Looking over this and revisr and gitium, and being already familiar with Drupal's "Features" and new CMI, I feel there is a general pattern here.

The pattern is that we build a tool that allows non-programmers to build more and more complex things, until they are actually programming, and then we find ourselves in a mess because we have "code" with all the complexity of such without the tools and practices to manage it.

I think I saw this decades ago as the community of Unix users I was with developed more and more complex dotfiles, and traded them around, they were modified more and more by non-programmers, until the day someone put them in CVS and shared them.

This definitely happened in the Visual Basic story arc.

I suspect this also happened in COBOL, which started out as a way to let non-programmers program, then became a programming language that non-programmers could at least read and understand, and then became a black art.

I believe this happened with PHP, as it started with a way for non-programming "html coders" to reference the same $footer across all pages, and as that group of programmers moved through their careers and became real programmers, the tools and PHP itself evolved with them.

I think this is happening with Javascript now, as a class of "front end developers" who mostly started out as non-programmer, non-technical graphic designers discovered the power of being able to tell computers what to do, and now are doing things like node.js.

In the CMS world, I think WordPress is a bit behind on this arc compared to Drupal. That's not a criticism, it's just an observation of where a much larger community with a different balance of site builder vs user vs developer is -- WordPress is much further along on arc of widespread adoption, though.

Do you mean text rendered in the browser compared to a screenshot of text rendered as an SVG in Illustrator?

Or do you mean if I screenshotted this reply before sending it - the text would look better in the screenshot than when rendered on the screen?
Why is (2) dependent on anything regarding the number of samples you get at once? Sure, suppose there is a maximum block size; why does anything regarding copying "an entire something" require you to have filled that entire block size with live data? Why can't you just copy however much is available in the buffer?

I don't understand why copies are even relevant: you can make several extra copies and nobody will ever notice. Audio data is trivial in modern systems. Let's say there are two channels coming in; 48000 * 2 * 2 bytes per second is an absolutely trivial amount of data to copy and has been for many years. Building some convoluted (and unreliable) system just to prevent one copy per application, when each application is going to be doing a lot of nontrivial processing on that data, strikes me as foolish. But don't listen to me, look at the fact that Linux audio is still famously unreliable. If the way it's done were a good idea, it would actually work and everyone would be happy with it.
Do what your mentor suggests. Block out some time for a code review. Ask what first steps you should take on the architecture exercise.

Etc.

A mentor is not something a mentee uses. A mentor is someone the mentee knows and trusts from beyond their peer group. If you don't trust your mentors advice, they're not really your mentor. If you don't more or less except your mentor's guidance, you're not really a mentee.

Good luck.
And once the filmmaker has figured out the rules, they understand that there's precedence to having those kinds of jumps. If a real-life scene is moving quickly and I shut my eyes for a second (or if I am moving and shut my eyes for a second, then open them in a different location), my brain can't 'explode' at that or evolution has failed. Our brain interpolates.

And luckily we are intelligent enough to both understand that a series of pictures displayed on a screen is a representation of a real-life scene and also intelligent enough to understand that we don't have to be moving for it to make sense. Unfortunately, understanding those things still takes quite of bit of subconscious brain power anyway, which is why some movies can be exhausting to watch.
SpaceX almost landing as shot from the deck
I've wondered something similar about movies: why do they even make sense to our social brains?

Throughout history, you'd never be in a position where there would be two people having a confidential conversation in which you weren't an active part. How does the monkey brain react to that? The closest thing might be e.g. two village elders discussing your fate in front of you, such that you know you can't participate.

But then, if that's how your brain frames it, why would you enjoy that at all? It would throw off all the indicators of you being low status.

I'm finding that the distinction between Swarm, Compose, and Machine is not immediately obvious. Docker would probably benefit to "you should use this when", kind of logic, between the two.

Clearly, Swarm is the lightweight "cloud" thing (yay!), but if I'm deploying to Swarm, do I use Machine or Compose? Etc.

Possibly too many nouns would be made simpler by a single command line tool with subcommands, that were less skeomorphic, and instead were named after what they did.

Just my two cents, but the documentation needs to explain a bit more of the basics at a high level before going into the weeds, IMHO.

The other gotcha page is "if I'm on Amazon", when would I want to use swarm, if at all, when I had ECS, and how much remains relevant? I'm guessing not so much still applies, but perhaps I'm wrong.

Another good article would be what parts of these new tools remain relevant if I'm using, say, CoreOS (fleet), Kubernetes, or Mesos, or OpenStack with Docker. I'm not saying the others are better, it's just difficult to visualize how they interplay.

Yes. Although you do need a "pop", meaning you can't charge the actual value; you have to underprice it somewhat. If you pop, you get the news and the excitement that comes with launching on a high note. If you overprice, and shares tumble the first day, then you've pissed off the initial investors, and everyone else is scared to invest because of that initial tumble. It makes it much harder to get back to a decent standing.

In addition I think he's just ridiculing whatever Mark Cuban said and not really engaging with it.

It's for counting!? I always had this idea it was like a pseudo-random way of picking one option out of several, like in my part of México we (used-to) use (not-really Spanish) "de tín marín de do-pingüé, cúcara mácara tîtiri füé, yo no fuí, fué te-té, pégale, pégale que ese mero fué". Which reminds me of another one I learnt from a book as a child but have never heard it from anyone else out in the open: "pin-pin, zarambolín, el ratón comer comer, el ratón comer comer, ¿cuánto das por el ratón? cien tostones y un doblón, arre mula carretera pin-pin estás afuera!".

> A few U.S. States had that sentiment, and what they do is have the legislature meet only a few months every year or two.

That might work in a US state that only has a few million inhabitants, but I can't see how an entire country could work this way.

As for the rest, I think you are very much assuming that your legislation system is the one and only way to go, even though looking at it from faraway it's not entirely obvious that it works better than the system we have, which seems to lack basic sanity, uses unenforceable principles and will be abused more often than it's used according to you.

I honestly think quorum rules have no positive impact on democracy, at worst allowing minorities to obstruct legislation by simply not showing up, and at best making clueless members or parliament show up just to vote what they were told to.

* An accident between a bike and pedestrian usually results in the pedestrian getting hurt.
* Footpath is generally too crowded or too small to cater for both pedestrian and bike.
* Kids walking on the footpath are usually absent minded and not lookout for bikes.

In general, it is similar to the reasons why bike and car are not so compatible on the road.
One of the reason for the audio latency issue on Android is the complex power management circuitry (PMIC) implemented on most of not all Qualcomm SoCs. That's why to anyone with experience in regards to using Android device in audios production, most would agree that the older 2011 Galaxy Nexus is still the Android device to use. Unlike the the recent Snapdragon based Nexus device, the GNex is based on TI OMAP4460 (dual-core ARM Cortex A9). It might not be a coincidence the Apple kept the number of cores on its A series SoCs to a minimum (only moving to 3 with the A8X).

> When someone quotes a great author [it is for] the larger meaning of some story signified by that sentence.

That doesn't work when people are exchanging ideas on a forum and not everyone has read the same body of work. Because of the difficulty inherent in estimating who has read what, it is usually smart to avoid arguments "from the arts".

> allowing us to use quotes as "pointers" to ideas much larger than anything we could state briefly.

Larger than you could state briefly. Plus, aphorisms exist to fill in the gap you're talking about - all the benefits of brevity without the need for previous literary knowledge.

The excerpt you quoted reads like a boring story about a character that suffers from an affectation that makes him (her?) obsessed with trying to find reasons for using words loosely. I also didn't understand what he/she meant by "there's glory for you" even after the supposed explanation of what "glory" means in Dumpty's head.

I have heard that Munich drivers are crappy, joking :-)

I have also commuted in other parts of Cologne, but also had good behaviour from the drivers.

The comment made by jballanc probably gets it- "he would always manage to cover some new feature or other thing I didn't know about". People look at the same thing in different ways. When we read a review or watch a game commentary, we are really trying to know how another person may look at it.

There is a lot of work involved in vegetables and fruits, and to some degree shrubs. Most anything that you like, deer will also like. You also can't as easily run around and play various games in something that has shrubs all over it. All of the examples you are showing are, in my opinion, trying to create an outdoor sitting room; which is not what many families want (in my case, I have a deck for that).

I don't water my grass, and it isn't as pretty as some people's yards; but it is perfectly fine for playing in; and looks decent enough.

The whole "sprinkler systems are bad" argument doesn't hold much water in suburban NY.
I don't think that's what the author meant at all. I think the author meant any sudden change in the visual field, e.g. cutting to the next scene, an outside shot, or whatever. It's an interesting perspective, but probably has a simple answer: when you dart your eyes, you already lose a fraction of a second and have to re-process everything. It's not hard for the brain to put things back together or interpret a totally new scene. In fact it probably only becomes tiring if it's at a strobe-like frequency, and extended for several seconds (dozens of cuts, several per second, sustained over multiple seconds.) That's something that we really don't experience, and which really does become tiring or disorienting as a visual effect.

>You actually hear "could ov" and "would ov"

All occurences of the English word spelled "of" are pronounced "ov": pronouncing it with an F sound instead of a V sound would sound strange to an English speaker even where spelling it "of" is correct usage.

Your explanation still applies, though, provided that we assume that the listener actually hears "could v" and "would v", but since there is no word pronounced "v", there's an automatic shunt to the word that is pronounced "ov".
