I think in most orgs managers are supposed to _extract_ value, not to add.

The best image could be of the relation between a singer and their manager: some singers do everything themselves, others will benefit from someone focusing on maintaining a stream of money flowing in.

The ear does not care about ratios. Dissonance can be modeled using Plomp and Levelt's curve, which predicts the perceived dissonance of a pair of sine waves. Dissonance is minimum at unison, smoothly increases to a maximum at a narrow interval (dependent on absolute frequency), and smoothly decreases again as the interval increases.

Sethares extended this model to arbitrary sounds by decomposing them into their sine-wave partials with a Fourier transform and then taking an amplitude-weighted average of the predicted dissonance of each pair of partials. If you apply this procedure to intervals using harmonic timbres (timbres composed of partials with frequency an integer multiple of the fundamental frequency), the dissonance curve has minima that happen to be at small integer frequency ratios.

Harmonic timbres are most common in music, but there is an important class of musical instruments that are naturally inharmonic: tuned percussion. Unless substantial effort is put into designing them to approximate harmonic timbres, these sound most consonant when tuned outside small integer ratios. Indonesian gamelan music is a well known example of this. And with synthesized timbres you can have whatever inharmonicity you like, so timbres can be designed to suit any arbitrary tuning system.

Yes, I believe he did multiple RH podcast episodes on this.
He has also released a book: "The Bomber Mafia: A Story Set in War". [1]

I think the first I heard of the Tokyo firebombing during WWII was in the Errol Morris documentary: "The Fog of War: Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara".

Robert McNamara was an officer under Curtis LeMay. He says LeMay once said that, had the United States lost the war, they would have been tried for war crimes, and agrees with this assessment. [2]

Ask HN: What's the remote job search like for US developers nowadays?
I'm getting the itch and ready to make a move, but the thought of interviewing in this new world is absolutely terrifying. I just read a LinkedIn post about a small startup in SF receiving 10,000 applications a month at this point. How has it been? Can anyone even get an interview?
I love the HN view too - it is compact, efficient and information dense. I think it works well for search results. And I love HN so it seemed like a neat homage :)

Thank you for trying it out and the great feedback too. There hasn't been too much discussion here about Google Scholar, but better research and academic results is something I hear a lot of people talk about as a growing problem.
Ah, but what if the radio makes you a calmer driver since you're less bored on your commute, and so the change in behavior it leads to gives you better milage? You are part of this machine too.
> Science has proven that love is a mix of chemistry and emotions.

When did that happen?

As I understand it we've got to the point of understanding some of the chemical signals our bodies use to reflect the idea we called love, and that's about as far as it is reasonable to take that notion. Taking it further is unscientific.

We don't even remotely understand our own bodies' signalling processes so I'm not sure how we reached the conclusion that love is solved.
How much of the discussion happened in languages other than Portuguese? This definitely seems like an interesting event but this is the first time I've heard of it. I would definitely encourage sharing more details if anyone has them.
I explained the issue in the last two paragraphs of my post (the GP to this one). You drew an implication from "photons don't experience time" that is not valid. I explained why it's not valid.
Except the poetry is written in German, but must be read aloud in French. This is how I felt as a young trombone player. I was playing an instrument that had a nearly linear physical relationship with pitch, I was required to memorize the pieces, but I was required to translate sheet music in my head during practice. It felt like training with one hand tied behind my back.
The first iPhone app I wrote back in college would crash if you used it in a time zone with a positive UTC offset. I can't even remember why.
Same for me on mobile.
Not sure if you remember, back then you could add “like buttons” from facebook on your webpages, and if someone would like it it would display “X liked ‘music saved my life’” (if that was the title of the page) on their timeline. Which would make a lot of people “like” the page by clicking on the like button located on the timeline this time. I had seen these english websites doing this with a lot of funny or inspirational sentences like that, so I created the first French website like that. I was in the top alexa 500 for some time, then facebook decided that this feature was dumb because it was, and all these websites died. It was nice money while I was still a student though :)

during my first year of uni I had to do a presentation about what I wanted to do in life and how I was planning to find a job and make money after graduating. In front of two professionals that were here to help guide students (and probably making less than me). It was graded. I told them that it didn’t matter because I was already making bank lol, they didn’t believe me and gave me a shit grade. Good times.
> But getting people to dedicate a core/thread [to RX/TX polling] is also a hard sell.

I think that if you're at the level where the kernel network stack is not enough, core pinning is a no brainer. You're probably spending more than one core in receiving data, moving to a polling thread pinned to a single core will not only improve performance due to the polling, but also due to the scheduler not pushing your process out and to the possibility of putting the threads on the appropriate NUMA nodes.

Right, and when you asked your parents/teachers/those around you about aspect of the language you were speaking, did they tell you to not worry about it and just feel it? Or did they explain, well this part of grammar is called an X, and we use it to modify Y, which in turn is a part of Z - such that you could better understand it, communicate it to others better, and generalise the specific thing you'd intuitively learned to a wider aspect of language?
What's a generalist, if not full-stack?

What would you be doing/want to do if hired in such a role with your current skill set?
I do speculate that there will be a massive number of casualties during the transition from fiat to cryptocurrencies, sadly. But it’s NOT the goal. I just don’t believe it is possible to cleanly move from fiat to cryptocurrency in a clean, neat, and equitable way. It’ll be chaotic, disruptive, and sad in many ways. And despite all that, I believe it’ll be worth it. Much like other chaotic events that resulted in increased freedom for regular citizens.

Future generations will benefit greatly once the transition is completed. And THAT is the goal. To create a world where sound money is the default. Where you can work for money, save it, and live your life without worrying about what bullshit the fed is up to.
Well that just ruined my day.

All work I’ve done that earned me raises was not fed to me by managers.

I spend a few months knocking out work that’s fed to me and I use that time to understand the business and the code base and where they’re not playing nicely at a high level.

Once I understand the code and the business, I generate and argue for my own work. If I’m successful with this, the evidence of my contribution is plentiful and I get rewarded.

Pretty soon my code is legacy and my days are filled up mentoring, debugging and reviewing other peoples contributions, which effectively lets me focus on only the tricky bits and identify dev ex rough patches.

My own limited coding time is filled smoothing out the dev ex of my system. This is basically the top of the heap as far as I’m concerned. If you get bored, rinse and repeat with a larger problem space or bigger org.
Frequency is the repetition rate of the sound wave created by the instrument.

Pitch is the perceptual (i.e., human auditory perception) correlate of frequency. Pitch is what your brain/auditory system interprets that it hears from the sound wave at that frequency.

For a piano chord, there is likely the fundamental frequency (or f0, the lowest frequency), and its upper harmonics (integer multiples of the fundamental). That's why musical instruments (like the piano) sound richer than simple sine waves: their physical bodies create richer, more complex waveforms from the harmonics, giving it a unique timbre.

There are some subtle differences. For example, (very oversimplified), if you were made to listen to a waveform containing the frequencies of 60 Hz and 90 Hz, your auditory system would "hear" a pitch corresponding to a fundamental frequency of 30 Hz, since 60 Hz and 90 Hz are integer multiples of 30 Hz.

I don’t think I’ve ever really felt any emotional resonance to an appeal to nature. Not even in my hippie-Wiccan late teens and early twenties.

But I’m endlessly curious about how minds work:

Is “unnatural is the same as bad” a foundational position for you, or is it that you dislike masks and this argument is a metaphorical soldier you’re sending out to do memetic battle for you to support that dislike?

Or is it something else entirely? Like I said, I never “got” this type of appeal. The unnatural is too commonplace and too useful.
Honestly, BGR is mostly fine. I was apprehensive when I bought mine, but so far it's only a small handful of things that don't play nice.

As someone who has used Akamai and talked to them, they seem to be so rooted in, talk to your account manager for it, who will just upsell you stuff you don't need.
I don't think anybody "keeps up with labels" as such, and it's not about people doing what they enjoy - it's about certain abrasive personality types that are drawn to programming.
To play The devil's advocate, what would you instead recommend to the government to do so that people could carry on with their lives and not have their likelihood shut down?

> Civil liberties, once lost, are difficult or impossible to recover. I don’t believe the government can resist using their new powers again, now that the genie is out of the bottle.

It might be new in Canada but governments have been doing this (using similar emergency laws) during the pandemic for a while. An anti-authoritarian person may feel that's extremely scary, while someone else may ask what else should a government do to prevent millions from dying, given that there are no pandemic-specific laws.
Are you sure you don't mean 'commute'? Monads, being endofunctors, compose just fine. Though the composition may or may not be a monad I suppose.
I often think the the imbalance between mental effort and physical effort in modern office jobs causes a lot of problems.

Some of my happiest days were when I trained boxing and weights 2 hours six times a week. It's hard to be depressed or anxious when you are physically exhausted and the feeling of physical strength just makes you feel better. Working out to the point of exhaustion feels like a "reset" for body and mind.

Eating is another thing. When I hike the whole day or backpack for days my eating gets naturally balanced without effort. I eat what I need and that's it. When I work for 10 hours a day at a desk I start craving junk food and have to be careful not to put on weight. And not moving much is physically exhausting. I think that's because in the past usually when you had a lot of mental stress you were under physical threat (e.g. chased by a predator or enemy) and therefore probably needed physical energy. So we react to the typical modern workplace stress by wanting more energy but we never use it.

Any ideas for a career that balances physical and mental effort better (and pays well)? A few years ago I worked near a place where they shot a lot of movie scenes and film production seemed pretty attractive. They spend a lot of time in the office planning things but then they go out for extended periods of time and do the actual shoot.
> “ doing this thing that's highlighted in the story. And then the story invariably will say that the actual number of people doing this thing is not really known, or is pretty low. Seems like you could write this story about so many different groups of people doing a thing.”

Think of it from the perspective of the community of people who believe the ideology

How do you survive in these foreign lands as an expatriate? Through a community of like minded people, with networking and mutual support.

Special communities love to share their stories, or you may say they’re not just spectators but participants in their community.

Once you get your head around that, then consider all the people who don’t share their stories, and instead live in the _default_ world.
> What is the question and what are the possible answers? What difference would it make in our morals?

Who said anything about morals here? The questions are, why do we feel the way we do, and why do our feelings make us act the way we do? Evo-psych gives some ways of possibly answering that. How we got here is largely independent of where we want to go from here.

> There is no contradiction or dilema for me. I do not feel oppressed by society or morals or biology.

I honestly don't know what the rest of your comment has anything to do with any of what the article is talking about. When did the article bring up any contradictions?
Damn that sounded really bull(shit)ish! How do I invest? )
No reasonably informed person is talking about Tulips when they cite Tulip mania, they're talking about the speculative bubble around Tulips. To put it in a different context, when we talk about the global financial crisis of 2007, no one suggests we should ban owning houses, but we did need to heavily regulate the financial instruments that drove the creation of that bubble. And if we're going to talk about mania I've got a great example of mania for you:

> Bitcoin and blockchain are genius technology, on par with the greatest achievements in mathematics and theoretical physics.

You're basically demonstrating the mania that you decry. I'd love to hear on what basis you can possibly argue that bitcoin/blockchain is somehow on the same level as the discovery of gravity, or the discovery of radioactivity, or the theory of relativity.
Not sure people over 40 don't want to learn new things; they're likely just more interested in stable long-term technologies and investing their time wisely rather than hopping onto the newest fad all the time. With age comes understanding that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Emperor's new clothes and all that.
Hiroshima was a supply and logistics base for the Japanese military with 40,000 soldiers in the city roughly 1/2 where killed by the atomic bomb where closer to 1/4 of the civilian population was killed. It also supported a large war industry, manufacturing parts for planes and boats, for bombs, rifles, and handguns.

By WWII’s low standards that was very much a military target. In comparison Japan tried using unguided balloons to bomb the US which while completely ineffective targeted everyone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fu-Go_balloon_bomb

I think it makes most sense to look at the "I've used it, wouldn't use it again" rather than "I haven't used it, not interested in using it". Those breakdowns are quite revealing in fact for both React and Vue.

That only had the intended effect because you constrasted it against handshaking. It wouldn't work if you didn't touch anyone.
I got an old Bang & Olufsen Beovision 1 CRT TV for free.
I use it at a cottage just because I assume no one will break a window to steal a CRT TV, especially one that weights 38 kg (84 pounds) not counting the motorised steel floor stand. I found a set-top box with digital reception and USB input that also had a SCART connector.

I knew the sound would be good.

But I was surprised how great the image is. It just look good from all angles and in all condition, when it gets a good input. And I do not notice the lower resolution much.

I am sure a modern B&O is better. But they cost from $6,675 (the B&O Harmony from $18,250)
A used Beovision 1 can be bought for $30.

I used to use Firefox and I'd love to use it again on both desktop and mobile, but it's just so slow, memory-hungry and crashy compared to Chrome.

For example, I work on a wasm project in my spare time and it loads in a few seconds in Chrome. It does so, too, in Firefox, but just the first time. Reloading the page causes Firefox to leak a ton of memory and compiling my wasm suddenly takes dozens of seconds before crashing. And this is just a random anecdote, of course, but it's one of many over the years.

The job market is on fire. Devs are in crazy high demand, and everyone is looking for Seniors+. My advice would be round out your profile on LinkedIn if you're looking for middling Senior level jobs, and you'll get bombarded by recruiters. If you're looking for startups, niche, founding engineer gigs, AngelList is a solid resource.

If you're not in a hurry to leave your current position I'd recommend pushing back against leetcode/hackerrank/algo code challenges in interviews and only take interviews with companies that have an out-of-the-broken-box interview process. I've found the best companies are the ones that don't follow the FAANG interview methodology.
Interesting. Which route did you decide to take?

I do have a therapist. I've resolved many of my issues and I'm working on the other ones. However, choosing CS is a legacy of bad decision making in the past (I was terrible at some aspects of emotional intelligence, such as the very complicated, obscure art of knowing how I feel), so now I have to deal with the consequences.

That's a very uplifting story, though. I'll need to put out a thesis topic within the year, and the past months I've been thinking of making it about accessibility in tech. I know several people who have struggles with how tech is usually made for abled people and features for the disabled are marketed as luxuries for the abled. I was going to put off looking up this topic for the thesis proposal period, but it might be worth a google or two in my spare time.
My quick notes on music theory: https://calebmadrigal.com/music-theory-notes/
The grandparent's assertion was in the general case, not specific cases. However, even for your specific cases, it is possible - even likely - to at some point handle user-facing text (i.e. text that is reasonable to localize), at the very least in the form of error messages. Also, the complexity of Unicode is typically already well implemented by default in most environments, and the real issue only comes at the intersection of user-facing text and functional strings (e.g. URLs and filenames), which is a problem that Unicode is another tool to exploit, but not a problem that Unicode invented. We have been trying to detangle the dual nature of URLs/filenames for a long time.

However, tangential to the grandparent's topic, I do imagine there are very specialized cases where Unicode is pretty objectively unnecessary.
> While widespread strategies to recover from mental exhaustion (i.e., watching TV) are non-effective,

I worked for a startup from 2015 to 2017.

During that time I'd sometimes work 10-14 hours for 2-3 days in a row.

When I was tired after lunch I'd just tell my colleagues I was tired and would take a gaming break and then go play 1 or 2 maps of CS:GO in casual mode before working 5-7 hours more after the brain fog had lifted. It actually worked very well back then.

Not exactly the same as TV since was very active and not relaxing but I feel it was worth mentioning since to counter the idea that only physical exercise can work.

Later I figured out that if I just drop breakfast I don't get hit by brain fog after lunch. This is funny since every health specialist have always told how important a correct
breakfast is to stay sharp during the day.

During the pandemic I tried this again but stopped it since now it seems 20 minutes of gaming just wastes 40 minutes of my day. There are some obvious between now and then but I have no clear idea which of them are responsible for why it worked back then but not now. (During the pandemic I worked from home, I also don't eat breakfast mot days and I am older now.)
I don't believe so, because pretty much all of the household-name software companies are VC-backed and worker coops are not equity-based so they don't get VC backing; as such, they tend to be SMEs. I've known a couple of people who founded worker coops though.

There's a list of coops here that I just found: https://github.com/hng/tech-coops

> When jazz music appeared, there were no conservatories or theory for it. The first jazz conservatories emerged fifty years later.

Yes, to study the tropes and patterns of theory applied by the great jazz musicians, who certainly knew what they were doing with theory, even if "the theory of jazz" didn't exist. You don't have to know "jazz theory" in order to use theory to create a new genre of music that became known as "jazz". There were a community of performing musicians who had at least some formal theory knowledge (if not to a rigorous Berklee standard), who shared ideas and patterns and tropes, which eventually became a recognised genre, and later on an academic field of study.

It's funny, because out of all the niche subgenres of music out there today, jazz is almost certainly one of the most "theory influenced" genres of the last century.
