- xeharmonic wiki: https://en.xen.wiki/w/Main_Page

- xenharmonic playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1OcPPq0ohnUarvDCERaxaR?si=...

- Tolgahan Çoğulu and his awesome microtonal guitar creations: https://youtu.be/iRsSjh5TTqI

Some bands with more "approachable" sounds (vs the xenharmonic playlist, which gets spicy) known for microtonal work:

Psychedelic rock:

- King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard (namely albums Flying Microtonal Banana, KG, LW)

- Altin Gün

- Gaye su Akyol

Classic blues rock (Led Zeppelin and the like, but also OG blues like Robert Johnson, that's another rabbit hole) also has a surprising amount of off-12Tet notes, because of the blues scale

In the electronic realm, Aphex Twin does some interesting stuff with microtones

- Jacob Collier - musical prodigy, mostly a capella/vocal arranging, but is a genre polymath, does some incredible stuff with just harmony

If anyone has anything to add, please do! I can't get enough of this stuff
Different perspective, more about individual enablement vs company risk:

- Share info that enables independent decision making and actions so your team can help recruit new teammates, sell to customers, choose designs, and at a personal level, make personal financial decisions. If not, you're hobbling your team, who are your main shot at success. Just be clear that info is internal.

- Level anything forward looking, good or bad. Relatively few people understand that good sales requires significant loss rates, what a slog fundraising typically is, etc, so when some big lead doesn't convert or a process takes awhile, bigger issue is avoiding unnecessary heartache & whiplash. So share progress good & bad, but always level it. Partnerships, key hires, leads, VCs, talks, releases: celebrate real wins and analyze losses, but it's a marathon, so don't pump people up too much on the barrage of things outside of your control. The sharing is mostly dependent on the experience of the individual receiver.

Perhaps because the lack of CMYK, the limited architecture for plugin, or the outdated UI have more to do than the name?

If the name was the real bottleneck for adoption, you can be sure that you'd see someone creating a fork with different branding and being widely successful. Oh, wait. It has been tried already! [0]

The best way to ensure your employees wont be honest or transparent with you is to not be honest or transparent with them.

Or maybe to put it a bit more harshly: You're not important enough to be hiding details

Be open, honest, and realistic. Say what you hope will come to be as a result of your actions. Be clear when things aren't set in stone.

Be transparent so that they can all work towards the same goals. If you keep them in the dark, they wont have any intuition on how to take initiative. Let positive results pump them up.
> Science is not a replacement for religion because science is not a moral code. It can tell you how something can be done, but not what is right or wrong to do. Attempts to develop such moral codes by reasoning from first principles turns out to be incredibly difficult and can easily lead to degenerate conclusions.

I have not seen any proof of that. Neither did I see proof that only religion can give you the correct moral code. As I mentioned a few times: given that there a several disagreeing religions they can't be all right. So it's not the fact that something is a religion that gives a correct moral code.

Even if something is difficult, it does not mean that I instead resort to making up some stories and declare that's the right moral code.

> In another comment you ask what scientism is. We can define it as an attempt to turn science into religion. It retains the surface look and feel of science, but isn't science. HN has a lot of people who follow scientism - you can find them getting frustrated on any story about science asking why other people can't just Believe The Scientists like they do.

Well if that were the definition of scientism then I wouldn't subscribe to scientism. That would sound pretty much like the opposite of science and an attempt to subvert and abuse it.

Good comments.

Non-repetition is a style rule that can be broken sometimes and have even more impact.

Speaking of repetition: patent claims have very strict rules about this;

"A packet, comprised of a TCP header and data" -- first use

"The packet" -- all subsequent uses

Everyone who reads claims, when they see "the packet" look to previous claims to find the antecedent basis of "packet." It's always assumed that you introduced the packet earlier. Obviously you must not use a synonym for it.
This seems great, also in performance, but why would you use this over making plain file copy-based backups, since SQLite is single file based? I'd assume this solution might be preferable because it saves deltas instead of absolute, but the Readme does not say so. If the main advantage here is on-the-fly selecting from different versions, granted, that is unique, even though I cannot really imagine a production use case for this.

So far, I have been using file copies and GFS backup scheme based solutions like Borg, which also does deltas in chunks, compression, and encryption. Perhaps with Borg one should better even backup SQL dumps instead of db files, I don't know.

It depends also on case by case basis, however long COVID is diagnosed in some patients with/as vaccination side effect. Even if it might be possible that these can be clearly differentiated, it's not done. It is also not that clearly defined and therefore overlaps with some other syndroms like fibromyalgia, which might be a confounding factor as well.
They've already stated it's going to have a pretty robust website with good search engine to filter through their test results and blog posts. Then they'll take certain tests and make videos on top of that for the main channel, otherwise they'll be pretty independent business units.
Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/863

Honestly I would drop the ego that fuels this mindset and make an inventory of the topics you've actually pursued in life so far. That can be a good indication of the things you truly find valuable, and it can lead to uncomfortable realizations.
I'm not sure it's the role of the article to provide you with every detail to judge if it's feasible.
Back in college, I wanted this too. I triple majored in CS, biology, and chemistry. But when I looked at the impact I wanted to have and the resources I wanted at my disposal and compared them to an academic lifestyle, I saw a pretty glaring disparity.

The best way to actually command subjects is to work on them. Spend some time at companies doing the things you want - preferably in high paying jobs - and then start something on your own where you have to wear all the hats and submerge yourself in the technical details.

It's not as deep as academia, but it's certainly broad. This tactic might be what you're looking for.

And if you get exceedingly lucky, you might wind up with the capital and stumble upon the kind of unexplored areas ripe for growth that Elon Musk did. That's probably the ideal scenario - you get to work on incredibly interesting subject matters through hiring the best talent in the world. Use your team as a high level search and filter algorithm, and be present to learn and enjoy the process.

I'm nowhere near as successful but have employed people to do exactly that. It's not a bad alternative.
Somewhat off topic, but I bet someone on HN that stumbles here will have relevant experience.

Is OpenSearch Dashboards (their Kibana fork) any good/is AWS being a good steward and moving it forward?

I ask because I’m in the process of updating some AWS infra in an org that uses Kibana. Our version is quite old and I’d like to upgrade both it & the ES storage layer to use newer APM features, etc.

I sympathize with Elastic’s position & their licensing change but as pragmatically I’d like to use an OpenSearch cluster and not be responsible for administering an ES cluster myself. But Kibana refuses to run pointing at an OpenSearch cluster.

So the question is, I guess, if I go all-in on OpenSearch does that seem like a sound long term choice? Alternatively, is Elastic.co’s cloud hosting competitive (from a run through their pricing calculator I think it would be more expensive)?
Yes I understand that blocking his blog's URL because of promotion is normal, but still, I think he should know about that
Amazon’s Choice seems like a dynamic labeling to me. The impression of it that there must be a list of Choice products is likely just a deliberate impression.

If this service were easily self-hosted (i.e. on an intranet), it would serve the niche of people who for whatever reason cannot or will not use Google Docs, whose collaborative editing and version control experience is state-of-the-art, and unlikely to be surpassed by a competitor.

This could be a small but very stable niche—many companies that deal with sensitive data cannot use cloud services, often by law.

The article addresses all of your concerns.

> "How long did it take you to read that book?" - "57 years".

It's a humble brag, but an interesting point. Once you've gained the knowledge of 57 years of reading books you can skim parts you already 'know'. Also, there are plain and simply bad books out there. You've only got so much time to "deepen your understanding of the human condition" as you put it, so why let the author waste it.

I would argue the difference is heard in music that broadly follows tonal harmony. Sure, the note it self sounds the same, but the difference is context. That context is there regardless of whether it is heard or seen.

Edit: just to add some detail: you can definitely hear if something sounds Lydian. If it sounds Lydian, you know that's a sharp 4, not a flat 5. Put it in C e.g., then it's an F# and not a Gb, and you can hear that.

Thumb-operated levers on trumpets are uncommon (though, IMHO ergonomically superior). More common are a ring in which you place your left ring finger. The ring is directly attached to a slide on the third valve, so you can flatten notes by extending your left ring finger.

GP's solutions to problems 1 and 2 are the same as Rust's; the difference is problem 3 ("temporal memory safety"). Rust solves this problem with statically analyzed lifetimes, which, in addition to the safety and correctness advantages of compile-time checking, also permit RAII (which answers your "natural question" with "no, it's not necessary to do that"), which makes programming more pleasant. The disadvantage is, as you said, language-level complexity, since it's not enough for the programmer to be personally satisfied that the lifetimes are correct; they have to be represented in the code in a way that satisfies the borrow checker.

GP's proposal is to drop lifetimes and RAII (thereby simplifying the language semantics), make the programmer responsible for allocations and frees (as in C), and solve the temporal memory safety problem by doing additional work at runtime to ensure that use-after-frees reliably crash the process instead of overwriting return addresses or doing other arbitrarily bad things. Whether this is more fun to program in than RAII depends on whether you think it's better to suffer from too much abstraction or too little; people have sharply diverging intuitions on this and it's been a holy war since forever and it probably always will be.

The clearer-cut problem is that such a language would be slower than C or Rust, both because freeing memory involves extra work that C and Rust programs don't have to do, and because the requirement that use-after-frees must reliably behave a specific way inhibits optimization, since the compiler can't assume that use-after-frees don't occur. Also, using memory from a small allocation that's been zeroed out doesn't reliably crash the process unless a pointer in that allocation is dereferenced, and even then, this (contra point 1) would require the compiler to assume that null pointer dereferences can happen and must segfault, which, again, inhibits optimization.

> I know the basic idea is to go grab KiCad (or preferably something else a bit faster, not Python-based)

Definitely start with KiCad, it's not slow. The majority of it is written in C and C++, but that shouldn't matter if the tool functions well and lets you design what you want to make. It's open source, and perfectly up to the task of designing a keyboard PCB.

After the KiCad work, you generate what are called Gerber files. You zip those up, along with files that describe the parts you'll use, and where they get placed on the board. JLCPCB (or any other PCB fabrication shop) will create your boards, and optionally populate them with parts and solder them.

In the mail you'll get your (potentially populated) PCBs. At that point, you add switches, stabilizers, keycaps, and hope your design works. Maybe design a case or a top plate for it as well if you want more sturdiness or a more "finished" look.

The part you decide at the beginning is if you'll use an off-the-shelf microcontroller (most keyboards use what's called a Pro Micro), or if you'll have the microcontroller soldered directly on the board.

If this is your first PCB, I'd recommend going the Pro Micro route. Leaving that circuitry to a tried and tested board means you focus just on the layout and wiring for your key switches. You can get away with just having the PCB shop solder on diodes for each key, you can solder them yourself, or design them as through hole parts to make the soldering even easier (I prefer soldering surface-mount parts to through-hole but I might just be weird).

There are tons of guides out there on how to do this. I won't recommend a particular one because I didn't use any singular one when designing mine, but I will say that all the KiCad videos on the youtube channel Phil's Lab are extremely valuable and insightful when it comes to PCB design.

Maybe dip your toes in by designing a really simple PCB. You'll quickly see it may not be as complicated as you might have thought. Keyboard PCBs are quite simple in the grand scheme of all the different PCBs out there, so I recommend just jumping right in and learning as you go.
You’re not forced to use all instructions of more complex ISAs.

While I feel that article is being too harsh on C, it would be interesting to have cache intrinsics just like we have SIMD intrinsics. I would imagine that would be more complex to implement, however.

I found surprising that the author totally misses the role of financial capitalism of private bankers lending money to entrepreneurs as a catalyst of inovation.

Both Gutenberg and James Watt themselves didn't have the money to start their ventures, they were supported and financed by their contemporary versions of venture capitalists.

This is something that was quintessential European and didn't exist in other parts of the world, from the Medici in Tuscany to the Dutch East India Company, stock markets, double entry accounting, private banks, etc.

Even within parts of Europe, the lack of financial capitalism, private bankers and the rule of the law was the main reason many regions didn't have strong manufacturing prior to late 19th century, e.g.: Spain, Portugal, Greece, etc.

Corporations as a whole are a financial vehicle to shift value created by employees to executives and investors.

Being an early stage employee in a startup with significant equity means betting that your employer will eventually grow and you'll be somebody receiving the value rather than somebody creating it. That's how you reach the upper class in a capitalist economy and startups have successfully accomplished that for many founders and early stage employees.

>Bach wrote The Well-Tempered Clavier to show off how one well temperament system (no one knows which one) sounds okay in every major and minor key. The keys closer to C sound sweeter and more euphonious, while the more distant keys sound darker and edgier.
