Age isn't necessarily the issue imo. Lua is older than Ruby and has managed to show restraint against implementing every new popular language feature that has shown up in the interim time. And when Lua does add a feature it's usually done in a way that is congruent with the existing idioms. I'd say Ruby, JavaScript and PHP tend to bolt-on features that are popular without much thought of original design goals or existing idioms.
Having to bend up to a given note each time you need to hit it will be slower and less precise.

Generally the bend is done after the fretted note is struck as well. I guess it would be possible to always pre-bend to a given alternate note if you wanted a constant tone, but it definitely seems like working against the grain of the tool versus just using a fretless instrument.

Though, this is more of a "toolset" to do custom tunings and apply them at various times in a DAW, than something actually implementing what the parent asked for.

In other words, it's something someone might use to implement what they asked for - but also lots of other things besides, and it's not meant specifically for that purpose.

Yeah, me three. I started with Emacs because it could syntax highlight both R and LaTeX code for Sweave, and discovered org mode a few years later.

Inmarsat, Iridium, Thuraya, and Globalstar primarily use L-band.

The early PCS allocations and a few later allocations (1900, 1800, 1700) are also L-band, but there’s good reason not to use them for this, they are already heavily in use all over. Satellite cells cover a large area and you don’t want to collide with a tower using the same frequency.

The 600-800mhz allocations are not great for satellite broadcast due to limiting characteristics of those bands.

So for the 5G bands that would not already heavily be in use and/or aren’t well suited to satellite use, that leaves us C band (3-5ghz), and K/Ku band (mmWave).

"There were propaganda campaigns" and "nuclear died off" doesn't mean the former caused the latter. Classic correlation/causation fallacy.

Just as a predator is more successful against a dying prey animal, so are activist groups more successful against an industry that is suffering from grave self-induced problems. Nuclear would be in fine shape today, activists or not, if there were money to be made, as there would be if it really were competitive.

One thing you learn as you get older is that everybody is in the same boat in this journey on earth and there’s likely no truth and no point in excessively pitying yourself or think of what you experienced as anything unique or extraordinarily awful. This is the human condition and we need to learn to embrace it and be at peace with it. In fact I have probably done much more than a lot of peers of the same age group (how much of that is “useful” in a practical sense is dubious, e.g. achieving N1 level in Japanese, about which I also used to wonder whether I could have spent such time programming more, but on the other hand learning languages was part of my identity, so I was generally happy to have spent time on them), but even then, when I was younger, I was constantly anxious that I was not doing enough and just wasting my life away. Now I feel less afflicted by that thought. It doesn’t mean I shouldn’t dedicate my time to meaningful and productive endeavors, but you may find peace in knowing that people like Carmack require so many things to go their way to get there, and statistically speaking you’re much more likely to not reach that level than do, and there’s nothing to be ashamed of in that fact.
Which two countries? India and China?
I’d qualify both scenarios as being competitive, though arguably the Ben and Jerry’s one is likely easier for the “average” person to break into with a cooperative.

While the capital requirements are relatively lower to start a food processing business, they’re not non-existent. The founders will have to pony up most of the initial investment and take on a whole lot of risk early on, with only a very slim possibility of a large payout if the venture does exceedingly well. Most financial institutions (even cooperative ones) won’t lend to them, as it’s difficult to collateralize the initial equity put forth by the founders of a cooperative. Equity can’t be issued to investors, due to governance and legal restrictions. The capital pool is thus dramatically constrained vis-à-vis a traditional corporation.

This is ignoring that cooperatives are harder to start in most jurisdictions due to a lack of legal resources. Our food delivery cooperative took 7 months and several letters and in-person meetings to legally incorporate (even though we started sales one month in) whereas our local competitors who formed corporations were able to incorporate within one day and online. During the early months of the pandemic, we actually had to get a derogation from the government to be the first cooperative in Canada to have our founding general assembly (a legal requirement to start a cooperative in Quebec) online, as the law said we all to physically meet in person to be able to incorporate!

The very legal framework for cooperatives see much less use in most jurisdictions, meaning that when things go wrong, the venues for recourse are unclear due to a lack of precedent. A notable case of this is the hijacking/bankruptcy of Mountain Equipment Co-op in Vancouver, Canada, which was sold off to private equity without the consent of its members, all while following the law to the letter.

Contrast this with starting a corporation, where the financing and governance playbook is known and if you want to bring in more people onto the team, you can just continue subdividing the equity to get something akin to a cooperative. A cooperative is just a corporation after all, just with a more equitable equity split.

I think what you’re suggesting can still work in certain cultural and economic environments. The founders really have to sell the idea of buying into their cooperative, all while limiting their potential upside as they bring in members who have yet to contribute to the cooperative and yet will soon be eligible to take part in the proceeds and governance. If they can manage that and get over the initial legal and financial hurdles, they can totally be competitive. The initial constraints don’t make it attractive however.
The GIMP thread experience: exactly one diehard user of the software takes on all comers to explain why GIMP is actually great.
I think that the most important thing Kubernetes does is vocabulary. You can replace docker build with podman or kaniko, but Dockerfile is a standard. You’ll not rewrite them. You can use k3s, gke. May be there’ll be independent implementations. But your infra code will be the same. It liberates you from dependency on particular cloud or even technology.

And it enables easier distribution of software. Layer one is source code. You need to build it. Layer two is OCI image. Smart people, often original developers did the build and Linux dependency management, and you just need some runtime to run it. But you still need to manage external service dependencies, which ports to expose, which HTTP paths to expose. K8s yamls with some generator like Helm or Kustomize complete that picture, so you can deploy some service along its dependencies with one command.

Docker-compose could be a better alternative. I like it more. But it’s not feature-complete (e.g. no ingresses, security is a complete afterthought) and at this point will not be a viable competitor.

>where he explored some (to me) weird tunings, starting with one where A = 432Hz

That's just changing a convention, not a tuning in the sense talked elsewhere in this thread (how we divide notes), but "what our starting frequency is".

A=432 and A=440 is just as arbitrary. They just had to pick something so they would all match.

The main difference is that 432 is associated with a set of new age, healing, "universe", etc. BS claims in certain "spiritual" circles...
It is a long article but I thought it was an interesting look at the wind power industry and has a few details about payments for land use and tax incentives for the companies and such (at the end they speculate that the structure of tax incentives is a major reason for the lack of maintinance in this case).

Fretted instruments, especially electric guitars, are usually not strictly equal temperament and are made to have just intonation in at least some combinations of notes because equal temperament sounds bad with distortion.

There exist equal temperament guitars, but they're usually custom built:

https://guitargearfinder.com/faq/true-temperament-frets/

In any case most people don't mind such small differences, especially that guitars aren't terribly precise to begin with - a player can easily get 10 cents of a semitone on each individual string when playing a power chord with distortion, bringing the whole thing to just intonation.
Tangential question (and a serious one, since I'm pretty much baffled by the whole thing) : I don't use audiobooks, since I find them 'slow'.

Why do people listen to them instead of reading books? Is it because, say, listening to one while driving is better than not being able to read since you have no time to do so?
Or is there a specific pleasure in listening to a book read by someone else?

Ask HN: Why companies chose terible names for bad devices?

Ask HN: Consumer Spectroscopy?
Is there any way, as a consumer, to use spectroscopy to determine what atoms/molecules are contained in a product?

For instance when you buy gold leaf to check that it's really gold. Or to see if your water is contaminated with, say, lead or PFOA. Or even to compare different kinds of water, like different brands of bottled water.

As it is, as a consumer, I have to rely on marketing and regulatory oversight. And while there are commercially available tests for, say, water contaminants or phthalates, these are expensive, they are slow, and they only test for specific compounds.

Ideally, I'd like to have a device that I can just point at a sample, and which will tell me exactly what atoms are present in there, and, ideally, a list of probable compounds.

Is there any device that does this, even just remotely? If not, what obstacles are there for such a device to exist?
>If I took your logic and extended it, that means you'd would be against the gigantic bison herds that existed in early American history (50-100M animals), which are within the size ranges of the complete American cattle herds.

The bison talking point has already been addressed elsewhere on this post, but copying and pasting the other commenter's info -

> ~60,000,000 Bison in North America in 1600 [1]

> 94,400,000 cattle and calves in USA in 2017. [2]

Which represents an increase of 50%. Not to mention that if we look at global cattle numbers, those have exploded to 1,000,967,000 Livestock Cattle worldwide in 2021, far above historical numbers.[3]

In fact, cattle make up more of the biomass on Earth than any other species, at 650 million tonnes.[4]

So yeah, the current state of the world does not compare in any way to the 1600s and the 60 million bison in NA.

>Given other large sources of animal protein, you'd likely be against vibrant fish, & oceanic mammal populations toon.

This seems like a non-sequitor, how is this relevant to the discussion?

>Given that the US has supported wild animal populations of equivalent large cattle,

This is false, and especially misleading when taking a global view. Please feel free to show me sources that contradict the ones I've provided.

>That is utter idiocy. The question is always which thing a farmer is going to raise.[...] which thing to grow is always a question. However, it was done previously without farming.

Sorry, how is this a response to the required increase in cattle population if we were to transition to 100% grass-fed beef, and the required increase in pasture productivity or expansion of pasture?

>No.

I've provided a source that says yes. Do you have a source saying that more than 4% of beef sold in the US is grass-fed?

> Many markets are selling >50% grass fed now, and the grass-fed farms have incredible demand with backlogs on animals now.

Please define "many" and quantify the total impact of their grass-fed sales on total sales in the US. The source I've provided shows that to be 4%.

Further, again, grass-fed beef is actually worse for the climate as I've demonstrated by citing a number of sources, so it's not like this is a good argument to pursue if your goal is to try to rationalize beef consumption as being good for the climate.

Also as long as sharps and flats are written in a very pedantic manner. For example a diminished C chord only sounds "right" if it's notated as C-E♭-G♭-B♭♭ rather than C-E♭-G♭-A.

On top of this, harmony may or may not work the same in 19-TET and 12-TET. With the same example of diminished chords, the diminished chord does not divide the octave in four equal parts in 19-TET. Adim and Cdim are enharmonic in 12-TET, but Adim in 19-TET is A-C-E♭-G♭♭; that is, only C and E♭ are the same.
It's quite possible that the main reason he's taking nearly the same time is because he's now more fit. It's also quite possible that the improvements in conditioning only really became visible once he stopped doing it as intensively, as sufficient rest is also important.

I have kind of noticed that trying to ride faster can bring diminishing results in terms of time, though. This is mostly from commutes -- I rarely go on pure exercise rides nowadays and I never really time or measure them if I do -- but going from a semi-leisurely pace to one of actual exertion seems to cut my travel times by less than 20 percent.

I used to commute ~45 to 50 minutes to a previous job by bike, and increasing the intensity from moderate (getting a bit sweaty but not feeling real strain) to some significant exertion might have won me five minutes. Going all out might have theoretically won me a bit more but probably still in the teens in terms of percentage. Granted there were intersections, traffic signals etc. along the commute, so I couldn't really just keep a steady pace and that might also have an effect on how much you can gain, but there were also stretches of several kilometres where I didn't have to stop.

I don't necessarily buy the two-minute difference but I can buy the diminishing returns of increasing intensity.
I'll do that. I already see overlap with Karabiner Elements, but it does seem like everything in this space overlaps everything else, so... par for the course.

While this is true on many levels, one might also forget why it does happen:

- parents living away from grandparents, so the family hasn't support (babysitting isn't affordable by everyone, plus everyone can't be trusted nowadays)

- absorbing jobs, no real work-life balance

- the need of parents to dedicate time to themselves and lack of it because of the preceding points

>This is not quite right. On all fretless instruments, including most bowed strings and the human voice, enharmonic equivalent notes still have different pitches.

Not because we want it or it is some ideal situation, though.

Just because 12-tet can't get a single note to be in the exact right ratio. If it could, we'd play D# and Eb exactly the same.

Besides, if the fretless instrument is not soloing, it might still play it as the 12-tet single note compromise, to match what others play at the same time.

> indicating that they probably limited it a lot.

That's not the case. The FBI spoke to Zuckerberg prior to the phony laptop story dropping! Facebook thought the story looked suspicious (because it is) which is why they chose not to amplify it. Please read the article, specifically this comment is illuminating:

`He said the FBI did not warn Facebook about the Biden story in particular - only that Facebook thought it "fit that pattern".`

Rogan asking the question at all was silly, and Zuck's answer non-committal, because the FBI didn't even bring this story up.

Keep in mind, even after all of this–knowing that the story is most likely a political hack job–Facebook didn't ban the article, they just did not amplify it's spread for 1 week.

Technically it is possible to touch type with a single finger.

Why are people using Terraform, a relatively horrible and inconsistent tool to deploy their software as code ? As it is better than the alternatives and everyone is using it. It is the same with K8s. Yes, it is complex, however, as everyone is using it it is super easy to find documentation or example for pretty much anything. Finding the same documentation for Nomad is much harder.

Career wise all major platforms (Azure, GCP, and AWS) offer K8s, and therefore it is much better to learn the principles of K8s instead of focussing on the relatively obscure Nomad platform.
