I generate an n-dimensional just intonation pitch lattice, based on my study of the work of Ben Johnston.

I like it because it’s kind of small, but tests several aspects of working in the language.

* the program needs support for several numeric types: integers, floats and rationals.
* several basic math algorithms are needed, which will either test the std lib, how to use the package manager, or other language constructs as I pipeline implement them
* how easy is it to write/run tests

Here’s one version in Rust, which links to clojure, cl versions. Want to try it with Julia next due to the built-in support for rationals.

Well, it's efficient if you compare it with the even newer (and even less efficient) generation of IDEs based on browser technology. Haven't used NetBeans in a while, but JetBrains are doing their very best to hide Java from you - their products come with their own (probably customized) OpenJDK so you don't have to have Java installed etc.

We love to gloss over the implementation phase of design and valorize the concept phase.

I theorize it’s because implementation is a lot more work, and usually lacks a singular hero figure. We make exceptions when there is; see Woz.
Zawinski's Law of Software Envelopment, also known as Zawinski's Law, states:

Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail. Those programs which cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can.
Hopefully we'll have a blog post soon talking about this, which will be more informative than my (necessarily short) tweet.
That depends on the company. Some companies spend a lot more on tech than others. CEOs tend to be aware of where the high costs are, so if your company spends a lot on Tech, I could see the CEO knowing at least something about it.
Depends on the concept I'm trying to learn.

In this context, "design" means working out the key parameters of the airplane: takeoff weight, length, wing span, wing sweep, engine thrust, etc. Even today aerospace engineers learn how to do this first cut analysis using various approximations and rules of thumb. Still impressive, especially before computers, but the article isn't referring to a build-ready blueprint.

No sane seller is going to accept a check or MO for something of value - too high a chance for scams.

I suspect most problems like you've encountered are bank policy due to increasingly stringent anti-money-laundering regulations. But, not sure how "use a check" is helpful since nobody would every accept one.

Do PayPal or Venmo allow large transactions? That might be the best option today?

The major challenge to developing a robust philosophical model of privacy protection isn't the possible worst-case scenario. It's how to weigh the trade-offs of the worst case scenario versus the benefits of the average case scenario. Because when one is in the loop, i.e. when data aggregation is working in one's favor, the benefits are strong and direct.

Modern high quality spam filtering is based on big data analysis of what spam looks like. Modern voice recognition is based off of millions of samples of queries in real world scenarios. Much of the power of the modern internet comes from the ability to aggregate data from distributed sources, centralize it, analyze it, and act on analysis, and those capacities aren't limited to the corporations doing the aggregation.

So the question becomes not whether one values privacy or not. It becomes how one values privacy relative to the other things one values... Cheap hotel rooms, information on neighborhoods, public and private accountability, the time it will take to cure cancer. All of these benefit from data aggregation and centralization.

One should consider worst case scenarios, but stopping at that consideration is like deciding not to invent the airplane because somebody could crash it into a building some day.

I also make use of “song radio”, i.e. auto-generate a playlist based on a single song.

I might call your method “playlist radio”, and I don’t use it as often.

However, judging by how many songs on these recommender radios that I’ve already liked, I think that recommendations are somehow always based on a vector.
> WebAssembly programs are sandboxed and isolated from one another and from the host, so they can’t read or write external regions of memory, transfer control to arbitrary code in the process, or freely access the network and filesystem. This makes it safe to run untrusted WebAssembly programs: they cannot escape the sandbox to steal private data from elsewhere on your laptop or run a botnet on your servers.

> the government may choose to accept US dollars or British pounds (or goats, or whatever they like) as tender.

But the EU must accept Euros. They're not required to accept newly invented American currency or American change. The only reason that the USD isn't bitcoin is because the US government is required to accept it for taxes, and any debt or fine decided by US courts is considered settled if it is paid in US dollars e.g. you can't demand that someone who killed your goats pay off the court judgement in goats.
I'm currently writing a Java desktop app. I thought about using electron and others, but outside Qt, which seems like the "best framework", there isn't something without tradeoffs. Starting with JavaFX was quite simple (having a Java background helps). What I miss is the level documentation that you can typically find for Java.

At step 4, my default has always been "Please work with your financial institution to reverse the transaction." and then don't touch the money they've sent. Not touching the money and saying you are completely willing to return it but want to ensure it follows the correct process through the financial institution will protect you legally should it be an actual accident, and if it is a scam it'll disappear on its own when the scam runs out of time (bank determines you were sent money through a forged check and reverses it or something similar). Ignore any sob stories about how they need the money, the more convincing the sob story the more likely it is a scam to begin with.

Every time I hear these arguments I just think "buy gold" (or other precious metals) and be done with it. It weighs a lot but I feel its value will never really diminish, even in a post apocalyptic setting. At some point someone will trade for rare shiny metal that has practical uses beyond just being rare and shiny (e.g. anti corrosion coatings.) Whereas government issued money might be useful as toilet paper and crypto a distant memory of failed technological promises.

Having been on both sides of the peer review process in my field (Theoretical Physics), I say we should completely abolish it. Just publish the papers on the preprint archives. Some will be bad, some will be good, and you will know the impact of a paper after 10 years, nothing different from how it is now. Currently the very big majority of the effort in the reviews (on both sides of the process) is wasted time.

I used to work in wealth management, I worked in research but once you see how this stuff actually works...why?

The issue with HSBC wasn't related to them not caring enough, what happened is that some employees in their Mexican office essentially went rogue. HSBC can't blackmail their staff, money launderers can. HSBC can't bribe their staff with suitcases full of cash, money launderers can. HSBC can't threaten to execute your kids, money launderers can.

And, again, even if you assume this all isn't true...banks do not have the investigatory powers. People who want to launder money do not turn up a bank with a briefcase full of cash, and wink repeatedly at the cashier when handing it over...they put substantial resources in disguising the source, and working out where the gaps are (with HSBC, it was currency exchange...this has been a weak spot for decades because it is mostly used by large corporates and there is an assumption that AML happens somewhere else in the chain). Police stopped doing this job because it was too difficult...and they had the powers, why people think banks can do it is beyond me.

The stuff you read online about low integrity or not caring is just obvious nonsense (it wasn't why police failed in the first place, police cared a lot, they just weren't as good as the money launderers so blamed banks).
So we have:

M2 on N5P
A16 on N4
M3/A17 on N3E

> The U.S. tech giant will be the first to use TSMC's first generation of 3-nm technology, using it for some of its upcoming iPads, Nikkei Asia reported earlier.

What chip would those iPads use then? There are iPads with A and with M processors. I assume N3 is more expensive than N4 and so it would make more sense to have it in an iPad Pro with M processor. But it can't be M2 because we already have that chip and it's N5P. Would that be another hint at M2 Pro/Max/Ultra/Extreme chips on N3 and mean an iPad with M2 Pro? The latter seem a bit unlikely to me. The alternative could be an A16X but I don't see why Apple would do this. TSMC said N3E follows one year after N3 and so would come at the end of 2023. That would be in line with Apples 1.5 year upgrade cycle for M processors but it would be too late for the A17 unless Apple would move away from a September release. Really not sure how much credibility to give this Nikkei report.

Now with the A16 out, we could also see M2 Pro on N4. I believe it could make sense for Apple to differentiate the Pro/Max/... M chips from the standard M ones like they did with the iPhone 14 lineup.

Personally I still hope for M2 Pro on N3 in October.
Must everything be a conspiracy theory now?

If HN or some other forum is secretly infiltrated by Jetbrains staff, and they shadowban people mentioning other IDE's... then why does PyCharm seem like the #2 option (behind VS Code) in the Python community, and why does WebStorm seem even further behind in the Javascript and web dev world?

It just happens that IntelliJ is the market share leader for Java IDE's, followed by Eclipse (whose users trend older and corporate and less like to be active on forums at all). Developers are precious and toxic when it comes to their editor or IDE preferences, and often tend to downvote others.

It really is as simple and non-paranoid as that.
As “the” rockstar programmer fresh outta high school who started “the credit card at the gas pump” business, the entrepreneur too got too greedy and stingy with the payout despite me helping hiring the best development team … in 1980. And I was paid $10,000/month (1981 dollars), the least of all sr. programmers.

Platform was 8086, Motorola 6502, 16KB RAM, RS-488/RS-232, and assembly languages.

Surely enough, we broke away and and many of us joined Gasboy, Inc.

The budding star of a startup at many gas and oil conferences was then no more.

Had numerous offers (due to my networking of my business card being handed out at conference). Them recruiters were all initially shocked at my price tag but insisted then.

I instead went into 1980s primordial cybersecurity and never looked back.

40 years later, there is at least 6 of those credit card paypoints at every gas stations throughout the world.

And I am glad I did. I liked what I contributed to the safety of the computing world.

Off topic: And most designers are still an idiot, security-wise.

I feel it is fair to say that in many ways, the "architecture" of the B-52 was pioneered in Boeing's B-47 (first flight 17 December 1947 - seven months before these meetings.) This was a truly innovative aircraft, unlike many other contemporary designs (from Boeing as well as other manufacturers) which resembled their piston-engined precursors. The initial Boeing proposals for the B-52 look like throwbacks to that approach.

The article briefly mentions that Bob Withington, one of the members of this ad-hoc proposal-redesign team, played a role in the swept-wing design of the B-47, but is otherwise silent on its significance.

> I am skeptical about this claim. Here’s a recent video by a former pro on the subject of braking, for example, and he is squeezing on both brakes at the same time in most of the shots. [1] He does say that the front brake can be squeezed a lot harder, though, and is source of most of your braking power.

Note that he's stopping with both brakes and also moves his hips behind the seat, which makes tumble-forwards situation less likely. If you have enough strength you can go so low in that position that you will also slide on the front wheel as well on the back wheel.

Wouldn't the 'truth' of a statement be depending upon the axioms of where you are making the statement. Thus something proven is true and if the negation is proven it is false, and thus a system able to prove both is self contradictory and even basic logic no longer applies, thus we lose any real world application.

The opposite a system which has true statements we can't prove is still useful, even if there might be some problems we won't ever be able to solve. But a system which can prove both a statement and its negation loses meaning.

Or does it? Naïve set theory, despite Russel's paradox, and language in general, despite the local equivalent of "This statement is a lie." is still a useful tool, so maybe the same applies even to more formal systems?
