For people who are not aware, "functional harmony" means the extended system of tonal harmony that you hear in basically almost all music apart from a very few exceptions (eg free atonality, serialism etc but there aren't many compared to the very large amount of functional harmony out there).

It's "functional" because the chords in the harmony have the function of establishing key centres, moving towards and away from them, establishing transitions to remote key areas etc.

One of the best technical books about functional harmony is "Structural Functions of Harmony" by Arnold Schoenberg[1], which is much shorter than his "Harmonielehre" but really packed with interesting detail about key and chord relationships.

[1] Yes that Schoenberg but this isn't about serialism, it's about trying to explain all the harmony up to and including Mahler. Here is an online pdf of an early edition https://is.muni.cz/el/1421/podzim2007/VH_53/Schoenberg_Struc...

Some clarification and background.

The headline might be somewhat misleading if you do not read the article. It is not the federal state of Germany that is starting to switch to LibreOffice, but one of the member states of the federation: Schleswig-Holstein.

Shifting to LibreOffice is only one component of the the state's strategy towards a digitally sovereign IT workplace. You can read more about the other elements of this strategy here: https://www.schleswig-holstein.de/DE/landesregierung/themen/... (in German).

What is very interesting is the political background: Schleswig-Holstein is governed by a coalition of the Converservative party (CDU) and the Greens. In past decades it had been the Greens who where among the most driving forces for the adaption of open-source software and open standards in the public sphere, while the Conservativs primarily sided with big business. Now the latter seems to change gradually. Interesting times ...
If you're ever using Nix like you would Bazel, you likely would not want your derivation to be built via another Makefile. Indeed, that defeats the whole point of using Nix to fix this in the first place. As it is, mkDerivation + fetchurl is mostly used to build existing non-Nix software.

Nix at the very least provides first-class(-ish) build support for modern languages like Rust, Go and Python, but I don't think anyone has written an actual Nix builder for C/C++. A combo of Bazel + Nix is fairly common, though.

IMO, it's hard to say if Nix would "solve this attack", since we've only seen it being truly used on more modern things where the build complexity of the actual piece of code is not much more than the same few commands.

As for pulling down a poisoned tarball, I think the discussion here is rather about upstream projects using Nix to guarantee reproducible builds rather than Nix trying to fend off attacks downstream in Nixpkgs. In modern Nix (with Flakes), this would look something like being able to clone and run `nix build .#` and end up with the same output every time.
People may like the Tesla ownership experience, but it makes a bad rental experience because everything about the car is so different.

Nice! I use the Helm Component Chart [1] from the creators of DevSpace [2] for exact same reasons on personal projects. At a previous company, all of our dev, staging, production services used the Component Chart and it really helped with maintainability and significantly reduced the amount of YAML we had to write.

> If engineers were in charge, there would be no time zones

We might not specifically have time zones, but we'd have something that is equivalent.

We live on an approximately spherical world, its rotation is not tidal locked to its star, its rotational axis is not perpendicular to its orbital plane, we evolved to synchronize our biological rhythms including our sleep/wake cycle to local sunrise and sunset, we occupy a wide range of latitudes and longitudes, and we need to coordinate activities with people who are far away from us.

That puts a lower limit on the complexity of our time keeping system.

It's worth noting that Void Linux (and maybe others) does indeed keep all its (largely declarative) package recipes and build tooling in a single git monorepo, although it does not keep copies of the upstream source because (package, version, url, checksum) is assumed to be idempotent, and some of the stated advantages are real:

>Simpler collaboration: every package uses the same process, and the same tools, and it’ll be easier than ever to help with other people’s packages.

>Enables distribution-wide changes in general: With all the source code for everything in one tree, in on repository, it’s feasible to make changes to Debian that affect many packages. For example, back in the day Debian took seven years to migrate /usr/doc to /usr/share/doc, and that can now be done in one commit.
Very typical for Germany, they rather roll their own solutions than cooperating with other countries and pooling resources. But it's even worse than that, each state within Germany does their own bureaucracy differently as well, to varying degrees.
Maybe there are, but the reason they got designated as a terrorist organisation by a rather small number of states were the suicide bombings in the nineties.

Sure, they might be shitbags, they're led by politicians after all. Have you considered sending the IDF a message and ask them to change their priorities and start aiming their shells mainly at al-Qassam brigade militants?

Yeah, what they needed was for there to be enough chargers at every conceivable location their customers might stay the night at, otherwise it's just a nuisance to the customer.

If all hotels had as many charging spots as they did hotel rooms then no issue, but as soon as they don't then customers end up needing to spend a bunch of time at charging stations unnecessarily.

That might still be a problem if they're driving farther than half the range of the EVs, but it's extra troublesome if they can't even get a full charge overnight, or if they're picking the vehicles up not fully charged.

>Even the average dev salary is only say, double that average.

Dev salary being double the average national salary is very good by western EU salaries. In Austria for example as a dev you earn just slightly above the national average income.

I think only in the US and cheap countries like Poland, Romania, SE-Asia, etc it's normal for devs to earn several times the average national income because they're hot markets for tech outsourcing and average national wages are on the low side for those not working in tech making the gap really big, but in western Europe dev wages tend to be around national wages out side of big-tech.
I guess that answers my question. People are getting pumped storage and river dams mixed up. It seems mschuster91 also mixed them up.

But it still takes time, more so than a petrol car - and when you rent a car, that's exactly what you are paying for.

It's fine if that time is while you are asleep, or at your destination - but the last thing I wanted to do when returning the car before a flight would be to wait for ~30 mins for the thing to charge up, no matter where the app would direct me to.

Logically you'd have a supercharger at the car rental depot to try and relieve this problem, but alas, the last time I was renting a car, and was considering an electric one from Hertz, this was not an option.
Open source is great, but LibreOffice is a nightmare to use when you want to any actual work. I feel for the German bureaucrats.
On this specific issue, I would bet electric vehicles and electric chargers are not priorities for swing voters. Announcing it might offer some cheap political points, but spending the resources to implement and execute it might not be seen as worthwhile because at the end of the day, most US voters, especially the important ones in swing states, don’t care.

People are generally happy with the cost and qualities of their gas vehicles, or hybrid vehicles. If I was buying a car right now, I’d be looking at gas or hybrid too. They are proven to work and maintain value for a couple decades now. I’ll let others beta test EVs for another decade. I certainly would not rent one.
Yea. That's a fundamental flaw built into modern constitutions.
> Was surprised to learn that with Apple silicon-based Macs, not all ports are equal when it comes to external booting

iirc, not all ports were equal when it came to charging with the m1 macs, so this is actually not so surprising.
It's not so much that chargers are hard to find, whether Tesla or otherwise, it's that they're less common and may or may not be convenient to where you're staying or where you're driving while you're on your trip. If I was going to travel somewhere and rent an EV, I'd at least look on Google maps first to see where the chargers were, something I've never felt the need to do when renting a gas car.

This isn't an insurmountable problem, but most people don't like any additional uncertainty when traveling and that extra little bit of friction is probably enough to make travelers want gas powered cars. But I can also see that changing over time as more chargers come on line and especially if hotels start becoming reliable charging destinations. If I could rent an EV and charge at my hotel, that's way more convenient than looking for a gas station.
Again with the arguing against a totemic representation in your own head, rather than reality.

My position[0] is: When elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers.

[0] which may or may not have anything to do with the down-voters you complain about: I didn't vote, I don't know who did or what they think and; as I said earlier, what you wrote initially looks like something each of the big groups on this topic can find something disagreeable with.
> “However, you are still not convinced, so you call your manager to ensure that the email is legit. He confirms, so you transfer the money.”

I feel like it’s a HUGE (silly) assumption you’d ask generically “did you send this email” instead of something more specific like “do you REALLY want me to transfer you money like this?” to which the manager would obviously be confused and the attack would likely be killed in that conversation.

This is an interesting attack vector but I am questioning how likely it is to succeed. The article paints a very specific and narrow window of events for this attack to really work. I don’t buy it, personally.

EDIT: I know phishing happens and works. I am not saying it doesn't. I just mean the people that fall for phishing don't need this sophisticated of an attack to fall for. In fact, the attacker probably narrows the chance of success by putting this much extra (very specific) effort into the attack. They are likely to just succeed with their typical phishing email.
>Neither China nor Russia are paragons of free market liberalism, and they are able to build things.

Dictatorships perform exceedingly well in executing top-down schemes.

In the lands of the free that is the US and most of the western world, we can pass laws and dangle bags of cash to entice society, but the executive can't do much beyond begging for everyone to please spend the cash before the legislature comes to ask questions.

Meanwhile over in the land of the dictators, if the dictator wants five bajillion chargers by tomorrow then bah gawd you will build five bajillion chargers by tomorrow because you won't exist tomorrow if you don't.

If the entities you depends on for funding migrate from Words to LibreOffice, then yes, you will consider moving as well.

The network effect may be mostly considered in regard to social media, but it is just as powerful when it come to tools and file format.

Administrations moving en-mass to open-sourced software would ensure a significant chunk of companies would follow.

National governments have more considerations that purely saving tax payers' money, because such savings can be short sighted. Saving money on munitions during a war effort, for example. Would you be as eager to have your courtry's military equipment built and purchased from an adversarial super-power? This is exactly the same thing.

Afaik Russian air defense systems are geared towards intercepting fast moving ballistic objects and not slow propeller driven aircraft flying close to the ground hence why Ukranian drone strikes are so difficult for them to intercept.

You need air defense systems that are geared towards that like the Gepard and NASAMS and not Patroits.

Very interesting piece – and as an American that's lived abroad for nearly a decade, I think Americans (in America) dramatically underestimate how much cultural influence the West/US has on the world. It is basically impossible to avoid American culture, for better or worse, whether that be Netflix shows or memes. I wish more Americans were aware of this and understood how much passive influence they have via relatively mundane things.

Because "medical services" is an euphemism for killing, in this case.

You can read my other replies for more context, but what I see as a problem here is that all this will normalise death. By enabling it, we're one step closer of people resorting to this more easily, and having people that could recover just giving up early.

And yes, my stance is biased, I don't trust doctors that much.
Well.. partly yes of course. But it's also partially about systems. For example modern democracies all accept "one person, one vote" but that rule of engagement is part of the reason we have polarizing political systems. If we had "one person, one minus and one plus vote" the situation would be very different.

It's of course true that if the people don't support the system they can overthrow it, like Maost China, Tsarist Russia, Revolutionary USA, and closer to home here in Sweden we have had several total rewrites of the constitution. So at the very bottom the people have to accept the system to some degree.

But all this doesn't mean the system doesn't influence behavior. It does. A LOT. Just go into Reddit with the up/down vote system with publicly viewable vote counts on each comment and see what that does to the debate climate. It's bad!
Sad to see WP equating abuse with vandalism.
I would say to get an android phone and flash Graphene OS (Pixel phones) on it.
I’m guessing the problem here is that Hertz didn’t have chargers. I rented and EV was allowed to return the car with 10% battery. The rental, I assume, had a charger on site. It was a super great experience. I would not use hertz if I had to charge the car upon return, and I say this is a Tesla owner knowing how the charging navigation works
> It’s obviously a win for all involved or they wouldn’t be so popular.

Definitely not a win for consumers, who in aggregate lose out. The margins to make the system work are built into the prices you pay at the checkout.

Other markets like Europe and Australia capped interchange and made it cheaper for retailers and consumers.

This forced banks to redesign their products/rewards/pricing to give consumers a real choice of whether to play or not.

Some consumers decide to fund more of the rewards cost themselves (via cards with annual fees). Some keep high rewards by using new bank-issued Amex (but pay surcharges at the checkout). Some keep much of the gains for themselves (via no rewards/low cost cards, with lower costs for the retailer).

So now, consumers who don't want to pay the overhead of interchange-funded rewards for everyone else don't have to.

(Disclosure: I ran portfolio management/cross sell/profitability/customer retention for an Australian credit card issuer during the period that interchange there was capped and progressively forced down. Later, I was the Netherlands representative on one of the card schemes' European advisory committee.)
Not sure where you're from, but there are a lot of gun ranges in Europe, too. Especially in Central Europe.
