I think you're mistaking an arbitrary or relative concept with a lie. Culture is relative and amorphous, but it's not a lie. It shapes our worldview and it's a framework we can apply to our understanding. Just because it is not the unified worldview as everyone has doesn't make it false.
To me, this is one of the most interesting differentiations between western philosophy and eastern philosophy.

Western philosophy tries to get around the language problems by writing thick volumes with excruciating detail and pedantry to help their idea get across as accurately as possible.

Eastern philosophy tries to get around the language problems with allusion and metaphor, leaning on the reader/listeners own experiences as foundation and trying to help them extrapolate from those experiences.

It's a fascinating contrast to me. I can't say with any certainty which delivers better, but I lean towards the eastern approach.

AFAIK all standard tools on typical Linux distributions send help to stdout when it’s been asked for, and to stderr when it’s a response to a malformed command. Third parties can make their software do whatever they want, but that’s hardly “Linux”’s fault.
Config languages and build systems are both in a domain of maximum annoyance and minimum intellectual satisfaction.

Within the realm of software.. casual murder is wrong and all but it would be config languages driving a build system that drove me to it if anything could.
Only works if the natural soil is remarkably solid or the traffic negligible. Unpaved roads with more than very modest traffic generally need routine grading (repairing corrugations by scraping it over with a levelling blade) and re-graveling
> Finally, I think most dashboards miss one fundamental point. Imagine you're the CEO/COO and you've got this beautiful 3 or 4-chart dashboard in front of you. What should you know about what you're seeing? What's the succinct summary?

Having been on both sides of this, I think the challenge is that the CEO/COO's job is to figure out "what should we do about this?," which is the right approach to coming up with that summary (it's not just "here's a text version of the chart"). And the corollary challenge is that, in most cases, non-technical people with domain knowledge are the ones who need to produce the analysis: so any feature incomplete dashboard is going to stymie them and any general framework that requires a technical person to step in for code or configuration is going to slow the process to a crawl.

It's the rule (not the exception) that (especially if things are going poorly) the next step is asking more questions, which involves investigating something else in more detail. A dashboard, however pretty, is as useless as a doorknob if it doesn't have the needed information.

I have found that dashboards per say are always great as the high-level KPI trackers, like the things you would consider hanging on a wall in an office (e.g. "revenue growth this month" or "new customers acquired"). You'll always want to know that information, and many people of unrelated departments need to have that information shared to them.

The other helpful area is a deep-dive domain-specific analytics programs, like for example Google Analytics, where it has a very full featureset for non-technical marketing people to go in and drill down to answer questions. The UI/UX designers of that product have spent years honing and A/B testing which types of graphs to show where, and mapping out how to have people click around to find what they're looking for, to the point it is pretty easy for non-technical people. They even have courses and certifications on how to use the system.

Organizations that try to internally build a feature-complete system like google analytics for a specific domain need to consider it like building an entire software product (even if there's a general low/no-code BI SaaS to assist) because you'll need collaboration between general technical experts and non-technical stakeholders with changing and vague requirements. It can be done, but likely only with years of investment and UI/UX research, just like any other software product that solves a domain problem well. In practice: millions of dollars.

Technologists often forget that Excel *is* a turing complete programming language (and it's a functional programming paradigm too!). If an org is not committed to spend years and millions of dollars on deep dive analytics for a specific domain, the right choice is almost always using a commercial analytics system for that domain that costs less than the internal build, or embracing the trusty spreadsheet.
Sure but why include that if a text processor is too much for the board? To display static images or demoscene visualisations?
We basically need Restricted YAML.

No 1000 ways to say true/false. No 1000 ways to have strings.

No significant whitespace in config files (also helps out with the 1000 types of YAML strings).

Etc.

A subset of YAML that drops all that garbage.

And yeah, the CI/CD stuff should also use... a sandboxed programming language.

I think Lua and Tcl can remove functions and language constructs in a sandboxed enviroment. Pick one of those, or improve it slightly (make Lua 0-index based if you so care), and then use that.

- "...This mixture spontaneously ignites under the decomposition conditions, but it does not thermally decompose the underlying liquid. Meanwhile, at the anode, the perchlorate gets oxidized to chlorate and chlorite ions, but none of that shows up in the gas phase."

What you actually said was:
> Clip your prescription to a pair of sunglasses instead, or to your smart glasses.

You might have to clip them to the backside to get it all to work out.

And what does "Move the bows from the glasses to the sunglasses" even mean? Bows?

You can't take a glasses frame that is designed to be worn at a normal distance from the eye and then clip something to the back side of it, between the original lens and your eye. There's not enough space to add a corrective lens back there.

Even if there were, it's still unfeasible, because the part you have to take off is the smart part or the tinted part not the prescription part.

Never mind that it's only a rounding error of people who are willing to carry around a clip-on layer either, because it requires nearly as much protection as a full pair of glasses to avoid breaking it.

Making the prescription part the clipping part is inane on every level. Nothing about it works.
Perhaps cynical, but in big corp tech, this is exactly how building dashboards can feel sometimes.

Drugs or power naps. Two quotes stood out for me. Years of experience teaching them how to deal with it.

“50 years ago … physicians had rates of narcotic addiction 30 to 100 times higher than the general population, and about 100 doctors a year in the US died by suicide.”

“They are taught, throughout a decade of grueling training, to dissociate themselves from their body’s natural cues, telling them that it is time to rest, eat or urinate.”

I’ve done a lot of long hours before in engineering work. I found that at 13 hours I am significantly impaired.

I’ve done 16-24hr days and caffeine stops working the same way around 16 hours. Ephedrine can get you some more time or the adrenaline of a stressful situation.

80-100 hour work weeks for years is crazy for residents. Work is their life. They may not even go home in between shifts. They can do some key drop power naps or navy seal power naps. My cousins are in the field and Maslow’s pyramid is a constant conversation topic.

I’m sure there are some military manuals or doctor support forums you could research further.

“This is going to hurt” is a good window into the field. Book/tv series.
Chatgpt is also really really good in code review for things like docker files etc
This is wildly more efficient than talking with a human where I have the overhead of social dynamics and navigating their communication quirks.

I can see that this was beneficial for you, which is nice.

I can also see this being a huge, huge problem for team dynamics. Didn't like talking to people before? Well now you never have to again! You can go off on your own and generate entire new architectures, codebases, whatever...and and then discuss with the team,,,if the team dynamics sucked before...playing nice with others is what life is about, I even think "AI" may have to learn this lesson too.
Sometimes language is used, to point to that which is beyond language.
* Copilot is great

* Great for sanity checking your plans or designs (ex: "What are the best ways of securing a multi-tenant application?")

* Simple questions/reminders (ex: "How can I make it so a bash script exits on error?")

I've been fairly impressed by a couple of Beelinks Mini S12 I purchased a couple of weeks back. Intel N95 CPU, 16 GB RAM, 500GB NVMe. More than enough for checking email.

What Chomsky is arguing is that, yes, in an important objective sense there is such a thing as “faciness” that our brains recognize. In the same way, I hope we’d all agree there’s objectively a color red—even accepting that it’s the structure of our optical and neural systems that are the basis for this fact.

hows your mobile phone reception inside the house? what about good old UHF tv reception with an indoor antenna? i think a wifi mesh is overkill for a 130sqm area...im a bit imaginative here: put your router outside (lets say in the garden) and try checking from a distance with no walls inbetween)
I'm not sure about the initial mistake either. But then again, this was a lesson in one of my structural classes, so you don't forget about that sort of issue.

Basically, I'm surprised that no one did the basic worst case sigma=MY/I for the side and quartering loads. The old grizzled supervising engineer generally will run through a bunch of ballpark estimates to see if the designer has actually checked all the worst case combinations.

I don't really buy the article's factor of safety discussion -- the factor of safety is for uncertainty, not blunders. I _might_ save you from a blunder, but that's not what it's for. It's for variation in material dimension, quality, and loading variation.

As for the bolts vs welding, There's definitely scope for changes at the shop drawing stage. When an engineering firm designs a building, they'll generally design a set of typical connections, but when the shop goes to build them, they have to take this column:floor beam connection and actually turn it into "cut this cope, drill here, ..." and they'll generally do the simplest, cheapest thing they can.

The engineers have to review the shop drawings, and if they don't have a good set of calcs for what the loads are in that particular bit, then they aren't going to necessarily see that this substitution of bolts won't work. (Note -- bolts can be just as good, and potentially better than welds, depending on what you're doing, how you're erecting, and the space you have available. Full Penetration welds are a pain, but they're the easiest way to specify a full strength join. But doing them on site, in the air, when you're putting the thing together is not something that you'd generally want to spec.)

There have been a significant number of historical disasters connected to shop drawing changes that the engineers didn't pick up. (e.g., the Hyatt Regency walkway collapse).

Also remember, this was done in the 70's, so they wouldn't have had Finite element models of the building where it's super easy to just run a couple more loads. Everything there would have been indeterminate elastic analysis, so it's not quick to run an accurate calculation if you're trying to find beam sizes.

Chomsky is one of the most internationally-known intellectuals. Most people in my country (Argentina) know him for that, rather than his work in linguistics.

Just thinking out loud. Battery damage at a guess. Video streaming can be pretty power hungry (you’re running the camera, encoding the video, and flinging those bits over the air) on a device that sits on your face.

Depending on the construction of the device you can rely on the heat from doing that work to warm the battery up so not so bad (think your smart phone, which also spends most of its time in your pocket while outdoors so doesn’t get “that cold” to begin with), these glasses could have their battery further away from the electronics (thinking out loud prob battery in one arm, electronics in the other) and are probably more prone to be uninsulated form the elements while out and about.

I think the point is that there's no reason as of yet to think this same thing happens in humans. Rats and humans are very very different. Humans may have developed a stress response or any other myriad of things that cause the results to be dissimilar.

- Is there a less expensive way to get this information?

- The data will move 1 of three directions; up, down or stay the same. Ahead of time, what will you do in each case? Asking me to change the direction of the line is not an acceptable answer. Do we still need to make the chart? Or were all three answers the same?

The best cure to bad WiFi is Ethernet.

There are only 3 usable channels in the 2.4 GHz band and that is nowhere near enough. Much of the 5 GHz band is unavailable with cheap access points because it competes with weather radar.

Any traffic you get onto Ethernet is not going over WiFi and it is freeing up capacity for devices that do use WiFi.

Mesh WiFi is a scam and it is just common sense that it is. If you have multiple network hops you use more frequencies, not less, you get more latency, not less, you get more packet loss, not less. How could it be any other way? It doesn’t help that the meshing happens over 5 GHz which goes through walls much less than 2.4 GHz.. People want to believe in mesh WiFi but check any forum and you will find people who are struggling with mesh WiFi but stubbornly insist on using it. Don’t be that guy.

In my old farmhouse where the walls are full of little nails I use this stuff

https://ui.com/wi-fi

I have four access points connected with Ethernet. At times I’ve had one in the wood shed with a power line Ethernet adapter connected to it which is fine for a point-to-point link but not if you have more than two devices plugged in. I watched them redo the wall between the a kitchen and that shed and it is a radio dead zone because there is a metal foil vapor barrier in it.

If you were designing a building for optimal WiFi and didn’t mind the cost you would have radio opaque walls to cut interference and maximize privacy and an access point in each room.
I have a bachelors in Linguistics. We were taught what Chomsky believes, but our professor also made it clear that many linguists, including himself, didn’t believe it was right or true. Though, this was 30 years ago. I haven’t kept up with the field to know what professors of linguistics think today.
I’ve been experimenting with pairing a tool I wrote called Promptr [1] with another tool called Open Interpreter [2].

I start with a prompt that teaches Open Interpreter how to use Promptr, and then I discuss what I’m trying to accomplish.

> But whenever I hear him speak outside his niche his points are stupid (like this one) or harmful (like his Ukrainian takes).

Chomsky was always like this. He is an unapologetic hypocrite, constantly criticizing the U.S and "the west" while defending "socialist" country for the exact thing, and often even worse, than he was criticizing the U.S for. Even going as far as denying the existence of genocide during the Yugoslavia civil-war.

Manufacturing Consent was a very good book, but for me it won't change the fact that Chomsky is a genocide-denier tankie.
