I should have written “Adding each extra third-party library as an additional dependency is always a huge step to take for a project”.

Any one third-party library comes with these drawbacks, and each library must be evaluated individually. Some may be worth the pain (requests, etc.), but many are not. One should try to minimize the number of third-party dependencies one has, not necessarily eliminate them entirely. It’s simply that the lower number of third-party libraries you depend on, the less pain you get of the kinds I listed. Every individual third-party library will have to overcome that threshold by being useful enough. And I doubt that, for most people, pytest is that much better to work with than the built-in unittest is.

Britain at its peak had colonised about 80% of the world, do not see any other big country accidentally created by Britain.

Britain has been known for divide and rule, especially for a region like India that has had a long history of massive Empires. Let us remember that the British did leave India as a collection of 600+ princely states. It was the Indians who convinced them to join the union.

The EU was formed with trade as a carrot to prevent them from going at each others throats, we have had Brexit in spite of that.

India is an old and continuous civilisation, it takes a lot of trial, error and learning to have a long running civilisation.

It's a start. You start with 10 calls. You learn from them and build an email to send to 100 people. You book more calls and then take the feedback and put it into a social media post and get 1000 more. Then you take what you learn there and turn it into an ad to show to 10K sets of eyeballs. The up-thread focus is on starting this process early.

Ultimately a lot of things around music are cultural and/or arbitrary. It's like languages in that sense. Personally I don't find this sort of analytical study to be that helpful for actually playing or improvising music, but it is neat information. You don't have to clinically study grammar and language theory in order to be a great writer; it's the same with music.

Something that's very important to note is that music theory and playing music are very different. Music theory allows us to understand what someone played, and lets us communicate to other musicians in a compact manner. Theory by no means imposes rules, unless you are specifically wanting to write music exactly like Bach or something.

As a logical-minded person myself, it's tempting to really dive into theory and the root of things, but I've found that it's a trap most of the time. For getting better at songwriting or composing, I've found the best thing to do is transcribe the songs you like (or portions of them) and see what they do, then incorporate those ideas into your own playing.

I also get the frustration around enharmonics (e.g. C# vs Db), but honestly it's not an issue in practice. I had no opinion until I started typesetting songs myself, and it just looks cleaner to sometimes have Cb or B# depending on the context. The circle of 5ths also neatly puts scales in the order of how many sharps or flats they have. Also, C# is not a commonly used key anyways.

From a theoretical perspective C major and A minor share the same notes, but when I improvise I do find the distinction meaningful. Having multiple ways to think about things is helpful. There are other things too: C minor 7 is the same as Eb major 6. Or if you play a rootless voicing, the harmony could be ambiguous. Etc.

Yes, our music notation system has some issues. But this article is overanalyzing it from an armchair. It's mostly fine in practice.
This took a lot of my mental energy when I was a teacher. I didn't have any of my bills on autopay because I had to constantly manage when I would have enough money in my account to pay any given bill. Even now that I'm much more comfortable I only have about half of my bills set to autopay just in case, e.g., one bill comes due the day before my paycheck lands in my account.

It'd be nice if the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration would require automotive manufacturers to use safe LEDs. The regulations need to be updated to reflect the reality that people are blinded by too much blue light at night.

France used to require headlamps to have yellow tint [0], to knock out most of the blue. But nowhere else in Europe had this requirement, and the glass was tinted yellow with cadmium, a heavy metal.

I think there must be no regulations about the color temperature of headlights, just how many watts the lights put out.

Glare is the uncomfortable feeling we experience when our eyes are overpowered. The regulators don't actually care about glare anymore. We're all being blinded, only the ignorant like blue-white headlights.

For Western classical music, this is often claimed and is probably only a little true these days (e.g. Schenker is truly post facto, though illuminating).

However, the theory really was deeply tied to the practice of composition and performance. One of the first exercises Mozart set his composition students was to write out various cadences. Likewise, Bach started his pupils with voice-leading. Theory was also needed for various forms of performance -- look at any manual on continuo playing (this is where the figures on roman numeral notation come from). Handel wrote a manual on continuo playing in which he touches on how to improvise a fugue!
Maybe a solution would be to get inspiration from keepass(xc) attachement's feature. It allows you to save abitrary files as attachement to an entry (btw this is how keepassxc does ssh key managment). Other keys/ certs (like HTTPS certs) would be supported such a feature too.

There seems to be a bit of animosity towards front-end development based on the comments. Particularly due to the constant change of the environment and what's perceived as the best option.

But, there haven't been calls for solutions.

There's points to backend technologies not changing much. My thoughts are because the backend just doesn't matter as much. Backends are mostly I/O streams placed and interacted with on mega-monolithic-hardware.

Front-end is different in every aspect. User interaction, engine/language constraints, client differences, and more. They all come into play. The applications you can run on the front-end currently would be alien to those writing them in the 90's, 00's and early 10's.

Front-end has to deal with immensely more complexity than the backend, and therefore new solutions and technologies need to be made.

The article says:

0 1.000 = 1:1 (unison)
1 1.059 (semitone; minor second)
2 1.122 ≈ 1.125 = 9:8 (whole tone; major second)
3 1.189 (minor third)
4 1.260 ≈ 1.250 = 5:4 (major third)
5 1.335 ≈ 1.333 = 4:3 (perfect fourth)
6 1.414
7 1.498 ≈ 1.500 = 3:2 (perfect fifth)
8 1.587 (minor sixth)
9 1.682 ≈ 1.667 = 5:3 (major sixth)
10 1.782 (minor seventh)
11 1.888 ≈ 1.889 = 17:9 (major seventh)
12 2 = 2:1 (octave)

This table has many omissions and some errors. The way people usually play these intervals on just intonation instruments, minor second should be 16:15, major second can be 9:8 or 10:9 depending on context, minor third is 6:5, minor sixth is 8:5, minor seventh can be 9:5 or 16:9 (or 7:4 in barbershop), major seventh is 15:8.

Definitely agree. I think that's what makes it such a tricky subject for people to get into. You don't need to play an instrument to learn music theory, you don't need music theory to write good music, although you will be applying it without knowing it, you technically don't need to know how to play any instrument to write music, etc.

Also, I guess my comment does sort of imply that I meant a classical instrument but arguably some of the things you listed could also be described as instruments, in which case, my point still stands. If you want to learn western music theory with the intentions of writing music, which is what this article is describing more or less, you need to have a way to make western music, whether that be a cello, a tracker, or a gameboy it doesn't matter.

You're absolutely correct that we all learn differently but I would bet the people who learned and understood music theory well prior to learning and/or experimenting with some sort of sound generation first are in the minority. Most people will learn both at the same time. Playing music goes along way with reinforcing why things are done the way they are done and reading about the concepts after hearing them, playing them, experimenting with them goes a long way.

I'd go so far to say that when you need such scale, Rails or Job Queues like Rails' are not the solution. Event-based architectures (event-sourced, event-buses, actors etc) are far better suited.

Rather than trying to solve all the problems that those architectures were explicitly designed for in redis/sidekiq/rails, just move to those architectures.

You won't have the nice "rails generate CreditCard" anymore /s, but you'll gain a lot of consistency, simplicity, performance and architectural sanity.

Voice is a harmonic timbre. If you could sing with inharmonic partials that perfect 5th would not sound so consonant.

And this is relevant even in Western music. The piano is technically tuned percussion, and although it's very close to harmonic, it's inharmonic enough that you have to deviate from small integer ratios (beyond any deviation required for tempered scales) if you want the most consonant sound:

So much of authorization is context / application dependent, I'm struggling with this a bit.

For example, I have a cluster of services. I allow access to some of them, for certain actions, based on whether the user is part of a patient's care team.

That's very dynamic, I need to do a FHIR query to one of my services to determine that. Then there's a lot more logic, like what servicer / organization affiliation the user is part of, this is also a runtime lookup in a shared session state thing, etc...

I just list all that as a basic example, there are so many things that are application specific that require runtime evaluation, it's hard for me to understand the benefit of writing all that in a different language, in a different place, where I can't use the libraries and utilities that are already part of the application.

And it was a big country when it formed, though not as big as it is now.
