Your overly bitter hot take doesn't jive with reality very well in your suggestion that Dorsey particularly celebrates being wealthy.

That seems to be the actual heuristic, but it would not fly politically.
A professor I’m familiar with mentioned the use of homoglyphs to dodge anti plagiarism detection. Maybe add that to the checklist.
50 years ago, unless you were studying at the highest levels of theoretical/historical music research, you'd likely have been taught wrong.

The “Bach standardized the world on 12TET” trope is old and enjoyable enough to make a good story that unspecialized music teachers have parroted along for generations.

We've got better access to information now. I've corrected music teachers on this specific topic in the past. Some gratefully accept. Some pull out the “but the teacher here is me card”, so I'm sure a few more generations are going to be needed.
This just backs up the point the great grand parent comment made: GIMP just barely has feature parity with Photoshop 3 and even then lacks features that were in PS3. As a project GIMP is impressive and the devs do good work. Unfortunately for many end users it's useless because it lacks particular features.
> It wasn't how a registrar should act.

So we agree. If you act the wrong way, I won’t give you business. It’s not a hard concept, regardless of the motivations behind it.
Then, you had disaster recovery plans, you devised a strategy of what is an acceptable data loss, execute the reconstruction plan on the new big server, under some hours, the new big server is up again.
You apologize, offer some financial compensation, etc.

And you learn from the situation, understand what are your new tolerance for data loss, failures, etc., then start new plans accordingly.
>by allowing the player to produce notes unbounded by discrete steps or subdivisions thereof, e.g. fretless string instruments and trombones

Then you have the problem that the player will himself be off, unwillingly, most of the time. Often more than the offsets of 12-tet to the "ideal" note.
Is there anything particularly significant about this year in particular that makes these heatwaves more likely aside from the general trendline of climate change?
I prefer reading books myself, but sometimes the hurdle to actually sit down and read can be a bit big. So while I'm an avid reader, I have bouts where I read nothing at all. Not because of time constraints or anything, just feels a bit heavy starting something new.

But listening to something is less of a commitment. As you say, can combine it with something else. So it's a way for me to ease back into reading mode again.

Edit: but I would recommend staying away from Audible. When I wanted to take a break from my monthly membership, they forced me to use all tokens I had amassed.

It is a tool of oppression right from the beginning, and its goal is to oppress certain behaviours so we can have a functional society.
No man is an island, entirely of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod is washed away by the sea, Europe is the lesser, as well as if a promontorie were, as well as if a manor of your friends or of your own were; any person’s ban diminishes me, because I am involved in the community; And therefore never ask to know onto who the banhammer falls; it falls on you.

Spot-on and reflects the reality I’ve been living for the past two years.
Mentioned that in my first comment.

There’s perfectly good software out there. I’d rather get work done and use that, than spend forever trying to make sense of some mess of an ancient project’s code and trying to fix it. There are even free projects with usable UI that would be a better use of time if I were to want to contribute to something. Krita’s been mentioned here a few times and it seems to have a brighter future.
Because in fretless it can be done all the time - and picking the note manually by exact finger placement is done all the time.

In fretted instruments, bending is done for effect, not for adjusting each and every note.

oh comeon jack, there are many 'protocols' to share anything in any way you like, someone needs to do the work to bring the people on the platform. that s what twitter does and only a company can do that. other than that i dont think you regret the $$$
At least being a genius in one area doesn’t imply being a genius in all.
The correct answer is given by Andrew Gelman right at the top: "Unfortunately, no, I don’t know of any heuristic, beyond using tools such as GRIM to check for consistency of reported numerical results."

The question is essentially whether it is possible to have a structural procedure to evaluate the semantic validity of a statement.
That may depend on the terms with Audible.
> The developer apparently wasn't interested to do it right or did not have the time, he wouldn't say

Bit weird to put it like that, everyone else in the world didn't do it either, it's open source after all.
Yes, that’s too expensive, so not for any website. And you can’t solve this.
> it is worth commenting that there are trivial ways to remove DRM from Audible files.

say i share with a loved one or close friend the de-DRM'd audiobook. now their computer becomes infected with a RAT, and 'my' file/audiobook fingerprinted with the proprietary fingerprint algorithm (to identify me as the unique purchaser, the same techniques are probably applied industry wide) is leaked online as a consequence (or their backup system is compromised or any kind of infosec violation out of the hands of my friend). next, Amazon corp identifies me. their immediate next step: lawsuit on me as an individual because 'my' file is now leaked on p2p filesharing sites and forums without me knowing about it.

capitalist-enforced DRM is cancer because it's artificial scarcity imposed on a non-scarce resource (computer data/audio file). it's the result of trying to work with the limited and violent toolsets of a capitalist economy.

the internet is still young and there are likely so many better options for publishing things.

for example, an author i've followed for a while by the name of Charles Eisenstein has a deal with his publisher, North Atlantic Books, to initially launch his book as paperback only, and then after a six month period, his whole book is available free to read on his website (also of course there's the wonderful Library Genesis).

The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible by Charles Eisenstein: https://charleseisenstein.org/books/the-more-beautiful-world... (i love the final story 'A Gathering of the Tribe')

i just wanted to add my two cents after seeing encouraging discussions/debates here on this page. hybrid strategies like Eisenstein's give me signals that ultimately make me feel hopeful for a post-capitalist society which would allow any child to listen to any audiobook (and be infinitely curious in whichever direction feels most natural for them), regardless of whether their parents can afford Audible/Storytel/whatever. i focus on a child's curiosity because they suffer the most from the capitalist commoditization of culture and science and more.

All free, easily accessible publishing platforms of considerable size, without exception, will always disseminate lies, outrage, fear, along with clickbait, scams, and general garbage content by the hundreds of millions of posts.

There isn't a single example that hasn't turned out that way in the history of the Internet and there never will be. There's a reason for it: human nature hasn't changed in the past decades, and those items sell (garner attention) and always will quite predictably.

The sole means of stopping that is to have a highly controlled platform that restricts who gets to say what, quite aggressively, through hiring many thousands of moderators with intentional bias to a particular worldview.
You can’t conclude that a language has taken direct inspiration from another just because they look similar.
I’ve been quietly rooting for RISC-V to take over because I can pretty easily understand and remember how it actually works.

When I was studying ISAs etc and got to the real CPUs we’re commonly using today it got too crazy for me to really unravel and remember, especially because it’s tangential to my daily work.
> A good study group can be invaluable, if the group and its members understand what is required to pass the specific course.

Maybe you've had a better experience than I have but over 3 college degrees I've never been part of a study group that was worth the time. The problem is it's so hard to find other motivated people who won't let the group devolve into social hour. After multiple attempts I gave up.
That actually looks great - I could definitely make use of scaling based on message queue depths as well. Will have to look into it further, thanks!
Which "modern rock musicians" do that? It surely is not widespread in rock.

Rock musicians change guitars (in a live or even studio situation) mostly to get a different sound or a different tuning (like going from "standard" to an open tuning). Not for microtuning adjustments, or because they have moved the frets to match an individual piece.

Some prog musicians might do it, but it surely is not a "rock" custom.

In arabic music, on the other hand, or renaissance music, and other genres, it is, and instruments there often have movable frets.
Could someone point what it uses to draw the tree chart?
You can have safe manual memory management. The main cases of bugs are:

1. Null pointer deref. Can be fixed by having optional types and requiring that possibly null pointers have to be wrapped in them.

2. Out of bounds references. Can be fixed by making the type system track how big all objects are, and having the compiler insert bounds checking.

3. Use after free. Can be fixed by the free function zero'ing heap objects smaller than a page (eg 4KB), and unmapping larger ones so that future accesses are a seg fault. The heap also needs to not create new objects at the same address as deleted ones, but we have 64-bit address spaces, so maybe that's fine.

These all have costs, but so do all solutions to these problems.

I can't think of any reasons that a language with manual memory management has to be less safe than one with a Garbage Collector / ARC.
Funny story...A few years ago, my online reference hunting turned up a paper from China with three Chinese authors, and also exactly the same paper (down to the formatting and footnotes) from three Indian authors in India.
More often than note (sic), they'll play them the same as a piano would, to match the regular instruments they play along with.

They're famous for lots of bullshit they didn't actually do. It's part of the demonization process.

In this case, Monsanto never sold "terminator" seeds. They (and many others) sold hybrid seeds, which don't breed true, and so are functionally equivalent to that. Hybrid seeds have been around since the 1930s, if not earlier.

In any case, they can get the same effect by contract. You were not allowed to replant Roundup Ready soybeans, and they sued (and won against) farmers who broke the contract to do that.
I think there is merit to these discussions. One has to ask what the most natural/idiomatic program to solve a problem is, and sometimes the performance of that matters more than the utmost performance you can get from the language.

I'm know to be a rust fanboy, so I'll talk about C++ instead. C++ is known to be fast, but theres also some known logic that you should use smart pointers to have more memory safety than raw pointers. If you follow that you'll end up with a slower program. Of course, you can remove those and manage the pointers yourself, but then you have to deal with documenting the lifetimes properly.

These are trade offs people agree to when using a language. The easier thing might be slower and that's ok. Speed isn't always critical, so you can't exactly rate languages by that metric alone
Your second sentence doesn’t make sense because their post presented a lot of good points that move the argument past a “I don’t like it so it’s bad” argument. To knock it up another notch those same points could be applied to Linux over Windows. Market (user) adoption is the only real metric to measure against. The argument I submit is that a tool like Gimp can’t be considered better if it can’t claim the market to prove it, if it was fundamentally better at its core adoption would pass the non open source leader.
Don't lead people to believe manuals/manpages are good, complete or readable. I often fine that coming up with an option line that does what I want requires more study than is presented in the manual. A quick forum search will probably be a much better starting point.

Also, I recall that reading though a Samba config file (it's been a decade, maybe it's gotten better) while instructive, is nearly equivalent to reading a novella. Sure I can configure domains and users, but I don't need any of that.

A mandatory half pager trying to setup a typical newbie use case would be a huge improvement for most manuals that I have seen.
You can speak with anyone on any federated server, you don't have to hop servers on mastodon. The instances are the providers, but they participate in a big network (except the ones that are banned - i.e each instance can choose which edges in the graph it should use.)
the author warns to not forward to the internet. I guess there are homerouters out there isolating each client.

I agree that wireguard is the way. Besides tailscale, a bit of config autogeneration goes a long way there - easy-wg-quick and friends
>Why? There are laws about classified material, and they apply to former Presidents.

Ah, I see, you're naive enough to think that the Secret Service (or any LEO) are crime-preventers instead of crime-janitors. What an interesting world you think we live in. There are laws, they do apply, and this 20-month process culminating in a search warrant and future indictment is that legal process. And the secret service, as crime-janitors, likely did give testimony to a grand jury.

>You're contradicting yourself. Either Trump violated laws or he didn't

No I'm not. Trump can pack his things and commit a crime by taking them. Just like you can walk into a 7/11 grab a coke and walk out. That's a crime. You can do it. Trump can pack TS/SCI reports into a box and take them.

There would be no point in having a punishment for taking classified materials if in fact it was impossible to do so.

>What is supposed to happen is that anything the former President wants to take gets checked (not by the Secret Service, by the FBI or the White House staff's in-house security people who are responsible for classified material) to make sure it's not something that requires special handling, like, you know, classified material

This is completely irrelevant. Because even if this doesn't happen, then the Archives will say "Hey you missed some stuff, send it on over, thanks" and a law-abiding President/staff will say "Okie-dokie!" and the entire issue is solved.

Blame-shifting to the move-out is a red herring because that was just opportunity #1 out of 20 to handle the documents in a law-abiding way. Trump still had violate #2, #3, #4, all the way down the line before "subpoena" and "search warrant" happened. You can't just hyper-fixate on one event. Read the timeline I posted, it's a 20 month event.

>Your ignorance of history is appalling.

Your defense of the indefensible is pathetic. If you had the intellectualism to match your insults, you would have simply said the 4 year Presidency that was obviously worse. You would simply have said "Hah! Had you known about Taft, you would not say this!" But because you know of no 4 year period worse, you simply insult me as if doing so is a suitable replacement for an actual argument.

As I have posted deep sourcing for the facts I stated here including the only 1st-party evidence in the thread, and I think this is just a very angry young person, I am going to leave this thread. Have fun!
This is really simple and clear - for that I applaud you.

I agree with your first piece on attraction - I equate this to creating demand. Your examples from the physical world are really good. There are analogs to the digital world that go above and beyond - but content, distribution, and community are key.

The part I disagree with is that everything below the line is sales. The line between marketing and sales is much more blurry these days due to digital. Lots of "self serve". The pitch, the narrative, the capturing of the demand (i.e. maybe this would be the design of the physical store in the physical world) happens in marketing land and there's strong partnership.

Really interesting that you put sales into COGS. If it works for you, that's great! :) I'd encourage thinking about it in CAC (cost of acquiring a customer) and then using Payback (how quickly you pay the CAC back) as a measure of health.
Because languages like Oberon exist, used to write graphical workstations operating systems, and Go has the same set of features as Oberon.

Cloud computing is ushering in the exact opposite. Each user has their own private cloud VMs; it’s much easier (and cheaper) to spin up and tear down VMs with images precisely customized by each user than to constantly run and maintain a single VM supporting a multiuser system. It’s also a far superior user experience; having root on your own machine is way better than having to ask a sysadmin to update a shared machine (and often getting denied in the process).
Break me out of sandbox in old pipe: CVE-2022-22715 Windows Dirty Pipe
That was my point: while you may have some/strong inhibitions due to this name, I don't. To me, "git" is far worse - probably because of gaps in my English, but still. You don't get why they don't change the name; I would rather folks spend effort on improving Gimp than changing its name. (Same for git btw.)

I think name changes are like bug fixes: the later in the life cycle you go for it, the more expensive. Whether that is worth the cost... in the case of Gimp and git: for you maybe yes, for me decidedly no. Doesn't mean either of us is more right than the other, but does say something about how we feel about using and talking about these pieces of software.
None of this supports the parent's claim that TV went "from black&white 625x625 to color 300x300", which is just wrong on several levels.

"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.

- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronounciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.

- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.

- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.

- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks

That is the only logical conclusion to arrive at from an atheistic world view, at least he's being honest with himself. More atheists should be honest with themselves as well and we'll see how things end up.

People may speak fantasies, but act - they mostly act as they honestly think. “Things” will end up just as they are now. You are dehumanizing atheists and, as I suspect, anyone who doesn’t follow your “ethical” god.

We all have a right to disagree, but thinking that all ethical people who do not agree with you are just not honest with themselves is delusional. You’re basically saying that if your god doesn’t prohibit something that other people may find highly unethical in their culture, you will still do that. That’s the essence of how most people see your religion.
I'm not suggesting that it's a good idea, just that it is probably economically feasible.

>I say this as it is an interesting case of 'more than one way to skin a cat'

You're basically skinning the cat the same way, you just don't know the terms of the steps involved or the theory (the "why") behind them, and can't generalize it to ways to skin all kinds of other animals, and even do taxidermy on them - things that the author does.

You however might have picked some special tricks of cat-skinning, and self-taughtingly built your own small conventions, that the author might not know, but which still follow music theory - which, in musicology, is way broader than "common practice" music theory -, (and the author could also delve into them and explain their function theoritically if he played the same genre and bothered to check them out).
These two approaches could be combined, and probably will be naturally if both varieties are introduced to the wild.
>an adequate facsimile of Photoshop

For some it apparently is. There are certainly talented designers/artists who really want an open source stack who can produce excellent results using GIMP. Would I encourage using GIMP if someone doesn't care about open source? Almost certainly not, but it can be used to produce excellent results.
When I'm evaluating an open-source project, I always check the quality of its commit messages. I don't care about following a specific format or something, all that matters is whether they are informative or not.
