   Undoubtedly, Fowler suggested this as an incomplete step in the development process, essentially to get the code to compile. Incredible that we can tar both complexity and simplicity with the brush of "consultant BS."

   This is awesome! I can definitely see it delivering value, especially over with procedurally generated terrain with 100s or 1000s of different terrain types and combinations—especially if user-defined properties get involved, ie what artist

   These scientists do not think that they have "discovered" anything. They have, undoubtedly, cited prior work as well. The idea is not to pretend that ancient wisdom is nonexistent, but to verify our shared reality independent of t

   Jeeze, why should attribute assignment have side-effects, anyway? That'd be gross!

   A lot of the jokes about JavaScript being messy come from historical quirks—like loose equality, type coercion oddities, or the way `this` behaves—but the ECMAScript specification has been steadily improved over the years by ECMA TC39 (the

   I simply haven't gotten Smart Connections to index my vaults successfully, for whatever reason. So I can't give them a proper review. I'd hope that any inference performed in a given note would take as context not only the fu

   Unlike "value demand," which is genuine demand arising from customer needs, failure demand is demand caused by failures such as errors, defects, inefficiencies, or poor service delivery. For example, if a service does not fulfill

    There's no decent RAG functionality, AFAICT, but the Text-Generator plugin has been fantastic w/ larger contexts and a template that pulls either/both links and backlinks into the inference query window. Hands-down my most pr

    I've always utilized emdashes heavily, and now they're suddenly passe—an unmourned casualty of the new paradigm.

    > learned decoder head That's a really interesting three-word noun-phrase. Is it a term-of-art, or a personal analogy?

    Apologies, "clever" is a poor paraphrase of "domain-specific", or "methods that leveraged human understanding."[0] 0. http://www.incompleteideas.net/IncIdeas/BitterLesson.html

    Yes, although—within a specific range—mild "hormetic" stress or departure from baseline can lead to adaptive and beneficial effects in organic systems. Hormesis is characterized by a biphasic dose-response: low-level exposures t

    As a creative writer, "plot" and "story" have always eluded me. There's something mechanical—pushing, pulling—I just can't seem to construct, but I know when it's missing in books.
