I guess it makes a sort of sense. Eyes sense photons, touch detects physical force, tongue and nose give useful attributes of chemical properties, and neuron clusters adjudicate probability, the navigation of all the…
Ah, I'm a dummy. Of course these would be binaries getting chucked around.
I mentioned it in a separate parent, but null purge is - for the stuff I work with - completely non-negotiable. Nulls seem to break virtually everything, just by existing. Furthermore, old-timey PDFs are chock full of…
Yeah, that's via an OTA, which is basically - comparatively - free money. It's not a PoR (Program of Record). PoRs are where (many naive people think) all the money is. All those people are incorrect. It is, however,…
A company like Google (or Apple for that matter), with their own freewheeling project systems, would rather jump into an olympic pool filled with razor blades and used condoms before taking any amount of money from the…
GitLab on-prem is way, way, way more elegant than trying to get GitHub on-prem working. One of the things that makes me go, "Gah?" is that, well, Atlassian is more or less abandoning on-prem Bitbucket going forward.…
What a loss. Killer Elite was one of my favorite modern pieces of war reporting. Wright didn't let the hilariously dystopic "embedded" rules muzzle him or intimidate him - no, he went to play bullet dodger with Marine…
> And most documentation systems are far easier adopted by people other than engineers. Whew, gonna have to have a hard disagree with you there. DaC is several times - nay, orders of magnitude - less complicated than…
Also a market for putting a more doc-focused UI on git, integrating that too[1]. Pull Requests are basically gold for doc review, but the process of getting to the PR is something that always seems to need a bit of…
Lots of DaC shops use feature flags for their conditional content. "Conditional Content" is a huge hobbyhorse in component content, because you need conditionals to re-use chunks. How else could the chunk be made…
The city laments of the ancient near east might fall near this, but definitely many Roman writers, like Vegetius, saw very clearly that their civilization was headed for oblivion, and they wrote about it, sometimes…
Yeah, but it's very much worth hitting the seven-or-eight figure crypto holders too - those guys don't have the liquidity to support 24/7 security staff. Sure, they could buy some tech, but security tech . . I'm trying…
"Easy" and "hard" are a lot less important than "risk", I think. Sure, as entrepreneur, I might make 200% gains one out of four times versus 10% gains four out of four times as FTE, but if I'm not already sitting on…
Watch the bond rating. They're at the very verge of junk right now, and if they slip into BB territory that might trigger a whole bunch of stuff to happen very quickly.
Nuclear-electric, with electric ducted props all over the airframe, is probably the best heavy-lift aviation propulsion system. Same as or better power density, insane efficiency, virtually unlimited range, 10-100x less…
I don't think this sounds silly at all. Virtually everywhere we look in cosmology the last decade or so, you get a sensation of things unseen. Like we're looking at one of those optical illusions that change shape when…
"But it's not structured!" I swim around a lot in the "XML High Priesthood" pool, and the latest new thing is this: AI (sucking down unstructured documents) isn't capable of efficient functioning without Knowledge…
I got one. Say I gave it a corpus of structured[1] files that follow Schema X, then I gave it a pile of outputs (PDF, HTML) generated from that corpus, where StructureFileName.xml = StructuredFileName.pdf. Could you see…
Author Jon Ireland AKA "SwannMarcus" on Xitter, incidentally. As my uncle might have said, "Whuff. That's a good 'un".
Unless you can figure out a way to bill fetuses for capital projects, gonna have to go with a "nope!". I know I'm being a little silly here, but this kind of thing is what you get with under-/post-/non-industrialized…
To explain how that relates to your point re: stages. The stage of our perception isn't stable. When we started voyaging on ships, that changed it. We went to orbit, whew boy. Today, maybe our terminally-online presence…
No, I apparently dodged the trap of words pretty handily there when I meant to type "subscribe". I apologize, I'm dealing exclusively in XSLT today and I can feel my brain screaming.
Not quite. I don't ascribe completely to the notion that we can't figure stuff out. But we do need to be careful about assuming that things like 3d topology (aka "inside", "outside", when the mathematical spaces we're…
When I hear debates about whether or not the universes are black holes nested inside each other, or what the fate of the cosmos is, I often have an instinctive reaction to question whether or not concepts like "inside",…
Everything about the official inflation calculation is almost totally borked in terms of generating useful information. Like, information that would be useful for someone doing something real, like future historians or…
