In my experience, if your plan is to make a “dashboard”, you’re already on the wrong path. It’s too generic and says nothing about what problems you are there to solve. Think about it yourself: in how many of the products that are important in your life is there any meaningful value produced by a dashboard?

Dashboards seem alluring because we imagine that users will sit there and somehow have insights delivered to them automatically. It’s often less clear what those insights will be or what is needed to produce them, we somehow hope they will materialize by just displaying some data. Often the focus is on making pretty-looking charts (which only ever look good when you demo with picturesque fake data), because you want the product to feel colorful, welcoming and visual.

A better approach is to either make a focused tool for solving a specific problem you know users have - you won’t think of what you end up with as a “dashboard” but it might occasionally end up looking a little like one - or to make general tools that allow users to dig through data interactively to find the things they care about.
I understand that Akamai’s new bot manager does more than just grab telemetry data.

It’s more like a captcha for browsers, i.e. if the user is using a real browser it should behave in a way that pre-scripted bots can’t easy replicate. The payload is auto-injected by Akamai so the expected behaviour can be altered in a non-deterministic way.

It's basically a reinstall where the user's configuration and preferences are preserved. As to why - perhaps a file got corrupted (rare, these days). But often what happens is another program overwrites a shared file to one that is incompatible with your application. Or the user watches a video that tells them about this secret hack that makes your computer run faster...

Story time regarding DLL naming from the old days - Windows 95 would only keep one copy of a DLL in memory (the days when having 8mb of RAM was amazing). We had developed an application that worked perfectly, except on this one salesman's laptop - where it would only work occasionally. What I found was they had installed "Tiger Woods Golf" on their machine and it had a DLL with the exact same name as ours. If the salesman played the game before running our application, Windows said "Oh, I already have that DLL. No need to load it again." and our app would blow up.

You really do not need to be such a grumpy elitist. People are not born with Unix knowledge already in their heads. Asking questions, raising doubts, and getting answers from more knowledgeable users is a very effective way of learning new things!

With that said, can you make an example of a legitimate use of `command1 --help | command2`, where `command2` does something useful and is not `less`?

> believing it's due to cultural factors that are not inherently true.

Moral relativists are moral realists, meaning that they believe that moral truths are dependent, in part, on the culture in which the truths are being evaluated. So I don't think what you're talking about is moral relativism but rather, the fact that different cultures may have slightly different moral beliefs, which is obviously true.

For actual objections to moral relativism, aside from the usual objections to moral realism that undercut all of these: https://iep.utm.edu/moral-re/#H4

I use copilot/chatgpt to autocomplete tricky APIs for me: pandas, matplotlib, flask, etc. Stuff like is this done with method chaining or is it in the weird array-style notation (pandas). Is it a function or a parameter that changes the secondary axis label (matplotlib). I can’t wait until it’s built into Excel for some of the formula nonsense there.

I also occasionally use it to translate languages. E.g. I’ll write something I know how to do in python and ask it to translate to JavaScript where I need something on the frontend.

Stuff like that takes out about half of the time coding that used to be documentation lookups. But then again I only code 20% of my time now, so your experience might be different.
> I as a physical agent may very well be short-lived myself...

You are explaining potential implementation methods, but I think implementation method is a secondary consideration. The more interesting question is what is the simpler and more likely explanation. I think envisoning thought as a sprawling system (through space/time), creating temporary localized identities, through clustering & evolving preferences is simpler than the one with non-mutating preferences. It is non-dualistic, doesn't require multiple layers, etc.

> That substance, though having a changing state, is governed by immutable (as we notice so far) laws of physics

You are mixing layers - substance & laws it seems to be governed by (law is a "meta" substance if you will, or properties derived from a given set of observations). To create immutability out of mutability, you need to build sophisticated layers... That makes it a more complex explanation (and less likely explanation).

Moreover, having a mutable/evolving identity doesn't preclude it from being governed by immutable laws.

Just a matter of applying occam's razor.
That sounds like a 10 year straight-line amortisation rather than an operational expense. Is that the actual operational cost?

The Standard model doesn't include gravity.
Extremely easy. You use a headless browser. This is already used heavily for automated testing.
In larger scale systems (say ham radio or commercial radio or cellular telephone) there is some network planning involved. A ham radio repeater on a mountaintop can “network” with another repeater 70 miles away if there is a good line of sight. Similarly cell phone towers use millimeter wave and other radio backhaul but once more there is a carefully planned line of site. That isn’t what is happening with mesh WiFi.
Probably more than 10 years ago now, I created a personal web app that pulled the "headway" listings for the various stations. The idea was you could be outside the station and know when to go to the station or know if you had to rush down the stairs to catch a train. During hon-peak hours, the interval times could be 15 - 30 minutes, so timing was everything. Back then (and maybe now) Metro would not report a time greater than 20 minutes, but you could check stations up the line to see if a train was coming to your station. The system worked okay unless single tracking was involved, in which the data is not reliable.
Not my comment but I would agree that "If it was that bad, nobody would use it" is a weak argument - there is a lot of bad things around us which we have to use. It should not stop us discussing that they are bad.
>I think the challenge is that the CEO/COO's job is to figure out "what should we do about this?

Totally agree. I'd even go a little further and say the business is in trouble if the CEO doesn't know "what we should do about this". It's the CEOs job to know those things, and it's the data team's job to provide the tools to make those decisions easier, faster and better.
> The latent heat of vaporization decreases, but the amount it decreases by is the same amount of heat you need to put in to raise the water to that temperature.

I Don't think that can be right - for example, at 18 °C, the isobaric specific heat of water is 4.18 kJ/(kg.K), while the rate of change of the latent heat with temperature is only 2.4 kJ/(kg.K), and at 100 °C, the figures are 4.22 kJ/(kg.K) and 2.7 kJ/(kg.K) respectively.

> Both the energy for raising the temperature and for the vaporization is theoretically recoverable (when you condense a vapor back to a liquid it releases the same amount of heat that it took to vaporize it).

Only up to a point: you cannot condense steam at 100 °C in a condenser where the incoming coolant is also at 100 °C. Using only passive methods (heat exchangers) you cannot, even assuming perfect efficiency, recover all of the heat needed in a distillation process for reuse within that distillation process.

While distilling at higher temperatures need not be anywhere near as inefficient as it seems if you don't include the use of heat exchangers, the numbers given above don't seem different enough to justify distilling at a higher temperature than necessary, under realistic assumptions of efficiency, which is not surprising, given that it does not seem to be done.

I’m all for dreaming of and working in on technology that actually improves people’s lives, and I also think we do a lot of that already (besides the obvious examples of all the medical technology that, along with the test of modern medical practice, made death while giving birth a rare tragedy instead of a common one, just think of music recording software, really, just imagine if Hendrix had access to a cd-quality porta studio on his pocket!), but let’s not forget the past was far from perfect, and had its own dystopias, far worse than getting tracked to be shown ads.

Specifically, we’re discussing a text from 1945, by this time the Hollerith tracking system had been used for years to manage concentration camps. The system was used on all aspects of camp management, including who was murdered, and when a prisioner was available for a specific work. That’s as bad of a technological dystopia as I can think of and it hasn’t been modern for about 70 years already…

So tl;dr: in agreement with you about trying to make good things, but let’s not fall for the rose-colored trap when remembering the past.

Not only that, they also used their probably incredible amount of cash to give a lot back. Helping make Linux more viable for gaming, despite the monopoly have given us more options.

> Your first paragraph calls into question universal contract law/rights...?

I was a freelancer/production house owner for over a decade, I am very confused what you mean by this - I have no idea what you are referring to. A contract is only what is mutually agreed upon by all parties involved.

Either way, I have never signed a contract with anyone that entitled them to my work outside of the scope as dictated by the contract. What you get from me is clear in our contract or it isn’t yous. No one is entitled to anything I shoot or edit unless they explicitly paid for it. Likewise, my shooters only ever gave me what was negotiated explicitly. If that is not explicitly stated, there is no assumption they get the rights to anything I shoot or vice versa.

Go call a wedding photographer and ask for all the raws from their shoot after the fact. They’ll laugh until you hang up.

> The concept of an innate, universal language that Chomsky came up with is almost certainly true

It's important to clarify that Chomsky's argument about universal grammar, in that there is an innate universal base human language, is not remotely certainly true. The existence of a human capacity or ability for language is true, but that's not a really amazing finding. People have been talking about that for hundreds of years. There's very little actual evidential basis in neuroscience or brain research for Chomsky's claim. It also frequently falls into private language fallacies, which is a logical blackhole he can't really climb out of.

> You're making an interesting distinction between "JSON" and "languages based on JSON" there, which I don't.

That's basically the root cause of your misconceptions. A document format encoded in JSON is a separate format, which happens to be a subset of JSON. A byte stream can be a valid JSON document but it's broken with regards to the document format you specified. Tools like JSONPath bridge the gap between your custom document format and JSON. This is not a JSON shortcoming or design flaw.

> They're only useful when we know the structure of the data within them.

They are only useful to you because you're complaining that you still need to parse your custom format. This is not a problem with JSON or any other document format. This is only a misconception you have with regards to what you're doing.
