I don't agree that anything beyond common practice harmony is necessary, although it can certainly be helpful.

Moreover, even common practice harmony doesn't include all the tools needed to analyze the harmony of the common practice period, but we get by. For example, in the first movement of the Symphony in G minor, K. 550, Mozart inverts the motive toward the end of the development section over a dominant pedal and harmonizes the initial lower chromatic neighbor of that three-note motive. So you get a fully-diminished 7th chord built on d that is immediately followed by a dominant seventh build on d. What do you call that fully-diminished 7th chord in Roman numeral analysis? Perhaps there's a standardized name or symbol for this now, but even if that's the case there wasn't always. But it didn't matter because you could trivially come up with something like calling it a "neighbor seventh" or some other such name and everyone would know what you are talking about because 18th- and 19th-century music was full of that chord progression.

Now look at, say, the opening to Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun. Debussy's solo flute solo holds a note over the ensemble playing the first chord of the piece-- a half-diminished 7th chord. This sounds similar to the beginning of the Tristan Prelude cellos when they hold a note over a half-diminished 7th chord. But unlike Wagner, Debussy has it resolve to a dominant seventh on the same root as the half-diminished seventh. (In fact, I'm not sure Wagner ever used that progression to resolve the Tristan chord throughout the entire opera.)

Just as we could talk about the function of that same chord progression in Mozart without a name for the "neighbor seventh," so too can we do it in Debussy. It just so happens there are a lot more harmonic shifts in the Debussy to talk about, so its more work, added to a discussion of the various allusions to Wagner and how they come off.

I guess having some common language for discussing the historical development of octatonicism would help in this case. Still, this was an experimental time in harmony with a lot of bespoke forms. I'm not sure how much a common extended toolset would add to any given piece. (Not to mention you had your Rachmaninoffs and others who are almost fully analyzable using Roman numeral analysis and tonal chromatic voice leading.)

Edit: clarification
I had not thought about it that way, but that is incredibly astute.
I really like the idea of a learning sub space!

Once the learning scaffolding is modelled, you can use that to build on top of it.

I wonder if the neocortex is the thing that we use together with the learning scaffolding.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a JSON5 file in the wild.

Something I’ve really loved is running NoScript! in Firefox… but I won’t pretend at all it is even remotely appropriate for non-programmers. You really need to understand JS and web design to still have functioning websites.

Well, this sounds like it was before ANSI C, so there was no defined notion of undefined behaviour - I think that term of art came with the later standardisations. And if it was written to run on a specific OS or compiler (4BSD), one can argue that it was a really bad design, but it worked reliably on what was essentially the implementation-defined platform it was targeting.
I’m talking about keeping Asians in the fold long term, in a party where the folks who think the SATs are racist and what to defund the police and think corporate boards should have quotas are, even if not yet dominant, ascendant.

College educated Asians aren’t similarly situated to college educated whites. Progressivism gives white democrats a vehicle for using institutions to advance their cultural values. Asians meanwhile are on the receiving end of that. When an Asian writes a diversity or hardship essay, they are appealing to white peoples’ views of what that means.

Progressives adopting an offensive posture on cultural issues—where they not only want to keep Christian evangelism out of schools, but want to teach Asian kids what Judith Butler thinks about the nature of humans—and republicans learning to frame cultural issues in non-religious terms (like Youngkin) change the script on that.

>clearly, in your examples some entity is thinking (and even makes decisions) about your internal chatter and must therefore be more than just pure consciousness. Or is it just an additional layer of chatter?

Doesn't have to be either. A part can watch the whole (even itself perhaps). Like our head+eyes+brain can examine our whole body in a mirror (or just looking at our hands, legs, torso, and so on). If we had more movable eyes (like some animals) an eye could turn around and directly examine the other eye too...
Gaiman has publicly stated that he loves the actress as Death.

Someone then complained about disrespecting the artist and the model, and the artist responded he loved it too (the model has passed, but the artist, who was a close friend, said she would have loved it as well).

I did watch that clip from The Sound of Her Wings, and I thought she nailed the kindness aspect of Death. I do hope we'll also get some of fun, hopeful aspects too, but I haven't got t othose episodes yet.

Largely agree.

> Financial crimes deserve a financial penalty.

That's a very old aristocratic view of financial "wrong-doing", still persists somewhat these days because the idea that for "people with money" with a good reputation, being condemned in public and losing their good name is already a penalty big enough.

That's... let's just say this line of thinking should stay in the past.
I endorse getting away from as much news as possible. I made that choice after the 2016 US elections, and it has been a big, sustained improvement in my quality of life. I've found that if something is important, I'll hear about it from friends, family, or co-workers. Hearing about important things from people I trust is way better than hearing about them from news outlets trying their hardest to keep me hooked. Sometimes I get the bewildered, mouth-agape reaction of "you haven't heard of this???" but it took a surprisingly short amount of time to feel no embarrassment about being out of the loop and simply responding with, "nope! please tell me all about it."

Except he wasn't evading taxes, he was paying himself extra money that he deemed was justified but was not approved or made aware to the company. I don't know why people are defending Ghosn, I suspect with all that money, he was able to hire an internet marketing company to flood the comment section like they did on Reddit.

Still doesn't change the fact that Interpol has a red notice for Ghosn.

From throwaway side project to Switch in 2 years: my indie gamedev story
I mean, if you divorce it from the buzzwords like that, the question becomes trivial:

* will we at some point in the future be able to model biological processes on a computer better (even if only slightly) than we currently can, at some point in the future? Obviously yes

* will we fully solve biological systems so that we can model them in their entirety with 100% accuracy? Not in this lifetime and probably not in the next generation.

The question when phrased this way is basically asking (depending on interpretation) either: will we make any progress ever? or will we make all the progress?

That's not true. libjpeg-turbo is ~50 MB/s last I tried - plus it's not lossless. fjxl and fpnge are basically an order of magnitude faster than that. libjpeg-turbo isn't even the fastest jpeg codec - you should check out the (relatively obscure) libmango - roughly 1 gbps decode on a 2020 macbook pro - or nvJPEG for GPU-based JPEG decoding. Supposedly there's even faster GPU-based decoders than nvJPEG, too.
Yeah, the very best thing I could think of was start getting some actual work experience. Then you're coding all the time -- and getting paid for it. Learning on the job, making contacts at work. Maybe they'll even send your friend to tech conferences (for more learning and more networking).

Also, if your friend relocates there may be more educational opportunities. (There's also a bunch of stuff you can do online -- and some even offer certifications if not actual academic credit.)

The simplest advice is just to build up some "momentum" in your career, so what you're doing naturally leads into the next bigger thing. A job and/or really good classes, that sort of thing.

Better than Amazon, where you get nothing extra. And often do regular duties during on call as well. Kind of nuts.

The saving grace is a lot of teams aren’t really doing anything that critical, so the on call is more a formality bc that’s what real teams do. Still pointlessly stressful but less serious.

Whenever I need to use JSON in my projects I always check if I can use JSON5 instead. It really makes a difference to have a more user friendly format. My only gripe is when I use Python, the official JSON5 module is much, much slower than Python's JSON parser. I frequently end up translating the development JSON5 files to JSON files that go into the final runtime because of this.

Not a safe assumption. They tend to only invest effort into caching after getting blocked.

As a concretr example, this is a common big problem for NPM, and they have to resort to blocking IPs and/or CIDR ranges.

I don't think writing an article about hackernews comments from two years ago is exactly what I'd call a lesson in ignoring the haters, but this reads a little bit like someone writing an article about the roaring success of null references after their adoption.

despite popularity, most of the technical comments in that original thread aren't wrong. 'Popular', 'Easy to adopt' and 'a very bad idea' can be overlapping circles, in particular in the world of javascript and npm

Unless you are Mark Zuckerberg or employed by Facebook or Reddit, I question the veracity of this statement.

Your world will not end if you delete your social media accounts. You probably won’t even reduce your income.

Social media is invested in you believing that you simply must be on it for your business to survive. This is a lie.
There were quite a few Demons in the show tho playing mostly minor roles.

I was actually surprised they didn’t changed it even further considering how it conflicts with Fox/Netflix’s Lucifer which according to the blogosphere departs quite a bit from the source material but it was quite a fun show, and despite things getting a bit old at some point especially when it moved away from its monster of the week format it’s clear that the entire production and cast loved working on it which is why it constantly got extended.

I don't disagree with anything you said, but I think it's important to point out that your experience is unique in that you're talking about build infrastructure for a massive codebase: most of Google's internal stuff, right?

In my experience plain GNU Make works great until you start working with massive projects. Similarly, the ninja speed improvement: you just don't see it unless you have a truly massive project, or you're using low-quality Makefiles, like what CMake produces. I've measured; I can't see it. I have many medium-sized projects, all with simple Makefiles, and it works really really well. I'm pretty convinced at this point that this should be the way to go for most projects out there.

Sure it’s a natural instinct, but society as a whole views it as ethically, morally, and legally “wrong”. We don’t allow individual’s selfish motives to rule society in other areas.

Either way, the person I was responding to did not say it was a natural desire, they only said it was “not wrong”.

The #1 thing I think I wish to add, that I missed the first time around, is that I think a lack of standard batteries & chargers is a huge limitation that- if we dont see progress in ~3 years- needs legal action. The 1/3rd to 3kWh battery sizes in particular needs some standard sizes, standard charge/discharge practices. Everyone being beholden to their brand will keep prices artificially high & reduce practical adoptability. Scooters, mowers, backpack leaf blowers should all have some common-norm pack-sizes available for use.
Death is the most faithfully adapted character in the whole show, so if someone's complaining about that, they're telling on themselves. They nailed Death.

I was pleasantly surprised by that; there's a (somewhat well-regarded) audiobook adaptation of the books, with James McAvoy as Morpheus and Kat Dennings (the older daughter in 40 Year Old Virgin, and, by appearances, a straight-out-of-central-casting choice for Death), and Death does not work at all in it.

>>one of the world's richest and most powerful people, the sort of person who does not (cannot) arrive at his station in life without being a special type of ruthless sociopath

Many people who become extraordinarily successful owe their success to their integrity and competence, not to ruthlessness or sociopathy.

This is especially true in advanced economies which became advanced largely because of somewhat meritocatic hierarchies that do a decent job of incentivizing and rewarding socially beneficial behavior.
