> Bismarck tried to freeze Europe in that situation

No he didn't, he was quite flexible in his approach as for what was needed at any point in time.

> it failed and left Germany in a bad diplomatic situation when WW1 started.

Not really. Germany was in a fantastic situation when he left. And even by WW1 Germany wasn't in a bad situation. Relationship with Britain had been improving for years. Relationship with the Ottoman had also been improving. British French relationship wasn't that close. And British Russian relation were a disaster.

The reality is Bismark did brilliantly and the people that came after him were idiots.

- Building a huge North Atlantic Navy, rather then a smaller Baltic Navy.

- Instead of Balancing Russia and Austria going all in on Austria

- Creating international crisis over irrelevant issues to bring France/Britain, Russia/Britain closer together.

And then to start the War did the dumbest possible things and instantly made sure Britain was on the other side.

That's because the whole idea of a redaction system is stupid.

You can't start out with something unconstrained and expect to patch all the holes in it. Mathematically speaking, you start with set A which is all possibilities and set B which is all the things you know to remove and you end up with A \ B not {}.

You have to start out with something constrained and allow only the good bits through the holes.

Having a similar discussion at the moment. Which is the correct solution:

a) Buy some software to redact all PII from logs

b) don't put it in there in the first place
Pensions are a tricky subject. In cases where a pension job paid less than prevailing wages, that pension is in reality deferred payment for time already worked. So taking away the pension is wage theft. It would be similar to if an organization decided to take back a large portion of your 401K because they retroactively deleted the company matching benefit.

In reality, that deferred pay should have been properly invested / managed from the beginning, but that would mean higher taxes or lower spending on other programs at the time the wages were earned.
They don't work for a more specific reason than that; a central planning system that was "bottom up" (asking everyone what they want rather than dictating it) couldn't work either, because people aren't capable of expressing their preferences in a way you can calculate.

How much iron does a steel mill need this year? Well, that depends on how many customers they'll get, which depends on what price they sell steel at.

They didn't say "falsifiable", they said "falsified" -- their word usage was correct: something the is Xifiable can be Xified. "falsified" does indeed mean "proven wrong" -- check your dictionary. (However, they are not correct that the theory of common descent has been falsified. And I have no idea what "Jesus is King" even means, nor is it relevant.)

I've heard that tetrapak are like the worst type of material to recycle.

IIRC they're a combo of paper, aluminum foil, and a plastic inner coating. Individually, the paper and aluminum are relatively easily recyclable, but I recall seeing somewhere that because it's all bound into a single material, the labor/energy cost to separate the layers of tetrapak for recycling end up not worth it and it just ends up in landfills...

Burning gas or coal 24 hours a day because "the sun only shines for 8 hours" is the kind of gigabrain solution that the "what about when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesnt blow" crowd like the most.

What exactly you think are hazards in 3D printing? And low-voltage electronics? I am honestly curious to know... because I don't treat any of that as hazardous at all.

Woodworking can be hazardous when using power tools... but you can always go with hand tools only and that should be mostly risk free excluding possibility of minor cuts and bruises - but you can get these even when preparing food.

I do a lot of stuff around the house myself (renovation, making/adapting stuff, preparing my own wood for house heating, small electrical repairs, etc) and the only thing I am afraid of is the chainsaw. That thing can do significant damage even slightest mistake when being used, anything else is manageable given the usual precautions (protective gear, doublecheck that electric switches, wires, etc are not hot when working on them, etc...).
Here's a video showing pretty much every Tamagotchi released from the 90s up until today:

https://youtube.com/watch?v=jQHU9m90VLU

Turns out Bandai made quite a few weird models over the years, from giant-sized "home" Tamagotchis to watches. Most of the recently released ones seem to just be variants of the Tamagotchi Nano based on licensed IPs, which are probably not as interesting as the models released throughout the 90s or 2000s, but it's still fun to see how many of these things are being pumped out to this day.

It's true for the code. But not always for the system that the code becomes, or for the consequences caused by outputs of the system.
Examples: Not all database migrations in production are easily undoable without impacting service. Or if the output is used to make say financial decisions, money lost on that might not be recoverable.
So at least a conscious relationship to these potentials is very advantageous when making changes. And also when designing a system, try to minimize the amount of actions that are not undoable without negative side effects. An also to build systems where one can roll forward to effectively undo a change (even if one does not / cannot technically go back).

This view on wave-particle duality and the quantum measurement is a (very) leaky abstraction. It is a process, governed by decoherence - for a nice overview, see e.g. "Decoherence, einselection, and the quantum origins of the classical" by Zurek (https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0105127).
How would that exactly work?
It is a nice example, which would be rarely used in the real systems.
Could be used for understanding how hot-code reloading could be implemented.
Real usage could be if we have some big state and wanna apply some operations on it, we could send "{execute, F}" into the server and pass code (i.e. a simple reference) instead of data.

The document's initial example of diagonalization doesn't explain it properly. It shows how you can find a binary string that's not in the list; fine. But it's conveniently a list of 5 strings of length 5. It doesn't show how you'd find a new string of length 5 that's not in a list of 6 such strings, or 31 such strings.

I suspect the "conveniently" may drop out of some conversion of a real problem to an abstraction, but that's not explained.

Anything that involves raytracing would need to change from having a finite camera position in world space, to having an infinite one with parallel rays. There are some ways to make the math work out the same, but in general... nope.

Like, consider that you never actually need to scale anything in a perspective view, because you literally can't tell the difference (all the rays remain the same). In an orthographic view, scaling is the only way to actually zoom in/out. Oops, any code that assumed your view is unit-scale will break.

Perspective vs orthographic literally affects every single one of those fancy features you like.

The universe indeed is not intelligent. Nor do these creatures know what they are doing. Nor did evolution know what it was doing when it created them -- evolution is not an agent or even an entity, its a description of a natural process of highly constrained brute force trial and error.

Tool-vs-tool danger comparisons are all apples-to-oranges comparisons.

How does a handheld danger that can move around or be dropped compare to a heavy, stationary danger that's in a predictable location?

How does one big danger rank against several smaller dangers? What about a clearly obvious danger vs a less obvious one?

Which safety procedures can you assume to be followed? Welders wear a mask and gloves at all times, but not everyone using a table saw uses a pushing stick.

How much experience and skill should you expect the users have? Users who are expecting a tool to buck or bind will be ready for it - does it matter that inexperienced users might not be ready?

If two tools are equally dangerous in a spacious workshop, but one can also be used up ladders and upside-down in crawlspaces, is it more dangerous because of that?

Do you just rank classic tools like hammers and drills, or do you have a broader definition? Is a ladder a tool, for purposes of the ranking? Is a car?

> (Although I am suprised that there's not more attention being paid to the extra spatial relationships that can be inferred from merely knowing something is a video. Surely it could be used as an extra constraint when inferring camera poses - you know the camera can only move in certain ways from one frame to the next?)

Can I ask why you say this? Camera motion models including Kalman filters of various kinds and constraints on derivatives etc, are absolutely used in SLAM and photogrammetry afaik, and have been for a long time.
The idea is to heat metal until it can be shaped more easily, traditionally by hand tools. That does not require a fire. In Roman mythology, the blacksmith Hephaestus used a volcano as his forge.

Traditionally it required a fire, yes, but that doesn't make it essential. I use silverware which is not made of silverware.

As a point of definition, in general use, a forge is not an "open fire". Eg, https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/open+fire defines "open fire" as "A fire not contained by a fireplace or stove" and https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/open-... defines it as "a fire that you light outside, for example to cook on, or a fire in a space in a wall of a building, with a chimney to take the smoke away".

As I understand it, blacksmithing is typically not done outside, where it can be too bright to use the color of the metal to judge the temperature, and the fire in the forge requires some sort of forced air (eg, a foot-powered bellows forcing air through a tuyere into a constrained fire). This means the forge is not an open fire.

TIL blacksmithing has its own definition for "open fire", which is distinct from "stock fire". See http://www.faadooengineers.com/online-study/post/first-year/... . This means a blacksmith wouldn't say they only use an open fire.
I was doing a 4-month internship a few years ago and was looking to remotely rent an apartment, which is the ideal opportunity to be scammed. As I was searching info about a possible unit, I found a YouTube video of someone showing the building's elevator. The video even had a dedication in the description. I was also surprised about this, so I entered this guy's ytb channel and it was filled with videos of other buildings' elevators in that and neighboring cities.

That's how I discovered this community. It's always amusing to find out new niches some group of people care about, you can find the most amazing (and unexpected) things.

> The pattern is that people can have whatever commits they want on their own branch, but when that branch gets merged into the trunk, all those commits are automatically squashed into a single one. I don't see how that is "forc[ing] the human to make that decision earlier and more manually".

Right, so that means people have to decide whether something's going to be a separate commit immediately when they're working on it, and start a new branch if so. Or they could mess around splitting their branch into smaller branches at the end when they're ready to PR, but that's fiddlier than rebasing to split/merge commits.
