Every major scale contains one note with each name (ABCDEFG). For example, Bb major is Bb, C, D, Eb, F, G, A.

If you start with C major (no sharps), and ascend in 5ths (G, D, A, etc.) then you add one sharp to the previous major scale to get the major scale starting on the new note. The added sharp each time is the 7th of the scale. So G major just has F#, D major adds also C#, A major adds also G# etc.

If you start with C major (no flats), and descend in 5ths (equivalently: ascend in 4ths) (F, Bb, Eb, etc.) then you add one flat to the previous major scale to get the major scale starting on the new note. The added flat each time is the 4th of the scale. So F major just has Bb, Bb major adds also Eb, Eb major adds also Ab etc.

Key signatures put the sharps or flats in this order.

The two meet in the middle:

F# major: F#, G#, A#, B, C#, D#, E# (key with 6 sharps)
Gb major: Gb, Ab, Bb, Cb, Db, Eb, F (key with 6 flats)

I.e. on the piano F# and Gb are the same key, G# and Ab are the same key etc.
>"Delphi has been dead though since about 2000"

It is and it is not. It is used in many industrial companies for example to write windows based desktop applications. I have couple of my own Windows based products that bring some money. Even though those are about 10 years old I keep them up to date with all new technologies that make sense and port to every new version of Delphi. This is actually very easy and does not require much time. There is also more than enough libraries and components to do just about anything. FFS I do interrupt based device control with the rate of 256 requests / s over USB.

Still for servers / NO GUI I very much prefer C++.

Can anyone recommend a slide rule?

I recently bought a vernier caliper and prefer it over digital and dial. I feel more connected with the measurements i make, hard to describe but I suspect the idea is similiar to some of the points the author makes about using a manual slide rule.

Few weeks ago I was watching a random video on YouTube published by matthias wendel and noticed the same vernier caliper sitting on the table in the background.
Yes, many things play into who is desirable but essentially physical characteristics, skin color whatever else society influences upon you as being desirable. More fortunate women do obviously have problem with jerks and some of them may have a preference even but the difference is that they have options that the less fortunate ones don't or at least not to the same extent.

The single black mother problem is illustrative of what I am trying to say here. (Not making any generalizations or making the case that they are unattractive but merely pointing out that number of complicated reasons including being perceived as less desirable contribute towards the overall problem.)
Not as of 2 months ago. It took days of crashing or hanging programs to get the photos off my wife's iPhone. I tried everything mentioned including Image Capture on a new MacBook, and the problems were at least as bad for me. I had to change the sleep settings on every device involved to multiple hours because a 30 minute hang was on the good side. In the end, what ended up working best was a full backup of the phone to a PC with iTunes, and extracting the photos out of the backup with iMazing.

For perspective.. I remember downloading and installing Linux off floppies. That sucked too, especially with bad disks or download errors, but it was less frustrating than this.

It seems like they don't improve it because iCloud seems like it works smoothly, and they get an on-going profit stream out of it. The process was so brutal I almost broke down and paid for a ton of iCloud storage.. but didn't because getting lots of photos out of iCloud is also painful.
The point quoted is a pretty lazy effort that simplifies "what men want" down to something that is highly incomplete and obviously inaccurate. I think a sarcastic reply is sometimes the best response to low-quality, reductive comments.
What advertisement are you talking about?
> Beeminder is obviously amazing, but it really "loses its sting" when you can't set a penalty higher than $25 (give or take -- I don't know what the current limit is).

Beeminder's model is a bit different, in that the payment amount keeps going up if you keep falling off track. The current upper amount you can pay is $7290 (as in once you hit $7290, it will keep charging you that amount).
I love the tightest lifestyle eating rice and 1-2 side dishes from street vendors who deserve the money rather than foreign investors to extract money from the economy like leeches.
>> Also, divorce sucks[1] when kids are involved, I don't think anyone on earth, left or right, would dispute that.

> Tons of people dispute this.

Divorce with children clearly does suck, statistically and practically. Those who dispute it are simply wrong, for whatever reason they wish to assert. That's obvious, with the data we have today.

[1] "sucks" is a fairly broad word, but graciously, it can be considered "not good".
This is the defeatist thinking that people get into when they can't solve things in a systematic way.
It is possible to move water to a higher elevation by means of a pump. The water can then flow down hill.

This is the same technology that is used to raise groundwater to the surface, and to distribute water from many reservoirs. It is in economic use today.

The aqueduct I mentioned, that which brings water from the Colorado river to Southern California, uses several pumps to raise the elevation of theaqueduct along its course.
I absolutely do not blame you. But I sure as heck am not drinking the "managers are passionate about helping people" Kool aid.
Yeah, I understand the term via Anthony Bourdain and his book Kitchen Confidential. I think his description of it also leads to some good software analogies:

Mise-en-place is the religion of all good line cooks. Do not fuck with a line cook’s ‘meez’ — meaning his setup, his carefully arranged supplies of sea salt, rough-cracked pepper, softened butter, cooking oil, wine, backups, and so on. As a cook, your station, and its condition, its state of readiness, is an extension of your nervous system... The universe is in order when your station is set up the way you like it: you know where to find everything with your eyes closed, everything you need during the course of the shift is at the ready at arm’s reach, your defenses are deployed. If you let your mise-en-place run down, get dirty and disorganized, you’ll quickly find yourself spinning in place and calling for backup. I worked with a chef who used to step behind the line to a dirty cook’s station in the middle of a rush to explain why the offending cook was falling behind. He’d press his palm down on the cutting board, which was littered with peppercorns, spattered sauce, bits of parsley, bread crumbs and the usual flotsam and jetsam that accumulates quickly on a station if not constantly wiped away with a moist side towel. “You see this?” he’d inquire, raising his palm so that the cook could see the bits of dirt and scraps sticking to his chef’s palm. “That’s what the inside of your head looks like now.”

One thing that makes software different than other jobs is that most of the space in which we work is what we ourselves have built in previous days. A messy codebase makes it hard to have a calm, clear presence. Which in turn leads to a messier codebase. There are whole projects, probably whole companies, where the inside of everybody's head looks like that.

So for me, a key part of developing is creating and projecting the sorts of work that over the long term enable that feeling of "the universe is in order". Indeed, you could write a history of software development in terms of how much progress we're making in that.
My parents no longer being married did nothing to me. Zero.

My parents trying to get me to hate the other parent caused severe damage and was entirely ineffective at its goal.

Not being able to spend much time with one of my parents, especially the one with the most life survival skills was bad. I had a relative that could have stood in, but they declined to really be there regularly.

An amicable divorce with some mitigation of the parenting structure would have turned out just fine. And, maybe part of that would have been achieved with an earlier divorce.
Thinking back on it, I never had a positive experience in terms of outcome. Positive experience in terms of interaction would have been the consolation prize.

Pulling over more people for expired tags and other pretext stops is hardly what we needed more of. I once had an officer decline to take a copy of video of my vehicle being stolen since he said it wasn’t going to be investigated anyway. How does a department like that still have time to hand out turn signal tickets, and pop people for going 10 over at the bottom of a hill?

Everstage secures $13 Mn in Series A round
That 2% consists of people like my teenagers, both of which cannot afford housing and medical coverage by themselves and as Dad, I'm personally quite well acquainted with how they get financial assistance (LOL).

And no, McD does not pay $10/hr, I live in a low cost of living area away from the coasts and the sign on the door opposite my grocery store lists $15/hr right next to the sign that they're cutting hours due to lack of employees. On the coasts I'm sure its higher although cost of living is probably higher.
Hm, wasn't that always acceptable and common? The only difference today is that there's a shorthand to mock those people.
Le Commandant Charcot – an icebreaking cruise ship that goes to the North Pole
The implication of "liberal values = high divorce. Conservative values = low divorce" might make sense intuitively (as one group claims to put more shame on it than the other), but until it is backed with data it is just "an impression".

Here's my 2 minutes attempt:

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/marriage-divorce.htm#state_tab...

I have sorted that list several ways (rate of divorce in 2000, in 1990 and average). Of the top five (Nevada, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Idaho) only Wyoming voted Democrat in 2020. The lowest five (Pennsylvania, Iowa, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusets) Iowa and Louisiana voted Republican, the rest voted Democrat.

That seems to go against the "intuition" that divorce is less prevalent amongst conservatives.

The list also seems to show a steady general decline across all of the states in divorce rates between 1990 and now.
I feel the same. I am an übergeek, but I see no reason to pay for more than 100Mbit/sec, but 1Gbit and (soon'ish) 10Gbit will be available. Where I live, 100Mbit/sec is laughably cheap. I get a sales call once per month: "100Mit/sec is so slow! Would you like a upgrade?" I have no use for it. That said, I view myself as the exception to the rule. Please don't read this post as "1Gbit+ is useless" -- only that I don't have a use.

Real question: If you are an Internet gamer, I assume that latency per packet is lower for 1Gbit+ connections, so it is useful for many customers.

More: I feel the same about monitor resolutions above 4K. Anything above 4K on a 27inch monitor makes no sense for my body size / sitting height. I cannot use a vertical monitor taller than 27inch, and above 4K is too small for my aging eyesight! Again: I am sure there are many interesting applications for 4K+ and 27inch+. I hereby wish good luck to all the whippersnappers who will prove me wrong with interesting applications of 4K+ and 27inch+!

Divorce is a legal proceeding. The Government is ipso facto involved, and even more so when kids enter the picture since otherwise there would be no one to stand for their interest.

Regardless of your opinion of the "subversive" nature of such a word problem, it becomes exceedingly clear that the bill is about more than "presentations about sex (straight or otherwise) to a classroom of 5-10 year olds", as the parent claims.
Why would you grind out something you found you don't want to do? Or on another note, if something really should get done, I think their argument is that this sort of crutch makes you lose the muscle of "just do it and get on with it".

Mozilla, as in the foundation, is broader than the browser and that blog has been running since 2007 with plenty of privacy focused content on it. The point of Mozilla has always been to advocate for an open internet rather than a corporate one, so I don't see the change in objective here. Firefox is one means to that end. Not sure why "marketing", "political" or "activist" are supposed to be negatives.

Quite like this argument - ie it brings up some new points for me that I haven’t considered yet.

To just provide a counterpoint to your anecdote (obviously, also nothing but another anecdote): of our team of 30 almost all came back to the office several days a week (despite it being fully optional and also management choosing various models). I think it is very much driven by the fact that the team just had a really enjoyable team spirit prior to WFH plus it is a pretty diverse team (esp. age and gender wise) which also brings up a wide variety of reasons for people opting for / against WFH
My question for plastic recycling is: if it's so difficult to recycle why not just landfill it? It can't create microplastics, harm wildlife, or float around in the ocean if it's buried inland under feet of dirt.

In classical chess / long time control games, thinking slowly can actually be an advantage. By that I mean a patient player who is able to effectively use the full two hours allotted to them will usually win in amateur tournaments over a "faster" player who leaves a lot of time on the clock and doesn't think as deeply on certain moves. Matching your play to the clock is an important skill for players competing in multiple different time controls.
Interesting, thanks for the explanation. Was this "we must adapt or die" a distasteful rhetoric or political blunder that angered some people for no reason or was a justification for some of his plans? I generally think people are mostly aware of the deltas in their living conditions, so it seemed interesting to me that people are still looking for a radical change even things are getting objectively better. Hope you guys don't fuck around and find out :)
It's good but uBlock can do it on its own if you already use it.
Rather, the thing that makes the most sense is for countries to rely exclusively on local power generation, and completely eliminate their reliance on other countries for energy. There is no infrastructure more fundamental than energy, because energy underlies all other infrastructure. Swapping out oil or coal or gas for liquefied hydrogen (or enormous intercontinental power lines) just trades one poor situation for another. Don't rely on any energy that you couldn't immediately switch over to providing yourself, even if it means paying an eye-watering premium.
> Rejecting all cookies would be disastrous.

Making the browser not support cookies at all exists, is trivial, and has nothing to do with not opting into consent walls. Virtually nobody uses such extensions because

> You wouldn't be able to log in to any website

Rather, it's about interacting with these consent walls in an automatic manner to block the tracking cookies that aren't necessary for the website to function. You know, the part that needs consent.

But so long as the general public, heck, even techies continue to believe that antiquated lawmakers had no idea what the heck they were talking about when they made all cookies require opt-in (spoiler: that's not what it says), I guess we'll continue to accept consent walls because there is no critical mass to oppose sites that employ them.
This all depends how much product are you expected to produce. Your "don't chop things beforehand" works if you're cooking for 1 or 2, but if you need to cook for 4+ you absolutely need to plan your steps and prepare your ingredients so that you merely combine them. This is evermore important if you want to have some sufficiently consistent level of quality, which I suppose is implied.

Can you elaborate on the workflow you use where this is a incompetence-defining issue? I'm trying to understand but it just doesn't seem like a reasonable workflow - the only thing I can come up with is that you use the current timeline preview point as your desired edit location and then move a clip back and forth until you find the frame you want to cut? Wouldn't it be easier to scrub through the clip to the point in the video you want to edit and then use the mark in/out points or just cut the video?

I know everyone has their own editing style, but calling the editor incompetent because of this weird workflow issue seems a bit much to me.
Easy mode is different. The goal is essentially to get as many 3s as possible while minimizing number of 5s. With any skill, actually losing will be almost impossible
Yes, and none of them perform as well as Resolve just because they are much worse at offload heavy work to the GPU. Resolve is really revolutionizing the amount of video editing work at the GPU level.

Premiere can barely handle 4K footage (without having to resolve to using proxies) without stutter, even on powerful hardware.

By the way, DaVinci has always been focused on integrating well with powerful hardware, and they have been relatively unique with this position. Going all the way back to when it used to use InfiniBand for doing parallel processing.
Civil rights for gay people and black people were criticized "artificially engineering society". As were voting rights for women or access to birth control. Subservient roles for women and labor roles for black people were seen as "natural." I think you'd be absolutely crazy to consider rights for these populations to have led to a "less just and less fair society."

There is no such thing as natural society. Society is constructed by humans.

There isn't anything wrong with diversification, and this might even be a good idea.

I'm just commenting upon the likely motivations are primarily domestic politics and geopolitics given its pretty obvious that you could achieve similar results by doing this with onshore wind and solar installations in southern Spain with lower technical and cost requirements.

Its definitely true that outside of the EU we are going to be treated differently than if we were EU members. EU members will always come first, and geopolitical spats with say Spain over Gibraltar or France over fishing that would otherwise get mediated via the EU could now be higher risk in future.
I can't remember the last time I used an office restroom.
I mean the EU can force websites to do whatever. That includes implementing a feature. As we saw with cookie consent law and GDPR. And as we're going to see with interop requirements for chat apps.

And the DNT header can be used exactly for that.
