The early days of synth, I would have picked Klaus Schulze as a close analogy, or maybe Brian Eno, The Pearl/Late October.
it depends on their previous relationship. if they have worked together before then the test should be redundant. so why should i feel bothered that they didn't have to do a test?
Very neat btw, I think this would benefit greatly from a well edited video walking through your system.
Thanks for releasing your work, this is useful and interesting.
The backlash isn't against proper DRY (concerned with single source of truth) but fake DRY (concerned with syntactically-similiar code).

Immense disdain does accurately describe how I feel towards whatever it is happens in corporate codebases. No, creating layers upon layers of indirection via classes is not ok, no matter what your SOLID guru tells you. Best practices, DRY, and SOLID are just excuses.
In order for it to fully make sense, you will need to study it from multiple angles. Hooktheory.com, books, and lots of YouTube videos will get you there over the course of 1-10 years. Ultimately, you won't understand music theory without trying to write a lot of your own music. It's like programming: you can read a book about JavaScript, but if you never wrote software and you never plan to, there's simply no way to actually understand the book.

An explanation of how this application might work (haven't verified from the source or letting it run long enough): let's say it chooses a subset of notes ("scale degrees") from a minor key, probably chosen at random. A subset of 5 or fewer notes from a scale (a pentatonic scale) will constrain the possible space of melodies so that most configurations will sound good. Even fewer and you get a more predictably pleasant (but perhaps less interesting) result. For instance, the notes that comprise the root chord will always sound good when played in any order. Acid lines typically suggest some kind of minor chord by playing an arpeggio (usually a repetitive melody consisting entirely of notes from a particular chord).

Also, a subset of notes from one scale are always going to be present in another scale. You can transition (modulate) from one scale to another by having a section use a shared subset of notes, then switching to the new one. In this manner, you can have a single piece of music traverse all possible scales (in acid techno, almost entirely minor scales).
Well, std::array is meant to be a direct replacement for what jenadine mentioned, the C style of doing static arrays. I think under the hood it takes over the array initialization syntax as well (or array initialization of objects got added to the standard to support std::array?) and IIRC there are some functions that are simply unavailable to std::array because of its array based construction.

I don't remember exactly what but I have run into it before, I think the iterator implementation is a raw pointer and that breaks the interface expectations a bit?
Maxwell's theory is not hard to understand--once you have the proper tools.

The problem is that because of trying to cram a degree into 4 years, you wind up having a class on electromagnetics without any understanding of vector fields.

Electrical engineering is particularly bad about this. You never get exposed to the Hamiltonian formulations of classical mechanics, and you never get exposed to vector analysis. Consequently, you are stuck with the Heaviside-Hertz pedagogy with silly things like "displacement current" and stupid, weird-ass integration contours (which don't work in motors, LOL)--and the attendant difficulty in understanding Maxwell's theory.

However, if you have vector analysis and fields, then you can understand formulations like Carver Mead's "Collective Electrodynamics": https://www.amazon.com/Collective-Electrodynamics-Quantum-Fo...

Suddenly, emag is a whole lot more straightforward to understand. It's not EASY as it's very math heavy, but it has a lot fewer weird things that are just "we say it works."
The old system is useful for very common things like cooking, because it's a Duodecimal system and you can more easily do fractions in your head. I get it it's funny "the Americans don't like science", but it's actually pretty far from the truth.

I have a habit of measuring ground distance in meters, for example, because I was in the (US) Army and yes we measured those things in meters/kilometers. But other things are not measured like that.

Measuring systems are only useful if they are, well, easy. And some systems are more easy in certain circumstances than others. Which is to say, it's easy to get used to a meter being a pace (tie a meter long string to your ankles).
Interest rates go up. Layoffs are the inevitable result. This is the standard Fed cycle, isn’t it? It’s not extraordinary.

I was taught that generally the fed raises rates and markets go up, the Fed flattens and markets go up, then feds drop interest rates and markets drop and unemployment goes through the roof.

Is that not we expect?
I was really confused by your second paragraph until I did some Googling. You're referring to Syntex, which developed an early contraceptive pill. And the chemical was derived from a naturally occurring one found in yams.

Thanks for the pointer -- I learned something.

Better than Python?

15 years ago I would have agreed. Today, Python is a "gateway" to programming that is also the real thing.

It's like one of those old languages designed for beginners to learn coding... and then you can continue to use the same language for your entire professional career as a software engineer, to build just about any production-ready application.

Ruby is a beautiful language, but unless you are going to be working with Rails, it's not a very practical language to build something in. And I don't think telling a beginner "just learn Ruby for now, but once you're actually ready to write your first useful program, you're probably going to have to learn another language" is very motivating.
Very well, and striped down kernels run on hardware with even less resources today (embedded systems) than 3.1 minimum requirements. If a platform has lost support, and there's sufficient money in it to justify it, you can always go back in time to an older kernel. What really sucks is when a platform vendor maintains their own tree and it gets lost to time.

The real pain is populating the userspace if you need more than just busybox.

I mean, I think it's less that Nintendo doesnt want to do it and more that they don't fit with how Pokemon is run. Animal Crossing is one of Nintendo's 5 great pillars now and I'm sure all of that (except perhaps survival elements) would fit in fine. All that in a pokemon game sounds like the gimmick of the generation that pokemon's had since gen 3 (contests, Pokestar studio, pokemon amie, etc.).

>the models are nicer with more unique animations than anything GameFreak has put out yet, too.

ehh, I'm not sure I agree. this is a huge asethetic vs. fidelity argument. And honestly the pokemon models aren't even that bad when you look through the files.

I looked through the pals and they just feel so generic, like most other monster raising compettiors.
Dynamically allocated static array might be closer to truth for what they implemented, I think.
Each job consists of tasks or times that are fun. They are the reason for some jobs to be called dream jobs. But they all come with some downsides.

That's why the purpose, the reason why you take that job should be the main driver to make you happy. And the purpose can be anything from financial goals to social or family goals. It just depends on what you prioritize and which job then fits that priority.
That looks delicious! Pasta noob here. Will have to look for it next time.

All these noodle names are so hard to remember for someone who doesn't speak the language (Italian?) Like if these were just called corkscrew noodles, they'd be easier to remember and find.

To this day I still don't really understand how linguini and fettucini are different, but I just like them because they're flat.
i wonder if further progress in physics will require abandoning the maxwellian paradigm in the same way that maxwell had to abandon the newtonian paradigm? presumably for something even further removed from everyday experience. dyson must have thought about that possibility, but evidently at least at the time of this paper he rejected it. i'd like to read his reasoning

unrelatedly, i feel like i kind of understand maxwell's theory in terms of vector analysis, but the clifford algebra formulation is still beyond me. it sure looks a lot simpler

The HP 1501 Page Mill building is where Facebook went from nine small offices in downtown PA to their first actual campus. The neighbors were furious because of all the traffic they were about to get so the city implemented their two hour parking restrictions nearby. After FB moved to Menlo Park (one of Sun’s old campuses), the 1501 building was demolished and turned into housing.
Sorry for my ignorance, but how does it work?

I understand that Vision is an Apple framework, but does it mean that if you are on MacOS, you can just call `import Vision` and it just works? No need to install any package/library as a wrapper? Didn't see anything special in setup.cfg or readme about the setup.
I hear you. Consistency is key. Scheduling a race few months in the future can clarify the immediate 'why' - the big picture is not the race but health. The path is the goal, really. This becomes clearer with consistent training. Like with anything, progressive overload comes naturally as consistent training builds endurance and an/aerobic capacity. You just operate at the increasing levels of effort your body and mind can handle. Consult your doctor if any health concerns arise as you progress and observe your body. Good luck, I'm off to my morning run!
> In Aviation, Imperial units are used for altitude, distance and speed.

In my experience, US pilots usually use feet for altitude, but use nautical miles for distance and knots for speed, not standard Imperial units.
No, it wasn't. That's the author misreading their source; see the second paragraph. Nothing in that article supports the first paragraph's assertion.

It’s going to spread to the little people too. Once deepfake technology proliferates to the point where anyone can train and run a model on consumer hardware using photos and videos from someone’s social media profile, what do you think the boys at school are going to do with it?

This shows the model architecture, be it transformer, Mamba, SSM or RWKV - doesn't really matter when compared to the impact of the training set. We're spending too much time debating models when we should be talking about language data, a reservoir of human experience won at great sacrifice by humanity.

And the same data when used to train humans creates modern capable people. Alone, without society and language, we would be mere shadows of ourselves. What does it say when AI acquires so many capabilities from language data? maybe intelligence was not centered in the brain. It's a social process.
My company didn’t believe in peer feedback, but only manager’s.
My manager used to absent-minded in almost all the places. So much, that he himself wasn’t aware of requirements.
But someone had to take the blame. And it was turned on me. I protested and got fired.

In the end, the article somehow protects individuals giving out review but I totally blame them for unfair review. As a manager it’s their responsibility to take notes and remain aware of things. This will allow them to see throw shallow goals one of them being “delivery”.

Thanks for asking! I went to music theory specifically because I didn't want to produce anything before I analyze enough music (like, thousands of compositions). That is, I didn't want to talk music and do marketing on my compositions until I learn it on a level of B2, at least.

I personally felt very dumb from all guides on how to start making music in an hour. I felt like I've given a nice caligraphy pen (and a helium balloon) to say something, yet I haven't read even anything in the language that I'm gonna be talking in. Should I, at the bare minimum, understand any structural context of what was done before me? How prog rock was done, on a level of notes (or timbres)? Bulgarian folk songs? Turkish improvisation? That kind of stuff.

I like it when people normalize that "simply" doing music theory as opposed to composition/production is "just fine". A "Note Doctors" podcast is great in this: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/note-doctors/id1530735...

(I admit it's a nerdy and very corner-case road. I come from a background of learning many languages as a hobby, so I understand why I'm broken the way I am. I appreciate it when people can "just" compose, unlike me.)
>But it would be wrong--and unfair--if right-sized people were denied or discouraged from aggressive treatment because the population as a whole had other health issues.

I agree. Public health professionals should not engage in deceit in the name of the public good. Utilitarian arguments may rationalize net benefit on average, but that comes with winners and losers. The goal should be clarity of communication, even if it is sub-optimal.
Speed throttling means the car has to know the posted speed limit. So will it be illegal to have a car in California without a GPS tracking your location in real-time?

Or will it simply be illegal to have a car without cameras tracking everywhere you go, to read speed limit signs?
> The moral of this story is that modesty is not always a virtue. Maxwell and Mendel were
both excessively modest. Mendel's modesty setback the progress of biology by fifty years.
Maxwell's modesty setback the progress of physics by twenty years. It is better for the
progress of science if people who make great discoveries are not too modest to blow their
own trumpets. If Maxwell had had an ego like Galileo or Newton, he would have made sure
that his work was not ignored. Maxwell was as great a scientist as Newton and a far more
agreeable character. But it was unfortunate that he did not begin the presidential address in
Liverpool with words like those that Newton used to introduce the third volume of his
Principia Mathematica, “It remains that, from the same principles, I now demonstrate the
frame of the system of the world”. Newton did not refer to his law of universal gravitation as
“another theory of gravitation which I prefer”

It's a good thing Maxwell is not alive and that he did not follow Dyson's advice, lest Hacker News accuses him of attempting to abuse the attention economy and promote his research like a salesman.

My friends joined a startup I was working at. I was their manager.

I had to lay them off (along with myself shortly afterward) in less than a year because our founder let me hire them when we didn't have enough money.

They landed on their feet but it still hurt.

I did a few other things wrong before that. I had a lot to learn. Things I've regretted and learned from.

From what I'm reading, it wasn't as decisive as "costing Germany the war".

Instead if would have delayed D-day and other operations by a year or more but the benefit is arguably on the side of Germany because both the Soviet Union (making Germany "pay") and the US (first use of the atomic bomb there?) had more sinister intentions.

Depends on how advanced. I had a relatively fast growing papillary thyroid cancer that was already 3cm and spread to my lymph nodes.

My friend was trying to make a platform that would generate an App and Website for customers. He was doing the web work and his partner was doing the iOS work. One time talking to him I spoke about an Android app I had to make for my university degree. He asked if I wanted to join.

I must admit, the idea of joining a startup so young was very attractive and all I could think about was the dollar signs that would appear when I finally sold my equity.

After six months of work I never even got a contract, never saw a dime for any of my work. I stayed for so long due to naivety. Eventually I realized it wasn't going anywhere, and that was more due to design decisions and lack of response to feedback of concerns I had.

We talk occasionally still. I harbour no ill-will to him and I think he feels the same way, although we were never particularly close to begin with.

The start-up pivoted focus a few times to different apps and ideas but ultimately shut down. I am not sure what they do these days.

As a dad I don't think I'd ever take the chance on a startup again. I need to be certain that I can pay for food for my kids. But when they leave home I might be willing to join another startup. Especially now that I have a less then ideal experience under my belt to know what to look out for.

i prefer calling this concept by its original name, "metafont", in part because "variable font" is sometimes used as lazy shorthand for "variable-pitch font", i.e. proportional rather than fixed-pitch like a typewriter. on the other hand, "metafont" is also the name of a particular piece of free software for this purpose
