I think there's no other way. You have to observe the fact that the attractive force obeys the inverse square law. That's not measurable with experiments here on earth without extremely advanced modern instruments, so that makes it's effects only really observable on the motion of astronomical bodies. Historically this was the observation that orbits follow elliptical paths. Absent that you'd need some other observation that would lead you to the same conclusion.

Great article, and I this particularly brought back memories for me:

> [...] in some instances you might work with vast quantities of data, or deal with transactional systems that just don’t easily fit the operational limitations of relational databases. And in those cases, you should consider moving some, or all, of your data into a non-relational database.

I've worked with a big application that utilised this approach with good results.

The overall problem was that we had an application tailored for a specific country, but needed to expand to other countries. One of the specific problems was that we needed to store addresses and related data differently for each of the countries' users, and this didn't fit well with the current database schema.

Our solution was to move the typing of this information to the application layer, and just store the arbitrary data in a NoSQL solution. This worked perfectly, and to my knowledge it's still working without a glitch.

This was before RDBMS solutions supported JSON, and if I were to do this again, I'd probably just continue to use MySQL, PostgreSQL or whatever, and store it as JSON in the database.

So, yes, you can get the best of both worlds, but I would _never_ use a NoSQL solution to store all the application's data, independent of the type of application.

Connectors cover many non functional requirement attributes which like you point out de risk the project.

Components and their behaviors is where the functional requirements are and also many non functional requirements are handled. There is tons of architecture and design space when it comes to e.g. the SOLID patterns (applied to components not objects) and the onion architecture comes into play. So there is tons of interesting stuff to do with components.

About derisking: the core pillar of architecture when it comes to Microservices is finding the right bounded context. This massively de-risk projects as well. It is not so much technical architecture like the mentioned connectors but analysis of the requirements.

Architecture on that level is very interesting.

> imho the best software is written to [...]

What do you mean by "best"? If it is supposed to be judged by the original author of the software alone, your opinion does not matter. If you think your opinion of software written by others matters, then BAM, you've acknowledged what you set out to refute, i.e. Software is written for (or at least its quality can be judged by) other humans. (Unless you're actually a GPT-3 bot in disguise, in which case you win :D)

What you might have shown is that software not written for others can still be great in the eyes of other people, but even that is somewhat nuanced. IIRC one of Linus' egotistical outbursts was triggered by a kernel dev intentionally breaking user-space compatibility. At least in this case Linus' example doesn't support your claims.

I also don't see why "software is written for other humans" necessarily snuffs the fun or interesting aspects out of it. There certainly are large number of un-fun software that serves a commercial purpose, but it doesn't mean that fun software has to be anti-social. Even entries submitted to IOCCC (purposely obfuscated C code written purely for fun) sometimes lead to useful stuff (Fabrice Bellard's work).

> "Just in case"

Nice, I had not heard this term before. It's a very apt description of the current system of un-motivated learning.

> "Just in time",

This has a lot of potential in conjunction with project-based learning (PBL). Instead of "pushing" knowledge down into student's heads, we could let them "pull" the knowledge they need, when they need it (e.g. need to learn exponential function to complete some calculations in a personal project).

> "Just for me"

Is this referring to personalized lesson plans? If every kid has a private tutor it would be nice (two-sigma effect), but if anyone is hoping for ML solutions for education, then hey will wait for a long time. Education and learning is very nuanced and complicated, so we'll need A LOT of training data to make recommender systems and automated learning pathways work anywhere close to what a trained teacher/mentor can do.

The downfall of ruqqus began when they (ruqqus) banned mgtow, who had migrated from reddit after a ban there, and a bunch of other guilds, and failed to provide a good reason for that or evidence of broken rules. This contrasted sharply with the free speech forum promise that ruqqus had been promoting before. Then the ruqqus admins said that they "pivoted" to be more an open source project and less a free speech community. And then of course everyone just left and ruqqus became a wasteland.

Super relevant use case: you are making an app for multiple platforms, say iOS and android. You have some common logic, but for the most part the apps are separate, native apps. This would let you write the common part once, without needing to do something like drop down to c++ and then do native interop from swift and Java.

I can see replenishment of the water tables being a concern, if everyone (or a good percentage, at least) started doing so. Add to that concerns about disrupting existing ecosystems, and I could see at least a partway compelling case that could be made.

This is not quite true, but indeed it is typically true that there is some ability for certain politicians to veto the appointment of judges, and in some countries (esp. the US) this has led to politicisation of the whole process of appointments (which I do actually regard as a failure of the rule of law), so what I wrote was also not quite true. And of course in the US and Canada, the appointment to the Supreme Court is entirely political, although there are substantial checks on the executive.

However, the context was talking about firing of judges. That is far more important. It is the difference between what is happening in the US (which leads to bad judicial activism, but not a complete breakdown of the rule of law) and Nazi Germany (apologies for violating Godwin's law, but since I live in Germany and my wife and kids are German, I feel I have the right to violate it once per year).

Some people here really ought to replace Pfizer with Google or Facebook and re-read their sentences.

According to some comments here, we have a purely free market and all actors are benevolent, there are no profit incentives "for the worse" (at all, that is, let me quote: "conspiratorial thinking" to think that people are motivated by profits) and so forth, but only as so far as we are talking about COVID-19.

I typically read the exact opposites when there are discussions about Facebook, Google, or the market in general.

I think your solution here was to move the typing to the application layer, which kind of makes sense because that's where you know the locale. But why also move the data to NoSQL, I don't see what that would add. If you had already removed the typing from the relation DB I think that would have worked as well, or am I missing something?

People don't really have "profits". You could argue that some amount of money people make is used to pay for food, shelter etc and then treat the rest as "profit". In that case a progressive income tax system does tax individuals on "profit" because the first dollars you earn are either not taxed or taxed at a very low rate.
> It's not about double spend.

The wait for confirmation is exactly to avoid double spend (but not only), as the Bitcoin wiki says[0].

> It's entirely possible two miners successfully mine a block simultaneously but one of the miners didn't include your transaction in the block they mined.

The example you make would work with just 1 block of confirmation, just keep try to include the transaction into the next block.

> longest blockchain wins, so whichever gets the most participants is likely to be the final blockchain

It's more about hashrate power rather than number of participants, however the longest blockchain of confirmed blocks wins, unconfirmed blocks may be invalidated and transactions pushed to the next ones or dropped.

> I'm not certain what it takes to be dropped from the mempool.

After 2 weeks[1] the transaction is considered invalid and should get dropped from the mempool (not all nodes use the same software version or they may run a fork with different settings)

One of the annoying things about humans is they are profoundly evidence based. In the case of the currency collapse, the average punter isn't going to be persuaded that it is possible until they've seen it. Just like how COVID caught a lot of people by surprise, people who apparently hadn't realised that pandemics are still possible and actually quite high risk.

There is just too much fear of things that don't exist and not enough fear of genuine honest-to-goodness authoritarianism. The more power accrues to governments to make everyone's decisions, the more the mistakes are going to hurt. Eventually, one is going to be so bad it does a lot of damage. Given the failure of the response to the GFC and attempts to maintain liberties through the coronavirus crisis, I really don't see this fight ending well. Technology has enabled authoritarian policies too effectively.

If it is naive the LPs signed off and agree with the strategy.

If it’s not, it differentiates them from competitors. Until you’ve received a 35 page word document from a big public company with bullet point questions (their “standard” catch all set) it’s hard to describe the sheer pain of certain diligence; it can take a team of 6-8 people up to 2-3 weeks to turn something (depending how much you prepared by predicting requests and prepopulating the answers into data room before).

Having worked in financial services, my intuition suggests they are correct. For example once on a buy side engagement helping a client find and acquire bolt-ons (outsourced Corp dev essentially), ran across a company where something didn’t feel right. Did exactly what the Tiny guys did: looked at the bank statements and credit card info and built my own set of financials from scratch in roughly a day. It’s doable.

Now… also had the opposite happen and found some really eyebrow raising stuff over the years. Probably more often than not at least something borderline material shows up if you dig deep and far back enough. The partner at large fund once told me: “No deal is perfect; if you waited for the perfect company you’d never invest.”
