I guess it really depends on your instrument, taste, style and the group you are playing with. While studying Cello I actually had a lot of lessons with string quartet where we were analysing the score (harmony) for intonation and it happens quite often in modulations that enharmonic equivalents were used to distinguish whether a chord belongs to the old or the new harmony. And sometimes we really needed to make a difference between an e flat and a d sharp to match an open string or to get a desired tension.

For me the enharmonic equivalent is usually just a totally different harmony, so that is what I tune to. As a result they are quite different notes. I try to do that consciously - also while playing with fixed pitch instruments when possible (like the grandparent comment explained).
They detail the reasons for moving to Chromium https://brave.com/development-plans-for-upcoming-release/ . I was also disappointed at first, but the benefits seem to be worth it, such as use of Chrome extensions.
I've been using Neovim for several years now. Not for any real reason, other than "Let's try 'new & shiny'" when it first emerged.

Last week I thought I'd finally get round to converting my existing Neovim init.vim config [which had itself been inherited and developed from my earlier Vim .vimrc one] to Lua [not a language I'd ever used before. But the syntax looked fairly straightforward].

What a waste of time! The easy stuff [enabling/disabling various options] was easy. But then it's easy in Vimscript too. The difficult stuff [defining autocmds, managing my plugins] was either completely ignored in every single "convert your init.vim to to init.lua" tutorial I read... or required wrapping the existing Vimscript block in

vim.cmd[[ ... ]]

in Lua because Neovim's Lua support can't yet do a lot of this stuff natively. Oh, and this also had the brilliant side-effect of removing syntax highlighting from great swathes of my config file as everything inside vim.cmd[[ ... ]] is rendered as a comment.

I spent the best part of a day wrestling with converting to init.lua, left it overnight and then, in the morning thought Why the fuck am I wasting time trying to beat this into shape, when my existing vim.init is already set up exactly how I want it?" and I reverted back to good ol' crusty ol' unfashionable Vimscript.

YMMV if you're actively developing plugins and want to use a more widely utilised language to write them in. But for configuring Neovim itself, Lua is more hassle than it's worth.
There are 5 instances of starting a sentence with But. Perhaps I'm in a minority but I always find that jarring to read.

I think writing modern style guides are divided on it, although they're not something I know much about.
X-COM Apocalypse is a third game in the series, or second if you acknowledge Terror From the Deep was just a mission pack reusing same engine. Apparently Microprose gave Julian Gollop free reign over Apocalypse. It is unquestionably the worst xcom game made.
If you block people from using the bathroom, they will use the outside of the bathroom.
A better solution would be to clean them often.
funny if you think that you can hire 2-3 FTE engineers for that hardware easily anywhere non-SV. And then (still) can afford to buy a bit of colocation, fibre and compute (200k for 2000 cores + 8 TB memory we got quoted now) - and that still leaves enough that you just buy NetApp for storage...
#define setFault(faultBit) { shortStatus.faults |= faultbit; longStatus.faults |= faultBit; }

I think it's best to declare the function 'static inline' and shove it into a header. With this macro faultBit (the argument) is evaluated twice, and it's not wrapped in a do-while so you could have problems if you don't use braces for your if statement bodies. You also need to deal with escaping newlines in macros.
Technically? YouTube users are free to describe a deny list of domains. If the referer request header mentions the domain then content does not play.

If you employ technical mitigations, such as issuing requests from a server and misleading with the referer, YouTube will reach out with a C&D. If you don't honor it, then prepare to defend your usage in court similar to ytdl. They will make the case that 1984 Sony Corp. of America v. Universal City Studios, Inc. doesn't apply to here as there's clear commercial intent supporting the desire to re-stream media content
Improving society without accountability is hardly possible. Humans are not dark matter, they interact with each other very intensely.

It's of course ideal when everyone is so nice and civilized that you don't need to lock your door. The problem is that such a society is a great hunting ground for a rare breaker, because it does not have a mechanism to resist breaking the rules. Such a breaker can inflict disproportionate damage and ruin things for everyone.

Improving mores and living conditions should go hand in hand with protecting these improved mores and conditions from those who try to push the society back to the savage state for a minor benefit for themselves.

The nice thing about his code[0] is that the C application just counts the new-lines on stdin and makes a beep for each. Just about anything could be fed into this app to make ad-hoc live monitor of activities.

A simple one is to monitor any access to files inside a directory:

inotifywait -r -m . | ./teller

You could also beep on important events in your own log files, beep for each request that hits your socket, or set up the runtime to tell you when the garbage is collected.

> Chicago doesn't have libraries that have EV chargers, my friends live in the city too, there are no garages here. My work doesn't provide parking (no one does downtown chicago), let alone parking with EV charging.

Okay, so the problem is, urban Chicago hasnt yet installed suitable EV charging. Presumably they have parking for their cars and gas stations, they've just not bothered to add charging to them.

They should do that. It's not particularly hard.

Chicago even publish simple PDF guides for owners and tenants of apartments to talk them through it:

https://www.chicago.gov/city/en/progs/env/drive_electric_chi...

and they seem to have planned for it:

https://www.utilitydive.com/news/chicago-requires-new-reside...

So, it's all good. They even note how EV charging can lead to lower energy prices for those that don't own an EV. A win-win-win.
> you must pay a big chunk

not really, you could be given shares as part of the compensation package. Of course, paying to purchase some shares is and should be possible too.

> you may (should?) have a guaranteed job forever.

if by this you mean that if you don't work, you would still get paid your wages, then it'd be impossible. But your shares that you obtain as part of your compensation package would entitle you to some of the profits (proportional to your ownership amount), so it should be possible to receive money even if stopped working (you just don't receive a wage).

if by this you mean you can never be fired from the job, despite your poor performance, then i dont believe that it ever to be possible - perhaps you cannot have unfair dismissals (i imagine dismissals are via committee, which means other share holders, which are also your coworkers, have a say, and if they all agree to dismiss, it must mean your contributions are negative).

It's unknown whether Bach wrote the WTK for equal temperament (the modern standard) or for a well temperament (something that tempers all keys enough to be usable but does not make all keys sound identical).
The world's largest Co-Op?

What does "Co-Op" means in this context? Because if it was under ordinary Co-Op, I am pretty sure there are a few Co-Op larger than Mondragon.

> "In 2021, the network brought in more than eleven billion euros in revenue"

€11B, or roughly $11B USD in revenue. There are quite a few large Co-Op in Japan unknown to the West, which is similar or an order of magnitude larger. But outside of that, even the well known ones from New Zealand such as Fonterra, I guess everyone should at least have heard of the butter brand Anchor, comes in at 20.57 billion NZD revenue, or ~$12.5B USD.

So what makes Mondragon the largest Co-Op in the world? By Profits? By Headcounts? or By Asset?
This post is completely on the money. As distasteful as this will be to proponents of FOSS - especially those that “hate” all things Apple, a majority of professional design and photo work is done with them, which has a massive impact on the hobbyists market. Until Macs are treated as a first class citizen, success will likely be completely out of reach. Demonstrate usability and performance with the platform the pro’s use and the trickle down effect will be there. Blender, who use their own UI kit on the Mac just like Adobe does, is successful because it’s approachable (now at least, I’m still a right-clicker) and performant on all platforms. They talk about, and with, pro users and where Blender fits in. I’d now say that if anyone wants to play around or learn 3D modelling for animation, games and FX, Blender is as good as any place to start.

> similar stations in other cities, all have bathrooms. They’re usually open 24/7 too.

Less than you think. I ride the bus all around the Seattle area and I can't think of a bus station here that has a bathroom.

> Even places with locks on the bathrooms will usually let people use them if they ask.

Not here.

> It is not unreasonable to imagine someone, no matter how destitute, getting something off the dollar menu at McDonald’s.

You're talking about a couple bucks a day for people subsisting on $200 of snap benefits a month.

It's almost as if people suffering from substance abuse disorder make poor financial choices

> In the absolute worst case scenario, find a secluded place in a park and dig a hole, or get a plastic bag and throw it away.

Just to be clear, that is still illegal.

> There’s no excuse for leaving feces on the sidewalk.

I agree. People shitting right on the sidewalk are probably in need of medical attention.

> Sorry, but “don’t shit in the common area” has been table stakes for participating in human society since the beginning of time.

You know that people used to empty their chamber pots on the street right? You know India is undergoing a campaign right now to decrease ubiquitous public defecation and that involves building a million plus toilets?

> Even in a hunter gatherer society someone taking a dump next to the campfire would be rightly ostracized.

Probably. I don't think they'd lock you in a cage for it though.

From the point of view of a little web site owner, Google certainly has a weird behavior. It comes several times per day (sometimes 20 times per day) even if a robot.txt tells to come only every 7 days (it's a blog with news every four days on average).

Petalsearch (Huawei) indexing rate is half of Google, Apple and Bing half of Petalsearch, Yandex half of Bing. The other search engines respect the robot.txt.

I wonder how much energy and Internet capacity is wasted because of Google and PetalSearch indexing.

Casual reminder that 9/10 phishing scam domains you come across will be hosted on NameCheap and the company couldn't care less, probably too valuable as revenue. This is so well known that blackhat discussions recommend NameCheap as the registrar of choice. Maybe they exploit vulnerabilities like this one.

If the CTO or CEO or whatever C-level comes on here to do damage control every now and then tries to disagree (probably citing how big their $3/hour Eastern European legal team is) keep in mind it's all PR junk and the proof is in the pudding. It's been years -- no action, no change. Just more scams.
Honestly, if there have been decades of efforts and it’s still this bad, that’s even less motivation to give them money.

It’s like: if you’re a large manufacturer, would you prefer investing in a city where government officials pocket the cash and roads don’t exist but with handwavy excuses that something might improve with a little more cash, or invest literally anywhere else where the roads improve every year and things are getting cleaner?

Gimp seems to be spinning its tires for infinity. I’ve tried it once a year or so for 15 years. It hasn’t changed much. It’s incredible. Almost no company is going to throw them cash and it’s obvious why.

Thanks for the tip!

If you don't mind a follow-up question: what's a gentle transition from the HHKB's Topre switches into something more popular in the mechanical keyboard community? I honestly have very little intuition about the color-naming scheme for switches.
I've never had a Cherry or Kailh switch go bad on me and I'm hard on gear generally. Are you talking about generic switches, if not, how do you do it? Wreck them I mean, I've never heard this complaint before.

I'd had the circuit board fail, two months out of warranty, and the ErgoDoxEZ guy refused to replace it. But that's on his factory's shoddy workmanship, not mechanical keyboards generally.
Understanding Scaling Laws for Recommendation Models
At root is that an individualist culture exposes itself as seriously broken in the public space. There can be no public good if the individual always comes first.

Paid high tech street toilets are a logical conclusion of a culture with little shared public good. The human rights and priority of the individual is respected and maintained.

Public toilets will go away as the public goes away.
First you have to know what you're actually up against. It's not a particular human behavior that is to blame, but stupidity itself. Some people are total morons and the behavior you're complaining against is merely a consequence of that. You can't defeat stupidity, it's a nature thing.

You can suppress it though. Public shaming, forced fines, get violent with them... All these things work to certain degree and will get you through the day. But again - you're not solving the problem, you're just suppressing. Stupidity is ultimately unsolvable, because nature; and that is why all those utopic dreams always fail with impressive death counts.

“Is there a heuristic we might use to identify and flag questionable papers?”
How much market share did these alternatives take?

With few exceptions the Desktop OSS apps are simply inferior to commercial options because UX requires consistency requires both an organization that is hard to form in OSS, and it requires extreme amounts of dull repetitive work of specific roles (graphic/interaction designers) that are still rare in OSS.

Few of the larger applications in the commercial column will be significantly replaced by the ones in the OSS column or a future OSS alternative.

> All software will be open source, and no one will make money with software.

Most software is boring niche business software. Most developers work on software that most people will never hear about. And no one would ever create it unless it is to pay their bills.
Not yet, but that's on my todolist. I recommend this list: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted

In general I only select services that are easy and fast to install and backup and have a nice UX so it won't go unused. I always install a service into a virtual machine first and take notes about the process. If there are any red flags like too complicated configration, missing documentation, heavy reasource usage, crippleware aka paywalling core features, then I just skip it and move on the next one.

After the service has proven itself trustworthy and useful, it's nice to start contributing to the project too. Everybody wins. And I gotta say, there are some incredible open-source software out there.

The fact it’s been struggling to get widespread support for decades and there’s always someone complaining about the UI is a sign.

"Roughly equal solid empirical evidence in astrology" feels like a very strong citation needed. Where's astrology's "you can reduce inflation by raising the interest rate" or "actually the Phillips Curve empirical relationship won't remain stable when used as a policymaking tool, here's why..."?

This whole argument is roughly "lol, these computer people call themselves scientists and yet my computer has bugs in it".
Yeah, the mechanical keyboard community definitely have specific designs they like and if you're not into the same things then there's not a lot of choice.

I like having a built in USB hub for example. The keyboard is the perfect place to plug memory sticks, hardware wallets, mouse (charge or wireless dongle), utf key. My ideal keyboard probably has at least 3 usb ports on it. The closest I've got so far is the das keyboard with 2.

It's a consequence of a political machine and culture which tolerates it.

True, but the quote is probable from Marthe Troly-Curtin [1]

https://quoteinvestigator.com/2010/06/11/time-you-enjoy/
Mondragon is a worker co-op, Fonterra is a dairy co-op, which is a type of producer co-op. So I think they mean that Mondragon is the largest worker co-op in the world.
The law forbidding selling or consuming pot was not uncostitutional nor was it a violation of human rights. It was just a controversial law that was changed.

If you approve of a "rebellion" against this law, as opposed to just some democratic change of legislation, I wonder how would you handle other regulative norms... If the US decides to allow selling Kinder eggs should we reward the previous smugglers?

Of course this assumes that you don't expand your definition of "human rights" to include the absolute right of consuming cannabis. But, you see, it's difficult enough to agree that the right not to be killed for your religion is a fundamental human right. We got there thankfully but not without hiccups. When you expand "human rights" to include everything you want you are making that expression controversial end devoid of value - because less and less people will agree with you.
I have read the article before, and while yes, you are right that the article is overkill for people who simply just want to put their thoughts and writings online, but to people who want to write to become famous and have an influence in their field and shit, then this is one great article.
There’s a couple of easy explanations for this 1) It’s her field of expertise 2) There aren’t any other frontiers of science where so much publicity and money is being spent on stuff that doesn’t look like it will ever advance science.

Early electronic instruments, particularly before the 1980s had tuning all over the place, and you would have to wait 30 minutes to get anything resembling stability, even then nothing was guaranteed.

As someone who lives in a not exactly big but also not quite small city that I wouldn't quite call inaka but my wife does, I've never seen this logo, and not much about SDGs around here, but boy is it all over the media. I remember checking out when the initiative started because I hadn't heard about it even once before suddenly you couldn't spend a day without hearing about it. IIRC, it started in 2014, and somehow, Japan suddenly woke up a year or two ago.
I'd say it is. As in, a significant part of the reason men are likely to commit more crimes than women is due to social expectations around how men should act vs how women should. But there's no denying significant biological differences play a part too. The problem with trying to discern whether biological differences play a part in explaining incarceration rates between different "races" is there's no reliable method for objectively determining someone's race.

Well, it is enumerative geometry: counting things. One would expect (a priori, not necessarily) that any method to give an answer to the problem can be used to count. That is, it is programmable.

Not trying to argue, just to specify the type of result.
They'll take down a single domain and pretend to not know how to take down the other 300 registered on the same user's account.

The argument that NameCheap (and its supporters) provide is that this is a good thing that makes them stay because NameCheap shouldn't be policing domains or some other free speech nonsense ignoring that this is pure facilitation of crime. Ignoring that this is blatantly violating their own T&Cs and the ICANN guidelines.
