions, along with Amazon's complaints about Jedi contract seem to imply that amazon has now entered day 2.

PS: I understand that the circumstances around the Jedi contract are different. I'm just trying to make a point that Amazon is now focussing more on its competitors rather than its customers.

Reddit continues to insist that its sitewide administrative policies are based on behaviour rather than content, though it appears that this is a somewhat narrow distinction, and that behaviours which draw attention … tend to be associated with questionable content.

I’m not criticising the action. I support it. (The reasons are complex and difficult to articulate, though what I had to say ... on Reddit ... about limitations on speech some six years ago seems strongly appropriate. https://old.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/comments/2g8e8c/shoutin...)

It's the rationalisation which seems thin.

The more so as what I’d based that argument on at the time --- falsely claiming no harm where a harm clearly existed is precisely at the centre of current discussions of the topic. This also seems to be a major, though under-discussed mode, of deceptive speech, and more pointedly a mode in which the downplaying of risk accrues benefits and gains to the parties promoting that message.

That said, Reddit’s lack of principled leadership and very-late-to-the-party redress continues to erode trust in the platform among those who live in a reality-based world and support strong epistemic systems. Which is one of the key challenges the firm faces: neither of the two principle sides in this matter are or will be happy with how it aquits itself.

I’ll note as well that the principles of “free speech” are not synonymous with the US first amendment (which concerns only government limitations), that speech on a privately-operate platform is both not the same as government censorship, but also not dissimilar in many regards, and that in any regard, free speech itself is not an absolute principle but one existing in balance with other considerations. I’ve been thinking in terms of a set of related, though often conflicting principles as Autonomous Communication (or variously: "informational autonomy" or "communications autonomy" --- naming things is hard --- discussed in “Which has primacy?”). The rights to privacy, free-assocation (both positive and negative), against self-incrimination, of obligated disclosure, and to accurate information, all collide, though there are some common principles which might help in adjudicating amongst them. I’m not aware of others offering any similar construction.

See: https://joindiaspora.com/posts/622677903778013902fd002590d8e...
I'm wondering what it says about us humans that the only way to maintain even a modicum of civility is heavy censorship.

Also, don't these folks realize that Jesus was Jewish... like, what kind of brain worms crawling in their heads that they can in one breath proclaim faith to an Abrahamic religion, hate for people from that part of the world, and how morality comes from a society following their preferred religion.

Feels pretty hopeless.

I guess a way to describe it is imagine a virtual machine, like vagrant... that comes preloaded, with your editor, your database and every app you coul imagine.
Then each app is an object that is callable from your peogram.. is like if you were developing an app and could import an excel function in your own code... even better script excel from your own code.

Thenwhen your app is ready, just deploy your machine.

That downplays the remuneration of the principle Moz exec considerably AIUI. Mitchell Baker's remuneration from Moz was >$2M last I heard (a few years back [see eg https://calpaterson.com/mozilla.html]), I can only assume it's more now.

Remember when it was a slippery slope fallacy to suggest that this sort of thing would go beyond banning fatpeoplehate? I haven't used reddit in 2 years. I'm not a vaccine denier or anything like that, but why would I want to use a public discussion tool that disallows public discussion?

I think though this points to an architectural problem with the multi community link aggregator/forum concept. Fact is, when you have a site that allows multiple communities to coexist and bleed into one another some won't get along, some will harass each other, it probably always results in things like this, then you get echo chambers. I think forums and single community sites (possibly even federated) make a lot more sense to prevent interaction from devolving into this. The model reddit based their business on has obviously failed the user at this point. It was a Utopian (and profitable!) dream to be the site for this sort of thing and it was short sighted in hindsight.

> Get a local bank account,

Good luck with this in France. You have to show evidence of stay (a contact for utilities), for which you have to have an account.

There is a law that states that you can get an account without these requirements, and then there is the reality.

This reality also means that if you know someone who is a good client in a bank and go with them, there is a good chance they will open the account.

Banking in France is such a mess.
What I dont underatand (yet) is in the example you provided you gave "qemuarm64" as the BSP. But the NetBSD example johnklos gave is not just for QEMU. I dont see an option for the RPi in poky's local.conf. NetBSD of already has configs for bootable RPi in its tree. This illustrates my point about automated downloads. Yocto requires, among other things, wget. For building images. This implies there is more to be downloaded before we can begin. With NetBSD, network access is not required to build images.

They bought DVDs with a paper trail, shipped them internationally, ripped them and then uploaded to scene sites with photos of the retail packaging. Not difficult to see how they got caught.

One can't help but feel sorry for them. Commercial copyright infringement in the states probably carries a $1e308 financial penalty and/or life imprisonment.

Much easier and faster development and maintenance for applications that don't have strong performance or safety requirements.
Interesting, expanding into other languages could certainly increase the reach of programming so that more people can do it.
I think Blue Origin has appeared from the outside to be pretty safety focused.

Blue Origin had 15 successful unmanned test flights of the New Shepard program before launching Jeff and the other astronauts.

That's a very extensive test launch regime to conduct of a rocket.

Of course Blue Origin is very closed off (especially compared to SpaceX), so it's harder to gauge how much internal weight they put on safety.

Yes, it seemed the G is not as guaranteed as is used to be. I had an interesting chat with a current UC Berkeley student trying to get into computer science department. They have a few classes that you need to do well in to get accepted internally. She was taking one of the classes for the third time, having dropped the course the first two times once she realized her grade was not high enough.
Not a mobile app, but I did see a team of 50 working on one project - enterprise Java in... 2002. It still wasn't all developers - between 30 and 35, then some PM, testers, etc. I can envision projects being that size, I'm not sure I can see a good justification for that state though. I can see 60 devs on a project, just not the need for them, if that makes any sense. I'm accustomed to seeing a lot of people work on stuff getting very little done, mostly talking to each other about how stuff should work, but not doing it.
That's why I mentioned Byrne Hobart and David Perell, two people I regularly read and built businesses partially funded by EV.
