Yep! I went to the "Art of Armor" exhibition when it came to Phoenix Art Museum - saw this stuff up close and bought the catalog, which confirms that many of the fancier pieces were ceremonial in nature -- especially the ones with big vertical decorations

Side note : one of the most amazing parts of the exhibition was the archery equipment -- fantastic and frightening-looking arrow broadheads especially

I'm under the impression that samurai only wore armor in real battles and never for ceremony (preferring other, equally elaborate garments for that). This is in contrast with medieval Europe where there are many examples of elaborate, ceremonial-only armor (such as full suits for children of royalty, etc). Can anyone confirm?

Yes, they tried disclosing to officials. Not the ambassador. You're inserting your own interpretation, while I am curious about the intentions of the parent comment. I was assuming no ill-will, by the way.

That's only part of the sentence.

> For the last decade, I have worked in male-dominated environments. While during this time I’ve encountered many nitwits and detractors, I’ve also been fortunate to encounter many proponents and advocates.

That doesn't seem like a blanket denunciation of their peers, subordinates, and superiors.
I'm not exactly a software engineer, but I have a really hard time imagining how 6 in 1 statements about anything could be complements. In my area, most work is average (by definition) and the main reason you show your work to people sitting in the chair next to you is so that they can catch your trivial mistakes. (Kind of like code review.) I do know that in the average program there are far more bugs than clever inventions.
I mean, I mentioned in another thread here that in my own town there are attempts to attack the library, and its not a "everyone share the pain" argument. It was national news. The people pushing it are straight up trying to get the library delisted from the ALA and the TLA, precisely so they can control the content on the shelves. You can go to youtube right now and see the arguments, made in a Texas county commissioners court, to the effect; "if we can't succeed in having these books pulled we'll start our own library or get the county library funding pulled". Its not a rhetorical point, I've been active in fighting it here in my community.
I feel like it is the reason why disruption works so well: After an organisation exists for a while, 100s of fences are clogging up the streets. Some of them useful, some of them used to be useful, some of them never thought out well to begin with.

So disruption is taking a bulldozer, and driving right over them. The clearly usefull fences get erected quickly. The forgotten usefull ones are rediscovered after a while, maybe causing some minor damage in the process. But the grand majority turned out to be useless, and is now gone for good.

Of course, if there is a pack of nuclear civilization killing wolves out there, they better stay fenced off or else. The trick is identifying them. There might be a role for a regulator in there.

Same; I wish I got more feedback on my patches. I tend to just get 'LGTM'. But I know there's always something that could be better, even if just a little bit. I'll see it in a month, maybe, when I come back to something I wrote/changed, but I wish my teammates would tell me now.

Not if you speak Spanish. "Un bosque," a forest, isn't related to Euskera, as the Basque language in known in Spanish. That part of Spain is called Euskadi or País Vasco, neither of which looks like bosque in Spanish nor Basque in English.
Does that mean you don't have such issues when upgrading from LTS to LTS?
No snark. Seriously asking. Are LTS versions generally better in this regard?

It's partially a quirk of OSHA, and possibly a temporary one. Analogous safety standards in Europe, I'm told, allow for either the dorsal or sternal D to be used for fall arrest.
I think I understand where you're coming from with this commment. I too, went through a series of jobs being thrown into the deep end, and while the amount of help I recieved from my co-workers varied, I can't think of a single time they actually left me hanging totally by myself. Instead they encouraged me to learn on my own as much as possible, and minimize asking questions that I should be able to find the answer for myself.

Eventually, we all find ourselves in a situation where there is no one to turn to, and you either sink or swim on your own skillset.
Be yourself is a non-statement. I don't know what it means. Does it mean follow my primal urges? Follow my idealistic goals? It doesn't say anything.
Back in 2013 or so, I had privacy concerns, so I got a device that was popular for folks that wanted to put free software on it. Hacking on it (both for fun, as well as frequent buggy behavior) served to keep me at the desk instead of working out :(

Whisper is trying to do this. It's a super hard problem space to work on (for a variety of reasons, most notably power constraints for in-ear/near-ear devices). You just need more cycles per second to do higher resolution fourier transforms.

By the way, I read this quote as a sincere attempt to understand what was going on in the mind of some people. I am afraid the actual explanation may be a bit more prosaic. A monolithic kernel might -o horror of horrors- be quite mundane. And where is the tenure in that?
It puts the lie to the notion that you can achieve real sovereignty simply by declaring it.

You need force to back it up, or at least, the potential to use force.
You can be poor anywhere in the US, it doesn't have to be in a flood zone.

The main argument for rebuilding these areas seems to be "these people have lived there for generations". People move, and catastrophic flooding seems like a better reason than most.

Wow the 1970s were not kind to inflation-adjusted wages.

It's interesting to look at this graph through the lens of demographics & generations. The post-war wage boom from 1949-1963 corresponds almost exactly to when the Silent Generation (those born during the baby-bust years of the Depression & WW2). The peak of the graph in 1973 corresponds to the initial entry of the peak of the Baby Boomers (1955) into the workforce. There's a rise from the 90s onwards corresponding to Gen-Xers entering the workforce (at 22 now, since college degrees have become more prevalent) and the G.I. Gen retiring, but it stalls out in 2005 just as the first Millenials start entering the workforce.

Maybe there's actually something to the Econ 101 models about factors of production and how a relative shortage of labor increases labor's share of national income relative to capital while a glut does the opposite.

HS-educated members of generation after Millenials (born 2001-onwards, and tiny - fertility has been dropping to record lows) start entering the workforce in 2019; college-educated ones in 2023, and the peak of the baby-boomers starts retiring in 2020. Perhaps we'll see another sharp rise in wages in the near future, assuming we don't destroy ourselves because of the coming stock market crash as all the baby boomers try to cash out their 401(k)s at once.

No one deserves anything, you get what you can get.

If one wants to learn in the best environment, one usually needs to go to university and _pay_ for the education. To go into a highly competitive industry, get _paid_ (usually quite well) and complain that someone didn't teach you the way you'd like to be taught is some kind of astronomical entitlement that I can't even begin to comprehend.
If this is meant as an "initial demo" and not something which is usable or profitable, then why do it under 35 miles of (sub)urban land?

How much money would they save by doing it on/under cheaper land, with fewer lawsuits, easier access to the TBM should there be problems like 'Bertha' had in Seattle, etc.?

Shouldn't the "initial demo" be part of the "technical progress prior to the start of implementation" mentioned in the article?
Me too. FWIW I pointed out https://www.amazon.com/Renormalization-Methods-William-David... to an expert and they said it looked promising (only based on that page).

Take the case of this American politician:

https://mavenroundtable.io/theintellectualist/news/wsj-kushn...

The guy's family has a massive debt. He was denied security clearance because that debt makes him a big risk. His party somehow push it through (politicians, sigh) and now he has been bailed out by the Saudi regime (iirc he's foreign secretary to Saudi Arabia or something - the top politician responsible for that country).

In potentially sensitive or powerful positions it's only prudent to look at how susceptible someone is to being influenced. The news is full of stories of people committing fraud to pay for gambling debts. Treason isn't exactly far off of that..

I recently started reading about non violent communication, and this is a big tenet from what I gather. Affirmatively communicate your feelings and your needs.

I found there are two difficult aspects to this: clearly defining the relationship from feelings -> needs (many examples in the book of this, and how people twist words when asked to describe what other people do that they don’t like), and avoiding specific language mannerisms I’ve grown used to but recognize as following negative patterns.

I found the approach helpful when I tried using it during some emotionally tense situations.
Ouch. Is this a one-time thing, or do they have a history of that?

What I was trying to say was that I can understand companies making this mistake once. Maybe even twice. But once a company has an established pattern of doing this, they lose the benefit of the doubt and we have to assume they're doing it deliberately. Even more-so if they do scummy things like try to bury their "it's 1000x worse" update with other high-profile news.

Facebook has a long history of this kind of thing now, every single new privacy violation of theirs must be met with the expectation that it's actually 1000x worse than they say. I'm not aware of any other companies with a history of doing this multiple times.

It seems more like questionable reading and strange selective quoting than poor writing. The writing as written is pretty standard - first sentence is the thesis and the rest of the paragraph supports it:

The first very basic rule is to avoid interfaces. If someone wants to add something that involves a new system interface you need to be exceptionally careful. Once you give an interface to users they will start coding to it and once somebody starts coding to it you are stuck with it. Do you want to support the exact same interface for the rest of your system’s life?
The real problem ends up being food. Solar panels last for decades, and with them you can desalinate your drinking water and power your lights and such. But how do you get enough food to eat? Even just feeding one person requires a surprisingly large greenhouse, and space (and soil) aren't exactly a luxury you have at sea.
To a programmer, the real nuts and bolts of category theory aren't a ton of use. People have had some success reverse engineering some of these concepts into programming technologies, but it is a very long road to learn enough CT to either replicate or benefit from that road.

There's also the regular misinterpretation that mathematical objects like, e.g. monoids, are well understood through CT. That's pretty false. There's the "intermediate level" of abstract algebra where you can study these objects and the world they live in much more directly and immediately. There's some real benefit from learning some parts of abstract algebra. Trying to learn CT in order to learn abstract algebra is complete overkill, though.

In both of these cases, my advice boils down to "just learn the things you're interested in directly as opposed to 'via' CT". That's because CT is really what happens when you boil and boil and boil away these different fields and are just left with some very universal ideas. Abstract nonsense.

If you're a mathematician and these concepts are your daily bread and butter... hey, you might still not want to learn CT because it's better to just work with what you're studying directly.

Okay, objections and disclaimers over. The thing you can learn from CT which is interesting and valuable is the very powerful, universal perspective of "if you want to understand something, look at how it relates to other things". Category theory is absolutely focused on this idea and most of its insight is that this idea, taken in its extreme, is extraordinarily far reaching.

Again, you can probably learn this more practically by studying where it shows up in something you actually care about. It won't be a theorem there, but instead just sort of "in the fabric" of the field, a major technique used in proofs. CT is nice because it unified those "folk theorems" from all over mathematics.

More relevantly, in programming the CT perspective lies close to the FP perspective where "transformations" of data and "pipelines" are given center stage as opposed to "objects" and "procedures". It's also embedded in ideas of domain specific languages and both concrete and abstract interpretations, thereof.

Most likely, you want to learn the actual techniques of interest and then maybe later just learn a bit of CT to get a sense for "how they all connect". I think there are opportunities for CT to influence your programming if you were to become familiar with it, but they're still kind of fuzzy today.

Finally, if you want to learn CT I recommend you learn abstract algebra first via Aluffi's "Algebra: Chapter 0". It's secretly a CT book, but is not trying to be so abstract. You can also learn a lot from Schanuel and Lawvere's "Conceptual Mathematics" which, I feel, is one of the better books for establishing the "category theoretic POV".

If it has no noticeable effect - my life is completely identical - it's hard for me to see it as something negative. If something has absolutely zero effect on my life whatsoever - not even a single advert on my screen - calling it a virus or malware seems unwarranted.

I suppose if my personal data was somehow used to damage someone else, that would warrant calling it malware.
This is something people in security sensitive fields like to claim, but the fact is narcissism drives acts of betrayal much more often than desperation for cash. The thrill of "getting away with something" or having the sense of being smarter than peers and overseers has certainly caused much more betrayal than something as mundane as money.
Fellow HA wearer here - close on 25 years now. I agree that disruption in manufacturing is important, but I also think there are a few other areas that could use disruption.

First, remove the stigma of hearing aids and hearing loss. It's not an old person's thing, and it's not something you have to hide. For me, they are glasses for my ears. That cost thousands of dollars. I want options. I want colors. I want "Ray Ban" to brand hearing aids. I do not want to browse a selection of colors that are clearly meant to either blend with my skin color or my hair color. Don't market to me that they are "hardly visible" as if I should be ashamed of them and hide them.

Second, make insurance work better. For a time, I had a state job, and the state insurance would pay $200 per hearing aid. That's nowhere close to the cost - probably about 10% of the cost. $200 gets you a cheap "hearing device" you'd get out of the back of an AARP magazine with pictures of silver haired people. In my current job (Fortune 50 company), they will pay 90% of the cost for hearing aids, but they will only buy me one pair in my life time. IN MY LIFE TIME. Utterly ridiculous. I could lose one or have one damaged, and be on my own for the $2500-3500 (each) replacement cost depending on what I got.

54 here. Empty nester with a stable personal and work life. I feel happy most times, a bit of envy when I see younger folks. Borderline financially stable going into retirement. If I stay healthy for the next decade and keep working I will be OK financially.. not yet there. Mortgage 70% paid off.

I feel 'mature' and at peace, now, and sometimes kick myself for not getting into that state at a younger age.

I still enjoy fulltime-coding, no carpal tunnels yet..30 years at the keyboard. (thanks to a mouse/windows/apple aversion). Sometimes I think I've 'failed' in a positive sort of way, by not being aggressive and going into corporate management. Other times, I wonder why am I still coding, my friends all seem to be managing (but cursing their jobs at the same time).

I especially feel good when I see myself as being reasonably healthy and active. Like others, I am getting to accept and look past the things I won't achieve. Strangely, many things (both technical/conceptual and life-related) seem easily grasped, the more I relax and slow down.

I agree, but ultimately society has weighed the trade-off and moved in favor of the ruining of some lives for the wheels of justice to grind forward. That is why society tends to reify martyrs imo. We have countless examples in history. For things to change people suffer and we elevate their suffering to some third party that can recognize its injustice. Peaceful protests are exemplars of this notion.
Plus -- git!

I'm a confirmed Linux user [switched from macOS], but to me it's clear that git dwarfs Linux in terms of sheer _significance_.

Sure, Linux is what runs most big systems and that is really cool, but if Linux hadn't come around, there was already BSD [which is also good and a lotta my buddies were advocating in the mid-late 90s]. But git is quite unique and has / had no easy substitute. I don't [personally] know a single technology person who doesn't use or interact with git daily. And the benefits of reliable, free/open, and distributed version control are just monumental for the average working code stiff.
