excerpt:-

> Newton came to calculus as part of his investigations in physics and geometry. He viewed calculus as the scientific description of the generation of motion and magnitudes. In comparison, Leibniz focused on the tangent problem and came to believe that calculus was a metaphysical explanation of change. Importantly, the core of their insight was the formalization of the inverse properties between the integral and the differential of a function.

Why not automatically direct developers to an auto-escalation form when something small like this gets violated.

The form could first strongly discourage the use of trademarks.

But then provide fields for escalating the user of the trademark, based on the developers description of why the trademark is required to describe basic functionality of their app.

Auto-escalation options seem like a good thing for an iron gatekeeper to be providing if they want to reduce frustration with the shadow they are casting over techdom.
It's the cycle of innovation. Like a cat retching up a hair ball. It repeats over and over, until finally something is coughed up. Except in technology it takes years instead of seconds.

Just like MongoDB gaining mindshare - because webscale - only for people to realise those relationships and structured types were actually quite good at keeping your data clean.

A big problem with Serverless in this context is that then you're Serverless which seems to be declining faster than Lambda now. Same for adding other abstractions on top, they're flavour du jour.

I agree Lambda is too low level, but it probably also explains its longevity.

Longevity is activity, understanding your BRM, and extra if you aren't seeing results is microbiome stuff like eating foods that don't mess with your micro biome like artificial sweetners.

As an aside: I doubt many people will trust this but if you're all about your micro biome and found there isn't much science around your specific scenario are willing to try weird things, try going off what's recommended for your Ayurveda types. Which is surprisingly finding traction in other aspects of psychology and nutrition but still very early. Just drop the spiritual stuff and take that as what their explanations why there are results from diet effecting mental health and a way to preserve it over this many generations

Best as in best written, along with K&R—Brian Kernighan co-authoring both can't be an accident!—it's just a pleasure to read. I use it as a model when writing documentation myself. They get you started using AWK literally on page 1. Later they get into the details of particular use cases—profiling, making DSL interpreters/compilers, random text generation, making indexes, a graph-drawing language, databases, data validation etc etc. All in under 200 pages!

And best as in most useful—I use AWK every day for all kinds of things–web scraping, rearranging and creating data for programs, meta-programming etc. So easy to make whatever tool's needed for a job.

CDMA phones never needed SIM until LTE came along. I once had a Verizon "global" featurephone that supported both CDMA and 2G GSM. It had a Verizon SIM for the GSM side but wasn't otherwise needed for non-roaming connectivity over CDMA.
American's views of freedoms are a little wonky. In most of the world you can go about life with many transport options. You could drive, you could walk, you could ride a bike. While in the US the only realistic option is to drive.

In a personal freedoms sense, I would think that Europeans have more personal freedom since they have more realistic options to pick from.

"Everybody" is a tricky feat, especially with personal variations in acuity and all the bizarre pressures pleading for the plebians to make a sole contribution to science in the form of trust or faith. But perhaps healthy humility, ability to Not-understand patiently enough to avoid dogma, a natural or cultivated respect for objectivity, a rugged tolerance for ugly truths, and as counterintuitive and unscientific as it may seem yet most important of any cognitive factor in my view, kindness -- you can try a 'for those who deserve it' approach, but one must be extraordinary to accomplish it without much error. If kindness proves impossible, critical thinking may compensate. Blend them to become a really cool human.

That's probably a bunch of shit, though it makes sense to me despite my deficiencies, which is possibly why I'm not a scientist™, but not incognizant.

Edit to contradict myself: I also think we need a prudent fear of ourselves, individually and foremost, collectively. Not caustic cynicism, but sober trepidation.
Mindfulness is an invaluable tool for victims of trauma, to ground them in the 'here and now', when they are overwhelmed by floods of uncontrollable emotions.

These emotions are the result of biological, not cognitive, processes. Mindfulness is one of several tools that help to dampen emotions as victims ('survivors') learn to 'process' traumatic memories.

The Body Keeps the Score, by Bessel van der Kolk, is the canonical work on the subject of trauma - highly recommended for anyone interested in psychology!

'Mindlessness' might have its place too. The idea of letting go, allowing the subconscious to take over... could that be an important part of healing?
I'm from Asia, but I have visited USA and Europe.

In Asia and Europe, turn signals are orange blinkers at the rear. They are distinct from the red brake lights which are a whole different element.

In USA, it's the brake lights that blink when you turn on the turn signal! And it blinks in red! There's no orange.

Who decided that was a great idea?!

The first time I was in USA, this red element started blinking in the car in front of me, and for a moment I was confused.

- I didn't even realise turning was his intention.

- When I did realise turning is his intention, I thought the owner of that particular car modified his tail lights, because he thought it was cool. Eventually I realized the brake lights blink for all newish cars.

Also, for new European cars (like, BMWs and Audis in particular), the orange blinkers that we get in Asia/Europe actually look pretty cool, with some sweeping orange LEDs designs in some cases. Too bad America misses out on that.
Hmm. I usually see "nominal" in this context as "matched on basis on type name", as opposed to "matched on basis of isomorphism" ("structural").

Sounds like they need a Star Wars themed Automat.
Actually that simplistic approach crashes if the value of the string goes out of range or the string contains invalid characters for the base. For commercial quality code dealing with user input you need to do your own checking char by char and assemble the result using multipliedReportingOverflow and addingReportingOverflow. The char by char processing is a pain given you can't really take the value of a Character the way you can in other languages and end up having to feed them through a map. In the end my correct bulletproof implementation is only about a page of code, but it was awkward to write.

Are 8 hour shifts healthy for patients? More handovers is strongly correlated with poorer patient outcomes. We need to strike a balance between the falloff in ability that comes with consecutive hours awake past a certain point, and minimizing handover.
I wonder, have you considered Vega output? (https://vega.github.io/vega)
True, though I suspect this probably has more to do with the rise of German nationalism in the 1840s, including a few revolutionary unification attempts. The German language itself was a major political issue of the day.

In some sense, whenever there's a choice (or a checkpoint) between two branches, each branch should morally get its own copy of the world; and effects should only leak out when both branches incur the same observable effect. (This is motivated by the logical law `(A v B) ^ (A -> C) ^ (B -> C) -> C`.)

Of course, that's hard to do when interacting with external systems!

Where Has All the Education Gone?
Education doesn't seem to have much effect on economic growth. Why not?

> Cross-national data show no association between increases in human capital attributable to the rising educational attainment of the labor force and the rate of growth of
output per worker. This implies that the association of educational capital growth with
conventional measures of total factor production is large, strongly statistically significant, and negative. These are “on average” results, derived from imposing a constant
coefficient. However, the development impact of education varied widely across countries
and has fallen short of expectations for three possible reasons. First, the institutional/
governance environment could have been sufficiently perverse that the accumulation
of educational capital lowered economic growth. Second, marginal returns to education could have fallen rapidly as the supply of educated labor expanded while demand
remained stagnant. Third, educational quality could have been so low that years of
schooling created no human capital. The extent and mix of these three phenomena vary
from country to country in explaining the actual economic impact of education, or the
lack thereof.
Ah, no morals please, they're such a waste of good lawyering.

Do you know what comes next? If not then designing for requirements that may not exist is likely to take your code in the wrong direction.
Chaskiq v0.9.0: how I built a Customer Satisfaction engine in 1 hour
I don't think that logic is at the root of most sciences, if at all. The statistical tools which science employs may have logical underpinnings, but the theories formed by science aren't axiomatic. For example, there is hardly any enthusiasm for axiomatizing physics by either mathematicians or physicists.

Science is also very comfortable with holding competing theories, whereas in conventional logic that would be "explosively" destructive.
This. Even in Christian circles, many major works remain in Latin because publishers know they can't profitably commission the effort. This creates a situation in which for-profit publishers occasionally fund non-profit translation efforts to preserve the history.

For example, a shockingly small amount of John Calvin's works are translated into English. Regardless of what a person thinks of his theology, his influence on the rise of democracy in post-Reformation Europe and the Americas is staggering.

Care to explain more? I though they were over engineered compared to bare bones JSON. For e.g. JSON schema is still catching up to XML schema and the ecosystem it had back then (XSLT, XPATH) etc.

XML is of course heavy weight, but we should compare YAML against XML, not JSON - JSON doesn't have for e.g. comments, CDATA etc.

Document the design choices you made and why.

That's it. That's your answer. If anything, spend even less time worrying about 'proper' abstractions. As you've seen, you'll wind up guessing wrong and making more work for yourself/other future maintainer as often as not. Keep it simple.

At some nebulous future endpoint, if a client reaches a growth stage where they are ready to take the next step beyond small-scale prototyping, great! It's a good problem to have. Ignore the code you've written and instead read the history of your design decisions that got you to where you are. Business workflow will have co-evolved, and some of your decisions would now flow differently if re-evaluated. Write down the changes, and there's your rough draft spec sheet for version 2.0.

What?! You literally cannot emigrate to Canada if you don't either go through the super harsh pointing system or fill a specific labor need. In both cases, the intent is very clearly to only allow in people who will be economically productive for Canadian companies. Good luck immigrating without a degree or without a contract.

Even sponsorship/spousal immigration is super unforgiving, since you are on the hook for any money the state ends up spending on the people you bring in, especially if it's social spending.

The only real exception is refugees but we send tons of them back and don't take anywhere close to the same amount of illegal immigrants as the US does. We also have agricultural labor immigration but again, it's nothing but Canada wanting cheap labor since they have to go back at the end of the summer with almost 0 exceptions.

But your feeling is pretty widespread here, Canadians really like to think way way too highly of ourselves especially on immigration. When keep in mind, if your refugee status gets denied here you are almost assured to be deported, which is not the case in the US. In that regards the Canadian immigration policy is much more colonial and centered around a transactional relationship, which is also somewhat the case in the US but at least they have the very humane lottery system, DACA, etc.

You shouldn't be mindful in a way that interferes with your ability to perform automatic actions. You need non-dual mindfulness, but it's a bit subtle and harder to teach (not harder to do, just harder to get started). Non-dual mindfulness can make you more spontaneous and perform automatic actions better in that you're not self-hindering with internal friction.

From the article: "When YouTube learned that someone had apparently impersonated one of their executives at a business meeting, its security team started an investigation, the company confirmed to me.

Discrete Fourier Transform is probably the most accurate way to describe the mathematical transformation which is being applied. Albeit it is very popular to say FFT when what is meant is Fourier transform or DFT, it is a bit like talking about sorting but calling it Quicksort despite it being a specific algorithm.
Hospitals and contractors are great examples of professional fields where job roles are well-defined and the hours worked are carefully tracked. When contractors get too busy, they tell clients their project is delayed. When ER or ICU resources are maxed out, they stop accepting patients and send them to other nearby hospitals. When clinics are fully booked, they stop making appointments.

I understand what you’re saying about a problem solving mindset, but that is not the issue in burnout. The issue is unrealistic volumes and deadlines that encroach too far into the rest of your life.

Personal boundaries exist in medicine, in fact they are essential to surviving a career in medicine. There will always be more sick, injured, and dying people. The hospital has the mission to save them all if it can. An individual doctor or nurse has to understand that they personally cannot. Or they will burn out very fast.

Overworked tech companies could benefit from some perspective from the medical field. Is someone going to die if your feature misses its ship date? Probably not. People die in ERs every day, but guess what: ER staff still work a fixed set of hours, take vacations, etc.
