What I'm getting at is that the literate quality of the music as a defining principle (or differentiator) is lessened if the actual practice was improvisation that preceded it being written down. If a composer improvised the music first and wrote it down second, then it is hard to claim that his writing it down was a significant differentiator in it's composition. This is compared to modern music that is improvised, developed than recorded (and often not written down).

The argument against my point would be, but the people learning the music (i.e. studying it) later started with the written music and went from there. And that is a differentiator for their own development as composers. That would be compared to modern musicians studying modern pop music where they start with a recording and go from there.

My point is that the differentiation is in the contemporary study of music and less in the method of composition.
Sorry, that TL;DR is completely false.

1) the ”owner” is long dead.

2) the foundation is set up in such a way to perpetuate itself and its goal (to better mankind), forever. Not to generate wealth for Ingvar Kamprads offspring. He hardly left them penniless. His family does not control his foundations. They have a minority vote.

3) if the world’s billionaires set up their organisations in similar ways, the world would be a much better place.

Ingvar Kamprad is known to have lived a simple lifestyle, despite being one of the wealthiest men while he was still alive. While travelling he stayed at cheap hotels and drove an old Volvo. Does this strike you as a man motivated by greed?

From your article:
”That control is so tight that not even Mr Kamprad's heirs can loosen it after his death. The foundation's objects require it to “obtain and manage” shares in the Ingka Holding group. Other clauses of its articles require the foundation to manage its shareholding in a way to ensure “the continuity and growth” of the IKEA group. The shares can be sold only to another foundation with the same objects and executive committee, and the foundation can be dissolved only through insolvency.”
> but driving around with Ontario plates now that 30-50% of the population has been told to hate me isn't inviting.

I went to Idaho once in a car with California (CA) plates, ended up stopping in a fairly small town overnight before heading to see some of the parks. The person at the front desk of the hotel I stayed at noticed the CA plates and suggested I remove them (even offered a screwdriver they kept at the front desk for the situation) because they've had multiple cars with CA plates vandalized, specifically for being from CA. This was years ago, so not even strictly related to the current insanity.

I can absolutely believe that with the current climate, there are places close to the Canada border where parking in the wrong area with Canada plates would draw unwanted attention.

I've given some thought to this, I agree it's one of the obvious improvements. I think with a refractive design like this one it's difficult, because of the way a lens works. Most other projects like this including commercial ones like CoeLux use a reflective design, and I believe that's partly for this reason.
The presence of hydrocarbons would be useful to potential future settlers too, since it can be used as feedstock for things like plastics and petrochemicals.

Yes, Dagger provides the core system API that allows creating and combining filesystem layers in any order you want. However it doesn't provide compatibility with existing package managers: that's something that you, or someone else in the Dagger community, would implement. You can extend the Dagger API with your own types and functions, then share them as reusable modules.

For example, here's a Dagger module for building Alpine Linux containers in an order-independent way. Under the hood it's derived from the 'apko' build tool created by the folks at Chainguard. https://daggerverse.dev/mod/github.com/dagger/dagger/modules...

And here's a Dagger Shell command for building a container using that module:

github.com/dagger/dagger/modules/alpine | container --packages=git,openssh,curl | terminal

You mentioned deb packages. Your intuition is correct, Dagger doesn't magically make .deb or .rpm packages reorderable, since those packaging systems are designed in a way that makes it difficult. But it does provide the primitives, and a cross-language programming environment for creating the "adaptors" you described in a way that maximizes reuse. If someone does for deb what Chainguard did for apk, you can trivially integrate that into a Dagger module.

I've been involved in many sectors, but the current application is for show control software to operate stage lifts, performer flying rigs, scenic winches, car catapults, and on and on. Overhead hoisting and effects with people requires very high safety standards, and at the moment, most of this type of software is audited to decent safety standards, but not formally verified the way applications are in Ada/SPARK for the aerospace, railway, and military sectors. The tooling for SPARK has been tried and tested. I have been designing, building, installing, and maintaining specialized equipment for almost 30 years in the water, on land, in the air, and even in space.

We pack lunch for our three kids because the free lunch at school is low quality and they don't like it.

That's also the case with the Docker ecosystem. On top of that, you need to take into account the base image, versions, etc.

At the end what I look for is for a project being able to build my source code with runtime dependencies and supporting tools that won't change overtime for the architecture that I need.
I’ve seen the video he links at the top of the article, a few years back. They took an old satellite dish, silvered the surface, and put a giant LED where the receiver had been so the light produced was nearly parallel. Otherwise the shadows look wrong.

Stemming takes about 15 seconds for a 3 minute song. And most DJ software downloads the entire song in a few seconds, then generates the display waveforms, and so on, and then you can play the song.

So "realtime" and "streaming" don't really apply, because the files download and process fast enough.
Yes, if you cherry pick data you get different results. Prop 16 was rejected by around 57% of the voters — hardly overwhelming, but there’s a reason that you’re citing a 74% figure when it supports your argument, vaguely gesturing at an election result when it’s more even and outright ignoring the poll where a majority of people explicitly say they support affirmative action for racial minorities.

From my perspective it's almost exactly opposite. Almost all of the people I consider exceptionally talented are vying for positions in academia (I'm in mathematics), and the people who don't make it begrudgingly accept jobs at the software houses / research labs.

I'm frequently and sadly reminded when I visit this website that lot of (smart) people can't seem imagine any form of success that doesn't include common social praise and monetary gain.
The basic purpose of the USDA is to keep US Agriculture as a sustained business, so that the US has continued access to locally grown food resources.

The USDA sets our basic dietary standards, and sets the standards for school meals. The primary purpose of standards for school meals is to ensure agriculture has a market for its products and a secondary purpose of feeding children. The USDA also runs SNAP, commonly known as food stamps, which provides a market for agricultural products as a primary purpose and a secondary purpose of feeding families.

If the primary purpose of these things was health, they would come out of the department of Health and Human Services, possibly from its Food and Drug Agency.

VAT is a consumption tax. If you consume goods in a place with lower consumption taxes then the tax is doing exactly what it is meant to do.

If you buy consumer goods in a low-VAT place but transport them to a high-VAT place and consume them, then that is clearly illegitimate for the same reason that it is legitimate for VAT to be applied to imports and refunded to exporters.

The problem isn't specifically the release of this information, which to my understanding didn't reduce the effectiveness of the operation. But the real problem is that now that other state actors and intelligence agencies know that our top military and intelligence officials sometimes share details of impending operations on their personal cell phones, there is now a pretty strong incentive to try to crack those phones or crack the Signal protocol somehow to get access to that information. And Signal and Apple do their best but they don't have the kind of resources that the NSA or CIA can bring to bear on securing a piece of equipment from espionage.

1. I would argue there are no "real alternatives". The two most proximate alternatives in feature space are Ibis and Snowpark.

- Ibis because while it can target multiple engines (as we state in our docs, we are built on and heavily reliant on Ibis), it aims to be "single engine, single session" in its execution in that nothing is expected to persist beyond the current session and an Ibis expression can only have a single engine. We want to be multi-engine and have some artifacts durable across sessions (by way of caching)

- Snowpark because it is sort of "multi-engine" by way of external functions or python stages, but locked to Snowflake. In some sense, we want to be Anypark: Snowpark like functionality but centered on whatever engine of choice is desired and performant interop with any other engines.

2. We don't have anything I would hold out as benchmarks yet. We don't aim to be "best in class" / the "fastest engine", we aim to be "in class" for as many operations as possible (we use the word performant). Our goal is to make it easy for an org to choose whichever engine(s) they feel most performant in when they consider the full space of {developer,computation} x {time,cost}. However, Hussain has demonstrated how having information from the "whole pipeline" available but execution deferred can allow for specialized optimization by way of predicate pushdowns (https://ibis-project.org/posts/udf-rewriting/)

Thanks for your interest and please feel free challenge any of the above or point us to anything you think we might have overlooked!

I don't see much difference in that compared to now. I mean, do a search on Jazz composition/improvisation and you are bound to find numerous descriptions of the Barry Harris approach (among others). There is a large existing cannon of methods for jazz improvisation that informs all students of the form. The same is true, just less formal in pop song writing. If you watch enough producer videos for pop and commercial (ads, tv, movies) you will find there is a set of methods for those genres.

As I explained in another response, I see the literate nature of classical music as related more to the transmission of knowledge from master to novice and much less in the process of composition. In the past, music was written down for study. Today music is recorded and studied directly. I have no doubt this has consequences on the student, but I don't think it has as much consequence on the process of composition itself.
Amazing work, and certainly for such a tentacled project good enough is good enough. I only brought up Gleam vs. Elixir because I am going to pick one to learn this year. I've played with LFE too, and as I wrote earlier, I played with Erlang for a bit.
> one of the true reasons for short supply

No, it's not. The reason for the short supply is the CAPPED number of advanced education spots after medical school. Open up 100 more med schools with class sizes of 1000 each at half the cost or typical schools and you'd still end up with pretty much the same sized cohort of doctors with advanced training.

Some states have looked into legislation allowing graduated med students to serve rural communities without having undergone a residency. I don't think this is widely available if available at all, nor do I think it's scalable.

While that may very well be true, I'd be willing to bet that these effects are much more pronounced (and rightly so) with people who hotmic / don't use push-to-talk. As while this can be mitigated some with diligent muting by the host (or whoever), or with a raise-hand-to-talk system, it's still completely lacking in consideration for others, whereas tinny audio is something that sometimes cannot be helped.
I interpreted the message sas aying the fault lies with those who transmitted the top-secret through Signal and not a fault of the Signal company/app.

Personally, I hate overhead lighting and much prefer lamps or wall sconce type of lighting. I did replace my overhead bulbs with Hue bulbs, but I don't feel the not very bright aspect. My overhead bulbs are most often at 25%. Anything over 50% is just too much for me. I love my Hue lights and am trying to switch over to all Hue bulbs. I still have a few regular bulbs in places that just don't get a lot of use, so they get ignored

Likely Occam’s razor here. The answer is simple enough that Gruber even states it in his blog, writing:

> But if you look at the last four years, from 2021 through 2025, Daring Fireball ranks #72.

> Maybe I’ve lost my fastball, and I just don’t write so good no more. Or maybe it’s not me, but the Hacker News audience that has changed in recent years.

The last four years are the outlier to his popularity on HN, and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that DF posted a lot of politically-charged takes during this timeframe, including opinions about covid, vax mandates, Ukraine, Israel/Palestine, Elon, and Trump.

I suspect his takes frustrated many of his long-term readers, leading to less sharing and more flagging on HN - maybe by users with more influence - coupled with the site’s opaque algorithms/weightings picking up on the negative sentiment.
AFAIK most computer keyboards don't have em dashes. Rather than hit ALT+0151 every time, I've always just strung along two hyphens, like: --

Absolutely proper and correct use of em dashes, en dashes, and hyphens is, to me, the most obvious tell of the LLM writer. In fact, I think that you can use it to date internet writing in general. For it seems to me that real em dashes were uncommon pre-2022.
Right, and my original comments about plenty doing it was sort of based on this idea that there are lots of small districts out there which I assume could be similar no?

So while the number of kids being served healthier from scratch cooked food might be low, the total number or percentage of schools might be a lot higher.

I realize that it's more important to consider the percentage of kids than the percentage of schools, but my initial comment was just a simple take on this as in there are probably a lot of schools that still cook their food.
Would it, though? What matters is glycemic index, and that depends on the overall composition of the food, not just on levels of simple carbohydrates. Focusing purely on one nutrient or on total caloric content is hopelessly reductionist.

For instance white bread has a high glycemic index not because of added sugar, but because all of the fibre and most of the protein have been removed. Proper whole grain, brown bread has a low glycemic index and tons of protein. And that's true even if there's some syrup added for flavour, which is not uncommon.

- Country geolocation
- Simple table format, fast to load

There are also pages for specific use cases (e.g., Netflix, MLB.tv, Instagram, etc.).
