The FBI has a long, documented history of manufacturing its headline terrorism cases from whole cloth. Not just the recent cases like the Bundy bullshit; all the way back before the Black Panthers.

No, the question is whether an active or passive system can be designed (at any cost) which will satisfy each of SOLAS, the flag state and the insurers, and remain operational for more than a few days.

Automatically closing vents must be considered down-flooding points, so when calculation the down-flooding angle, you must consider them to be open (for SOLAS purposes).

The only exception (which is rarely granted) is for ball-type automatic closing air vents, which are not suitable for cabin ventilation as they close with negative pressure.
You need an option to enable only the services they need to develop locally and automatically configure them to talk to the other services hosted elsewhere.

I've seen this discourse all over the internet and IRL. People are simply not honest with themselves. Take for example that the US government essentially cuts a check every year to the tune of billions to soda companies via EBT/food stamp programs. Whenever this comes up, "let poor people enjoy things" is the general consensus. They have such poor quality of life that a little soda here and there is an enjoyment that we cannot take away. Imagine if we allowed people to buy cigs or booze on government assistance. I use to have libertarian views on fast food and junk food but at this point, we should ban it all, esp if we are providing reduced/free healthcare to a population where we fund food/grocery purchases.
> It’s a country of dragons hoarding wealth.

So true and applies to every EU member state. It's why the EU is not the US, and can never be like the US and compete against the US, even if all things were equal like labor laws and such.

Unlike the US, there's no such thing as a unified European culture, European language, European law, European army, etc. Every EU member state wants to be its own dragon hoarding wealth at the top of the union, the expense of the other members in the union, leading to internal squabbles and back stabbings, while the US and China steam ahead gaining more and more of the global GDP.
The 48GX you mean, but yes. The keyboard on the 48 series was chef's kiss. The keyboard on anything after that was complete dogshit.

Engineering (According to Wikipedia)

Engineering is the practice of using natural science, mathematics, and the engineering design process to solve technical problems, increase efficiency and productivity, and improve systems.

In short engineering is the ability to follow processes and measure things. Most developers I have worked with are incapable or unwilling to measure things (on any level), therefore they are incapable or unwilling to be engineers.

If you want better software set minimal, measurable, objective standards. That becomes your foundation, your law. It is as much a soft skill as a technical skill, which is explained just before halfway through the video. Software is very very bad at this and is almost entirely reliant upon compile checks to just magically set some implicit success criteria. Most developers will balk at the idea of a disciplined planned approach and just expect some abstraction to do it for them.

Once you have achieved the process you test for compliance and you measure the result. Testing for compliance isn't a manual QA effort or tiny test units. Its a total process, a certification that you are willing to bet your job and credibility upon. For software such discipline is often foreign. In other jobs like medicine, law, law enforcement, soldiering, and even truck driving getting this horribly wrong will terminate your career forever and can land you in jail or result in devastating civil suits.

Until software is willing to become an adult like those other professions this will remain a distant challenge and its a monumental drain on the resilience of those developers who try their best to achieve that disciplined intent.

Riding Amtrak from PDX to Lax
>Thanks to his years of anti-chinese rhetoric, I think there's a substantial number of people who gave drunk that kool-aid and see China as adversarial.

Trump did the right thing for the wrong reasons. It's not a "substantial number", it's the bi-partisan consensus across both parties.

I find that the people who downplay the threat of China tend to rely on arguments of isolationism and assured implicit continuity of the values of the liberal international order, that they can continue to remain naval gazing at problems at home rather than realizing the world has changed.

As the Chinese themselves argue, it's a "multipolar" world order. Their explicit ideological commitment to Schmittian realism, the rejection of hetegenerous plurality is a direct acknowledgment of fundamentally adversarial nature that governs the relationship between groups. That's what Wang Huning is saying, that's what they're talking about in Zhihu and Weibo. To reject that China is an adversary is to paradoxically deny what the Chinese (and much of the rest of the world) believes in favour of a overly myopic Eurocentric view.

The ironic thing is that the CCP's reaction to American liberalism isn't wholly different from Trump or Thiel's postliberalism, really just different flavors of either Han or Christian neoconservatism.
Then how is eating low-glycemic index food different from eating high-glycemic index food slowly/in a spread out manner?
My arguement is simple... The current sociopolitical system is not sustainable. It was "the experts" who helped get us here. To counter ideas about change in the status quo with "the experts..." is both naive and insanity.

"No... Because the experts..." is weak at best. "No... But what might help correct things..." is all that should be acceptable.

The arc of my point is, ppl completely discount how we got here. No retros. Just repeating the same foolishness, because it's comfortable (?). That comfort isn't helping. It's time to get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

Supply and demand at work.

Lowering costs to build should, in theory, increase supply.

High demand should, in theory, increase supply.

But other things influence the balance, regulations, interest rates, etc, that are either keeping supply low or demand high, inflating prices.
> small groups applying principles of direct democracy

Small groups. That is the problem. It can work but doesn't scale.

As the number of people go up, the need and benefits of more complex coordination go up. People's interactions, dependencies, needs, understandings and problems multiply in quantity, complexity and diversity.

People O(n). Decisions O(n^2).

Direct coordination becomes too costly in time and effort. And people get asked to make decisions in areas where they have no skin in the game, so put little care into their decisions, or seek selfish benefits opportunistically. Things get difficult and ugly.

The default is a descent into anarchy, which gets counter weighted by emergent initiatives that centralize decision making around people who care, have expertise, are good at taking power, etc. Acknowledged or not, "direct", as the universal principle of decision making, no longer works.

Better to see it coming and as directly and openly as possible, prescribe how indirect governance is to be done. As openly and accountably as possible.

Organizations and societies, like computer memory and and processing cores in server centers, need to bifurcate and modularize into different levels, types and policies, to remain efficient and reliable at scale.

Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon was that for me. There was always a worn out cassette of it kicking around somewhere and even that played on a shitty little boom box was good.

I'm not making an argument. I'm highlighting facts. Facts that are being down played.

For example, "the experts". They got us here, and here isn't sustainable. It's insanity to keep pushing "the experts" when they got us here. Where is their accountability? Where are their fixes? Economic decisions don't exist outside the sociopolitical systems they impact. Economic theory isn't reality.

Again. Not my opinion. Just the facts mamam.

It’s a painful reminder of how technology often lacks the sensitivity
> but that doesn’t need to be that way

It kind of does though. If you need to do something with security implications, reinventing the wheel is usually higher risk than using a popular dependency. So it’s not like you can realistically avoid this issue. At least not without causing bigger problems.

It’s also not just a coincidence that Go apps have far fewer dependencies. The comprehensiveness of the std lib (along with officially maintained /x/ packages) means that you need fewer direct dependencies. And just as importantly for the overall size of the tree, all the dependencies that you do need themselves have fewer dependencies. This can easily mean an order of magnitude difference in total transitive dependencies for a significant project.

A problem I find with all of these is how can I render and publish the results somewhere on our corporate infra for everyone to see? And then, how do I ensure that the diagram-as-code in the repository is synced with that published render?

For example, at $work we use Confluence for documentation - I just don't see any of the solutions mentioned in this thread as being compatible with deploying diagrams to confluence, or indeed any type of CMS. It seems that at a minimum you need some bespoke docs rendering pipeline in every repository which spits our rendered docs and diagrams to some other platform?

How does everyone else solve this?

I had to dig up the original post by Roger Alsing[1] as it seems to have inspired a few people. I hadn't thought of evolutionary algorithms being used for image compression before; evolving from pixels to polygons creates a tool artistic expression, but also has utility for data compression (even if it's lossy). I wonder what other data formats could be compressed via evolution!

Mathematical notation, even when considering all its faults, won't be easy to replace.

> vendor is selling over 5 types of produce, there's no way they all ripened at the same time. They may not even all be grown by them.

I’d like to know how authors make this conclusion. For my weak but real experience in the field:

1. Plants don’t fruits everything at once. Some pumpkins fruits spans during months

2. Wise farmers grow several time separated batches, precisely to space the harvests. Especially useful for not-fruits plants like leek and salads

3. Plant several species that don’t grow at the same time. Fresh tomatoes 8 month a year is real

4. Outdoor growing is not a lab and there’s chance a side of you field receive more/less sun, wind, moisture… so won’t grow at the same rate. Some farmers don’t harvest all at the same time but just what’s ripe at the time.

5. Probably even easier in a greenhouse, the most environment you control, the most precise can be the harvest date/range of your controlled batches.
I made some image generation with CLIP and Evolutionary algorithms not so long ago[1] and the results had a bit more life than I was expecting. It is still a contested area of research and you have some cool stuff like CLIPDraw[2] where they use gradient decent to approximate a vector to the embeddings of CLIP.

well, that would only work if i was living in a rural area. i think the disconnect is rather that i have lived in both countries and experienced the different attitudes there. it probably goes like this: rural austria > rural germany > large cities in austria > large cities in germany. but i have only lived in the latter two, so i can't really talk about rural areas either way.

Apart from the fact that not everyone uses Visual Studio, "connected services" appears to be something by which you can connect to existing cloud-based services.

How does that solve the problem of a mess of interconnected services where you may have to change 3 or more of them simultaneously in order to implement a change?
It seems that way to you because you have a bias in favour or "the experts". Yet it's those experts that got us here. Full stop. You insist on going back to the same poisoned well. That's insane.

Just because the experts should be challenged doesn't mean Trump is right. The sociopolitical status quo is unsustainable. Going back to the same well championing the same ideas is insane.
The impression and definition come from anthropology and history. In this case Chinese means 中华 and there's the Chinese language, race, and culture or 华文, 汉族, 中华文化. I apologise if I don't grasp some nuance from the words in Chinese I chose but from an objective, historical point of view, these terms are consistent. The lineage and changes (or lack of changes) of these has been established with varying levels of definitiveness.

The most definitive is the ancestry Han. DNA tracing has established the genetic continuity of a Han race going back thousands of years, with an extremely homogeneous genetic profile between members of the race. 95% of the population of China and Taiwan belong to this race, with a 5% of minorities.

Next most definitive is the language. The modern form of what is called regular script (I am unsure if what it is called in Chinese but it is traditional Chinese today), was the predominant form since about 250 AD. Certain words have become archaic and literary allusions might be lost. And aside from the changes in word order, you could read texts from this period onwards (with some difficulty). The governments of China all used this script, with certain governments also using additional languages like Manchu. The way it was spoken did vary a lot even till today, but there definitely is the Chinese language that both Taiwan and China uses. The fact that people from these countries can converse in their native tongue is basic empirical proof you speak the same language.

Culture is the least definitive concept, but it's very plain you have a shared culture. It's not exactly the same (and culture varies within a country too) but historically it is very clear it comes from the same culture. Frankly it's quite a basic fact that the people on Taiwan and China have historically been part of same people.

I'd like to emphasize what the CCP says does not change anything about the history and anthropology of it. I'd I'm being blunt, both what might be called the "CCP Han identity" and "Taiwanese identity" are political movements. In the case of the CCP to associate themselves with the history of China (which has swung wildly given their behavior especially during the cultural revolution) and in the case of Taiwanese identity (which has intensified in recent decades because of the geopolitical situation).
> This + k8s magic that seem to make thing coupled tighter.

I think nobody really talks about this, but unless you have a docker-compose.yml that includes everything you need for local development, it's increasingly more likely that you'll end up coupling things to Kubernetes to such a degree that running without it (and its abstractions) will become more effort than a person can muster.

So while people try to create services that are decoupled from one another, they end up instead coupling them to Kubernetes concepts and a service mesh, service discovery, configuration and secret management mechanisms, persistent storage abstractions and so on.

Which you can obviously do if you want to, but which might make running things locally in a minimalistic fashion that much more complex.

It's the same as with for example using a web server as a reverse proxy for my applications and ending up putting some logic in there (e.g. route rewrites, headers etc.) and then realizing that I must also run a similar web server locally for 1:1 compatibility because something like Vue dev server proxy to the locally running API won't be able to give me all that.
Another Safari CSS failure for typography is drop-cap support, which is where the first letter of a paragraph is drawn larger and in capitals. It's a year since I looked at this, but the comments explaining the weird CSS say:

> This was actually remarkably difficult to get right: the trick is setting line-height and height to < 1em. If they were, eg, 7rem to match the font size then FireFox and Safari render very differently, with Safari showing a much taller gap in the text that the dropcap was centered in.

The same CSS (https://daveon.design/manuscript-vintagedave.css) applies typographical sentence spacing to sentences within a paragraph, which you can see on any article, eg: https://daveon.design/what-are-you-optimising-for.html

I would love to see more CSS support for _typography_: not letter spacing, but actual typographical layout. The article is dead-on accurate when it says we still can't reach what was normal in layout for six centuries.
My number one productivity tip for blogging is to lower your standards. Don't hold onto a piece until you think it's good enough - always publish when you know that there are improvements you could still make.

The alternative is a folder full of drafts and never publishing anything at all.

With the exception of egregious errors none of your readers will ever know how much better your piece of writing could have been.
