Or at least go to your manager and make very clear that it is simply not possible to provide anything like 24/7 incident response when you are alone. That is the kind of conversation, where it is just better to get fired rather than not getting your point across.

The basic structure of the admin job is, that there is always more to do and it is very easy to burn out. There is always more to do, it is always important, but trying to chase some ideal of a perfect system will just exhaust you. Furthermore, it is not a big problem to check your monitoring before going to bed or a few times on the weekend, but that limits your rest periods to a few hours at best, you no longer get a full weekend, and that will grind you down over time. So, manage your time and sanity, and importantly also manage the expectations of your boss and co workers, there is only so much you can do when you're alone.
Dang is a bloody excellent moderator. I personally love his more talkative and eloquent tone, instead of the "can you stop", "just follow the rules or fuck off" attitude other moderators seem to have. He's a bit of a role model to me, so I do tend to try and watch how he moderates and blend it into my own style.

You need this to know if your web sites, servers and services are running, and to be emailed or contacted when not. I am used to Nagios. I understand there is a Nagios fork, Icinga, which I know little about. Some people use Graphite, which I also know little about.

You can also have it check for disks running out, high CPU loads, inodes running out, heavy I/O etc.

Also, you can email etc. alerts, or pay for a company like Amelia to monitor a dashboard and page/call people at night if a server is down, or to even do some simple scripted remediation attempts.

That song went viral during lockdowns, as it was a part of the deepfake video with the Minister of Health of that time, who had eyes with dark rings around them at the tv conferences (probably makeup), indicating he is working day and night to fight the pandemic. The healthcare quality decreased and the successes were only visible in state-controlled media, while multiple accusations of corruption in buying the medical equipment. Before he resigned, he complained that he can't stop himself reading multiple jokes and memes about him appearing online every day.

I think the problem is they want calculus in the curriculum and it is too late to be able to put it in context. There are some great uses for calculus that are accessible to many high school students. In particular, with physics you usually learn about capacitors and nuclear decay. Both of these cases are basically solving the differential equation y' = ky but:

- the physics course can’t depend on the concurrent maths course because you are allowed to take physics without taking maths, so you just learn weird equations full of exponential a instead of the ODE

- I think the maths course doesn’t even teach differential equations. They are in FP1 (from a separate ‘further maths’ course) but definitely not in AS (penultimate year of school) maths. Possibly a few turn up in A2 (final year) but then they can’t have any good examples from physics because not everyone doing maths will be able to depend on knowledge about what a capacitor is or how nuclear decay works. But I guess population models might work.

- there can be some better stuff in the further maths course (e.g. I think they might even have the ‘exponentiate a matrix’ solution to systems of first order linear ODEs)

>Of course the slave owners don't want the slaves to stop serving them.

Even if they did, we'd all starve if it happened in an unorganised way. I'm toying with a postindustrial fiction setting where one of the libertarian-inspired factions is explicit about this - capitalists whose highest value is freedom, where anyone can mint as much currency as they like, but it's backed by hours working as a slave. The eventual goal of the society is to have nobody redeem slave-tokens any more, but of course a lot of people's individual goals are more about accumulating as many slave-tokens as possible. I think it would take that kind of massive collective intelligence to really solve such a fundamental contradiction like our love for freedom and our love of telling other people what to do.
I agree completely that I'm coming at this with a lot of background knowledge, but if I'm reading in an unfamiliar field and I see a symbol I don't recognise, I look in the surrounding text to see if the symbol appears nearby. As I say, "Δt" appears immediately above ... that's a clue. As you say, it's drilled in at school that everything is represented by a single glyph, and if these are juxtaposed then it means multiplication, and that is another thing to unlearn.

But I think the problem isn't the specifics of the "Δ", it's the meta-problem of believing that symbols have a "one true meaning" instead of being defined by the scope.

I agree that explaining the delta notation would be helpful, but that's like giving someone a fish, or making them a fire. They are fed for one day, or warm for one night, it's the underlying misconceptions that need addressing so they can learn to fish and be fed, or set on fire and be warm, for the remainder of their life.
Apparently they will eventually recognize shots approved by the WHO:

The European Commission is proposing that member states should continue welcoming all travelers inoculated with shots approved by the bloc, according to a document seen by Bloomberg. It also called for countries to reopen as of Jan. 10 to all those who have used vaccines approved by the World Health Organization.

But the conundrum on booster shots continues:

The proposed updates introduce the new time limit for the validity of Covid inoculations, making clear that boosters will be needed beyond the 9-month period. But the EU said it wasn’t ready to propose a validity period for certificates issued based on booster shots.

At some point the author seems to forget what he said before about the NFT not containing the scans themselves. He accepts Miramax’s premise that what Tarantino proposes to sell is an image of the script, but he wouldn’t be selling that at all. He would be uploading the images to the internet for all to see. The only thing sold would be a hash if the image or its url.
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Tutorial for Arduino Using BleuIO
The project is a simple example showcasing a quick way to setup an Arduino with a USB Host Shield as a USB CDC Host capable of communicating with the BleuIO Dongle.

When a BleuIO Dongle is connected to the USB port, the BleuIO Dongle will start advertising. It will then act as a terminal, taking input and sending data to the Arduino Virtual Com Port.

We have used an Arduino Uno Rev. 3 with SparkFun’s USB Host Shield (DEV-09947) for this example.

If a carrier is willing to shoot at Chinese ships and close enough to reliably do so, then the Chinese are willing to shoot at it and are close enough to reliably do so.

Chinese antiship weapons are significantly better than the US. Without immediately inducing Kessler syndrome and still being very lucky, I don't see how a US carrier is going to survive two dozen DF-21 missiles simultaneously, a couple hundred supersonic cruise missiles, and whatever submarines or UUVs the Chinese have got lurking there.

The US fleets most advanced weapon, SM-6, still can't reliably intercept MRBMs or SRBMs(https://www.defensedaily.com/mda-conducts-sm-6-missile-raid-..., https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/us-fails-...) and has never intercepted a single IRBM. I struggle to see how it can possibly defend against dozens of IRBMs with advanced countermeasures that aren't on a predefined trajectory if it can't even hit a single one with no countermeasures. And by the way, they're building over 100 missiles a year. They could realistically have 1000 antiship IRBMs in a few year - more antiship IRBMs alone than the combined amount of interceptors of all carriers the US could hope to deploy within 8000km of Taiwan.

Right now the best the US can do is try to jam the missiles and deploy smoke, and hope they miss, which they probably won't.

A US carrier group in Taiwan's territorial waters is 100% getting absolutely wiped. The US will never risk getting their carriers that close to Chinese weapons, they'll stay thousands of kilometers away and hope for the best.

The US's best hope is to keep its assets far away from the theater and cooperate with Taiwan to try to whittle away the Chinese fleet and prevent them from setting up a beachhead, and hope the Chinese air defences, low-frequency radars, and signals intelligence platforms can't stop the counterattack.

The Chinese also won't need a million soldiers. They just need to get a few dozen thousand on the shores with air superiority and disable the Taiwanese military then take as much time as they want pacifying the island.

> In this case study, I will go over our Youtube optimization strategy that helped KalariLab scale from 2,000 views per year to over 2,400 views per day, in a little over one month, without uploading any new videos.

Quite an impressive milestone to say the least. It's nice to see how they have planned this whole thing out, executed on it, and it's obviously worked quite well. On the other hand, fixating on social media algorithms can drive you absolutely bat-shit; as a personal anecdote, I used to be addicted to getting more 'impressions' on Twitter. But that got me nothing. These platforms are designed to batter your mental health for the maximum engagement. In this case, increasing 'views per year' works very well for YouTube: the channel operator is drawing more views to the website as a whole. Then, of course, YouTube generates revenue from advertising to those users.

I shall leave you with my sentiment, and good job Chillital!

NFTs are actually a good way to enforce data portability. A big NFT website recently was deleted by its webmaster.

Since everything was open source, and the JPEGs/art were hosted on IPFS, the commnity quite simply rebuilt the website frontend and nothing was lost.

This is the strength of having a decentralised open source blockchain - suddenly digital asset ownership can be "established" even if their utility for now is close to nil. But that's allowed a vibrant digital art market to explode.
Armchair philosopher - From my reading, it appears that the corporation structure really took stronghold in Europe, giving huge incentives to tinkers and risk takers.

That, and the collapse of Dutch East India outposts to British East India company opened up access to new trade. Resources from the new world also jumpstarted the process. It was the perfect combo of corporate incentives and unrestricted access to global resources that propelled people to wealthier lives and thus, higher level of productivity (you can spend years researching on steam engines if you don't have to spend your life farming). This is exactly the state of America since after WW2, if you were to compare.

In comparison, China was not handed any colonies, lacked the corporation structure and was caught up in dynastic infighting. There was no new world to extract resources from and almost certainly wasn't united the way it is today.

No systemic incentive structure and inability to access global resources left people in poverty or produced little in the way of innovation.
In the book The Right To Be Lazy (1883), Paul Lafargue talks about how work became a sacred thing and argues that automation (138 years ago!) "could easily reduce working hours to three or four hours a day".

Some quotes from the book:

"A strange delusion possesses the working classes of the nations where capitalist civilization holds its sway. This delusion drags in its train the individual and social woes which for two centuries have tortured sad humanity. This delusion is the love of work, the furious passion for work, pushed even to the exhaustion of the vital force of the individual and his progeny. Instead of opposing this mental aberration, the priests, the economists and the moralists have cast a sacred halo over work...."

"Aristotle's dream is our reality. Our machines, with breath of fire, with limbs of unwearying steel, with fruitfulness, wonderful inexhaustible, accomplish by themselves with docility their sacred labor. And nevertheless the genius of the great philosophers of capitalism remains dominated by the prejudice of the wage system, worst of slaveries. They do not yet understand that the machine is the saviour of humanity, the god who shall redeem man from the sordidae artes and from working for hire, the god who shall give him leisure and liberty. The Greeks in their era of greatness had only contempt for work: their slaves alone were permitted to labor: the free man knew only exercises for the body and mind. And so it was in this era that men like Aristotle, Phidias, Aristophanes moved and breathed among the people; it was the time when a handful of heroes at Marathon crushed the hordes of Asia, soon to be subdued by Alexander. The philosophers of antiquity taught contempt for work, that degradation of the free man, the poets sang of idleness, that gift from the Gods: O Melibae Deus nobis haec otia fecit."
There is no single authoritative source for mathematical notation. That said, there are a lot of common conventions. You could do worse than this NIST document if it's just a notation question:

Of course, if the real problem is that you need to learn some mathematical constructs, that is a different problem. The good news is that there's a lot of material online, the bad news is that not all of it is good... I often like Khan Academy when it covers the topic.

I wish you luck!

Also, backups are kind of thankless - no one ever puts backup maintenance on your schedule, but if a machine goes down everyone expects you have a backup from three weeks ago and that they can retrieve all the data from it. You also have to poll people as to what needs to be backed up. You need to do test recoveries. Some backups should be offsite, and the policy around that should be communicated to managers.

Maybe a problem is trying to learn it by reading it.

I was a college math major, and I admit that I might have flunked out had I been told to learn my math subjects by reading them from the textbooks without the support of the classroom environment. It may be that the books are "easy to read if a teacher is teaching them to you."

Talking and writing math also helped me. Maybe it's easier to learn a "language" if it's a two way street and involves more of the senses.

Perhaps a substitute to reading the stuff straight from a book might be to find some good video lectures. Also, work the chapter problems, which will get your brain and hands involved in a more active way.

As others might have mentioned, there's no strict formal math notation. It's the opposite of a compiled programming language. In fact, math people who learn programming are first told: "The computer is stupid, it only understands exactly what you write." In math, you're expected to read past and gloss over the slight irregularities of the language and fill in gaps or react to sudden introduction of a new symbol or notational form by just rolling with it.

The US has no hope to even possibly defend surface naval assets in the Taiwan strait or its periphery. A carrier strike group literally doesn't have as many interceptors as the Chinese could fire missiles at them from that distance.

The US will have to leave the Taiwan strait waters to China and attempt to strike as many Chinese boats there as they can from a distance in the air.
