The infrastructure isn't about the music, though. It's about people, whether they are pop stars, ferociously good classical virtuosi, temperamental maestros, introverted but sympathetic innovators, or even just amateur bands/ensembles that enjoy the social aspects of making music.

That's where the big money is, not elevator music generated by computers.
I say this as someone who hasn't had time to play around with Godot for the last 9 months, so take it with a grain of salt, but Godot's C# support was coming along great and I had switched over to it exclusively before work pulled me away. Has it fallen off and not improved? It was just as fast (if not faster than) native GDscript.

The Game of Acquiring Status
It must be the opposite to their own political dogma, so "it must be evil".
The Constitution constrains what the Government can do. It doesn’t constrain what private actors like Facebook can do. It never has.

Also your analogy is flawed. Facebook doesn’t do what you suggest today (“only allow in those who talk like me”). They allow almost all speech, with opposing viewpoints, different policy perspectives, different cultures, etc. Arguments happen there all the time.
Love Pivotal, but also their software development methodology is so different from the rest of industry. Not sure how much the findings of this paper generalize since they’re from a relatively non-standard dev process.
I am eager to be able to choose a classical music piece (e.g. Bach Cello Suite #1 in G) and ask an AI to generate an infinite sequence very close to its style but variating slightly.

Doesn't that assume natural-order evaluation?

The electrons are not wholly within the battery; they are mostly within the battery. (Batteries discharge over time for an almost completely unrelated reason.)
I agree, but I think it can be formulated in a better way. I.e. it's not about saying "no", it's about having a meaningful conversation about priority to reach a shared understanding with all stakeholders why we are doing the things we are doing. Saying "no" can be a result of this process, but this doesn't have to be the case. Also, saying "no" without proper clarification can give you a reputation of hard to work with, which may result in people going around you, which reduces transparency and increases politics.

You are being taken advantage of by a deeply dysfunctional company. Four people (at least) have figured this out ahead of you. Standard advice applies: use the time you have left at this dysfunctional company to quietly find a new company to work for.

Are you on good terms with those that left? Perhaps one of the companies they went to have openings.
A big difference between software and hardware, is that Development, Manufacturing, and Distribution are pretty much all the same thing.

One person can create, duplicate, and distribute earth-shattering functionality. They can then, iteratively, improve or alter the product, almost in "live" fashion.

Manufactured goods have a lot of constraints that come from rather immutable structures; like the laws of physics. There's usually a number of parallel engineering efforts that converge, and that's before the product even rolls off the assembly line.

Once there, it still needs to be placed in position to be accessed by the end users.

Each of these steps are quite different from the others, and require a confluence of disciplines, skills, and experience. Many of them can be subjected to measurable process. Maybe only the initial engineering step could be fairly compared to software development. Even then, prototyping introduces some considerable structure.
You see, Show HN is usually for toy projects. Something bigger could be Launch HN ;)

I guess people really like building Lisps, glad to see their infectious energy. But I do get your opinion, it sort of just is like a homework problem, not particularly noteworthy (except for the first couple of times it was done).

So where does that leave us? Everything has been done before, so if we judged these projects too harshly, then there wouldn’t be anything left.

For me personally, seeing a new lisp always brings a smile, it’s a certain continuity once can rely on in our ever changing discipline ;) A rite of passage to read SICP and then implement a Lisp and show it to the world :-)

Why even the site founder started writing his owns lisps ;)
Tkinter, probably. Or a web interface. Depends on what I'm doing, honestly – the answer will always be “whatever's currently being used”.
`it's that they are very easy to find...` is probably true for most methods. Those methods aren't magic anymore if you knows about them. And that is also the reason everybody why don't want to talk about how they hide thing?

> residential IPs cannot into email cause spam

Strictly, that's dynamic IPs. The Venn diagram may almost be circular, but not quite. Part of the point being that it's much easier to block static IPs, while a spammer on a dynamic IP will evade any blocks when their IP address changes.

My in-laws outbound email broke recently because, being on a dynamic IP, they'd been set up to send through their ISP's smarthost. Then they changed ISP :P.

I bought a suit a while back - they tailored it (pants and jacket) for <$20. This is "really expensive" if it is a $10 t-shirt, but not that bad if it is an $80 point-down shirt, and even reasonable if it is a $200 pant/jacket combo
I understand why that makes you uncomfortable because it sounds like he is so far ahead of you that you can't compete. However, perhaps you can help him become a 20x developer? 20x is much more than your current 11x (1x from you and 10x from him). Fred Brooks in The Mythical Man-Month suggested organizing developer teams as an operating theater. E.g. he would be the surgeon and you would be his nurse helping him whatever tasks needs to be done to keep his speed as high as possible. While doing this you would also learn from his expertise.

For example, you could do QA on his code to find bugs, write documentation, manage deployment, merge branches, write glue code etc. If you do this make sure you demand and get equal credit. If, as a consequence of your work, his productivity increases from 10x to 20x, then you are also a 10x colleague.
Does Tor have enough bandwidth for streaming now?
This is why passing a pointer to a slice as a function parameter is required if you want to avoid subtle bugs in functions that alter the length of the contents of slices.

To be clear the author is incorrect.
You can do all that as well. Screenshot of a fairly complex 3270 TUI: https://davideellis.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/1-samplee327...

Mass-produced clothing sizing is certainly inexact. But the body measurements for an individual are reasonably well specified.
In Go, a []int ("slice of int") is just a C struct like this, passed by value:

struct intSlice {
int* addr;
int len;
int cap;
};

The memory at addr is not owned by the slice. All the slice operations are simply notation for manipulating the struct. Go's garbage collection makes the whole thing work well.

This can be confusing if you're used to C++'s std::vector (which owns the memory) or Python's slices. Go's slices are a shallow pointer/length system exactly like is used in C all the time. For example:

void sort(int* addr, int len);

becomes

func sort(a []int)

A Go slice is just a formalization of C's pointer/length idiom, with terse notation for manipulation.
Subjective guessing could be converted into knowledge by information sharing. I believe one could be progressively persuaded to (1) sympathize with the artist, then (2) sympathize with the artefact, and maybe (3) come to cherish it. Depending on how the information is revealed, & in the hope that it is meaningful to the customer. Restaurants have long known & used this procedure—they include source of material and cooking method in the name of the food. You may have no affection for the pasta in front of you but maybe sharing the "home made" information with you could elicit a little more excitement.
The problem is that AWS only allows hosting domains on S3 that match the hostname. i.e. If I want to host some content from S3 on 'static.mydomain.com', I MUST own the bucket of the same name.

If someone else creates the bucket on their AWS account, I am stuck. I would have to use a different hostname, or use a more complex workaround. Since creating empty buckets costs nothing, it effectively allows DoSing hostnames from an S3 hosting standpoint.

It would be one thing to allow this behavior if a domain owner explicitly wanted it, via a TXT record or something, but as it is, it's a poorly designed solution.

If you got a chance, Mosquito Bay on the island of Vieques, Puerto Rico, is full of bioluminescent microorganisms. There are canoe tours that let you experience it up close.

I hear they don't let you do it anymore, but when I went in 2007 and 2009, they let you swim in there and it was amazing. Every movement of your arm and legs left a glowing trail of light.

(They stopped allowing swimmers because that body of water is a shark nursery, and one took a bite from the leg of an unfortunate swimmer in 2011.)
It's interesting how top-heavy the distribution is. The top 5 make up half the total score of the top 25. The top 2 make one third of the total score of the top 25.

I wonder if this shows we can get outsized impact by focusing on just a couple of types of issues, or if it is an artifact of how the data is collected (e.g. out-of-bounds write is easy to find by fuzzing but severe enough to always warrant a CVE)
Very interesting... The one nice thing about containers is being able to move sites from one profile to another if necessary.

Can you do the same with profiles? If I come across a link in one profile, but one to open it in another, is there a way seamless way to do it?
I think this is planned for a future version of bluetooth.
An important reason why it is so hard to compress them is that errors frequently don't really matter in the same way they do with language. You can really play a melody with many, many variations and it is still (to a point) the same melody. This is much harder to do with language, and has important implications when thinking about what a composition "actually is".

Is it possible that there's also just more software in different domains being written, hence making it more difficult to keep track of everything that is going on?
Because the usual office clerk needs office software that runs in the cloud? I don't think so. It is completely sensible to use open source alternatives.

China created their own government Linux distribution. Every country should do exactly that.

They should adapt the sensible stuff, the innovation from China. Not the totalitarian crap like mass surveillance. But that is a feature set I expect to see in MS products in the future. This is an automatism for the company by now.
FTA: even those not remotely involved in lead production— simply by breathing the air around them.

I don't know if this is from the research, but it seems quite a stretch to me. How about those not involved in production got exposed by using objects which contained lead?
Yes, I made a significant error in forgetting what slice variables actually represent. In my example, even fixing the compilation errors (with `_ = append(*ref, 4)` ), v[3] would always be an array index out of bounds error, since v itself always points to just the first 3 elements of the array, regardless of resizing. This is another significant difference between slices and C++ vectors.

A more interesting example showing that resizing can be observed (getting rid of the pointer to the slice, since it's not useful anyway):

> If you were still in Afghanistan, then yes, sanctions come into play.

No, you can't be refugee inside your country. But you can be an asylum seeker indefinitely in a third country. In this case, you will have a document issued by the UN that says this person is seeking asylum. They put you on hold, forever, until you receive an invitation for resettlement. What does the labor work say? Simple. You are either a foreigner or a citizen. There's no way to deal with you in the `grey area`.

> A key question imho is this: will algorithmic music composition ever produce anything else than more or less sophisticated musac, effectively recycling a particular musical corpus of a particular music tradition?

A related question is: how many human composers manage do this? It seems that we are fairly OK with a large body of composers "effectively recycling a particular musical corpus".
So the question to me boils down to - what to do about it? We could easily have another decade (or 2 or 3) of economic growth before the next crash. The hard part isn't predicting the crash, it is predicting when it will happen.

The best plan as far as I can tell is to be diversified in investments. A home + mortgage protects against inflation, a reasonable mix of stocks and bonds are solid financial investments, enough cash for a good emergency fund, and holding a small % of hard assets and crypto is not a bad idea.

In short, "nobody knows nothing" and we can just invest a little in everything and hope for the best :)
Kobo and Kindle both run Linux too. Kobo still updates every single model they've released except for the first two non-touch models and the 5" mini stretching back a decade. And Amazon is pretty good with updates too.

Kobo is pretty similarly hackable to the Remarkables but they are not nearly as open and free as the Pine stuff. I take a look at what remarkable has updated, and they just still haven't gotten ePub support anywhere close to where it should be. I belive it technically converts ePubs to PDF and displays that?? With large books taking minutes to change font sizes. That to me has completely turned me off their devices. Writing may be better but reading is IMO equally important for devices like these.
Let us not, because pretty much all communication platforms have been moderated in one way or another for all time, even on the Internet (Usenet excepted, which I’d argue hastened its decline; and even then, a lot of news servers wouldn’t carry the crazy groups). There’s plenty of history here already and it seems pretty clear that it hasn’t had catastrophic effects.

As I said elsewhere, if an actual problem arises, fine, let’s do something about it. But that’s not the case today. There’s just no indication that Facebook is going to block mainstream political speech anytime soon. If you find a real example of that, raise it, and I’m sure it’ll get a lot more attention than from just the free-speech absolutists.
Earlier this year when PS5's were really hard to get, I used Firefox Containers to help get one. One of the tracking services would tweet that some retailer had them for sale. I would use containers to open a dozen connections to the server. A couple containers would get through and eventually I was able to complete the purchase transaction.

It took about a week of trying and I was successful at Walmart and BestBuy.
> I hope you save comments like that for 1:1, clearly it is overstepping for a standup...

It depends on the person, team, and situation. Obviously there are more sensitive contexts where discretion is needed.

When I don't think that's necessary, I err on the side of just asking. I want my team to do this to each other too.
Agreed. This is an anti-trust issue, not a strategy problem for small businesseses to figure out a solution to. What's the solution? The same one used on Standard Oil.

Software throughput may not be quite so standardized, and that might prevent you from applying every single nitty gritty specific improvement that someone found in a maufacturing-oriented LSS implementation. But there are still things you can meaningfully quantify.

The thing that Kanban software development chooses to focus on, lead time, would be my top candidate. That seems universal. I'm guessing most others would be team-specific things that come out of a DMAIC analysis. If you've got a problem with too much rework due to team miscommunication, the specifics of how you measure that are going to depend a lot on how your team defines rework in the first place.
>For a different perspective, Tolkien (in non-fiction writing) distinguishes two kinds of supernatural power: Magic, which is power over others and over the world, to manipulate and control; and on the other hand, supernatural power that is creative, enrichment with and for others, something that gives them hope in a dark world, and Tolkien associates Christ with the latter.

Common terms for this distinction are thaumaturgy (magic done as an extension of human will) versus theurgy (magic done through the evocation of divine power.) And there's a long, strange history within Judaism and Christianity of what we would now consider "magic" (demonology, necromancy, talismans, etc.) attempting exert direct control over others and the world. Ironically, we know such practices often involved the clergy, because many of the rituals discovered in occult books involved Latin prayers and ecclesiastical elements, and few other classes would have been literate enough to write these things down.

This brings up another axis of magical classification, between "ceremonial" magic, such as what John Dee and other "mages" were up to (think wizards and books and sacred circles and such), and "folk" magic (think witches messing with herbs in the woods), the latter of which was often elements of pagan belief carried over into a Christianized culture.

The lines between "religion" and "magic" have always been a bit blurry, and mostly a matter of culture and politics. One person's sorcery is another person's religion and so forth.
Brilliant idea. We have thought of that before, when in a museum, where you know there is so much more history and information than just a label.
Surprised no one had done it yet.
