I'm not sure that system translates well on book/website layouts, because imposing that structure might get into the way of setting the optimal line length and text size for a given width. Dynamic rectangles are more suited for planning the overall composition of illustrations/photos – the "rule of third" is a simplified version of what Hambridge talks about. He also mentions how to use the diagonals to convey different emotions.

I think young humans are not developed enough to understand that the media's high praise of corruptive behavior is not healthy. I think young people are growing up thinking all the outrageous and adult content on the media platforms is not just some outlier entertainment, but rather that's what their future is going to be.
Perhaps poor customer service should be considered an indicator that an antitrust breakup is needed. This isn't that far from European Union antitrust guidelines.[1]
See Article 102, which has "limiting production, markets or technical development to the prejudice of consumers"

This ties in with the EU warranty obligation.[3] A key point in EU law is that "competition" is encouraged for the benefit of the consumer. US antitrust law is based on protecting smaller sellers from big ones.

Something to look at if Elizabeth Warren becomes president.

> Shitty westerners have no right for they have no skin in this game.

That's not completely true at present. Westerners have an interest in how Chinese government treats its people.

1. As the border disputes between China and India, the claiming of the South China Sea, and overseas investments as part of the Belt-and-Road initiatives show, the Chinese government may have an expansionist, imperialist and/or colonising ambition. This means that it is not only current Chinese citizens but also potential Chinese subjects that need to be wary of Chinese government.

2. Many neighbors of China are allies of the West; SK, Japan, India. Many have an economic interest that the South-China Sea is politically neutral.

3. Because Chinese expansionism and imperialism is a possibility, it becomes of concern how the Chinese government how Chinese government treats its minorities and frontier populations, and it isn't good at all. The people of Tibet, Xinjiang, HK, Taiwan all acutely face threat to their personal freedoms from CCP rule.

As a corollary, you may contrast this to US imperialism. Because of its superpower position/ambitions, its government is similarly of global interest. Contrast the reception; US citizens actively and openly criticize the US government's abuses of personal freedoms and unjustified attempts at imperialism.
Living in Japan where mixed-use zoning is the norm, there is often a small local bar within walking distance from where you live that can fulfill this role. This has been one of the best parts of living here for me, I can’t imagine going back to the western world where zoning and local government often makes local meeting places effectively illegal.

Something makes me wonder if this is part of the reason Japan is so safe, as well. If you’re first choice for drinking is a place where everyone knows you and lives nearby, you’ve got a much greater incentive to behave than if you need to drive to the other side of the city. Not to mention that it reduces drink driving, and combined with public transport, makes it possible to have a zero tolerance on drink driving policy.
Can you name a single company that needs 'more than a few' 1 hr sessions ?
Accepted definition of 'few' is at least 3 and usually between 3-5

Most companies have 4 sessions : 1 HR phone, 1 tech phone, 1 tech onsite, 1 HR onsite.

But bigger companies (i.e. bigger salary) increase the 'tech onsite' up to 4. Some companies replace one of the tech phone/onsites with a take-home challenge.

I infer that you didn't follow the link after "More about funding GNU Parallel and the citation notice:" to https://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/parallel_design.html#C... where the GNU parallel documentation says:

"As the request for citation is not a legal requirement this is acceptable under GPLv3 and cleared with Richard M. Stallman himself."

That is why I wrote 'Surely Stallman knows them better than you or I, and he is not opposed.' Not because I'm trying to "speak for" Stallman, but because I trust Ole Tange is not lying by writing that in the documentation.

That also why I'm sure that this has been "brought to the attention of the right folks at GNU".

If not, that lie has been around for years, with no one catching it.

Why are you so sure it will be otherwise?

Let’s say I think about it for a while and decide that C++ is more prone to bugs than other languages.

If I present that opinion as, “Study finds C++ more prone to bugs than other languages,” you don’t find it misleading?

I think most people assume the word “study” indicates something is backed by a rigorous method of research, like the scientific method. You can’t just make an opinion and then claim it’s a study.

FWIW, I am an emergentist. It seems that this view comes naturally to computer scientists and software developers. If I understand them correctly, some cognitive neuroscientists such as Michael Gazzaniga are beginning to think seriously about this perspective on the mind-brain problem.

Abstraction is as powerful in nature as it is in software. DNA is an amazing abstraction that essentially precludes physics from having a vote in the information content of the genes, and relies instead on an entirely new logic at a higher abstraction level, namely evolution. Grasping for other metaphors, there is a profound complementarity between a great violin and a transcendent performance, but nonetheless Stradivarius and Heifetz were geniuses in different categories. Steinway and Horowitz. Without a piano there is no Horowitz, and everything Horowitz does is translated via the piano and physics to the audience. But, the music is at a qualitatively different abstraction level than the physical piano.

So, my current (interested layperson's) view: The human mind and the human brain are complementary yet distinct phenomena. While every mind-event has a physical representation in the brain, and without doubt many physical abnormalities in the brain can manifest in the mind and can therefore be treated by treating the brain, working reductively up from the brain toward the mind as the only acceptable path for treating all mental patients will IMHO eventually run afoul of an abstraction barrier similar to the one physics runs into at the level of DNA.

The title doesn't make any sense, and the lined article fails to make sense as well.

If the customer service sucks to the point that it diminishes a product's or service's value, the customer looks for better value. It is only in sectors where the government obstructs competition (well, most of them these days) where it is possible to provide a shitty service and hang onto your customers.

But that isn't because companies profit from providing shitty service but because they profit from barriers to entry created by the corrupt government.

Not necessarily and it depends on the region. If it's a wine region, yes, they usually make it from distilled wine. Otherwise it's made from fruit. Or both. For instance after one squeezes the grapes for wine, the leftover pulp and skin is used to make grape brandy (tescovina). Also leftover wine from filtering or from a barrel that was left less than half empty for a longer period and the wine oxydized is distilled to make wine brandy (vinars). They taste differently and are called differently. Tescovina has a more fruity flavour, while vinars tastes like pure alcohol with a mild grape skin or seed flavour. Other brandies in other regions are made mostly from fruit, either distilled once (rachiu, tuica) or twice (palinca) depending on the region. Usually in the north you have double distillation (like in Hungary) and in the south they distill it only once (like in Greece). And then of course there's grain alcohol but that's almost never home made but rather industrially produced. It's used to produce home made sweet fruit brandies from sour cherries or wild berries.
> where we should have (and ended on) docker / compose

We ended up doing this too.

Do you have any links to deploying docker-compose in production? We've not been able to find out much. However our solution seems to work well - am keen to find out how other people are managing host setup, updating and remotely controlling docker-compose

In our setup, we essentially use docker-compose as a process manager:

- Updates with docker-compose.yml via git syncs

- Logging via journald (which in turn is forwarded)

- Simple networking with `network: host` and managing
firewalls at the host level with dashboard/labelling

- Restarts / Launch on startup with `restart: always` policy

IMO, more straightforward in the past

1) Entrusting everything to a package manager or build script which might break on a new version release

2) Maintaining ansible script repository to do the host configuration, package management and updates for you - these too always need manual intervention on major version updates

I think the flag misses the point about the amazing technical capabilities of the satellite image by considering it as a purely political post.
This is just anecdotal, but I’ve found yellow cabs in SF in the past 4 years to be some of the worst cab experiences I’ve had anywhere. Drivers saying things that make me really uncomfortable, or seeming a little unstable, also driving more recklessly than the typical Uber or Lyft driver. To the point where even if I’m in an area like fisherman’s wharf now where yellow cabs are plentiful, I’d rather walk a couple blocks to a side street and call a rideshare car than take a taxi.

I know Uber and lyft are a bit unpopular on here these days but from my perspective as a rider, even aside from the convenience of hailing a ride anywhere, they are just such a better experience on average than taxis. The rating system seems to be a much stronger incentivizer of good behavior than the old fashioned taxi regulations were.
> Perhaps poor customer service should be considered an indicator that an antitrust breakup is needed.

No, it's an indicator that the government has successfully created enough barrier entries that market doesn't work well. Less regulation that "protects" customers and less government intrusion is the solution.

It's incredible to me that someone would mention the EU as an example of how to do things. It's the worst place for customers and the amount of tax governments steal on the account of protecting consumers surely dramatically outweighs aggregate benefits of such large scale fraud schemes such as those in the EU.

In the EU VAT is commonly 15-20%. Buy the same product or service anywhere else and you save 10-15%. Who in the world charges 10-15% for customer service? No one but the lazy and bloated European governments.

It all comes down to generating deterministic permutations instead of purely random numbers, since the intent is to avoid bad luck.

The most common permutation used is the AES S-Box, commonly available through various ISA extensions. There are many ways to generate permutations though, and it wouldn’t require a large complex algorithm to avoid a 1 in 10 chance event happening three times in a row or generating the entire permutation to be stored in memory.
Because as I diagrammed repeatedly, the problem is not “ads” as ritually impure funding model, but tracking. Safari and Brave block tracking. Edge and Firefox are late to this party and not yet blocking hard by default.

Are you willing to extend the 'no such thing as individual error' philosophy to management as well?

Managers also exist inside a structure, one which they may not have created themselves, or where they lack power to make unilateral changes. Managers also often work inside highly competitive environments (e.g. capitalism) where much deviation from the current norm can be disastrous for both the organization and themselves.

At some point, any practical moral philosophy needs to direct some individual to change their actions. Morality without responsibility is powerless.

A cool thing HTTP/2 provides is PING frames, which allow clients and servers to check if connections are still alive. In case your application can't turn on TCP keep-alives, you can enable it at the application layer. This allows both sides to know if the connection is still around and active, and avoids NAT boxes from removing long lived connections. Rather than wait around 5 minutes, or tune your system, you can control how quickly dead connections are discovered.
