So I guess that any article from the Guardian is automatically flagged, no matter the subject?

Natural selection only favors adaptations that help us create more surviving offspring to spread genes to the next generations.

MuseScore doesn't work with NotePerformer (yet?).

One of the main advantages I find in Dorico is it seamless use of NotePerformer. I like MuseScore 4.4 that came out a few days ago, but it's lack of NotePerformer support makes it extremely difficult to fiddle with to sound balanced. Even if the UI is easier, the playback is most important to me.

Making playback sound pleasant, even with their excellent new integration with sound libraries like Spitfire's, is not easy without tweaking notation.

I hope that the MuseScore team fixes this soon. They have been improving very fast.

They are desperately trying to regain trust by appearing impartial

While hobnobbing with billionaires and saying the unspeakable thing aloud: their secret desires to turn America into Gilead.

Have you heard it in Queen's "We are the champions"?

"No time for losers, for we are the Champions" ... etc

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I noticed that and asked a friend, and they didn't see it. To me, when you consider both how it sounds and the theme of the song, it has to be intentional.

Queen has to be one of the winners in terms of shortness of the message required, you can probably get by with just a STOMP-STOMP

Scale models, Vitruvius, oral history, geometry (an applied math)

Also massively overengineering things and wasting a lot of time.

It is completely possible to build stuff without any math whatsoever if the community of builders copies what they did last time, makes minor adjustments when it doesn't work and keeps an oral history.

Of course, the constructions will be overengineered, not really of industrial volume and the community will believe a lot of things that are not true. And any attempts to be innovative will usually be expensive disasters.

Don't forget all the unstable buildings fell down a long time ago and we don't remember them.

At least three pyramids in Egypt had major structural failures. There was a lack of understanding of how the weight on top can produce an outward push below.

So...maybe it's that there's a lot of jobs where nothing of value is produced? Or at least, nothing of value to the employee, only to the owners?

Yea I’m sure there’s plenty of jobs where nothing of value is produced.

Think about all the startups that fail. People work really hard for two years, and then the whole thing fails with nothing to show for it.

In the grand scheme of things, no value was created, even though each day the people worked, value was created.

That reminds me of "pescatarian" in English, and "pescado" in Spanish: both use a hard C sound.

The C is always hard before an A, O an U, in Spanish and Italian, the soft one is before E and I.

To have the hard C in Italian an H needs to be added, CHE or CHI (while in Spanish that leads to something more like tch).

I am one of these. I think the idea is to have them go back and succeed in their home country so they won't immigrate to the US.

They still don't own the graphics cards and displays (monitors &/or googles)

Microsoft has an AR goggle contract for the US Army, and functioning models of both this and the commercially distributed HoloLens, so you bet VR is in their reach.

They do have HoloLens though.

Those are very much a commodity.

Nvidia and AMD, of $650B and $160B market caps, make commodities?!

I'm not sure what market cap has to do with it? BHP Billiton is an _actual_ commodity (mining) company with a market cap similar to AMD [1]

GPUs aren't commodities in the traditional sense, it's more of a figure of speech to convey how interchangeable and standardized GPUs are nowadays.

Consumer game hardware is small potatoes in the revenue stream of those companies. They might be important to the game-playing consumer, but they're regarded as commodities by industry.
