Raspberry Pi Gets Industrial (2014)
I've been watching a lot of videos about the Apollo program and there were significant mistakes and lessons learned through that program. They had initial problems like poor wiring quality and software was written without specs. Every so often someone had to step in and reset the plans and get everyone focused.
Here is a link to the videos. Start from the last video first...

I had an issue with a CF template caused by property not being the correct case and the error message made no sense.

I started a chat with AWS after giving them the ARN of the template. He looked through my CloudTrail logs and the documentation and couldn’t figure it out either. He said he would get back to me....

He created a simplified CF template that reproduced the problem, talked to an CF developer, he said the developer looked through the code of the API call that CF was attempting and they found that the property was case sensitive. The guys at Hashicorp couldnt do that.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a Hashicorp fanboy when it comes to onpremise implementations. I developed a system around Consul, Nomad, and Vault with a helping of Fabio.
Yes, it was really good read, thank you. I hope I could write as clearly.

Look, however, at the use of "is" in my comment and yours. You are applying "is" to some abstract, nonexistent categories, categorizing abstractions and naming the resulting categories. I use "is" to describe what is going on, particularly in Haskell and Scala.

The whole abstract hierarchy I regard no more meaningful as hierarchy of chakras in crya yoga texts or similar sectarian pseudo-logical but disconnected from reality teachings.

While I really appreciate that you have mastered this abstract hierarchy and could in clear and precise language explain it (which is what a mathematician supposed to do)
I personally refuse to take statements like "any abstract datatype is a monad" seriously.

It is a plain type-error. You are trying to say that a triangle is a number. The correct and precise way is to say "could be viewed as", because you are literally superimpose one abstraction upon another, or view one through another, if you wish.

All these nested generalizations could be superimposed on programming, but it is fundamentally wrong to say that something in programming "is" one of these abstractions.

You are speaking like a mathematician, I am speaking like a non- (or rather anti-) Plato-Hegelian philosopher.
No. It's against the public policy of the State of California for a noncompete to be valid, and so the contract is invalid.

There's a compelling state interest not to enforce contracts that harm their residents. California has decided that more harm is done by enforcing such a contract than not.

But yeah, I'm sure you can find lots of lawyers to file as many motions as you want as long as your checks cash, but in the end you're going to have to decide that this is really worth it, especially since there's a very real possibility that you'd end up going up against the State of California.

Some (but probably not an exhaustive list) of pitfalls:

* Filename: Either force random data or only allow a whitelist through. Do not trust unknown character ranges.
* File-existence: Never over-write files, resumed uploads should be handled VERY carefully (it's easier to just not).
* File-extension: (I) do not care; security design should never trust this data anyway.
* File-size: You don't have control of this on the host?
* Disk space: It might be a good idea to reserve at least some of this, or set a maximum ingress pool size.
I'm rather excited by these. I work with B&R industrial controllers at the moment, and it would be lovely to replace the proprietary Windows-only toolchain with a standard-ish Linux system, while retaining the toughness and extreme I/O flexibility of the industrial system.

Forgive me for assuming someone with such odd views could only have come by them through lack of experience. Obviously highly biased experience works just as well.

Opportunity makes thieves, as the Germans say. You’re using an organisation with close to zero effective oversight, that is without exaggeration a law to itself, and which for political reasons has many staff from really corrupt countries as an example of corruption. The UN is not clean and no one who knows anything about it thinks it’s clean.

For similar reasons aid organisations are also not paragons of probity. They work in poor, corrupt countries and they have access to both budgets and people who are willing and eager to get some of that money by helping them defraud their employers.

What does this prove about corruption in more developed countries? Either very little or that systems are important.

In Sweden your political career can end for putting hundreds of dollars of private expenses on a ministerial card.

https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1995-11-11-951111...

In Ireland you can die rich through corruption after having been prime minister, never having been charged with anything.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2006/dec/20/ireland

And petty corruption in either country is much less than anything aid workers deal with regularly, basically absent. Living in China has made me far more cynical and accepting of the fact that corruption happens all the time but I know perfectly well that petty corruption is very limited in Ireland, my home country.

Interference in civil service exams or school leaving exams is unremarkable in China and would bring down a government in Ireland.

The difference in corruption between developed, developing and undeveloped countries is so large that it’s not just a difference in quantity but in kind.
The focus of the article is less on the importance of the Argus project, and it's place in the Cold War, and more on illustrating how deeply entwined the supposedly independent press was with the Government, and how the press was effectively self censoring itself due to perceived national security concerns.

Equally important, however, is noticing that ultimately what caused the New York Times to publish was the recognition that the press is a competitive environment, and, (amusingly, given the MAD overtones of any article about the Cold War), it's game theory that dictates that eventually the press will defect from an embargo due to competitive fears of being scooped.

You don't get it, dude.

It's having to hear other people's negativity at all, and dealing with the revelation that people you'd like to respect, are actually fucking horrible.

Even if they aren't ganging up on you, hearing them gang up on other people behind their back, knowing that they're two-faced, and having to continue to work with them is, well, kind of awful. In an open office, you sometimes find out unceremoniously, that everyone is backstabbing everyone else.

Sure, let's lend some perspective to that. A silver lining. Better to know who the sociopaths are right? That's life, yes? Deal with it like an adult? Or maybe not.

Maybe, if everyone's a backstabbing two-faced piece of shit, then hey, maybe it's okay to just betray anyone, because everyone's awful.

If everyone's smug on twitter and facebook, is seeing it and knowing about it worse for some of us?

If no one has any integrity anymore, it leaves you with no allegiance.

Sometimes, there are things you'd just rather not know.

This was a nice read.

I really enjoyed the 1995 movie about the Apollo 13 mission. It struck me that it provides a mental model for critical internet infrastructure or for relating to an online audience that you want to share anything important with.

They couldn't give the astronauts anything physical. They could only transmit information.

Yet, they did research on how to address some of the problems, wrote instructions and relayed them. This was crucial to their survival.

If you do anything of any importance online and need a little inspiration, I highly recommend watching the movie with that mental framework in mind. Ever since I watched it, I tend to gravitate towards to articles on the mission that show up here because it was a huge mental paradigm shift for me, for lack of a better term.

Instead of after-the-fact musings on the role of geography, it would be smart to read what the Confederate states themselves said their reasons were for seceding.

For instance, Mississippi [1]. The first two sentences of the Mississippi secession document read:

"In the momentous step which our State has taken of dissolving its connection with the government of which we so long formed a part, it is but just that we should declare the prominent reasons which have induced our course. Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world."

Why does it set a dangerous precedent?

Facebook in the UK is wholly subject to the decisions of Facebook in the US. He may not be a British subject, but his business operates in the UK. All business in the UK should be subject to UK law and regulation and the officers accountable. It should not matter if the law is old or the company has a head office elsewhere. Same for companies operating in other countries.

If I choose to start operating my business in the USA I would reasonably expect to be subject to US law, and accountable to it.

Consider it payment for doing their job. Without this journalism, the government would have probably never been compelled to bother telling anybody about Argus. So the fourth estate seemed to have performed its role perfectly.
I think it's depicted as a little more complicated than that; the New York Times started pressuring the government to let them publish out of fear that another news agency would publish before them; which pushed the government to start doing the release, which prompted the New York Times to do it instead, preventing the government from perpetually delaying the release.
I've pinched that phrase to make a less misleading title. Hope that's ok!
Newton's method finds zeros of functions, which is different from optimisation (finding maximums or minimums). If you use Newton's method on a function which is the derivative of some other function you're trying to optimise, then it will find critical points, which may be the optimums you're looking for (or inflection points, saddles, etc.).
