You are wrong about the filming (it is regularly done across the whole world, if only for the good publicity on TV screens), but your spidey sense might be correct.

FYI, the Russian-language discussions are about whether the whole thing was staged, or only part of it. In other words, they could have actual contacts with protection, and share the money, or they could be observed silently, and maybe controlled through private talks with the leadership. So people try to guess whether members were prepared for the show arrest, or weren't.

Mafia (legal or illegal) does not care about blockchains and exploits, mafia knows that money don't appear out of thin air. When there's a need to launder the money to have those piles of cash, the word of mouth reaches the relevant people. It's not about secret services or international cyber-mumbo-jumbo, it's first and foremost about the money.(Whoop-whoop, capitalism and free market!)

Also, those kinds of relations don't go unnoticed. When there's a need to launder the money to have that expensive real estate in a Western country, the word of mouth reaches the relevant people. The dossier on hackers was not an offer, it was an ultimatum. “Either deal with them, or we are leaking the data on top government officials who benefit from hacking, and making lots of fuss and property seizures”. As they probably met with the same people whose data was supposed to be leaked, it had an effect.

So there is very little “justice” going on, just the same old “the strong reigns over the weak”. How can other commenters rush to discuss cardboard games of “international politics” and to play with hand dolls of “US”, “Russia”, and “China” with such a childlike joy is a mystery to me. These things exist in media propaganda universe, they are not real.

Well, I've already written too much on this page! But every part of that seems wrong or very strange. And just before what you quoted:

> 3 Types of Minor Scales

> There are three types of minor scales in music theory.

What type of "music theory"? Dorian mode doesn't count? Maybe 3 in classical music theory, not in jazz or..rock/pop/contemporary music etc. And calling them "types" of minor scale sounds very odd to me.

> The natural minor scale is the most common minor scale.

Is that true? Arguably not. What sort of music are they talking? Does it mean "out of all music ever written" or "nowadays in music" or..something else? They might mean, "in classical music before the mid 19th C" if they say there are 3 minor scales. Or, most likely, "This is true by definition ..because it's called natural minor." - they probably never thought about if it's true or not. The scale of a piece/song (usually) depends on the melody, and I think Aeolian (i.e. "natural") and Dorian are both common. Possibly Dorian is much more common - that "minor 6" sound very common in pop songs since..forever, the 60s if not way before, is Dorian not Aeolian. It's extremely common in R&B etc. Or like..uh..the second chord of Here, There and Everywhere, Gmajor then Amin, the scale is evidently not Aeolian but Dorian.

> the default when a musician refers to “a minor scale” or “minor.”

Well, this is questionable too. Depends what kind of music. "Minor" mostly refers to a chord, not a scale. I'm not sure people ever say "a minor scale", when would you (need to) say that? It might mean a minor blues scale in some genres.

> The natural minor scale pattern features the same exact notes as the Aeolian mode in modal music.

I find that super-bizarre and sounds like they don't know what they're talking about. Features the same exact notes?! - it's the same thing. A little like saying "news.ycombinator.com features the same exact articles as Hacker News". You would think "What the hell are they talking about?!", and that's what I think when I read that sentence.
That seems like a reasonable explanation to me, but to just give a reference for my train of thought... I was thinking of Macquarie Island, which has a weird history of animal/pest control. Rodents were introduced to the island, then cats to help with the rodents... and then the cats wiped out the native seabird population.

Edit: Just realized I'm mentioning a small island, like you said, hehe.

Meh ... It's the top 10% at interviewing and moving, not necessarily the most productive 10%, right? Although they may be over-represented.
Wow, this site has a lot of self-study resources. I've been sort of chicken pecking at books about learning to try to extract ideas, like stuff by Barbara Oakley, etc.

Even the Wikipedia page on "evidence-based learning" only discusses three things: spaced repetition (Anki), n-back training and some weird ambiguous behavioral thing called errorless learning.

I've also continually scoured HN and Reddit for tips.

Does anyone have any hidden knowledge to share? My current experiment is a tweak of memory palaces. I take a route in my city that I know well, that I can picture myself traversing. I then mark monuments on the path. I then mentally attach items to the path. Finally, I take a screenshot of the path and manually label each milestone with the associated piece of information.

So far I've managed to memorize 19 items related to Javascript proxies this way, after a single session.

Is it really still airgapped if it accepts input from an outside system?
It's not just a genetic trait. A lot more important will be how you eat and the amount of exercise you get. Also the amount of sun you're exposed to, and whether you overwork yourself (in the past elderly wealthy people looked a lot better and had longer lives than the working class). A lot of factors which have nothing to do with genes, but are the result of your decisions.
I experienced something similar in terms of having to juggle numerous responsibilities spanning multiple roles. It is unfortunate and not only is your company taking advantage of you, your coworkers are too. This is at least what I experienced where I'd go out of my way to help others yet those I helped rarely paid it back.

I'm in between jobs now and am down leveling in my new role to a senior developer from an architect/manager/lead dev with just as much pay and comparable benefits and plenty of other appealing aspects. It took me 4 months to find the right position, but I was patient. The excitement and relief are palpable.

FAANG companies have never interested me much so I'm willing to take a lower comp, but I still do really well for my area.

My point is that it just isn't worth the headache. A retention bonus probably isn't life changing money so ask if it is worth it at all. Maybe you'll get it before you find that new job, maybe you won't. But focus on what will make your life better, not just compensation and titles.

You're being taken advantage of and not compensated for what you bring to the table.

Good luck!
Yeah it doesn’t seem like people here realize the way to get to a classless society is for the proletariat to suppress the upper classes and whither the state. That’s kinda the point!

Ask HN: Keeping track of events of your friends and family?
Hi HN,

I’m getting older and with each year that passes I realise how valuable the small things are — like getting a call on your birthday.

I’ve stopped using Facebook for 3 years now but I can’t seem to find a good way to keep track of birthdays or other important events.

I’ve tried using a self-made Roam system after I got frustrated with my Notion duct-tape solution. I’ve also used personal CRMs, like Dex, but they seem built for “professional connectors” — which I am not :)

How do you do it? Pen and paper? Real rolodex?
From what I understand the purpose of the mining operation is to keep the grid "balanced". "Bitcoin solves this" loses its luster a little when you compare it to running a data center next to that plant, without implicitly gambling the financial success of the nuclear investment on the continued value of bitcoin.
So... you want to get into office based solely on media copyright issues and literally every other issue is "elect us and we'll figure it out!". Very hard to take seriously, good luck.

And yes, your name is silly. You should change it; messaging matters and you start with your left foot forward.

The main means for a third party to win seats in the US would be if they went into districts which are effectively uncontested because they're >70% blue or red, so the other major party isn't even running a candidate for you to split the vote with.

Then the winning platform in that district would be the one where you're mostly aligned with the party currently occupying that seat but differ on the pirate issues.

So you'd end up with a blue pirate party and a red pirate party based on which district they're running in. They would work with each other on pirate issues, but they'd generally caucus with different major parties on a per-district basis.

It might also help to prioritize getting range voting or STAR voting so this would stop being necessary.
This is exactly how I feel as well! Units in isolation certainly deserve testing, but the actual long-lived value comes from testing the public interface of the module/program/etc. In one compiler project I maintain, I stopped writing unit tests years ago in favor of just feeding it input like users would and asserting on the outputs. It gives me both great freedom to refactor quickly, and great confidence that I'm not regressing.

As you say, depends on the project. What I described above is entirely free of side effects - I wouldn't dream of testing a web service this way.

Of course integration is never in conflict with unit testing - they're different and can happily coexist.

That's probably not viable under US copyright law, especially with the Bright Tunes Music v. Harrisongs Music precedent; if someone is going to reimplement the algorithms and concepts without a copyright license, they're better off not reading your code so they don't have to prove in court, to a computer-illiterate jury, that the aspects their code had in common with your code were really purely functional and not creative.
I would say that testing only the public contract is generally very helpful.

When the logic gets super complex, I would think that a good comprise is to modularize your code - and test the public API of each module. A good heuristic is to see if that modules are (or could be) helpful by themselves in the future.

You then write tests for a module assuming it's dependents cover their edge cases.
True, but what happens to Europe/Nato when it finds out U.S isn't gonna protect it anymore? Bad news. Huge spend on defense, higher debt, etc.
Notice that I said “pilots who have been in plane crashes” and not “pilots who caused plane crashes.” This goes along with the theme of the lawyer losing the case, the surgeon losing the patient, etc. Sometimes you can do everything right and still everything goes wrong. Which is to say that the experience gained from these events makes these people better practitioners; it doesn’t matter what school they went to or what test they took if they gained real world experience practicing their craft.

No, I wouldn’t fly with a pilot who flunked out of flight school, but I would certainly fly with a pilot who’s flown for 10 years without a license over a pilot with a brand new PPL and <2000 hours flight experience.

Maybe for better perspective we can try this exercise: let’s say there’s a world renowned brain surgeon in, say, Norway who has worked for decades and performed tens of thousands of surgeries. No mistakes! Tens of thousands of happy stories!

But wait. Our intrepid surgeon can’t practice in the US because she didn’t go to medical school here! If she wanted to operate on a patient in the US mainland, she’d lose to a doctor who just exited residency!

If you were the patient who needed brain surgery, who would you pick? The world renowned expert or the guy who just finished training? Your logic dictates that the guy with the credentials wins out for no reason other than they went through whatever process to obtain those credentials, regardless if there are better metrics or methods to judge occupational success by.

That's not a good excuse for putting your readers at legal risk of copyright infringement. A real, non-shitty code base could easily be a "derivative work" of the shitty code.
I’ve been using a self hosted miniflux instance, and I’m pretty happy with it. The fundamentals of how it’s implemented are quite sound.

I do find myself wishing there were more ways to organize / curate the feed views, and I think about it often enough that I’ll probably maintain a fork one day.

RSS readers are remarkably simple things, it might even be a fun project to hack one together for yourself. :)
I agree with your point. Marketability is the best job security. You should always be testing your worth to your firm and others. Maybe your company undervalues you -- be prepared to move on. Or, your market value might be lower than you think -- time to push yourself to enhance your value proposition.

>People still might be able to support 3.5 children on a single salary if they were also willing to live by 1800s standards.

People are currently able to. There are populations in the US where some demographics do have higher averages and definitely there are individual families where people do have 4 children. It's not common, but not too rare either and they aren't "affluent". Many are the opposite of affluent.

"Staging" a picture with that many cats at once seems rather less likely than the alternative of "They found a warm spot that also annoys the nearby humans."
I think the great part is being able to assign multiple tags to a window so it appears under multiple workspaces (same toolbelt as a sticky tag, which can co-exist), and being able to assign multiple tags to a workspace ("Chat" and "Music"). The ability to toggle your music windows in and out of existence, independently of other contexts, feels more like having every window on a hotkey than switching to another entire workspace or using sticky. It abstracts your contexts out from your workspaces and allows you to preform manipulations across those sets. I don't think dwm would let you show the difference (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference_set) between two tags without a patch (because why?), but if you wanted to you could.
If the cats had access to the indoors there would be no reason for them to want to be on the dish. I assume these are feral cats, probably from the same litter, as 5 random cats would not want to get that close to each other.
NuScale will, after about 15 years of engagement, receive a design certification later in 2022. After that- they will still need to apply with a combined license application like Oklo did.

Discarding a request for support with extreme prejudice might entail using LinkedIn to look up the boss of the person who asked you for support, then phoning them up to complain about the request for support, or it might entail filing for a restraining order against the person requestings support. The point of this clause is to intimidate people out of making the request in the first place.
Instead of some number of Amazon packages with unknown contents going missing, cops and the recipient immediately know that $8k of headphones were stolen. It's obviously over the threshold of grand theft. Etc.

And then if anyone is poking around at secondary markets, you have a massive number of item X showing up new-in-box grey market in a zip code where a bunch of that item was stolen.

Compare to having 20 random consumer items, all stolen from different end-recipients. It's hard for any authority to know these items were stolen. It's hard to establish you stole them or were knowingly receiving stolen property. Even if they surmise that they're probably stolen, as far as they know you could have committed petty theft several times at unknown places.
There is a long history of human consumption of some substances that far surpasses that of modern pharmaceuticals.
I don't fully agree.

While it's nice to have a goal to shoot for when learning to program, it's also important to be able to practice discrete topics individually so that you can fully grasp what they're about.
Been using web outside of browser for last 10+ years. I am addicted to it, having written many scripts and programs to fetch and process HTML and other filetypes outside the browser. I can retrieve and extract data/information much faster and more efficiently using simpler programs that are small and work together. For viewing HTML, I prefer my text-only browser. HTML looks much better, less variable, more uniform, than in a graphical browser.
The only reason these methods are appealing to me is because the alternatives are so unappealing. I avoid having to deal with the downsides of using "modern" web browsers and the annoyances of trying to view the web through those browsers.

Pedantic-er note: ^D isn’t necessarily the VEOF character — you can change it with tcsetattr() after modifying termiosp->c_cc[VINTR] or by using stty(1). And it doesn’t send an “EOF character” (EOF is a condition/convention more than a character). All it does is make read(2) return immediately with whatever data is currently in the line buffer. You can try it now:

$ cat
something^Dsomething^D
$ cat

VEOF causes the tty driver (tty(4)) to send “something” to cat immediately; and cat echoes that back out to the terminal as intended.

If there’s nothing in the line-buffer (because you pressed VEOF at the start of the line) then read(2) returns 0, which is interpreted as an end-of-file condition by your libc in fread() and friends.

You can checkout OpenBSD’s termios(4) for a more detailed explanation :)
Not sure I agree with the abolition of patents. If it takes you a decade or more to invent something and then someone else can immediately copy and sell it, what incentive do you have to do all that work?

I do agree that patents/copyright need reform and a reduced patent period could be beneficial, but I think complete abolition would backfire.
Right, or a global theocratic government, depending on who wins the world war that would be necessary to bring about this utopia.

So there is no progress in non Proof-of-Work coins today? Perhaps the author is saying that there are no blockchains that are being used as the basis of regulated stable-coins and CBDC projects that are being tested by central banks today?

I mean, the author is arguing as if Bitcoin, and Ethereum are the only blockchains that exist today. Hence why this is another blog-post that associates all cryptocurrencies having the same characteristics as Bitcoin, and Ethereum, which that isn't true and the author knows it.

This is all given that they 'claim' to have done 'research' even though they feel 'annoyed' by all of this. [0] If you are going to argue about cryptocurrencies and blockchains technologies in general, at least attack the current alleged 'state of the art' rather than using the same old arguments on the same old cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum) that everyone knows its faults already.

I have experienced something similar in my general learning patterns -- and, being 35+, I don't think this has always been like that. Might well be that information overload etc has actually amplified this kind of impulsive learning sprints ("learning in bursts") for many of us.
