I fit the bill. There are obviously similarities: music notation is a formal language like programming languages. When you read notation, you can pretty quickly grasp certain relationships and substructures within the piece. With jazz notation especially you can quickly figure out what the general strategy of the piece is and once you’ve got an ear for how it works, you can theorize or write little melodies or complementary bits just from sight alone.

I would also say that the obvious impact of the ear and/or the tools you’re using to play music make it very different than programming. Without the knowing how you would actually play a piece of music, it can be difficult to visualize or interpret notation, whereas code is pretty straightforward in how it’s made or what it actually does. The “feel” is really abstract and interacting with the piece is more akin to observing a running system than it is to touching code.
And yet… the plug and play nature of many ML methods and their frequently positive impact when applied so has probably played a large part in the growth of the field.

Given the "good enough" performance and low power credentials I am really surprised that N100 based laptop is not commonplace. Make a 1440p QHD laptop with 32GB RAM it will be selling like hot cakes. The advertised max RAM is 16GB RAM but some say it can takes more up to 64GB.

Dev tools that should be more popular according to the 2024 Developer Survey
The 2024 Stack Overflow Developer Survey asked participants to identify tools they used this year and those they plan to use next year. A tool is deemed “admired” if developers who used it this year intend to continue using it next year.

By dividing the `used %` by the `admired %`, we can calculate an “underrated score.” I've compiled a list using this method, filtering for tools admired by >70%, and used by <10% of developers. I think there may be some hidden gems here!

Guns per person has gone up significantly. A wild guess might be 20-40%, but exact estimates are difficult. Sales are tracked and have gone way up, which is the starting point for estimating change in guns per person, but difficulty in estimating and combining all the factors makes it difficult to integrate.

(Most states don't track ownership, background checks aren't 1:1 with guns, gun purchase stats depending on how they're reported might include used guns, guns manufactured aren't necessarily going to civilians, and of course some guns are permanently lost or destroyed, or taken out of the country.)
"move forward in their lives" is an ingenuous word in this context.
This is all well and good if you’re working on applications, which to be fair is most software.

I have yet to see a systematized agile approach that works for building infrastructure, things like utilities and system software. Software that if it breaks, it breaks things in big ways. You can’t iterate on that and get feedback like you would a CRUD app. Furthermore, you can’t time box that sort of software development into sprints in any way that’s not artificial and arbitrary. If you need to rearchitect the software to fit a new constraint imposed on the system, you’re basically starting a new project. If anyone knows of an agile way to manage that sort of software development, I’d like to hear it.
That's great for someone reading this forum to be aware of, but moms have no idea what any of the words you just wrote means. So if they were told they get a coupon for installing or some other bit of ridiculous things malware devs use, and yes I'm calling FB software malware. All of if it. Messenger, FB.app, everything. If it's from Meta, it's malicious.
I came here to pick this nit but you beat me to it. I think calling it Db7 is the best way to think of it, especially since in jazz it's often part of a descending sequence of II-V-I, where the tritone substitution turns it into II-bII-I. So in C major (where G is the dominant), it has to be Db.

Yes, you can sell IP like code copyrights. Like a factory, you generally won't if you are able to make money with it, and also like a factory, there’s often a limited pool of buyers if you need to resort to it.

That's a very good point. I have within recent memory installed my own internal CA that I run on Android devices that I own and trust, and the process on android 11+ is sufficiently daunting that 99.5% of peoples' moms could not do it in one or two clicks. You have to go deep into system settings and manually import the CA. This requires first file-transferring the CA file somewhere onto local /sdcard storage and possibly having a file system explorer app installed to be able to view its location on "disk" and pick it.

As is pointed out in the article, I would presume that Google saw the threat from allowing an app to install and trust a root CA as well, and removed the ability for a "one click" install of a root CA:

"KeyChain.createInstallIntent() stopped working in Android 7 (Nougat). A user would have to manually install the certificate. It would no longer be possible to have Facebook's CA cert installed directly in the app."

For me, I don't think it's meaningful to think of two notes in a vacuum as anything. The logical part of me wants to think about it with math like you're suggesting, but 2 notes lack any context to give them meaning. Add another two to the chord or add other notes around it temporally, and now they don't sound bad at all. The idea of consonance and dissonance only makes sense to me within the framework of tension and release.
It's really crazy how all these people overlap at Gottingen in the 1920s.

Take Oppenheimer, for instance. He transfers to Göttingen from Cambridge in 1926 (after a relatively miserable time at the Cavendish labs studying under J.J. Thompson). He earns his PhD at Göttingen quickly. By September 1927, he's back in the USA on a teaching fellowship with Caltech.

So, Oppenheimer isn't at Göttingen for very long - not even 2 years! But in that brief time, he meet Max Born, James Franck, Paul Dirac, Werner Heisenberg, John Von Neumann, Eugene Wigner who are also all there.

Wolfgang Pauli and Enrico Fermi had moved to other institutions by 1926, and Edward Teller doesn't get there until 1930 - but it's plausible that the Göttingen connection (and their relationship to Max Born) are how Oppenheimer meets them.
100% I am working with paper schematics. I do a fair bit of field work in dirty environments (agriculture). When something isn’t working I want to be able to trace from the power input to the fuses to the regulators to the control signals to the output connectors. It’s much much easier when that all fits on a sheet of paper or two (or a screen or two) and it clearly flows from left to right.

I recently bought an n100 and within a matter of days got buyer's remorse and impulse-purchased an n305 to go right beside it, which is currently sitting with a wildly overpriced 48 GB stick installed and 2TB SN850X, it's an absolute joy perfwise and the absence of heat it generates.

The only thing I'd reserve judgement on is the tendency to throttle. I haven't got far enough to characterize it, but it's not clear how much value those extra cores will add over the n100 with TDP settings tweaked down in the BIOS, and if leaving the n305 to run at max TDP, heat/noise/cost/temperature-related instability may start to become an issue, especially when packing other hot components like a decent SSD into the tiny cases they come in.
The avocado toast problem is that an average house in my city costs just over $1m (aud), while avocado toast averages $20. So that is about 45 years of eating avocado toast 3 times a day, hell even just getting enough for a deposit will take 9 years.

The reality is saving $5 here or there will not make a difference. You need to be saving 60 bucks a day for 10 years just for a deposit. Or over a hundred for a more palatable 5 year saving.

The average wage in Australia is around $1400 per week, tax is around 20% and average rent is around $300 per person. So that leaves you with $120 for everything else.

Yes, it's the attitude that is the problem..

The linked news article doesn’t describe how it arrived at its cost figures. Suppose a city widens a freeway before hosting the Games. The widened freeway is used afterward. Is this a “cost”? Does it make sense to count it as one?

My experience is different. The main advantage of the American Academia is the availability of entry-level faculty positions. Success rates for funding applications are also higher. On the other hand, PhD students and postdocs are less independent from their supervisors than in Europe. They lack the usual protections as employees you would expect in Europe, and it's not as easy for them to get independent funding. Students and postdocs are also paid better than in the US (relative to what they would get outside the academia).

I'm not sure about the status of academic freedom. Administrators, politicians, and donors seem to have more influence in the US, and the entire academia seems to be more politicized.

The naming thing has been handled since forever - use a code for the field name and display the business value associate with it.

The business logic understanding has been handled, but rarely implemented. Any technical system should be built off of a business system. The business should be able to define their business process maps and data points exposed in each step of the map. Most systems will still need devs to implement this unless you go with some no-code/low-code process map system.

Yes - well, almost. As coders, theory scratches the itch of understanding what's happening "under the hood." We might say that "Bach's music is brilliant", but why? Theory helps make the music, and the things that make it sound interesting, explainable.

That said, making music is not merely a technical exercise - there could be multiple theoretical ways to describe a harmony. You still have to listen to it and ask, "what makes the most sense? Is this functioning as a resolution to some tension?" It's easy in a classroom to lose sight of the fact that the theory was invented after the fact.

They were given “tablet friendly” user interfaces that made navigation extremely difficult. But Microsoft never finished the job so you’d try to find something in the stupid sliding screen interface only to be thrown into a windows 3.1 era control panel.

This is a single retail location in Maryland. There's probably a reason they let them unionize without a lot of fighting, and I'm guessing it's because they will shut the store down if the union becomes a problem.

I know this site is pretty pro-union, but if I were them I would not have wanted to unionize at all. Apple has decent salaries for what it is, and it's probably cheaper to close the store than hire a McKinsey consultant to renegotiate union contracts.
Nice, but it could have a brief description (two or three words) of what they are. How can I give a chance to "Phoenix" or "Ruff" if I don't even know how to search on google about them...
Not in my experience.

Sure, music theory involves learning the "syntax" of music notation, the "semantics" of e.g. key and genre, and the "programming pearls" of common musical idioms like tritone substitutions. There are analogs.

But what distinguishes music theory is:

1. The language and notation is hundreds of years old. It's been with us in one form or another 200 times longer than COBOL has. Maybe longer.

2. You don't have the peculiar challenge of having to speak it in the very precise form that a computer requires of a programming language. The terminology and communication between musicians is much fuzzier than that, much more like a human language.
Technically, it's both. Parents don't teach their kids because they didn't/don't really know. Financial literacy isn't in the curiculum at all pre-college level. Even then it's not a "core" competency in any degree that isn't finance related. Even just ~10-15 years ago I wouldn't say the topic itself had as wide of discussion as it does today.
if you don’t have code projects of your own then that is a much bigger red flag than inability to do timed leetcode style interviews

I don't think many early composers get as mathematical as someone like Xenakis or even Schoenberg. Or maybe its just the way in which the math manifests in composition, Xenakis was far more direct with it than Bach. I can't see how one could make a viable case for pre 20th century composers being more mathematical but the argument could be interesting and worthwhile.
I take a Show HN to be a solicitation for feedback.

It took me a few tries to get this to run. I tried passing -model_path, but it complained that it couldn't find config.json. I then made a config.json in the pwd (which contained the executable), but it couldn't expand "~". I then tried searching *.txt, but it couldn't find anything unless I specified just one file.

In terms of offering an experience similar to grep, it's a lot slower. It's not quite as slow with the SLIM file, but I wonder if there's some low-hanging fruit for optimization. Perhaps caching similarity for input tokens?

At this size, shuttering a store in retaliation for unionizing should result in the corporate death penalty. If Apple doesn't want to deal with unions, then they can feel free to make the point moot, by giving their employees an ownership stake in the company.
Having used Jade and YAML and Python extensively, I disagree.

Natural languages have redundancy because they're often used in cases where transmission is imperfect. The redundancy provides enough information to piece the meaning back together even if the distortion is high.

A similar example of redundancy is the check digit on a credit card number. You could save some space by eliminating it, but then simple human error can cost people a lot of time and money.

The same principle applies to programming languages. They most commonly get distorted through copy/paste and through modification in adjacent code. Sometimes those distortions create a result that is syntactically invalid, which is the best case scenario and gives you a chance to piece it back together. But the more flexible your syntax is and the less redundancy it has, the harder it is to recover from errors. The distorted code can look correct.

Closing tags and curly braces give extra redundancy to a language which can allow for better error recovery in the case of distortion. They're the check digits of programming: they're not exciting or flashy, but they provide a layer of safety to sharing and modification.
