I don't know much about Kanye, but are reports of people telling him he didn'h have talent to be a rapper genuine, or just something he tells people? Because it sounds like the sort of thing people make up for their own personal narrative. It reminds me of when people say things like "the doctor told me I only had a year to live" - which is something no doctor would actually say because its a massive legal liability, but it fits our personal narrative. Who were these people Kanye had to overcome?

> Some military trucks are designed the opposite way on purpose - because they’d rather have no brakes and be able to move than be stuck on the battlefield.

Do you have any details on that? Or a source I could read? I'm pretty curious now.

I drove trucks in the military - specifically, FMTV, HEMTT, HMMWV, and 5 tons. None of them had the reverse brakes you describe.
Usually there is no deeper reason than the fact that those private companies are staffed at the administrative and policy level by college-educated yuppies living in San Francisco and New York City, and that demographic has become increasingly ideological in the last few years and bought into the idea that progressive toxicity is either a socially good form of tough love/bullying/peer pressure or at least that restricting it disproportionately damages vulnerable groups, etc while what is labeled regressive toxicity is assumed to be heinous, destroying society, and deserving of quick permanent bans.

Companies are not perfectly rational calculators that always know best how to make money. They are made up of people, and people are flawed. People can be deluded into thinking that their bias toward pet issues is profit-neutral or even profit-positive. It happens in the non-politicized corporate sphere all the time - boondoggles is the term.

Relational databases are one of those technologies where enough people can skate by enough of the time with just some very basic skills. And the skill curve in relational databases isn't offset by experience in other domains.

There's a number of technologies like this. They grow an air of mystery and impenetrability. Often unjustifiably so; many people would succeed just fine if they would go in unassuming and expecting to learn. It's why my interns can master things in a summer that some of my full-time people have been half-assing for years.
If we're talking overall influence, it's Dr. Dre and then everyone else can get far back in line.

Kanye likes to claim that his music wasn't about gangster rap and that's why he was sidelined for... a couple years... meanwhile, Dre not only made NWA and Snoop Dogg but managed to convince the entire rap world that a poor white kid with drug problems and abuse issues was the next huge thing by doing things that nobody had ever thought to do before.

This reminds me a bit of the New Math pedagogy, popular in the US during the 1950s-1970s.

Without the proper context, group theory and abstract algebra are deeply uninteresting subjects. It would be like trying to read Bertrand Russell before you learned your ABCs, ridiculous. It's important to start with numbers because they are familiar.
Pretty accurate indeed. Log4j was a huge eyeopener though in regards of just slaping in dependencies in all codebases.

I like this notion.

However, some sort of "fair & balanced" law would have to enforce this.

Edit: and to respond to sibling comment about fact-checking being heckled...

The mechanism here would have to somehow force a similar amount of views. For example, if a lie gets 1MM views, then the proof of the lie should have to gain 1MM views before the original author can gain leverage of the algorithm again.

Of course the new system will eventually be abused, however, it's a step in the right direction. And when that eventually fails to be recognizable, another set of checks and balances must be layered on top.
> quite a few properties (associativity, distributivity, symmetry) are suggested purely by the way we denote sums and multiplication.

I disagree. If “a + b + c” suggests “+” is associative, and “a × b × c” that “×” is associative, what about “a - b - c”, “a / b / c” and “a ^ b ^ c”?

Or are you suggesting Σaᵢ and Πaᵢ suggest associativity? If so, how?

(I also think you mean “commutativity”, not “symmetry” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commutative_property) symmetry typically is about relations (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric_relation)

I use it, but I'm not saying I enjoy it - it's a bit limited - WSL1 feels more like Cygwin, and WSL2 more like a VM, but none is fully integrated into the environment.

I've been in the situation where I needed to config VSCode plugins to use one of the WSL environments and I'm never sure which `git` is being run (if it's the one that runs on Windows, the one in the WSL1, or the one under WSL2. The machine also disagrees with itself about what constitutes an end-of-line marker.

I'd honestly be much happier if the company either gave me a Mac (new office teething problems - third employee in the country - made my original order lost in transit, never to be found again) or allowed me to rip out Windows and install a saner OS on the hardware, which, apart from the UK keyboard, is not terrible.

Yeah, any design is going to be various trade-offs, and you have to understand them (and how they may relate to your mission) when determining what to do and what would be a bad decision.

For example, cars have "fail open" brakes but have independent cylinders so that it is relatively hard to have all four wheels fail at the same time (older cars had single master cylinders) - and one of the tradeoffs is that people want cars to get going immediately and not wait for brake cylinders to "charge up".

As more and more things get computerized, you have more options for "intelligent failover" - anyone who used to drive an old manual car knew you could slow down using the engine - but now the computer could detect brake failure and do things for you to help recover.

And as seen from other comments, the modern US military prioritizes "on-road safety" over "under ongoing attack ability" - partially because of changing strategies I suspect, but also from the realization that the US military kills more members of the US military each year via accidents, etc, than anything else.
Ah sorry, I just meant about nitpicking the "working while traveling thing" -- but I was just guessing. Seems like they might care more than I expected.

Been drinking raw milk for years. Also noticed that some lactose intolerant people are able to consume raw milk without any issues. People have been drinking raw milk from various mammals for eons. The risk associated with it is when dairy farmers don't use hygienic practices or make mistakes. When mass producing milk at scale, hygienic practices eats up time and money, so pasteurization provides a blanket solution to not having to waste time being too careful or worrying about making a hygienic mistake.

I actually think this is likely not true.

If you were to take an 18 year old who can't read, and another one who can't do addition, which do you think is less employable?

There's a lot of jobs one can do without any math. Almost none one can do without any reading.

There's more to it than all this of course, but I think literacy is the clear winner compared to numeracy.

>Art is only a human endeavor if it's done for intrinsic value or to share an idea or an emotion. Once the main -- or indeed only -- reason for creating something becomes "how many dollar bills will people put in my bank account if I let them see this?", it ceases to be art, in my opinion, and becomes conditioned capitalistic greed.

Truly, go live in the real world of being an artist who's struggling to get by at even a basic level and doesn't have all the soft cushions in life that provoke absurdly rigid and privileged sentiments like the ones you wrote here.

Creativity and the desire to express it don't put a person outside the essential pressures of economic need and its emotional roller coasters. On the other hand, when those needs aren't really satisfied, it can quickly become damn hard to be creative even if you're sincerely emotionally passionate about your creative expression. It's nice to spout crap about how people shouldn't create art just for "capitalistic greed", but for someone straining just to pay monthly rent and basic expenses, there's nothing greedy about having their creative motivation lubricated along with some decent sales or financial sponsorship. What nonsense to assume otherwise.

The deuce/half air-over-hydraulic brakes fail open (loss of air pressure leaves you with hydraulic brakes alone, loss of hydraulic leaves you with no brakes at all). However, there is a failure mode that leaves the brakes full on if the air cylinder jams.

At the time it was an acceptable trade-off; later military vehicles have more in common with trucks than tanks, I suspect.
That they include "rules" and "procedures" indicates those definitions are based around the "what" rather than the "why". A rule of thumb is something passed down, while a principle is something you come to from experience. A rule of thumb likely started as a principle from someone else.

Rules and procedures are a further watering down of the original idea, where even the rule-of-thumb's justification isn't paid attention to or even has been lost over time.

It does the same in one of the two that I mentioned (Angular I believe), but you still need to mark plurals and other stuff like that.

Here is an example about a basic case that you will encounter multiple times per page:

<span i18n="Pretty update timestamp|Update timestamp prettyfied accompanied by user gender@@prettyUpdateTimestamp">Updated: {minutes, plural,
=0 {just now}
=1 {one minute ago}
other {{{minutes}} minutes ago by {gender, select, male {male} female {female} other {other}}}}
</span>
You must have never had to transfer WhatsApp on a new carrier and find out that the carrier MITMs your SMS and you cannot activate that way and you have to ask your carrier for that. Not common in the US or western EU I suppose, but there are lots of countries that aren't in those areas and they have carriers too...
Isn't the lesson NO SIGNAL != 0

More universally, 0 isn't null.
Less than 20 irreversible transactions per second. Regular financial infrastructure requires maybe a few weeks or months or years for a reasonably irreversible transaction.

> "Solving problems is the only way to understand mathematics. There's no way around it."

I'll read the linked documents at some point, but taking it per se, it should be noted that doing problems as a method of understanding may be necessary, but is not sufficient. I had a professor who taught how to solve problems and then assigned way way too many problems. I could manipulate the symbols, but I didn't grok what I was doing until I picked up a different text and started learning on my own. How many problems are needed definitely varies from person to person, and I'm not entirely convinced there aren't other ways to understand mathematics; but I suspect problems are the fastest and easiest.

The philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche had a famous critique of Christianity and modern Western morality that operated along similar lines, spelled out most famously in the book "On the Genealogy of Morals". He contrasts Classical virtue-based morality with the contemporary notion of the inherent virtue of suffering.

> People who suffered from oppression... and who were denied any effective recourse by relative powerlessness—developed a persistent, corrosive emotional pattern of resentful hatred against their enemies, which Nietzsche calls ressentiment. [1]

In his view modern society was poisoned by "ressentiment", leaving people unable to find authentic happiness as a result.

How good it is depends on the actor/threat model. I'd say that server-side encryption is always a good thing when you include someone trying to steal disks from a SAN array to see if there's tasty data on it.

On the other hand, if your adversary wants to get your stuff, they will find a way. The whole cryptography thing is just imposing cost on a potential attacker, not a universal warranty against any possible attack. Someone can still locate you and beat you with XKCD's $5 wrench for your password.

Ideally we'd have end-to-end encryption on everything without adding complexity for end-users. But a lot of that stuff seems to be hard to build and at least just as hard to retroactively bolt on to a system. iMessage (iChat) goes back a long time and supports many platforms (yes, within the apple ecosystem, that is) which means they can't easily nuke every legacy API at once.
