>First off, something can be bad for simply hurting all men. You don't have to resort to a racial analysis.

But that's the thing-- I'm not "resorting" to that argument. I'm a PoC and I really think that really matters. But people handwave that away every time. Because it's not interesting to the majority of people, because the majority of people don't really care about these things.
Agreed, and 22 years ago none of that was true. Rails, Docker, AWS, Redis, and Kafka didn't exist, and JS was unstable and mostly used for image rollovers. Those are ideas that have been built from scratch and made relevant to modern computing since the paper was written.

>But that's the thing: nuclear weapons cannot be allowed to provide a strategic advantage in a conventional war of conquest

I don't know what this means other than we will fight a nuclear war to prevent other states from using the threat of nuclear weapons to secure their interests. But this is just unintelligible to me.

> If they have no retaliation to fear, they have no reason to hold back anymore.

We can demonstrate, and have, a massive increased cost to such incursions. But some nations may choose to pay that cost some of the time if they calculate the benefit is sufficient. The only way to prevent this is nuclear war. It is absolutely not worth it to maintain the stability of the current border configuration.

There is slight possibility I'm interpreting like I'm 5, so don't take this as gospel and please anyone else issue corrections, also it's a gross oversimplification but here goes:

First a brief outline of the actual experiment. Rather than directly measure all of the processes that occur within a plant to effect photosynthesis (from photons hitting a leaf and water being drawn from the ground to the creation of some sort of molecule used for transporting energy in plant cells e.g. ATP) the researchers cited in the article created a mathematical model of part of the process that directly concerns chlorophyll: absorbing photons and transferring the energy to the next stage. They don't specify what the next stage would be, they simply modelled a network of nodes from input (representing the initial photon hitting), via nodes representing different stages of chlorophyll, to a generic output.

The models assumed two things indicated by prior research:
1) there is an upper threshold of energy production beyond which deleterious back reactions occur i.e. chlorophyll make too much power do nasty thing to plant
2) there is a lower threshold of energy production beyond which eventual power output is inefficient (nonlinear decrease in output) because the rate of energy transfer out of the network [from the chlorophyll stages to the next part of photosynthesis] is fixed by electrochemical processes i.e. chlorophyll make too little power makes actual photosynthesis even worse

Given those assumptions an ideal chlorophyll stage would operate between the thresholds. In a static environment, that is one in which the rate and state of photons entering remains constant, this could be easily achieved. In a noisy environment, when the light source fluctuates as a result of shadows etc., then a system that relies on one absorption rate will see a direct corresponding fluctuation in power output - fewer/more photons in means less/more energy out and importantly the rates of power in to power out would be directly linked. This noisy environment could cause a drop below / rise above the 2 thresholds above and therefore bad/inefficient operation. Given this noisy environment is inevitable an ideal chlorophyll stage would smooth out the fluctuations in input energy so the output doesn't spike in direct relation to input spikes. Think here of adding capacitors to smooth current fluctuations. This smoothing can be achieved by having two (or more - this is limited by biological/chemical realities here) different concurrent input sources that flow energy through the system at different rates given they both produce the same output. Krackers has more clearly explained this bit than I did initially - although I must add the differing energy production rates is my interpretation of what's implied by the authors because they don't explicitly explain.

I have ignored here the internal noise of the system which the paper attributes to protein dynamics driving fluctuations of intermediate excitation energy transfer events for simplification and because it doesn't effect the main thrust.
Obviously this isn't the same thing, but yes - this seems right. But, I remember my first time going to Google's campus in 2010 and connecting to their guest wifi network. 1Gbps! Insanely cool! Pulled up gmail and google docs and it worked PERFECTLY! My first thought was "...oh this is why their webapps suck - they have no idea how it's being used in the real world where latency is above 10ms"

1 out of 100 persons randomly chosen in Canada has immigrated less than one year ago if the statistic is true: 430k new immigrants per year for a country with a population of 38 million. Wow.

And considering that migrants tend to cluster together these immigration hotspots like Toronto will see multiple % growth annually in new arrivals! That is seriously fast population growth! Replacement?
Yes and to the author's point and mine, they are just software built on top of existing systems. Theses technologies solve certain problems very well, but they all run on linux under the hood using the same base OS primitives.

If you wanted to use an innovative system to redo the web from the ground up, good luck, as you'd have to reinvent this entire ecosystem to get to a reasonable equivalence

Maybe if the US wasn't so concerned with competing them and stymieing them? Monroe doctrine? They could have built something better rather than feeling constantly under threat? Lesson for US in how to be alongside China: don't try to arrange world so that only choice is: 1) don't compete with us meaningfully economically, or 2) become a military threat target

Tough love and hard to hear I bet but I think US needs to learn how to share and how to make it work for themselves to play second fiddle economically without getting violent or bitchy. Diva attitude hurts the classroom.

Also: different system doesn't mean evil. World should have multiple different systems and nurture the economic development of all.

Canada has an immigration rate 10x the rate of the US but any discussion of lowering this is considered racist. I have a top 5% income but I will never own a house in my life and can’t access a family doctor. We have way too many people! The population is expected to be 50% foreign born or children of immigrants by 2040 and it’s already majority foreign born in our biggest cities.

I honestly don’t expect this country to stay together for more than a few more decades. What is a Canadian? The “melting pot” theory of integration is also considered racist here because Canada is a “mosaic” where everyone has the right to keep their old culture and live in an ethnic enclave with no expectation of assimilation.
UX =\ UI
Immigration is not necessarily a concern. But Canada afaik does not have multicultural immigration, we have a very narrow set of countries utterly dominating our immigrants. Personally I don't think that is a good thing, diversity is important, and we need to be better at balancing the mix of people that come here to avoid monoculture

It's true however, RPC in it's simplicity loses a lot of the niceties of HTTP and REST. You have no conventions to go off of for state control, no standard for error handling, etc.

Maybe you want something more barebones, maybe you want to leverage existing protocols. These days, it's kinda the wild west out there in terms of web standards it seems, so go nuts I guess.

Oof. Block out time on your calendar if you need not be disturbed at certain times of the day. Expecting everyone else you work with to understand your idiosyncratic system is not a reasonable thing to do.
But why are you defending it with novel solutions and colour grading schemes for something which could simply not be named the same thing because it isn't the same thing?
That is even more hilariously hand-wavey, given you just got smoked for that.

Fail-safe systems are notoriously hard to design - what is the truth when one system is wrong? How do you detect that a system is giving the wrong answer (737MAX hardware sensor failure, software working exactly as very carefully designed)? Adding complexity decreases reliability unless some very deep voodoo engineering is applied.

I think you are thinking linearly, that two systems with a 1% failure rate could be put together to make a system with 0.01% failure rate. Bzzzzzzt, wrong, instead you could easily end up with a system with a 5% failure rate.

There are many sources of confounding variables: two systems tend to fail in the same complex corner cases, safety systems tend to have common dependencies (Fukushima tidal wave), and adding complexity to systems adds subtle failure modes.

Disclaimer: I would call myself a software engineer, because my definition of engineering is making good compromises. Other “engineering” disciplines very often work on non-safety critical systems, yet they are still called engineers. And these days software underpins most safety critical systems e.g. you depend somewhat that your CAD software or circuit analysis software returns the correct result, even though software usually disclaims all warranties/guarantees. The designers of the space-shuttle made safety compromises, but that was engineering. SpaceX followed a fail-fast approach, and I think software engineers have been innovating and optimising that methodology for many years (not saying it was invented by software engineers). Engineering for safety is an orthogonal skill to engineering discipline. Edit: wrench on your own vehicle safety systems, and you can’t help but notice multiple potential safety faults, often related to usability fails. Mechanical engineers design with unforeseen safety failure modes. Engineering is a spectrum. Making appropriate good compromises is engineering. Ingroup “engineers” versus outgroup “engineers” is miscategorisation and politics: especially considering the root of the word and that we use the word certified when we want a “real” engineer. https://probablydance.com/2022/09/17/finding-the-second-bug-... is an example of deep software engineering guruness, uncovering heisenbugs in complicated poorly written GNU glibc synchronisation primitives.

Ultraviolet B UV‑B 280–315

Ultraviolet C UV‑C 100–280

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet

My read is "UVB" is the popular medicine way of saying UV is needed for the body to synthesize vitamin D. It was not considered necessary to point out part of the useful spectrum is in "UVC" territory.
The slides gloss "systems" in this context as "Operating systems, networking, languages; the things that connect programs together." See https://doc.cat-v.org/bell_labs/utah2000/utah2000.html if you don't see it in the PDF. He's definitely not talking about only operating system kernels.

JS, Ruby, PHP, Rails, Docker, AWS, Redis, and Kafka are solidly in that wheelhouse (though, to be fair, JS, Ruby, and PHP did exist in 02000, Pike just didn't know they were important). Some of them couldn't have been built with the base OS primitives common in 02000: Docker requires cgroups, for example, and AWS requires virtualization or (originally) paravirtualization. Paravirtualization came out of Keir Fraser's doctoral research.

You don't have to write a system that has no connection to the existing ecosystem in order to be doing systems software research, or even relevant systems software research.

Also though the Web has been pretty much redone from the ground up since 02000.

You are reading way too much TSLAQ bullshit.
You have too many people in a country with the average population density less than a person a square mile? This is such strange thinking- your solutions should be build more houses and train/immigrate in more doctors!

This country is doing better than it ever has in history. The immigrants Canada lets in are a gift to the economy. If neighboring US is anything to go by, 90 of the top 500 US unicorns ($ 1 billion+) have an Indian born founder.

Hasn’t that always been the way it has worked? For the longest time Canadian immigration was restricted to the British isles and Western Europe (look up the Chinese immigration restriction acts). Compared to then Canada has pretty much opened the floodgates of immigration from all over the world. I don’t see the monoculture you’re suggesting, and regularly meet people from all over the globe here
Not having access to doctors or being unable to afford housing are due to policy failures in other areas, not purely due to higher immigration. Canada will find it tough to replenish it's workforce without high rates of immigration.

A lot of people will often put the US and Canada up against one another in a head to head battle but forget to realize the population is less than the state of California. For all intents and purposes Canada is a small country and their way of life is very much a small scale experiment, as-is our democratic experiment here in the US. Scalability is tough.
It's be hard to track the number who stay and for how long. Just because they're coming to Canada doesn't mean they stay long term.
Many immigrate, explore, then move on. Others hope that Canada is a softer immigration path into the US. This seems to have some Merritt in the past, though I'm not sure how effective that strategy is now.

> Most of the UI/UX designers that I see at work and other places are basically graphics designers.

What I think is worse is even when they have a formal background in UX the company never wants to utilize it. Every time it's the same junk process. Instead of deriving features from user journeys, empathy maps, and personas the company has the "UX" person generate documents that validate the feature list the customer already wanted, users be dammed. You can also forget about A/B testing or in-person testing the person at the top with a C in their title knows what their users "need" so there is no need to pay for testing.

I’ve never seen this generalist approach work well in industry because you will never go deep enough to do good work in any of these vastly different areas of UX design and research, let alone front end and mobile design standards (UI design).

If the myth is that a single person can do what a UX team does then I agree. But to imply a single designer can't create a good user experience is complete nonsense. We've propped up modern UX to an absurd degree. Yes it provides value. No it's not the only way.
No need for the aggressive tone, but maybe what the comment you’re replying to isn’t saying that the country is overpopulated, but they’re saying that the infrastructure available isn’t capable of sustaining this type of population influx (regardless of where they’re from) and leads to a lower quality of life for the people already in the country.

You and OP can probably agree that infrastructure needs to improve to support more people, but until that happens, there shouldn’t be such availability of immigrant visas.
