Absolute pitch is always held up as some kind of magical ideal but really this just gets in the way. I wish there was more information on training your relative pitch as a useful musical skill. After training I was able to do basic pitch related take like distinguish between major or minor and recognize the notes in a scale with fair accuracy. These skills are way more useful than plucking a Bb out of mid air
This is definitely untrue and based on false assumptions. While many certainly are, "most" is an egregious overestimation.
I've never used KeePass myself but for a few years it seemed like situation with Mac clients was something of a rotating door, with the client or fork that was most up to date changing constantly… seemed pretty easy to lose track of, with is not great for something where staying up to date is important.
I want terminal editor that does not need me remembering keyboard shortcuts to edit things. Mouse should be optional, and editing without mouse should be the default. But every editing operation should be easy to access and sensible - You don't have to read any docs to navigate/edit/search/replace.

When opening that editor, you should not be greeted with tutorial. It should be simple to do things so that tutorial is not even necessary.

You can say, I want VSCode that runs in terminal, but one that does not hog my cpu/memory. It should feels instant to do anything, without any loading time if possible.
The usual caveat that it's meant to measure a "hardship index" for companies relocating workers. I wouldn't use it as a measure for where to best move to as there are many factors it doesn't measure (such as how good the job market is, how expensive cost of living is, etc)- aside from maybe preferring cities in the approximate top (80+ out of 100), which is mostly "nice" cities in the developed world (no surprise there).

Assuming you're anyway not contemplating moving to Nairobi or Tehran I don't think this really gives much useful info as you can't really say you'd like life in a city with a slightly better score than another, it only matter if the gap is large.

E.g. I spent 8 years living in Vienna followed by 10 years in Berlin (a bit further below in the rating) and I don't feel my quality of life is at all lower here (I much prefer living in Berlin)- the main difference I notice is that Vienna is much better at cleaning up the trash from public spaces than Berlin, and a smaller city is generally easier to navigate.
We remove our shoes inside. But a carpet cleaner told me that being barefoot inside is worse than wearing outside shoes due to the oils in your feet. I looked this up and it seems to bear some weight. So now we have to wear socks.

I don't know why anyone would subscribe at all.

I think it was 7 or 8 years ago, I bought it for $50 (since moved on to another)... but it was a one-time payment with on-going rights.

Y'all have some pathologically high tolerance to subscription load or something.

For the record, I had to give up on it when they offered no self-hosted sync mechanisms... I don't trust the cloud services with my passwords, even if they are encrypted. And then I found the forum comment where they were bitching about webdav, and I just knew that it was never not going to be a shitshow.

writing down passwords isn't equivalent to owning a machine shop and having the skilled labor required to facilitate manufacture of a door lock, regardless of how hard the companies that profit from selling these kind of services tell you it might be.
You’re right about the syntax becoming extremely tedious. Eventually you wind up doing waaaay too many function pointer casts and typedefs.

The appeal of this approach, to me, is mostly pedagogic rather than practical: stuff designed for OOP isn’t generally going to let you control struct layout to the degree that C will, making it harder to get your hands dirty and learn core concepts.
The reason this happens is because most people just want to know what to do next, and not have to fret over higher order problems which A) require deeper expertise and reflection to analyze and B) they may not have the agency and influence to improve anyway. This leaves the door open to the snake oil salesmen ("agile" consultants) who promise the One True Way™.

The reality is that well-tuned processes can reduce cognitive load in day-to-day work, freeing up mental cycles for higher level problems. But process also adds overhead and rigidity, so it needs to be tuned to the environment at hand and reevaluated regularly. This can't be done be done by a drive-by consultant or a detached manager, it requires boots on the ground context and applied expertise to relate the day-to-day reality to the highest order business goals. Anything short of that is MBAs and juniors clinging to an arbitrary process as justification for why they are delivering adequate, but not exceptional results.
Specialist and generalist don’t describe something you can “be.” Think in terms of skills that will likely have value over some long term. I don’t think AI will eliminate all programmers, system admins, security experts, database administrators. AI won’t have deep domain expertise.

As future LLMs train on piles of content generated by previous iterations their abilities will revert to the mean, making them no more competent than a mediocre human.

Instead of worrying about what to “be” or what might happen with AI in the future, concentrate on developing valuable skills you can put to use now. Experience and domain knowledge will continue to count for something.

Even with some knowledge of those things, it's hard to rationalize inherent rights with what we do to noncitizens. Everybody has these rights, but for some reason the Bill of Rights only protects the rights of Americans. Pretty easy to mistake that as the Bill of Rights granting rights.

To hijack discussion, here's another quirk of mapping: Border disputes can be uplifted into state law. Google adjusts how it renders maps into IN economy IPs because its illegal to show maps about Kashmir which imply Pakistan's claims over the territory are legitimate.

I've had to adjust slide-ware for use in the Indian subcontinent.

A different kind of "distortion" but very real.

Projections can be complicated. I value mapping tools which let you re-center a global map off 0° Longitude. I also value maps which manage to fit all of the Pac-rim island economies into some kind of view: No way is land mass or distance to scale, to usefully show this region.

If you believe maps, Hawaii is almost as big as Alaska and just offshore of the Catalina Islands. It also seems to have a very squared-off moat, maybe its a border wall...

They miss a lot of factors, and are mostly just for companies to compare "hardship allowances" for relocating workers. It doesn't track a lot of factors that would matter to an individual moving themselves.

This is just votes for representation in local government which is already something like a smoothing function over a largely stochastic process.

I'm assuming that in the long run the idea is that if you're developing for the platform you own one (or your company does). The labs are a bridge for the first batch of developers, not Apple's long-term plan.

Well worth watching. And, upvote for keeping people reminded of Louis Pouzin.
You can still use a dedicated diff tool for these situations if they come up regularly. In my experience they are better than vim anyhow.
While Vincent Cerf and Bob Kahn are often credited as the inventors of TCP/IP, the original idea of packet switching and the concept of internetworking were indeed influenced by the work of Louis Pouzin and the French Cyclades Network. However, in their interviews and public statements, Cerf and Kahn may not have explicitly mentioned or credited Pouzin's contributions to the development of TCP/IP.

It sounds like none of those things have an owner who is tasked with keeping them up to date and correct. All the work that needs to be done needs to have a specific well—documented owner, otherwise diffusion of responsibility ensures that it will eventually fall through the cracks.
It feels like Musk became a celebrity, then a social media celeb at that, and has fully committed to the bit. He is more online than man. He has the same mannerisms and methods as a second-rate vBulletin troll- or a hated mod- except he is also the most wealthy man on the planet, and the CEO of multiple multinationals.

This degeneration is more amazing to watch than the rise of the last president, because everyone knew Trump was a limelight-seeking self-promoter since the ‘80s. Whereas Musk sold himself as the smart person’s (perhaps not so smart, eh?) idea of a smart person. I wonder what his once-admirers think of that gloss falling off the chassis.
The years were when I concluded it was possible they would eventually end humanity, not the year I thought it would happen.

Vermillion is the best app in this space I think. I get to paint with oil paints, and have nothing to clean up and no major expenses like buying more paint.

And with a browser in place, I can watch painting tutorials while actually painting, and not worry that I dont own a specific brush or other tool.

It's awesome. It's on Steam for anything that supports SteamVR or PCVR, and on the Quest store for Meta devices.

This phenomenon goes far beyond drugs. Contemporary society has explicit or implicit taboos on anything related to expanding or altering human consciousness, to the extent that such topics have essentially vanished from both the mainstream press and academia.

I've been reading a lot of literature from the late 19th/early 20th century over the past few years. The sheer breadth of ideas that were being casually discussed in magazines that regular, educated people subscribed to is astonishing. Drugs, hypnosis/mesmerism, meditation, trance, new religious movements, weird fasting regimens, transcendental experiences in nature, mysticism. That stuff has disappeared from public discourse today, along with many other radical ideas that could apparently just be talked about over coffee back then, without anyone batting an eyelash.
> But then I discovered Usenet and the - I don't know exactly how to describe it - the cult of undefined behavior, and the people who care only about standards and not reality.

I don't understand what you tried to say. The standard specifies how the language actually works, and therefore what developers can reliably do with it. How exactly do you see this as a break from reality?
I think the idea is that a well made app in this domain would make the human teacher redundant.

What's the difference, between a function with multiple entry points, and several very similar functions? Sharing of instructions for a more compact image? That could be a compiler optimization.

A work around would be to put most of the body into a macro which is expanded into multiple functions that have alternative entry means.

C returns multiple values via structs; e.g. see the standard library functions div and ldiv.

Coroutines can be hacked in C. I've hacked delimited continuations in C; they work by copying sections of the stack out to a heap-allocated object, which is restored to the current stack top when the continuation is resumed.

Hacking coroutines in C was a popular sport in the 1980's and 90's.

Exception handling can be implemented in C. I wrote a library for that a quarter century ago; it is used in Wireshark. More recently I created a Lisp language which has exception handling; it's rooted in the C one.
I'm an AR skeptic but I appreciated Benedict Evans's take on Apple's strategy here:

> Meta, today, has roughly the right price and is working forward to the right device: Apple has started with the right device and will work back to the right price. Meta is trying to catalyse an ecosystem while we wait for the right hardware — Apple is trying to catalyse an ecosystem while we wait for the right price. So the Vision is a device pulled forward from years into the future, at a price that reflects that. It’s as though Apple had decided to sell the 2007 iPhone in 2002 — what would the price have been?

> Why? The Turing machine has no concept of numeric values, it only knows about the length of whatever the input is.

That's irrelevant. We are interested in addition, or multiplication, or whatever, which is an operation between numbers (values), and it can be faster or slower depending on which numerals (encoding) are used.

> But the complexity relative to the numerical value is not even well-defined, since it _depends_ on the choice of the encoding.

Yes it depends on the encoding, no it is of course well-defined. You can measure two different algorithms which use two different encodings, relative to the same thing, the value.

> complexity is _always_ measured relative to the length of the input

That's simply not true. There is even a Wikipedia article about it. Even if it calls it "pseudo".

> But _the numeral is not the input_, its _encoding_ is

A numeral is an encoding of a number.

Life of Pi was very memorable in my childhood. The imagery in that book captured my young imagination. I thought about that book a lot. I feel like it contributed something meaningful, in that it’s ok to not take life too seriously.
This is all true but it can be a little bit of survivor ship bias at play. Look at all the technology conferences over the last 40 years and for the most part you will see a grave yard of tens of thousand of ideas that looks promising but ended up going nowhere - sometimes simply due to being out maneuvered business wise.

Bill Gates once said that in some ways Microsoft was lucky to be as succesful as they where, that they had compititors that had better products but to Microsofts luck, could never get a foothold in the market.

Maybe Apple Vision is the future but it could also just end up as another path not taken on the trash heap of history. Time will tell.
Helix has splits and the issue you linked for side-by-side diffs is still open!
This might be Germany specific, I don't know. People seem to order stuff, use it, then send it back, and Amazon sells it as new (which it isn't - just like cars, you buy it and drive it, it's a used car).

You know, open-mindedness and being curious about new things is part of the hacker ethos. If you are dismissing something without even experiencing it, based on nothing other than preconceived notions about it, maybe you aren’t really a hacker in the true sense of the word? Just a thought.
I haven't myself ever been relocated as a worker, but when my brother (while working for one of the US tech giants) was relocated he still had to pay rent & other expenses in the new city himself, the company just found them housing and paid for the cost of the relocation itself ("just", that's still a lot, but what you describe sounds more like what high-level government officials get).
