I've used Createspace (now KDP Print). Essentially what it boils down to is deciding a cover size, formatting your book internals to fit that cover size, with the appropriate margins (the inside margin where the fold is needs to be larger), spitting out a print-ready PDF, then generating a cover, which consists of the front cover, spine, and back cover. Because your spine size depends on your internal page count, it's best to figure out the internals first. KDP has templates that make it easier to make a cover if you want to do it yourself. Once that's all done, you take your print ready internals and cover, go to KDP or whatever publisher of choice you want to use, and follow the steps. An ISBN will be generated for you (and automatically placed on your cover art), or you can provide your own.

It's basically that easy, and the rest is a bunch of toying around. If you've got everything written in a non-book program, you can format everything with a combination of margin options and page size and VERY liberal use of page breaks. I don't recommend it though. Something like InDesign might be better, but it will have some learning curve. The same goes for your cover, MSPaint could technically work, but something like Photoshop/Illustrator will work better.

Hope that helps, even though it's not very specific. Every step has a lot of sub-steps to take care of and learn about, so take it easy and do it one bit at a time. Focus on book layout first, because if you have a specific style in mind for how your haikus should be laid out on the page, it's going to all happen there, and your page size choice may restrict you.

I don’t think implementing your own cryptographically secure cross-plattform RNG bindings would be particularily useful. Same goes for JSON serialization, deserialization with the serde crate.

There are some very well solved problems and I don’t think Rust should hide the fact that you can also rely on those. The idea of a cookbook is to solve common problems — and sometimes the easier way to do this is to use an battletested external dependency.

I'm one of the people in that thread and I'm unconvinced by Jason's insinuations regarding the hostility of the New Vector team. From everything I've seen, interoperability and federation is extremely important for New Vector. The fact that Matrix is a rather innovative and semi-research project has to be taken into account.

For instance, here[1] is the github thread on verifying event hashes which he refers to in that HN thread. From what I can see, he notes some of his (insightful!) thoughts on the matter, nothing but a civil discussion ensues, with parts of his suggestions getting implemented and others being worked on.

I very much agree. Look at it this way: the more we practice and keep our languages truly complex, the longer it will take for machines to take our jobs.
I even take it one step further and actively try to confuse the machines by training my Swiftkey keyboard and Google searches in poor grammar. Take that Skynet!

(No but seriously, I would never equate human and programming languages. They are created for different purposes. PLs are a formalisation of languages, yes. But that is like saying notes are by themselves music. They are, but there is a whole lot more in between there)

> What guarantees that when I send a message to an object, that object won't decide to change itself in response?

I don't think that's what the other commenter is saying.

They're saying that internal state is not directly manipulable from external sources. So an object `x` cannot have a method that takes in another object `y` and does `y.foo += 3`. Instead, it must do something like `y.addFoo(3)` to accomplish the goal.

This is superficial in some sense, but then every distinction between various programming languages is superficial if you look at it right. :)

The idea is that the object itself is the only thing which can manipulate its internal state. Therefore, to use these objects, the programmer must have imbued them with the necessary methods. This is restrictive (you have to implement the methods before you can manipulate the state), but this is the core design principle I think the other commenter is trying to tell you about. Objects cannot be manipulated willy-nilly; they must have implemented some method which can be called from the outside. This restriction creates a much more solid barrier of distinction between the responsibilities of the various objects at play.

All you've isolated is the placebo effect unless you react that same way to all glutamate containing foods. Chicken broth has tons of glutamate in it, if chicken broth doesn't cause your headaches then neither does MSG. And if you're thinking that the glutamate in chicken broth or other foods could be reacting differently because it's not monosodium glutamate, that's not possible because the instant MSG is dissolved you no longer have MSG, you have sodium ions and glutamate ions. That's chemically the same as the sodium ions and glutamate ions in chicken broth. Glutamate is present in everything from tomatoes, to mushrooms, to parmesan cheese.

And if ever you visit Japan, you’ll see a significant number of people pull down their masks to unleash their coughs and sneezes completely uncovered in a crowded area. Covering coughs and sneezes isn’t really a concept here, and when it’s done, it’s done with bare hands which most people don’t wash during their bathroom visits.

People wear masks here during pollen season or handling dusty/dirty things, to indicate to others that they may be sick, or to soak up their runny nose drippings. But for the most part, like many aspects of society, they serve only a decorative purpose.

> if the software engineers had made different choices - such as refusing to allow a flawed system to go forward - then the outcome would have been different.

You're assuming that the software engineers had sufficient information to identify the system as flawed.

The MCAS problems appear to stem from faulty sensor data, we don't yet know much more. However, suppose, for example, that the software engineers were told in by the sensor manufacturer that when the sensor had an error, it would shut off entirely and no signal would be sent. If that was the case, it would be difficult for the software developers to forsee and account for incorrect sensor data, rather than just no data.

In something as complex as a commercial airplane, no one person can know all the systems. There has to be information "hand-offs", and it's understandable that the person receiving the information would rely on it.

It's not that different in more prosaic software development. If an API has a bug in it, it's hard to blame the API users for not accounting for the bug. You generally trust that the API does what it says it does.
No its not. Fighter planes like the F-16 are designed to be aerodynamically unstable for higher maneuverability. For this case an incredibly fast control system is required to make minor adjustments to the plane to maintain stability. This control system is in constant control of the plane and the entire jet aircraft is designed to operate in such a way.

The 737 MAX was made more aerodynamically unstable then the original 737. A partial control system was put in place to hide this instability should the pilot maneuver the plane into the configuration that will trigger a stall. It's an entirely different situation than the jet plane above.

Think of it like a bandaid to cover up a problem. I'm saying don't use bandaids. Design the plane correctly from the ground up.

The trouble is, many of the people who responded to you had a legitimate point. I've done embedded development with OS libraries that I've extended, but there was 0% chance of me opwm-sourcing any of that code. I didn't even ask. Not everyone works in a field that is conducive to OS models. Consider that there are people who work in the military space who read this site, and the thought of open-source would give their managers aneurysms.

I always have a very conflicted feeling about the Unix-Haters Handbook. It's clearly intended to make legitimate criticisms, but then there is a kind of tongue-in-cheek exagerrated part to it, but then behind that there's clearly a lot of very real bitterness and barely controlled anger.

I think it's a good book and worth reading still, if not especially, in the modern world where to many people Unix and its family are the hot "alternative" that is often favourably compared against Windows and its ilk.

But I also think that Ritchie's "anti-preface" was already quite on-the-nose when the book came out and has only become more true over time.

That is all there is to it. Your link seems to conflate memoization with a global store that you must apply in an all or nothing fashion for functions. You do not, and calculating the n'th fibonacci number is a great example of how to use memoization without using O(n) space.

A scandal in the Amazon – where pilots are forced to lie
What you describe falls under the general umbrella term of combinatorial optimization, of which Constraint Programming, Mixed Integer Programming, SAT, SMT, and local search techniques can be said to fall under.

Personally, I find the languages and methods used in constraint programming (CP) to define models the most clear, even though that is not always the best way to actaully solve the problems.

To write CP models, the MiniZinc language is quite nice and has support for using many different solvers on the back end. The MiniZinc website (https://www.minizinc.org/) has quite a lot of documentation. For an outsider perspective, Hillel Wayne wrote an interesting blog post on using MiniZinc (https://hillelwayne.com/post/minizinc/).

Something that shocked me while visiting Korea was a friend explaining to me that a mask is the only way for her to go out without makeup.

The societal pressure on appearance is so high, that just going to the grocery shopping without makeup is seen a socially unacceptable. The simplest way around it is to hide your face, and the best way to do so is to wear a surgical mask.

On a side note, in Korea, this is not reserved to women, lot of men wear makeup as well.
I will say I've noticed I get a headache after Korean bbq but I'm pretty sure its the beer and salt.

The article doesn't outline how truth can be reestablished on the internet. Honestly I don't believe that it ever can and, frankly, I don't believe it ever was in the first place: we just were not exposed to the chaos of thought that can be found collectively. It is quite clear that the old media narrative has been shattered by the internet. If anything is capable of reassembling this fractured state, I am honestly a bit fearful of what that might be. AI that entirely fabricates a reality that calms people? AR that curates a user's perception to harmonize with their mental and emotional state? Let's be honest there are so many different ways of looking at the world available for perusal on the internet, that establishing "truth" is extremely difficult. I believe that what I know about the world rings true, but so does everyone else.

This is either stupid or dishonest.

A gun to your head is a threat of violence - that’s the criminal act. Threatening murder is a crime in itself.

The crime of wiretapping would be secretly listening/recording (and willfully so, not by accident as e.g. when baby monitors cross-talk). Having an inactive piece of hardware present, with no intention of using it for spying, is not a crime.

Having the hardware present is extremely unlikely to be nefarious. It could have been (a probably was) future-proofing. It could be a bundled package (unlikely I think for a mic, but you e.g. pretty much can’t buy cheap motion sensors without temp and luminosity bundled, so things like Philips Hue motion sensors measure temperature too).

Putting things in the standard library can greatly slow down their development as it upgrades when the standard library does and deprecating things can be more painful for library users because it is much easier to choose an older version of some boring library than of the standard library.

Then again, maybe one would want such things to slow down development
