Yeah, Rameau is the "Louie, Louie" French fellow who was the "Newton of Music" who gave us the Roman numeral notation, while the Germans were still doing counterpoint and harmonics.

I very seriously believe there's a link between that, the revolutionary attitudes and kinship of the French and Americans, with the Rock and Roll movement of the 1950s / 1960s.
Ask HN: Tutoring for SRE/DevOps?
I'm a self-taught learner who has been studying software engineering and systems administration for a few years now. I'd love to grow deeper in a one-on-one tutoring style, but this seems to be a limited market despite its proven effectiveness.

Does anyone know or have used a service to find tutors in these fields?
I have a more conservative critique of traditional music theory, along the same lines. Forget pop, jazz, and rock - standard music theory courses don't even equip students to properly analyze Western art from music the late romantic period, including things like impressionism. Most voice leading textbooks have very little material on post 1850-ish classical music, and some have essentially nothing. They seem to focus on Mozart, Beehoven, Haydn, etc., or aspects of later music amendable to the analytical tools they develop for those classical period composers.

Here's an exercise you can try. Choose a more harmonically adventurous French or Russian composer from around the turn of the 20th century (perhaps Debussy, Ravel, Scriabian, maybe even Shostakovitch), and get some sheet music for a solo piano piece off the internet. Grab any of the standard college harmony textbooks and attempt to write down a harmonic analysis of that piece. You're going to have trouble.
Then you understand your argument that your opinion coincides with settled law lends no credence one way or another to your argument. We have a simple difference of opinion, and the fact that government infringes on the ability to drive is not evidence that driving isn't a right is fact.
Not theoretical - has happened a handful of times (you may remember the "zombies rising from their graves" hoax): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_Alert_System#Cyberse...

These devices are trivially discoverable on shodan by searching various manufacturer and model names, often reporting Apache versions known to have serious vulnerabilities right in the http header. The names of the entities hosting them are often listed as radio and TV stations in the middle of nowhere, who probably don't have the best cybersecurity practices.

If basic cybersecurity practices aren't a mandatory part of EAS policy compliance - like, keeping things up to date, designing equipment not to report software component versions, keeping these devices off the Internet unless there is a compelling reason - that's probably the first thing the FCC can do to fix it. Radio and television broadcasters are all required to have functional EAS equipment that is tested in the field weekly and monthly. Running a 20-odd-year-old box without security updates actively maintained by the manufacturer should be considered as serious a policy violation as simply not plugging it in.

There are way too many assumptions in your post. Yes, you're right that I like GraphQL, but:

1) Nowhere in my comments did I say that's limited to negative comments. I think "GraphQL is good" is just as useful (meaning not at all).

2) "Criminals are bad" is not an invalid statement, and neither is "GraphQL is bad" or "GraphQL" is good. But if the purpose is to discuss criminality, and not just add noise to an ongoing discussion, it is also a useless statement. Imagine there's a debate panel going on, someone in the crowd stands up and says "criminals are bad!". Where does that lead the conversation?

3) "The plane is about to crash, please pull up" is an expression of fact, not an opinion, and not even something that warrants or is said in a discussion so I don't think the comparison makes sense. Either way, "GraphQL is bad" is an opinion, not a fact, and thus needs more context to be useful in a discussion.

I'm not going to acknowledge the last paragraph because I'm presuming good faith from you, and I'd rather not turn this discussion into speculation about other comments in this thread or why you're here.

That said, you're definitely right that I'm biased towards GraphQL, but I think we're having different discussions if you think we're discussing GraphQL's merits.

> If everyone could eat locally grown ethically sourced meat, there would be no need for veganism

Vegan = avoiding cruelty, suffering and exploitation as much as possible in a pragmatic way.

Veganism isn't a diet. It's a moral choice that people make, as they don't want to support an industry that's killing our biosphere and inflicting unnecessary cruelty - since in most parts of the world people don't need meat anymore to survive.

So your sentence doesn't really make sense. You'd probably want to replace veganism with 'pure plant-based diet'

Even if you raised a cow yourself - petted it everyday, cared for it, even played with it etc - how is it ethical to kill it to enjoy its flesh - if your survival doesn't depend on it?

Animals just like us don't want to die and they do everything to avoid pain.

No, I don’t care about the “collateral damage” to idiots in power, i.e. principals who ordered/asked for this, or school boards who required it. Part of being in power is making decisions and then dealing with the consequences of those decisions.

If you’re too fucking stupid to realize that installing persistent monitoring on a computer (which for the rest of this paragraph I’ll extremely begrudgingly grant might be “school property” and not discuss all the ways that a public institution doing this is Bad), WHICH FUCKING LIFTS DATA FROM EXTERNAL DEVICES (used by minors) without permission is a Really Bad Idea and might even result in you having illicit images, well… thems the consequences.

There is some problems with the common statement that "driving, as a matter of settled law, is not a right"

First off, as we have seen "settled law" is never really settled

Secondly, the common justification that it is a privilege and not a right is the fact you must pass a skills challenge to be licensed, and then it could be revoked if you abuse the "privilege", neither of which would be the case if were a "right"

But it is now "settled law" as you call it that the 2nd amendment is an indivual right, but in order to bear arms in many many states you must pass a skills challenge to be licensed, and then it could be revoked if you abuse the "privilege????"... so if logic on why driving is not a right holds then logically all licensing and regulation around gun ownership and carrying are de-facto unconstitutional

However if instead the public can put reasonable limits for public safety on both gun ownership and driving, both driving and gun ownership would be rights... as they should be considered.

Driving is a right because we have the right to travel, and government can only under very limited circumstances limit that right to travel.

If people's views have changed, they are not reflective in the ever so slight drop in these values.
In the past decade, Democrats tried to replace their working class white “blue wall” voters with immigrants and minorities. That gave rise to (1) an ugly and manipulative racial politics, seeking to unify unrelated “people of color” with oppression narratives, and (2) emboldened white progressives, who thought they wouldn’t have to moderate to keep Hispanics in Arizona in the fold the way they used to have to do for working class whites in Ohio.
Sure it does. The US government has correctly and as a matter of settled law determined that driving is not a right. Their decision to infringe on this non-right, if it can even be called infringement, is entirely a regulatory concern.
Plagality is a pretty deep musical concept within tonality, though -- you have to deeply grok counterpoint and tonal harmony first, and then you can start to hear and perceive different aspects of tonal gravity.

For plagality, it's the "dark side" of the tritone, specifically with iiø or iv6.

Start putting together that tritone with the major standards of vii° or V7, and you're really rolling with the joy of traditional harmony.
We use GraphQL at my current company, but it's a service that sits between the backend and the frontend and just munges together several different API requests from one. It's... I really hate it. The way we're using it, it simply adds a layer of opacity that makes debugging a client-server issue a giant PITA.

I've worked at a few companies that used GraphQL poorly. I've yet to see it done in a way that makes me think it's the right tool for the job. And I understand the benefit of allowing the client to choose what they want to get back.
As a long time FreeBSD user it makes me sad to see so many GNU/Linux users dismiss FreeBSD and it’s way of doing things. Jails? Pfft. We have docker. Since everyone else is using Docker, surely it must be the superior technology? And so on.
> basic stuff like wifi

Wi-fi is not basic.

Having written a wifi driver, that’s something I’m comfortable stating unequivocally.

The hardware is almost always proprietary and undocumented, and in many cases (looking at you, Broadcom), a poorly-designed shitshow of complex errata, proprietary magic numbers required for initialization, and in general, an absolute dogshit technology stack.

The only reason Linux has working Wi-Fi at all tends to be because it was used to power a lot of cheap consumer access points, and Wi-Fi chipset manufacturers released binary and open-source Linux drivers — generally of horrific quality, but drivers nonetheless.

Unfortunately in the US regulation is technology depended, so the specification might say 'how is your secondary steam loop secured', but of course a molten salt reactor doesn't have steam. You literally can't get approval for anything that is not a PWR. NuScale could kind of slip threw by still being a PWR.

NuScale still had some major challenges, one of the reason they had to pay so much is that they wanted 1 control room to control multiple nuclear reactors. That was partly paid for be the government as it will help others as well.

If you wanted to do anything other then PWR, you basically have to give them a huge amount of money and a design (couple 100M invested to get there) and then they will take a long time (on your cost) and then potentially develop a regulatory framework and then tell you what your design needs to add. So in practice you are gone be down billions and decades before you get something like a molten salt reactor threw approval.

That is why virtually all (at least non DoD) next generation reactors go to Canada to go threw initial deployment. Its hopped that once Canada approves an GenIV reactor other places might be easier to get threw. And thankfully the US is actually looking to Canada and they are considering cross licenses.
'Inflation is coming down – fast.'
Suggetsing countries like Afghanistan that have had difficulty maintaining basic infrastructure would have more difficulty safely maintaining more difficult infrastructure like nuclear power plants seems reasonable.

There is nothing racist about suggesting South Africa which is the only Africa country with nuclear power might have better odds than Sudan. Similarly Brazil has safely operated nuclear power plants for decades, but nuclear has faced real logistical issues in South America.
>The theory of epicycles is not an explanatory model because it does not explain why the planets should move in circular orbits with epicyclical sub-orbits. Kepler's laws are explanatory because they explain planetary motion as a result of Newton's law of universal gravitation, are predictive because they can be used to predict the motion of the planets and are explainable because anyone can plug in the numbers and see how the results are calculated.

That's not a qualitative difference, it's a quantitative difference. Here you somewhat implicitly claim that models of lower Kolmogorov complexity for same, or better, accuracy are better, but how is that 'explanatory'? The term has no meaning. Ironically Kepler's laws are a better equivalent of epicycles, because they reduce to an imperfect approximation of Newtonian mechanics. Predicting actual orbits in a Newtonian Solar system of perfectly spherical objects with fully known matter distribution can only be done with an iterative solution.

The actual, physical reality continuously diverges from all current models, and all we can try to achieve is to reduce that error. It can't ever be eliminated unless the universe is in fact a simulation, and whatever is controlling it decides to copy humans into the parent world, then gives them external access to the full underlying state.
and separated for much of that time. at some point the unique life experience of each side of the range renders them individual; it might be more proper to say they're descendants of the single original range.

On the other hand if we could convince them to get back together the shipping costs to Europe would plummet and that would be good for the economy.
You are describing it as if the developer writing the regex/cron has no prior involvement with the app, project, or company and is brought on to transcribe a specification from English to code and nothing else. In that situation an AI-driven translator app makes a lot of sense, but that doesn't match reality.

The software developer has a lot of context with the app and project that cannot be easily passed into the translator (whether AI or human). Going from that state of knowledge to the code by an intermediate, compressed, lossy, ambiguous step of natural language is necessarily inefficient. Whether that translator is operating at human level or not is not the point, going through English is the problem.
Yeah, but there wasn't an attack.

It’s not that you do a meaningful thing and then you’re done with life, it’s that since you have limited time, it’s a good reason to at least attempt finding something meaningful to pursue or accomplish.

When I’ve talked to longevity enthusiasts in the past I’ve never really gotten a good answer to “Why?” in a philosophical or even practical sense. It’s never “Outlive my enemies” or “Finish reading Gravity’s Rainbow”, it’s generally been “To avoid dying,” which to me is a pretty depressing proposition. It’s not for something, it’s running away from something, which is kind of the opposite of a search for a meaningful life.

> First off, as we have seen "settled law" is never really settled

Sure. I naturally await the day that any of our 50 beautiful states, much less the federal government, decides that driving is a fundamental right!

Insofar as law can be settled, the absence of a right to drive is settled.

> However if instead the public can put reasonable limits for public safety on both gun ownership and driving, both driving and gun ownership would be rights... as they should be considered.

This is affirming the consequent: the fact we put reasonable limits on a government-recognized right and a non-right does not imply that the non-right is somehow a right. The government puts limits on hunting on federal lands; that does not imply a right to hunt (either on those lands or at all).

You have a right to free movement. The government is not required to respect any particular instantiation of your movement as a pure right in itself. Put another way: you right to travel does not give you a free pass to fly a plane without licensing and safety training.

If you’re gonna get mad and quote a sentence to rail on the author, at the least quote the full sentence: the author ends it with “and there never will be.” Because among other things he’s talking about intrinsically disordered proteins[1]. What can the best prediction model do to predict the truly unpredictable? Just tell us that it’s unpredictable.

And what is your second criticism exactly? The author comes from the drug discovery industry. What the author said should be generalized to: even if we know the perfect experimentally confirmed 1A resolution structure of every protein out there tomorrow, that won’t exactly revolutionize drug discovery. That’s because protein structure gives maybe 10% of the context you need to successfully design a drug. It’s dynamics, higher order interaction specifics, complex interplay in signaling pathways in particular cells in particular contexts and what entire cells and organ systems in THAT PARTICULAR ORGANISM do when this protein is perturbed, are what truly affects drug discovery.

If you absolutely want to revolutionize DD, find us a better model to test things on that’s closer to the human body as a whole. Currently mice and rats are used and they’re not cutting it anymore.

This fundamentally goes back to the downfall of the prototypical math or software guy trying to come and say “im gonna cure cancer with MATH!” No you’re not.

I think Alphafold will be of immense value. The article is too pessimistic. Alphafold will reveal a huge number of structural parameters that can be exploited by careful synthetic chemistry. You can know what base pair to change and see if that changes or blocks function. Things like Paxlovid can be tweaked towards an optimum. It is an analog to the way the Rosetta stock unlocked a few ancient languages.
With this tool a huge number of testable structures will be amenable to tweaking, since we now have online ordering of almost any sequence. The tedious step will be the wet testing, but that has been solved by the multiple well test slides.We can now sequence and protein via dye/pore/emf methods. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanopore_sequencing

Automated, i.e constant monitoring, is slightly different than ad-hoc police enforcement, as drivers learn which lights are continually monitored will change behavior, in those locations. Just like known "speed traps" cause people to slow down, or if you use Waze you will slow down if police are reported on the app.

So I have no doubt that automated enforcement will change behavior, I still opposed automated enforcement on a number of grounds, privacy / constitutional / abuse concerns / etc.

Further I would have to look deeper into the implantation, but I know more than a few studies on Red Light cams have shown that while they will reduce intersection crashed, often then INCREASE rear end crashes as people slam on the breaks when the yellow comes on making the intersection not really "safer" it just changes the location of the wreck.
