Math and music are similar in so many aspects. Are the people good at one also good at other? I mean, do mathematicians understand musical theory better than those that have no background in mah?
Next.js, SvelteKit and so on are backend frameworks for sure, giving you an http server, routing, authentication, data loading. It’s just a slightly different toolkit than you’d get from traditional frameworks (an ORM, job scheduling, etc). Express indeed hardly qualifies.

As a long-time frontend developer, I find Angular pretty bad, but I understand it feels fine if you come from .NET/Java or another “enterprise-y” environment.
It makes sense. I'm the one selecting the tooling afterall so I should also be responsible for making sure to comply with whatever laws/directives there are.

This being said, it feels unfair when you try to comply but somebody fucks you over.

Drugs and alcohol are fun (and/or they have inherent value).

Crypto is only fun when it’s arbitrarily going up in value, which would seem to be somewhat curtailed but these bans.

Of course crypto can be used to obtain (illegal) drugs, but it’s not clear that “sorta hard way to sometimes buy certain kinds of also illegal things” is as inherently valuable..
That's such a cool nugget of information. The Versailles one is apparently A = 435 Hz, the 'diapason normal'. Nowadays we mostly use concert pitch at A = 440 Hz. The 99% Invisible podcast has a mini-story on it:

https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/mini-stories-volume-8...

They say that after Versailles:

> London’s Royal Philharmonic Society would still tune higher to about 439 Hz though. This was because the mandate specified that Concert A should be 435 Hz according to a tuning fork of a specific weight at 15 degrees Celsius. The temperature was specified so that the metal tuning fork could be accurately reproduced, but British orchestras reasoned that their concert halls were warmer than that, and so to compensate they would tune higher.

I wonder if they tested their assumption with a conformant tuning fork.
How 'bout we go up one more step on the Ladder of Confusing Unknowability.

Only a little bit, the idea is what creates the majority of value, not the actual work put in.

The man-hours spent are irrelevant.

If someone is doing strip mining by men with shovels, the value they create is not the price of the mined material, but the value that that material brings when it's put to good use.

If someone comes along start doing strip mining by truck and bulldozer, they will spend a fraction of the man hours, and yet create orders of magnitude more value.

The article doesn't mention, but also one of the million dollar Millennium Prizes is to do with exactly this.

Except for a few very special circumstances (high energy collisions), we can't get any real answers from Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) about the nucleus that actually agree with reality - we can barely get any answers at all.

The problem is that these equations use what mathematicians, somewhat disdainfully, like to call "formal mathematics". That is to say that they are just a bunch of rules for manipulating symbols on paper that don't really make sense. More like numerology than real mathematics. No one knows if the rules make any sense at all. If you follow the rules in a different order, for example, you get different answers, and no one knows what it means. The "formal" equations are more based on physical understanding and not the usual solidly based "real" mathematics.

It is kind of like how people started using complex numbers before they understood why they worked. They knew the square root of minus 1 was nonsense, and yet you get the right answer, but no one knew why. Today it is a similar situation with QCD (except you can hardly get any answers at all).

So if you solve this problem (either in the positive or negative) you get 1 million dollars.
I agree with you that you can often do this in a way that is still pleasant to listen to. But timestretching/pitch shifting is very far from being transparent in the way that a decent resampler is.

Even a small shift will introduce some audible artifacts in most music. Will they be more or less apparent to the listener than the difference between recordings tuned to A=440 or 432 would be? I don't know. Depends on the music and the listener, I imagine. That would (be one of the many, many unstated things that would) matter to a paper like this.

(For what it's worth, I wrote and maintain a widely-used timestretcher library. Possibly this means I am more aware of the limitations than the strengths of such technology)
I think there's two reasons that things seem less original these days: Prior to the internet that first stage was hidden from view until someone made it to the second stage. Digital tools have made creation accessible to pretty much everyone with the technology.

> If people divorce because they have no other reason to stay together (no survival level risk, children, common missions etc.) how is it “ruined” ?

You aren't reading what GP has written so maybe you'll read it if I quote it without the context. GP wrote: "Instead we have ruined the institution by making the main reason for it to be 'love'.".

So the answer to your question would be, it isn't. The institution of marriage isn't ruined, in GPs view, by the act of divorce when love is gone and there are no other reasons to say together but when entering in to marriage when no other reason besides love exists.
I don't know about mathematicians, but there's definitely an overlap with programmers and musicians.
Peripherally, the short story 0wnz0red by Cory Doctorow.

I think people are dealing with the issue on the other end, by just not getting married in the first place.
BTW, don't use SendGrid unless you intend to pay them lots of money for a dedicated IP. I've been using them for a couple of years now and it's extremely frustrating, because they are used by spammers and do not react quickly enough or simply do not care. Some of your E-mails will end up sent from IPs that landed in various anti-spam blackhole systems already and will never reach their destination.

This happens regularly and makes SendGrid totally useless for transactional E-mail (I prefer to send it myself) and problematic for things like product updates.

I complained to them about this problem many times and it is my impression that this is a way to force-upsell customers to higher plans with dedicated IPs.
I don’t get this attitude though, not just love, but everything about us is chemistry.

> Now, with remote, the “on my own time” is more blurry.

It's definitely more blurry now but I think there was a blur without remote work too.

For example, you might work at an office and come home but then think about a programming problem you had at work at 9:30pm. Not so much sitting at a code editor but your mind is occupied with the problem and potentially you even solved it on paper so you can output the code tomorrow "at work".

Or maybe during your lunch break you're mentally churning through some problem you were stuck on 2 days ago because that's how your brain operates.

This is why the idea of working long blocks of set hours is so strange to me in this field. I often solve very complex problems when talking a walk, showering, nearly falling asleep or the second I wake up. None of this is "on the clock time" in a traditional 9-5 job but very important work happens during these after hour times -- often times it's uncontrollable because your brain has actively running background tasks that finish when they want to finish.
> on a nearly universal human experience

Love is not a nearly universal human experience. Love is a whole lot of concepts and emotions and experiences that are highly dependent on the cultural context.

This is true for Visa/Mastercard as well. I used to work in merchant processing and sat near the chargeback department and would frequently overhear conversations with irate merchants having to pay a $25 chargeback fee regardless of the outcome.

Your comment makes no sense without you specifying what the "divs" variable value even is.
GP already addressed that:

> Science has proven that love is a mix of chemistry and emotions. (Or emotions caused by chemistry) that waxes and wanes and goes away over time.

> And yes, some people might say they have been in love for decades. Which is great! But it rarely happens. Generally love waxes and wanes. Rises and falls. Comes and goes. And those same couples that have been in love for decades will tell you all of the downswings and upswings over the years.
For me the most important part of this article is the comparison of how Bitcoin operates in the US vs other less powerful economies. Specifically how cryptocurrencies are primarily priced in dollars, the US has enough international power and control over the existing financial system to leverage control over crypto-exchanges, and how moving economic activity out of the Rupee into crypto-currencies significantly risks damaging the the rupee. This is something that is probably often missed by people in this conversation but it's very common in economies with weak currencies to see other strong currencies used in their place (plenty of places in Turkey accept dollars and euros for example) and this has a real impact on government policy.
utter tripe. A=whatever is a social convention and there have been many, many, many concert pitches historically in the European musical tradition.
I'm glad you mentioned it because it's the format I would like to see get more attention, and I agree that tooling around it is holding it back.

The repetition is genuinely useful if editing or adding one or two entries by hand, but tools for ingesting data into recfiles format, working with it in bulk and so on, I agree with you, they're primitive.

My daydream is a tool like jq for recfiles, with something in front of it like pandoc for structured data, so that I can put my choice of JSON/TOML/YAML/TSV/CSV through the filter and work with it in recfile format.

The real prize would be a solid library for importing and exporting SQLite data in recfiles form. The mapping is obvious and the metadata would allow for preservation of more of the underlying schema than the standard outputs, which are CSV and a collection of literal SQLite commands which you can execute to insert the data.

I think pairing SQLite with a standard recfiles protocol would be exceptionally powerful, a workflow where SQLite reads a collection of recfiles into an in-memory database, slices and dices at leisure, and exports the changeset as patches over the recfiles? Yes please.

Eh, sort of. They're basically shipping the Rust equivalent of C header files and import libraries. Whereas before they would parse metadata in a build script which would then generate the Rust code on the fly (which was hell for a number of reasons). And the installed Windows SDK was used for the import libraries.

I am increasingly feeling that the majority in any democracy is willing to use authoritarian methods to achieve their goals. They are suspending due process in Canada because of a peaceful protest. This allows banks to freeze accounts and seize assets. This is what China does. If I were Canadian, I would be very concerned about the safety of my money in Canadian dollars in a Canadian bank. Canada is just the latest example of this kind of creeping authoritarianism. I wonder if they realise how much this will hurt the trust in the Canadian dollar and Canadian financial institutions, and the massive push for crypto adoption that will result.
Ask HN: Stuck as a CS Major. Is there a way out?
Long story short, I'm a junior taking CS, I hate it (sorry to everyone who loves it. Also, to clarify, my university isn't very theoretical in its approach), and because of my circumstances it's too late for me to switch majors.

I originally wanted to be a physicist, but I switched midway into my first year because CS has got more financial security, physics isn't as glamorous as pop science would have you believe, academia might be a bad fit, etc etc, and I thought I'd like it. Hell, everyone thought I was in love with CS until I started complaining their ears off, because I SEEM like I'd like it. It's to the point that it affects my work. I do submit my work on time unless life gets in the way, and I do pretty decently actually, but getting through the thick wall of "fuck fuck fuck i signed up for this" and boredom takes a lot of effort — more than I thought, and I don't have any side projects because I'm not interested in anything. My resume would probably look like a big wall of entry-level skills because I've tried so many things hoping I'd find something bearable. Finding this tolerable would really be the best-case scenario for me, but it's simply not happening. I wish I was having a bad time because I'm frustrated or burnt out, or I'm having a very very hard time, but I'm not. I just hate this.

My question is: do you know anyone who ended up with a non-coding job with a CS degree? If so, how did that work out for them? Also, were they able to get a job that didn't glue them to a desk all the time?

Right now I'm only interested in my electronics, math, and 3d modelling/animation (an elective) classes (which shouldn't be surprising - I love physics), and I wonder if I should've gone with engineering instead, but it's too late for that. I'm looking into embedded systems since it's "closer to the metal," I have some arduino parts lying around, and I do like C and assembly better than high-level languages, but if even that is too much software for me... I don't know anymore. I like managing and organizing projects ("Type A" apparently), and they say I'm a decent talker, so I'm also considering minoring in something business related and getting business experience. My family is full of businessmen, and they all say it's about the skills and a degree in management is useless, so I might be able to get into it. International business, maybe? I'm fond of learning languages.

Well, if nothing works out, I'm going to choose something random from the things I've tried (web dev, android dev, malware analysis, whatever) and run with it. It's about time I do something I hate for my resume so that I can get that 9-5 job I'll hate. Sue me, I need to eat. I'll just simmer in the irony that someone like me, who is passionate about so many things, some of which are practical, ended up in something I don't like.

If I sound desperate, I am.

Any advice?

Edit: This thread has given me better advice than I've gotten anywhere else. Thanks guys. Also, what I hate specifically about it is programming, of all things. For some reason, I just don't like coding.
Some people, sure, but I'm willing to bet it's not because they want to to more easily dump the other person.

I don't really think so. The stuff that's covered in the first half of this article is certainly very math-y, but you can be a great musician and not know this stuff. I really think all you need to know is basic arithmetic and the absolute basics of modular arithmetic (akin to learning how 12 o'clock + 1 hour = 1 o'clock, not 13 o'clock).

Becoming a great musician is more about developing your ear, technique, repertoire, etc. It's more similar to learning a foreign language than learning math, in my opinion.
Pytest easily runs unittest codebases, and you can just start writing new tests in pytest, and gradually move to it. Most of those left in pure unittest land are probably in some category of "amount of legacy is too large" or "I don't care anymore", and most probably some amount of both.
The legitimate distinction is only used or brought up when people discuss the connotation.
