Music theory, at an advanced level, is no more about rules than physics is. It's descriptive, not prescriptive. It's about why, acoustically and psycho-acoustically, certain practices result in the sounds they do and why we perceive sounds the way we do.

What rich or successful musicians do has as much to do with music theory as what rich race car drivers do has to do with physics - the car is the result of generations of the study of physics, but the driver only needs to know how they bits they interact with work.

The fact that the vast majority of players have no idea how the intervals of 12th root of two to the 4th power, or 5/4, became a Major 3rd (ET and JT respectively) is irrelevant to a discussion of theory. I could teach a semester long course on how we arrived at our current notes on the piano keyboard, but lots of A-list piano players don't know any of that. A physicist is the equivalent of a music theorist, not of a musician, as music theory is largely applied physics and geometry applied towards acoustics.
A while back I was working on a logistics follow-up system at a call center.
The system would fetch the logistics data from the different logistics partners and chew on it for a while, trying to determine which ones were "delayed", and burp out "events" that humans would see and act on. Usually by calling or e-mailing the customer to tell them there would be a slight delay, and giving a reason why. In the rare event the customer called the call center first, they could look up the logistics and tell the customer exactly what was going on with their repair or exchange or whatever.

All in all it was a fun little system to work on, and I enjoyed it a lot. What made it worth doing, even though it was a giant corporation's call center, was that my (shared) office was right next to the actual team actually working with the tool. I smoked cigarettes at the time, so it was not uncommon for me to take little smoke breaks with the actual users. At first they were hesitant to try and push "work questions" on me during my break, but I assured them that it was fine.

They'd bring up those tiny little things that never get fixed in systems like this. NDA prevents me from going into any kind of detail, but it was little stuff like Olaf's New Menu Item. Working that closely with the Actual Users was very liberating, and I think it alleviated a lot of their frustrations to have developer access, too.

That said, this team was maybe 50 people. When this "preemptive logistics issue team" model was rolled out world-wide, I had already left the organization for entirely unrelated reasons, and I don't think I would have given all those people direct access to me on my breaks like that.

It works well, at certain scales, though!

On the former, you are correct, my bad wording. On the latter, I would suggest they probably reached a last-minute deal with VISA rather than blinking of their own accord.

Barclays and (IIRC) HSBC. Barclays still do[1], the only pre-requisite being you hold a GBP account with them too.

There's also Starling these days, of course.

Citibank was a great place to get one too, but then they introduced account minimums to keep the unwashed masses out.

During the previous six years, it struck me as completely bizarre that there was any pushback for bringing manufacturing or energy production back locally. It doesn’t have to be nationalist, it’s just adding redundancy in case your trading partner realizes they have over powered leverage. No business wants to concede to a vendor that they are irreplaceable.

Edit: Likewise, watching Germany dismantle its nuclear infrastructure over the last several decades for… what reason exactly? Replacing a clean, cheap, on-demand energy source for dependence on foreign energy imports? Even if you think global trade is panacea, why throw out working critical infrastructure and replace it with something beyond control?

I think many frequent users of HN should really consider this more. I'm glad you are enjoying Vue but it's also your kids 3rd birthday and your dad's 68th and neither of those things hit you as hard as transpiling some js? Priorities are lost in the hustle culture that silicon valley built and you are punished for not doing it constantly. It's toxic and we need to do better, there are more important things than a computer.
My next PC build will be SFF, too. I've currently got a small-ish desktop, but want more space on my actual desk, and don't want to move it off because I'd have to deal with variable cable lengths(sit-stand desk).

Going down to mini-ITX motherboard size means I'm going to probably be low on ports and expansion options, so having a dock will be an important part of the setup, and will also help reduce cable clutter/cable shuffling.

One other thing I might look into is an audio switcher. I don't have an 'audio stack', but usually can't stand the electric whine on most basic onboard audio. If I can keep my headphones on, and just flip a switch to change the channel they receive from, I'd be thrilled.
I think that you severely underestimate the pushback against the woke crusade that is building. The fact that you think anyone who isn't woke is racist, shows your ignorance in the matter.

And you can do that in theory, but in practice it ends up like this:

- you want to use lang-x.y.z, so you'll just reference an old commit

- turns out that version was never packaged, so you copy x.y.z-1 to your flake/overlay

- you end up patching the build because it doesn't work by default with new environments

- on the other hand a module you're using needs the new environment so you do your best to make everything happy - more overlaying

- because you changed something crucial in a few steps, you're compiling llvm 20 times through this process and now it's 1am

Compare that to putting "rust 1.59" in your .tool-version and running "asdf install". Guess who tried to use 3 specific versions of rust at the same time recently and got very familiar with the process...

(That's also ignoring the issue like Ruby being packaged without the platform identifier in nix which makes it unusable for some development purposes)
Try this:
1. Bring up command palette using `Ctrl+Shift+p`
2. Search and select "Python: Select Interpreter"
3. Select your Python environment.

This works in VSCode over SSH perfectly fine - the locally running VSCode is able to detect and select Python environments in the remote server.
I did the same thing 10 years ago. I probably spent about 9 months full time building a game on a custom OpenGL engine, but at that point I realized how many systems I was still missing (for example animation, more advanced effects and shaders, etc).

But as of recently I'm now doing game development again, but this time using Unity. I've learned that game development is really hard, geometrically more so than a random business application or tool, and you have to use all/any tools that are available to you.
> [...] prevalent in game development, as opposed to (for example) web development [...]

Everybody made their own framework before some of those became popular. And people are constantly producing new frameworks. Because it always will be more entertaining and meaningful for someone to build a framework/engine that feels good than yet another app/game.

Not to mention many compiled to js languages made by and for webdevelopers.
> Truth is that people largely place trust in institutions and people they are used to and identify with, often for irrational reasons.

Is it really so irrational? How many people have the technical know-how and access to equipment to personally verify that COVID vaccines are safe for human consumption? (Can you even verify that on your short of running mass human trials?) And yet, by and large, most of us are not conspiracy theorists who wonder if the vaccine will secretly kill us or render us infertile.

There are often good reasons to trust the official narrative. There are often good reasons to distrust it too, but placing trust in people and institutions is often not so irrational.
I definitely understand your take, it is definitely an unusual mixture of hard near sci fi concepts and pulp sci fi 'drama'. I personally enjoyed it immensely but can definitely understand why someone would not.

Most of my memories of SGI machines from the 1990s are not so good. As I remember SGI seemed to value looks and performance on paper to "it works".

There was the professor who bought an SGI machine but didn't put enough RAM in it, plugged it into the AC power and Ethernet, couldn't do anything with it, and left it plugged in for a few years with no root password.

There was the demo I attended up at Syracuse where a pair of identical twins from eastern Europe were supposed to show off something but couldn't get it to work, Geoffrey Fox's conclusion was "never buy a gigabyte of cheap RAM" back when a gigabyte was a lot.

When SGI came out with a filesystem for Linux I could never shake the perception that it would be a machine for incinerating your files.
You have a strange bias against Linux. I've convinced many non tech people to install Ubuntu and Mint without trouble. My grandma literally uses Fedora that I installed for her. During all these installations, it just worked; there was no driver issue to fix on any machine. In my experience talking to others, going from windows to OSX is infinitely more jarring than going to Linux (Cinnamon). I also think you're overestimating how many people need proprietary Windows software, by a lot.

If you're stuck on Windows, that sucks, but switching OS is the only solution to a hostile OS. You can tweak Windows however you want; it is still going to push updates that ignore your wishes and annoy you. We shouldn't stop recommending the best solution because you personally can't switch.
> Talking about population control and low-education immigrants isn't definitive but it certainly smells bad.

If you want unbounded human population growth and unbounded immigration, that smells pretty bad, just not to you.

> I'm not against that, if it can be done in such a way where everybody gets what they want. I'm only really against hording of resources to the detriment of others

Then this is the closest point we have to common ground. I don't want to force anyone to live in the countryside, and in fact I would rather nobody did so I could live there alone, but I want people to have the option to, just like you want people to have the option to live in cities. However there's a limit to how much livable space we have and that means we can't just keep expanding cities forever. We do differ though on our view of property, it seems. Where you seem to view resources as inherently collective, I see property as a human right and reject the premise that we should take from those with plenty just because others have little. I'm all for taxes though,

> we just have to do it sustainably so the biosphere doesn't collapse.

IMO, that inherently means keeping urban development and population growth contained. I think the evidence speaks for itself: just look at how many animal species have died, how many biospheres have already collapsed, how much pollution and other climate damage has been done, just in the past century, when many countries were still developing and the population was much smaller. Now you're suggesting that with the current population continuing to grow freely, and urban development continuing freely, we'll somehow manage to both ensure everyone can live according to their preferred lifestyle and preserve nature? Sorry, but I think that's fantastically utopian. At the end of the day there's nothing I can do about it, but I do wish we were heading a different direction.
This. Docker not only solves the language-specific venv problem, but also encapsulates other system-level dependencies that may not be covered by stuff like pyenv or nvm. Plus with docker-compose you can trivially satisfy other, way more complicated dependencies like "fully functional PostgreSQL DB is accessible over the network", and you can deploy the entire thing to production with a few simple commands.
The question would be a lot easier to resolve if the major MAGA thought leaders would stop making excuses for genocide. Anecdotally, my dad is MAGA-leaning right, and while he opposes the invasion and is happy to see the Russian army destroyed, his immediate response when I brought up the mass graves was “how much of that is propaganda though?”. Skepticism about what we are told about a war is always warranted, but right wing Americans are being actively persuaded right now to deny or doubt Russian war crimes despite overwhelming evidence.
Honest answer: Because they were following the rules up until that point.

To add on to this - a truism of the internet is that most people don't upload content. They only consume content produced by others.

It stands to reason, with the nontemporal algorithm behavior parent comment pointed out, that a vast amount of those consume-only users will not even notice the new content restriction.
"cares"

Except whenever they mention their concerns it's usually a) wrong b) not relevant or c) missing the context of how modern commerce works. Just as the issue with Stripe payments show.

Just ask around how many people think Brexit would mean less south-asians in the UK. Or ask them where does their food comes from.

There's a difference between "caring" about something and thinking they have the best solutions for that.
"Amazon UK" is actually Amazon Luxembourg. Visa wasn't picking on them, they were applying the standard cross-border tariff.
I am sorry for off-topic, but it i show this title to a normal person, they will conclude that our industry is a joke.
Nationalizing in the traditional sense is not the solution, indeed, but rather hold the platform up to the letter of the constitution. This right now is not exactly possible given that "twitter is a private company", therefore arguably if one puts it in the hands of the government, you have the double-edged sword of potentially being abused by the government, and on the other hand the solution i forementioned on holding it accountable given that it would become public under the law. However, just like with any other gov. institution, being held accountable is more often than not up to the people through their civic initiative and probably not something that the government will do out of interest. So in this regard in US it could work given the nature of the constitution, whereas in other countries Twitter would just become a propaganda machine (isn't it one already?).

>> someone decent that bought it to return it.

Knowingly purchasing something in order to return it is never a good idea. More often than not it is in fact a crime. "I was going to return it" is not a good defense once they cops catch you in possession of a stolen object.

One dark market is for known forgeries. Forged art, like counterfeit money, is illegal to own or sell. But some collectors want to collect forgeries. Some coin collectors enjoy fakes from legendary or uncaught master forgers more than they do legal coins. So there is a black market for such things. A 100$ bill is worth 100$. I wouldn't bother putting it in a frame. But a masterful fake 100$ is something very interesting imho. The fake can have a better story than the original.
> Big Tech company using censorship to avoid legal liability

Big Tech censors a bunch of stuff that there would have been zero legal risk in leaving up.
I finished reading Neuromancer a week ago. I'd played Cyberpunk 2077 recently, and Dystopia further back. So many of the concepts from those games appear to come directly from Neuromancer! I stumbled upon articles implying they were indirectly influenced; Neuromancer evidently created a whole genre!

Btw, compared to hard scifi like Stephenson (relevant comparison due to Snow Crash), Neuromacer isn't really there; its strengths are outstanding creativity, world-building, character development (including top-notch implied backstories), personal interactions, and artful descriptions.
> Creators of software can't anticipate every need, and similarly you can't exactly publish a data model ... and expect that to end well.

People don’t want to expose a schema and API, especially for programs like that, because at that instant all their decisions become frozen and turn into technical debt. Any change to the schema would break all the unknown little hacks written by customers.

I don’t think there’s a good long term fix
The "How" is removed automatically on HN, if I remember correctly. I never understood how that is helpful. Maybe it is to "disarm" Buzzfeed-like "How to ..." headlines, but more often than not it just creates (slightly) misleading titles.

So many people compare twitter to the national government (even Elon) and make the case that their censorship is akin to a violation of free speech. I would say they need a civics class more than anything.

But in terms of a nationalized social media network, I can't imagine it going well. The lack of innovation in the government would probably mean the site gets overwhelmed and taken down shortly after it was made.
It would have to be done on the same hidden low level register manipulation as current speculation already does. Instead of rolling back to the wrong branch and starting over you would just drop it and continue with the correct computation.

The issue would be if you have a slow (value load from memory) and a fast (cached value) branch, currently only the most often used one gets predicted, so if you always hit the fast branch the predictor will never touch the slow branch. I think if you evaluate both in parallel you end up having no way to avoid the penalties introduced by the slow path. Imagine having your CPU cache constantly invalidated by code that never "runs".
Elon is his one of his new bosses, I would take anything the CEO says with a grain of salt.
Without irony, you probably would have less censorship than should a private company own it. Is that a good thing? Not sure. Seems like spam would overtake it quickly.
Nuisance on public infrastructure - like loitering and littering, some trolling and all spam could become misdemeanors subject to enforcement. Twitter officers lol. Imagine joining the fbi and ending up manning the Twitter troll patrol.

I saw some of that happen too, but it wasn't appreciably different from other expensive Unix workstations in that respect. That is, while there were people getting actual value from them, there were also people buying them that didn't need them.
Reader view?

The reader view really highlights how short the article is, now that I'm looking at it.

I think tracking is letter spacing right? It is pretty rough. I think you can enforce fonts and at least in Firefox and Safari you can add custom CSS to help with that sort of thing. I don't think Chrome offers the same feature without an extension.
