I know absolutely nothing about notation software, but I remember watching that MuseScore rewrite video (link [1] above) a few months ago and was absolutely enthralled. Definitely recommend watching Tantacrul's videos to anyone who wants to learn more.
I live in a SFH. It's very unpleasant outside of my home. It's inconvenient, sometime outright dangerous to walk to my local grocery store. There's also constant noise from the cars and the ever present possibility of a car driving off the road. I see a bicycle tribute or two to small children in my local area.

I wouldn't even considering cycling given the speed of cars around there. The local road is used for through traffic despite being one lane in each direction. So it's very frustrating if I want to get somewhere during rush hour, and this is just cars!

If you want to walk to the local gas station, you might have to deal with muddy ground because of the ground being the bottom of a hill in order to get there, although the owner of said muddy ground have filled it in with dirt lately. The sidewalks if they exist, are discontinuous.

Yes, wealthier people live in SFH and the surburb, but it's a questionable in term of quality of life.

I visited the city. In some way, they are more convenient such as access to rideshare scooters and bikes, but also dangerous and automotive centric if less so.
It's hard to overstate how important BASIC was to the adoption of personal computing - it provided a straightforward way to program an entire generation of home computers and bootstrapped countless careers.

Illegal search and seizure?
you have the wrong view point. he just have a different opinion than you.

he single handled managed to fool RH and all distros into turning Linux administration just like windows. systemctl list of services is so inspired by the atrocious windows' admin list of services (which have 3 fields supposed to describe the service, but they all just tell you the name again).

it's no wonder his reward was a job at Microsoft.

but again, he's good in all three aspects. you just disagree on building the torment Nexus that is putting Linux in the "standard certification" target for sysadmins.
I have a similar relationship to MiniDisc. I will never sell my collection and I still use it now and again when the urge strikes me.

I remember in the mid-1990s a friends brother was a big film buff, he showed us RoboCop on LaserDisc - the original directors cut. I remember being very shocked at the scene of Clarence Boddicker and his cronies shooting up Officer Murphy. But on the upside, I do remember being impressed with the sharp picture and Dolby Surround mix compared to VHS tapes.
I am required to carry full coverage because my car is financed. Even when I've paid a car off, I still carry full coverage, because liability-only policies tend to not help in my past experiences mostly due to the absolute epidemic of uninsured/unregistered cars on American roadways.
As a language, it's very low-level. It has nicer syntax than assembly had, and is relatively portable, but the concepts are all really close to the metal.
>America, used to be engineering-led. Seeing “Made in USA” most often meant you were holding something that was engineered to work and to last. Exceptions to this were rare.

This is evident from the textbooks that I used to read or some of the old manuals especially explaining science and engineering when I was young. While in my graduation I desperately wanted to come to the US to work in some of the top engineering companies. Unfortunately I couldn't and I now see a steady decline in engineering work. All I see is silly sw engineering. Manufacturing has become non existent. Some of the vintage electronics stuff the engineers pulled before is very inspiring. This same thing applied to British engineering which is synonymous to poor quality these days.
"This isn't so bad, huh? Making bucks, getting exercise, working outside."
She's 60 years old now.
Yea, I really don't believe that's true.

More than likely it was the rose tinted glasses he wore.

It just means the remaining engineers had to work harder. AI helps you generate boilerplate, that you still have to check because it will fuck up. It doesn't do entire projects for you.
The reason there was a federal streetcar design in the first place was because of the well documented need for standardized equipment by that point.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Electric_Railways_Co...

By the 1920s, the tracks for many streetcars and interurbans were already being dismantled because there was no perceived utility to them - even for future rail systems. Very few of them would have been capable of even supporting the weight of a PCC streetcar.

As for the danger, besides the well-publicized disasters, fatalities and accidents involving trolleys was a very well perceived danger of the time:

It's also stupidly expensive for most people, and made us develop a car centric approach to a lot of things, a lot of problems it solves are problems we wouldn't have if we designed our cities in other ways

Replacing the current 2b vehicles on earth by electric vehicles will buy us a few years at best but it won't solve the deeper issues
I think there have been less than 100 drill holes by curiosity and perseverance the deepest being ~3” and none of those samples have returned to earth. Not sure how deep any potential fossil layers might be but that doesn’t sound like a lot.
Plenty, outside 8 bit computing, BASIC was structured and had enough compilers to chose from.
Lots and lots of BASIC was used in production for routine IT-ish tasks at the dawn of the personal computing era. It was the only meaningful way to implement custom tasks until the mid-80's when environments like Turbo Pascal showed up. For years and years technically-savvy small businesses were buying Apples and PC's and then writing their own BASIC to glue together whatever automation they needed.

Was much commercial software written in BASIC? (Edit, because this is being misunderstood: I'm not talking about the evolved BASICs being pushed by the late 80's, only about the ones like Applesoft and GWBASIC the commenter is asking about) No, very little. As you point out BASIC doesn't offer much to developers who already understand a macro assembler. But the market was much bigger than that.
Why auto complete for a static language would be hard? Everything is known in advance.

Genuine question.
Yeah, that's the part that stuck out for me. "sudo is bad because it does all these things it shouldn't do instead of just the one thing it's for and nothing else. My tool is good because it does just the one thing it's for — plus this other random thing because I think it's cool."
It's a shame MD Data was too little too late.
> Virtually all users of sudo are using it on their own computer

Nope. If I had to guess, it's in containers, like Docker. And those run in lots of places, and often in places with easy access to company's cloud account, credit card info etc.
Neofetch itself is just a (faster) alternative to the original screenfetch
Historically speaking, Reddit has been incredibly loose about identifying who is behind an account. Not even requiring email verification, let alone phone number or something more advanced like a drivers license.

The future is likely more similar to LinkedIn
These have been deployed in my neighborhood, and I'm very happy with that. It's the best technique the police have to catch home burglars, of which there are an ever increasing number, I believe due to soft on crime policies.
ah ok.
Thank you for that clarification.
I didn't catch it.

SEEKING WORK | New York, NY

Open to remote opportunities too.
Chorus One | https://chorus.one/careers | Platforms Engineer | REMOTE (Switzerland ± 6 hours)

Chorus One operates validators on many proof-of-stake blockchains (the ones where security is based on a Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus algorithm rather than wasting energy). We are hiring for several roles, but the one I will highlight is what we call the Platforms Engineer. Some companies call this Site Reliability Engineering or Devops.

The main thing we do is take upstream software, build it, run it on our infrastructure, and then monitor it and optimize that setup. Some things that make this interesting are:

* Building automation that enables us to do this for many networks (50+ currently).
* Doing this with high uptime, building automation for failover, etc.
* Working with software that is on the one hand cutting-edge and doing interesting things (consensus algorithms, distributed systems, cryptography), but on the other hand that means it’s immature and often not easy to operate and monitor. Often we have to build custom tools, and dive into the source code of the project. We contribute patches upstream when it makes sense.
* Some of these projects are exercising the limits of what a machine can do, we have to do some low-level investigation that requires understanding of what the Linux kernel and network hardware are doing to properly identify what’s going on.

We do have a small cloud footprint but run primarily on bare metal. We are looking for people who can not just configure services offered by the public clouds, but who deeply understand what lies below; people who could build their own cloud. (That sounds a bit pretentious and it’s not exactly what we do, but it does involve many of the same aspects.) If this sounds interesting to you, check out https://careers.chorus.one/o/platforms-engineer-remote.

If you don't need to be able to carry it around, albuterol solution is still cheaply available for nebulizers - but you'll need a nebulizer (which isn't portable) to use it.

ProAir HFA is one in which the legally permissible substitutions by the pharmacist are limited, largely because the old propellant (and thus generics based on it) is not legal for sale.

We use trade names because they're shorter and easier for patients (and doctors) to remember. Outside of a few specialized areas - epilepsy, warfarin, thyroid hormone - very very few doctors use branded products when a generic is available (and there's nothing wrong with the generics there, except that you need to get the same product every time to titrate the dose, and unless you know that X pharmacy will only stock the drug from Y manufacturer, it's a crapshoot).
One thing to remember is that a lot of people use the testing distribution so they would have seen it before the Debian 8 release changed the default. The debate in the community took ages but one factor in concluding it was that people were using it for years without it being anything like the more hyperbolic predictions some opponents made.
Curious why there is much less interest in the Pleiades, which is made of all of our same material and is very likely a "fork" of earth formed after the original mass that later became earth and moon colliding with another body in early history.

We use Userify which manages multiple user logins (via SSH) and sudo usage.. there are definitely many, many use cases for teams logging into remote servers, and most security frameworks (PCI-DSS, HIPAA, NIST, ISO 27000) require separate credentials for separate humans. Sudo has some issues, but it works very well and is well understood by many different tools.

Brightbook | education.brightbook.io | Full-time | Bruges, Belgium | Software Engineer | onsite/remote

* Who are we? *

Brightbook is a publishing platform for educational content, consisting of an in-house editor and interactive learning environment. It caters to schools as well as universities and learning and development professionals. It is built in the historic city of Bruges by a small and dedicated team that aims to provide both instructors and students with better tools and ways to experience their course material.For our engineering team we are looking to hire one or more software engineers, both junior and senior, to help develop the software side of our platform. We are growing at an ever increasing speed which provides us with numerous interesting challenges to tackle and opportunities to make a meaningful difference.

* What are we looking for? *

We are looking for talented developers who have at least some experience with React and its ecosystem (Typescript, Plate, Vite, …) but are not afraid to do some work in the backend as well (Ruby/Rails in our case). As a rule, we put more value in mindset and attitude than experience with a specific stack. So if you have worked with other web technologies, such as Svelte or Vue, we’d still love to talk. It is important to note, however, that, since we are working in the Flemish educational market, we do expect you to speak Dutch or are in the process of learning Dutch.
Beyond that, we’d just love to have a chat to paint a broader picture and listen to what you can bring to the table!

* What do we offer? *

It goes without saying that you’d receive a competitive salary and all the social benefits you’d expect from a developer position. Beyond that, we offer a mix of remote work and working from our office in the city center of Bruges. We will also supply you with any development material you may need (Macbook, software, …). If you have any strong desires, we’d love to hear them as well. We really are invested in finding the right fit and making sure you enjoy working for our company for a long while!

* Interested? *

Email us at info@brightbook.be
Can confirm. I'm a graybeard, and I use cat pretty much exclusively to read this data. Sometimes I even pipe the output through text processing tools to isolate specific parts of the data dump.

"Consider another figure that should haunt leaders: 1.7. That is the number of children that, on average, Chinese women of child-bearing age call ideal. China’s ideal is one of the world’s lowest, far below the number given in Japan or South Korea. Chinese women born after 1995 want the fewest of all: 48.3% of them told the Chinese General Social Survey of 2021 that they desire one or no children. There is growing evidence that such attitudes are powerfully shaped by how people, and those around them, experienced the one-child policy."

https://www.scmp.com/economy/economic-indicators/article/324... | https://archive.today/EXI8u

Seems fairly straightforward to predict based on a total fertility rate of 1-1.05 (2022-current) and forwarding looking social/cultural cues. TFR won't get to 0, but based on all available evidence across the world, it isn't going back up either.
Which meant a quite good performance, in a memory managed language, and ability to do systems programming.

There was nothing missing in VMS Basic, Turbo Basic, QuickBasic, DevPac BASIC, that would make me reach out to C.
People have said the same thing many times yet we keep discovering extremophiles thriving the some of the most hostile environments. And in 2020 they conducted an experiment on the ISS that exposed Earth bacteria to direct cosmic radiation for 3 years and it turns out they survived https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/scientists-dis.... And this was just Earth bacteria that did not evolve under these conditions, any remaining microbes on Mars would have developed adaptions to survive in such conditions.

Dreaming stopped for me after being put on Trazodone. In some the medication induces nightmares or vivid dreams, not for me. I can testify that dreams contribute a lot to the perceived quality of sleep. In recent months I've had a few very short dreams. They're dull, bland, nothing much happens. I feel robbed of a part of my life. I took Trazodone for about a year, now some 8 years ago.
What does that have to do with the comment you're replying to?

Edit: This is an honest question, I'm not familiar with the extent of his crimes, if any. It certainly doesn't seem like a clear-cut "he was an objectively evil man but we looked the other way" based on the Wikipedia article. It could very well be his account, which from a brief skim seems reasonable, is accurate?
Humans can also take on new research objectives on the fly while rovers/probes can only ever do what they were designed to. The difference in flexibility, capability, and speed are vast.
