Nice project!

I'm wondering why you choose to implement your own cryptography routines instead of using something standard like TLS. Apparently your `DecryptData` and `Encrypt` methods are vulnerable to replay attacks due to a lack of (EC)DH-style key exchange.
>get rid of the buzzwords such as 'SEO' and 'accessibility' to just think of putting the customer first

>a customer first ethos and not treat them as 'disabled'

That's a weird way of phrasing it. It sounds to me like you try to play accessibility and customer focus against each other. I'd argue that speaking about "customers" instead of "humans" is counterproductive and only some kind of commercial websites like online shops could be compared to a retail businesses. Also, "accessibility" is not a buzzword.

Maybe you could get comfortable with the term universal/inclusive design?

https://sayyeah.com/digital-insights/universal-design-access...

>Text might be below the size Google deems 'accessible'

Which Google guidelines you are referring to?

>Making that text big and chunky might upset designers who want the customer to be browsing by pictures not words.

Do you assume good design and accessibility can't go together? Developing an accessible product generally means that ideally everyone involved has some basic knowledge about a11y. I totally agree that using "SEO" to justify certain decisions is (almost always) a bad idea. Referring to detailed guidelines like the WCAG may be helpful in order to get everyone on board. Obviously designers will get frustrated when told without explanation or context that their design needs to be changed in favor of a11y.

> The characters are just obviously incompetent and/or malicious.

Maybe Sarah, but I think the book makes at least three good points: (1) It is challenging to get an organization to change and to stop viewing IT/Ops as a cost center; (2) It is critical that IT/Ops understands how the business works; (3) Getting the organization to the point that The Thee Ways of DevOps are implemented requires cooperation between Dev and Ops to create the feedback loops necessary for both improvement of daily work and continual experimentation. This necessitates buy-in from management to try new things.

The book is based on The Goal by Eli Goldrat, and while it may be a bit heavy-handed in the portrayal of some characters, IMO it gets at the point that transforming a company’s culture is hard while also illustrating some of the steps necessary to get there.
In these cases like Haiti, or (much of central America) I'm more interested in how to possibly fix things now. It just seems to get worse every year. How to build success and stabilty? USA has resources to fix things but rarely seems to be good at developing poorer countries. Europe has had more success but still has countries falling apart in North Africa.
IDK.

If you're in one of these too-small-high-pressure teams, and then all these extra "resources" get poured in... It can go quite badly too. IMO, engineers themselves are sometimes responsible by leaning on "we need more resources."
That's a conclusion that's pretty much contrary to the best available science.
Putting my “Game Theory” hat and “Systems Thinking” hat.

Given the “Law of Induced Demand”, can anyone here explain to me why cheap housing is possible?

I would think that all these systems (as in, systems thinking) are functioning the way it supposed to be.

Overpopulation will eventually result in population decline. Because it is too expensive, not enough space/resource, everyone wants the same location, jobs, etc. System oscillates.

The comment hits closer to the bullseye than you realize. When you buy into an engine like UE and especially Unity you look at the successes on consoles but in reality you're in for a world of hurt if you want to achieve the same level of perf on the older consoles. It's like the difference between a stock WRX and a rally team prepped WRX - same car sure but the perf is vastly different and if you want to compete on that level you have a lot more work ahead of you.

Extend alphabetical names to alphabetical descriptions and you have a countable number of irrationals.

It's a bit suspicious that we can't name or describe any of the uncountable irrational numbers, isn't it? Not even a single example.

Cantor's proof is not constructive. It doesn't name an example. If you enumerated all irrationals based on the algorithm required to calculate them then the contradiction in Cantor's diagonalization proof just turns into a failure to terminate. But that suggests that there are fewer irrationals than integers, not more.
Yes. I was thinking in the lines of Karp's 21 NP-complete problems or Hilbert's problems. There is indeed a Lists of unsolved problems page in Wikipedia itself (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_unsolved_problems). That is why the Wikenigma site in the original post sounded a bit redundant, though nothing wrong with a wiki focused on just that.
> Design your organisation to minimise collaboration between teams, but have high collaboration within the team.

After the revolution (1791), Napoleon sent an Army of 60,000 Europeans (French and Polish) to reconquer Haiti, that Army was defeated. The shock of this loss and the shock of the subsequent defeat cannot be overstated,

France humiliated, and the United States panicked by this huge slave revolt-imposed trade blockades and sanction's on Haiti

Haiti (1825) was compelled to pay France reparations (equivalent of 32 billion in 2022) for the loss of the slaves... this was an extreme national debt.

Haiti of course had no immediate ability to pay the debt, after decades of isolation. The first payments required taking further loans from French banks and American banks causing the debt to only increase, these loans were backed by giving control over natural resources and monopolies to foreign entities.

(This is a pattern well known and understood today)

Haiti is simply the first country in the world to enter the debt-trap spiral, and of course the longest to be in a debt trap spiral. A wholesale transfer of wealth from Haiti to the USA/France.

The result of all of this is that Haiti entered the modern world with very small and weak governments, with very low infrastructure, and educational support, with most of what ever remained of an economy controlled by foreigners and foreign interests.

It is difficult to see how any nation in this situation, can turn it around.

I'm struggling to follow your analogy. The Reign of Terror (slavery on Haiti?) fed into a reactionary White Terror (1804 massacre?), which in turn led to the rise of another brutal dictator and the return of all that was bad about the monarchy. Is that right?
Did you even read the listing? This is the fakest fake that ever faked. Why does this "independently published" Berserk colouring book make no reference to the original author, the Japanese publisher of the original or the English publisher? The description reads like a totally generic description of a children's colouring book, and makes multiple references to "relaxation" and "stress reduction", and being for "kids" with "small hands". This is a Berserk colouring book. You know, the manga series notorious for featuring extreme violence, psychological horror and sexual content. Nothing in it is relaxing or remotely suitable for children.

The pattern continues with the other listings, why does a Fortnite colouring book spell "Fortnite" wrong? Twice, and differently each time using an unlikely homoglyph? Why isn't it being listed on the Epic Games Amazon store with the other Fortnite books? All of which mention being "official" when this one doesn't. Why does the description claim "unique" and "hand drawn" art yet the preview show clearly automatically vectorised screenshots or key visuals? And I don't even play Fortnite, so this isn't even some deep insider knowledge.

Someone clearly has a script to pull images of trending IPs from a search engine, vectorise them and then sell them as 'colouring books' on Amazon through PoD with generic descriptions. There's similar rackets with notebooks, t-shirts, mouse mats and mugs through other PoD services.
It is sort-of like writing an article about the horrors of totalitarian concentration camps, spending a lot of time on Nazi Germany, meanwhile quickly mentioning the Soviet Union as a country next door, but studiously avoiding any mention of the gulags or the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact.

In that situation, one does not have to be a Nazi whitewasher to be somewhat suspicious about the author's agenda. Not every story can cover every detail, but some omissions are glaring.

My response is trying to poke a hole in what Glawen said to deflect.
I think you're right. When push comes to shove size has consequences. Specifically, the bigger the animal, the bigger the torque on every movement. This means bigger animals move slower (more accurately: "can't change speed"). In the case of Woolly Mammoths and dinosaurs ... a lot slower. Their turning radius, certainly at speed, will be something like that of a truck.

This means that whilst outrunning a T-Rex might be difficult, it should work like a bull: you have zero chance when running away from a bull that's trying to attack you. So don't. However, if you just avoid the bull by going sideways (walking speed is more than enough, there is no real need or the showy stuff toreadors perform at bull fights) and let it attack you until it tires (and collapses), at which point you calmly walk over and kill it with a pointy stick ... yes it takes some practice but it's definitely going to be how such fights would go in practice.

Worse: it's not like humans are the only animals that are capable of figuring this out.
TFA is entirely about synthesizing transportable hydrocarbon energy storage.

But making methane is inferior to making ammonia, because extracting the diffuse carbon you need from air takes up energy. It does not displace any more CO2 emission, because somebody will burn it and dump the CO2 back into the atmosphere again.

So, the only reason to make hydrocarbons is for things like your chainsaw or A320 that are not worth replacing immediately.
The primary use case is for shuffling around files or clipboards between different computers. I also regularly use the url-sharing capability.

Prior, I had to deal with ephemeral http servers, which I didn't like from an ergonomic perspective.

Ergonomically, I find redis nice. The problem is, that it is in-memory and that encryption is cumbersome. Also, kvass is able to be used offline, as the kv-store is implemented as a CRDT.
In the past, I recall a noticeable difference between uk and us developers, and I would think this has persisted (particularly vs. SV). If this is the case, it makes sense to look for lower cost areas in the uk (or Ireland?) that has sufficient worker and power density. The time zone difference isn’t horrible, nor is the language difference. Just not in the London or probably Oxbridge area. Similar uni and tech environment.

Although I wonder whether the uk would count of “hiring remote” rather than offshoring as the costs are way higher than the usual places.
It is not all or nothing. From today viewpoint, slave freedom and compensation from slaveowners is a legitimate goal, while confiscation of property (especially of non-slaveowners) and genocide is not defensible.

> You can observe them infecting and lysing cells in real time.

Where? How?

> proving Koch's postulates for at least one virus is trivial.

I thought Koch's postulates were too strict for virologists... And hence were relaxed. (lol)

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5182102/

Can you show a somewhere the old postulates are all met for a virus?

> It doesn't depend on genome sequencing. That just helps us understand what proteins they make and why they vary.

And, not totally unimportant, to ID the particle we're looking at.

> While both can be used in virology, the trend is for serum-free media and generally you want to use human cells when studying human viruses.

Nice trend. Now can they also truly isolate (that is without other DNA/RNA carrying particles present) a virus? Like biologists have done with other biological particles of similar size?

Because without true isolation you could always be looking at "dead cell debris" or other stuff that is there and is not the virus, but may look like one.

> After all, human cells may contain dormant viruses or viral genomes, so you want to make sure that your controls are identical such that your intentionally infected cells are the only ones that show viral activity.

Bingo! So as long as you put "culture" cells in the sample and call that an isolate, it is polluting the sample.

> you'd be better served asking what you can do to prove that viruses exist?

Isolate them. Truly isolate them.

> I used to joke that mouse deer didn't actually exist. That they were just jackelopes that the taxidermists made up for the museum of natural history. I bet that I could have made that very convincing with a lot of rhetoric. A visit, however, to a zoo with said ungulates alive and in the flesh would quickly prove me wrong.

Because in the zoo you can see the animal all by itself. Now if you say you can only see deer mouse when they are in a soup with 50 other species of mouse, and you make a crummy black white pictures of the soup claiming some provide proof of your deer mouse: should I take you seriously?
It's always nice when people respond to what you've written, but this comment really brought back a surge of memories for me!

"The involvement of Africans in the slave trade is conspicuous in its absence from the article."

Because it is completely irrelevant to the article.

"Whenever that fact is obscured, we promote the false perception that slavery is the fault of one race in particular."

This is untrue, and it is ridiculous thing to say. You do yourself no credit, trying to drag racial politics into a situation where they do not add explanatory power.
> So, overall, I don't see what the purpose of your comment is unless it's an attempt as European slave trade apologia.

I am not OP but I take issue with this. I feel like this is the whole thing. Why did you feel the need to write “European”. That’s wrong and denigrates entire ethnic groups in a very ignorant way. The poles for example surely you would agree are european but did not participate in the slave trade. But, this is not my main point.

My main point is, the slave trade was a multicultural, multiethnic affair. In different periods of times, different peoples were enslaved by different other peoples.

Just so you don’t mistake my comment, this is not an apologia of slavery. It was a horrible institution worthy of condemnation and I am happy it was ended.

I just find it very annoying when I see this automatic assumption “europeans were slavers”. No, not all of them practiced slave trading, some of them were enslaved as well, the ones that did practice slavery collaborated with non europeans to create the supply chain and there were other non european peoples also actively engaged in the slave trade.

Slavery is not the sin of Europe, it’s the sin of all man kind.

If you're interested in some of the history of the Haitian revolution, one accessible way to learn more is Mike Duncan's Revolutions podcast.

So batteries on EVs generally don't fail dramatically, they slowly lose range over time.

So someone buying a used EV will presumably buy something with enough range for them to get around, and then over time if they notice the range starting to decline to the point that it might be an issue, they'll have some time to save up & trade in their car for a better one. Their current car won't be worthless on the used market and someone who doesn't have as large of range requirements (e.g. a 2nd car for commuting) will still buy it.

There are other issues that can prevent an EV from charging at all, but they have usually cheaper fixes than a whole battery pack replacement like you're talking about.

By this chain of logic, no article is complete unless it mentions all of the other related topics that it could have mentioned, if it didn't mind being infinitely long. When writing a book about the Holocaust, one could also mention genocide in the USSR, or in Turkey, against the Armenians, or the Italian brutality in Ethiopia, or the mistreatment of Africans under British rule, or the widespread massacres that occurred in the Philippines when it was initially conquered by the USA. One could go on and on, mentioning more and more genocides.

Or one could simply stick to the subject that one is writing about.

A good reference is Douglas Hubbard's How to Measure Anything. The idea is that most people can calibrate their sense of probability to be fairly accurate, by intentionally adjusting for some common biases. (In particular, if you prevent anchoring and availability bias, and actively engage system 2 and your loss aversion, you get a long way. There are specific techniques to do that in the book.)

This is really easy to practise and test too, since all you need are a bunch of questions where the answer is known, but you are uncertain of it. Then you can guess a range in which you are 90 % certain the true answer lies, and after 10 such questions, you should be correct roughly 9 times.

Points are a way to do this, but I prefer engineers who are calibrated. It's very powerful to ask someone for a calendar day when something will be done (or really just about any other question about anything), and be able to be reasonably confident in the span they respond with.
“Stranger Things” creators admits editing past seasons without viewers noticing
The underlying principle I've been using to understand this is, no engineer worth their salt will be spending a material amount of time working at an organization that they don't believe utilizes their talents well. The opportunity cost of talented software engineers is much too high in general.

This applies regardless of actual talent and does not guarantee results. I've seen mediocre SWEs with inflated egos jump around because they felt their "world class" talents weren't being put to good use, some unsuccessfully, but some rather successfully fooling their way through the ranks of management. But I've also (more frequently) seen disillusioned, extremely talented engineers leave an org that was paying them obscenely well already, but was making them feel like they were wasting their time, for a shot at a startup dice roll which does not pay off as well (on average).
