The Hammond organ was a beast...synchronous motors driving toothed steel 
wheels next to magnetic pickups,..with a spring reverb in the base.

Keith Emerson used to switch off the drive motor to bend the pitch down, 
and stick knives in the keyboard to create drones and pick the whole 
thing up and drop it to make a dramatic 'cymbal crash'

All while burning an American flag.

Of course, it was all basic 'music theory' ....not...

I think I have seen that but did not know what it was! Searching... 
well, kind of. This is not continuous, it is in half note steps, and 
semi permanent, not to be used in the middle of a song.

Yes, there is. You have to know how big to make the sails, and what gear 
reduction ratio you need, and how big stones you need.

It may be know how from previous failed and working attempts.

That is called 'experience' and is what you learnt as a midshipman

Of course it is. An experience sailor could look at a ship and say 
'that's too much sail for this wind' and if he didnt have a naval crew, 
but merely a commercial one, he'd take in a few reefs.
If you have the crew, you can do that pretty much right up to the point 
the ship is in danger of keeling over

You have been too exposed to modern techno myth that it's all science 
and maths.

It isn't, and the further back you go the less it was, right back to 
using a branch to roll over a rock, or chipping a stone to make an axe.

Some tribes still existing do not have words for number at all. One. 
Many?  Others do not have words for distance. When all you can see is 
the rain forest 5 feet away, there isn't much call for it.

Technology and the art of making it is the history of thousands of years 
of trial and error, with the 'right way' a closely guarded secret held 
by closed guilds.
The modern affectation that it's 'applied science' is just stupid people 
saying stupid things, trying to elevate science above its correct position

That's describes the "99+ percent" that was referred to in an earlier post.

But to get to Mars, or back to the moon, will require the "1- percent."
Technological progress cannot be sustained by mere technicians or
draftsman.

When you don't know the basics you'll make some bone headed
decisions that'll impact efficiency and/or correctness. Hopefully the AI
tool being used will catch it. But from my
experience it doesn't do it all the time and will even
encourage bad practices.

I agree. That is the very issue. I'd argue knowing the difference between
compiled and interpreted is basic CS.

Knowing that the difference is even less significant than you might
think is even more basic CS.

After all, where does “hardware” end and “software” begin? On which
side of the line do you place things like “firmware” (note the name)
and “microcode”? The “P” in “PLA” stands for “programmable”; does that
mean the gate connections are still “hardware”, or not?

All CISC chips use interpreters to interpret 'machine code'

Even a basic CPU like a 6502 is a sort of 'interpreter'

Remember when JavaScript running in the browser was considered too
slow for anything involving advanced interactivity? Yet now we have
entire apps, as complex as anything you might run stand-alone on the
desktop, implemented entirely in the browser?

How did that come about? Is your browser running a JavaScript
compiler, or a JavaScript interpreter? It’s really kind of a mixture
of both, isn’t it?

Apparently it is not fast enough as we now have WebAssembly:

   Kind of my opinion on ANY JS required to
   display the basics - esp on world News sites.

   No screen - SKIP THEM and MOVE ON to alt
   sources. Their articles do not get seen,
   their advertisers do not get seen. FUCK
   them !

It mainly happened through high-end devices being available to many
webdevs, and with concerns about portability and accessibility being
easier to disregard.

The code is still slow and heavy, some things may have become more
efficient, but that's arguably largely offset by many more additions to
what's usually done in these webapps.

But yeah, the distinction between "compiled" and "interpreted" doesn't
imply anything about performance, and it's completely possible for a
language implementation with some sort of compilation to perform
terribly (see e.g. CPython).

Apocryphally Gary Kildall was called upon to fix some industrial 
assembler while on a vacation job.

He rewrite in  Fortran, It ran ten times faster.

faster instructions are no substitute for shitty algorithms

I once was asked to improve on a search on a website. They had forgotten 
to add an index to a very important column. From minutes to seconds :-D.

Oh yes.

I played around with mysql a fair bit a decade ago. For write rarely 
read often indices are a must

Our database had a couple of tables that were supposed to be used for 
BOLOs, people or vehicles that were of current interest, that would be 
periodically purged. Of course, that never happened. A site complained 
about slow searches and I found the non-indexed tables had over a million 
records each.
