It also has to do with how legitimization works within the Chinese culture. Things with lineages and ancestors are more seen as more legitimate, and the Chinese (historically at least) are not above borrowing it. Related is the complex and

There is a lot missing in any translation of the Dao De Jing, because nothing really captures the various layers of meanings from the original. There are also some meanings that are made clear with realizations and gnosis (for the lack of a

She talks about paradigms and world views, about how those can build on each other. This is important because often times, the really difficult problems are found outside of the current paradigm. It's when one can think in the other pa

I have a book on toxic masculinity on my shelf, and it is written as a deep exploration of psychology, archetypes, etc. The usual rhetoric I hear about toxic masculinity is very far away from the contents of that book. It is really easy to

I see even a metaphor of “overpowering”, “strength in numbers” as deeply problematic because it is indicative of paradigm and world view. This goes beyond signaling and messaging. It’s difficult to be aware of one’s own paradigm, let alone

I don’t see it as nitpicking so much as fundamental flaws with this approach. We’ll have to agree to disagree on this.

Characterizing competition as exclusively individualistic is I think, a very limiting and overly simplistic way to see this. There is such a thing as collectives and institutions being competitive. Both cooperation and competition is part o

I'm curious, can you give examples? I hear this issue pretty loudly from the right, but not really much from the left. I know ordinary people talk about this issue, but it isn't the same as people in positions of power or influen

Do you have some links to articles about this topic from the left? I typically hear this from the right and have yet to hear something from the left, and I'm curious about how it's framed and understood.

I have made use of tracing, metrics, and logging all together and find each of them have its own place, as well as synergies of being able to work with all three together. Cost is a real issue, and not just in terms of how much the vendor c

There are things you can do with metrics and logging that you cannot do with traces. These usually fall outside of debugging application performance and bottlenecks. So I think what the author says is true if you are only thinking about app

by hosh 3y ago
That’s weird. I use both logging and tracing where I can. And metrics. While there are better tools for alerting, metrics, or aggregations, it helps a lot in debugging and troubleshooting.

This is a good video on the specific design principles for guilds, from Canandian Permaculture Legacy at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLPUN2wGbwA And yeah, site analysis is where I would start: 1. "Where Am I?&quot

There’s a more thoughtful way of designing this. In the permaculture world, these would be called “guilds”. Species are selected with an understanding of canopy layers (so that plants don’t compete for sunlight and can still fill in spaces

A lot of microservices introduce unnecessary complexity. Erlang and Elixir are unusual in that you can have independent “microservices” running within a monolith.

There was a time I used to think I was doing my part by recycling. I did not know then, this stuff gets ship overseas to be dumped, or that it often gets burned. Or that the ethics of recycling was a result of clever marketing by the corps

Pollution is not driven by climate change. It is driven by our industrial processes that includes fossil fuels. It also includes the processes that goes into high-tech materials. We don’t have forever chemicals and microplastics because of

Atmospheric temperature is one thing. A focus on that leaves blindspots to things like land temperatures. Soil is alive, dirt is dead. Healthy soils helps with water retention, and changes the local microclimates. So does designing canopy l

Take polar bears for example. At the rate things are going, they will go extinct. On the other hand, the polar bears that are cross breeding with their cousins, the grizzly bear, are producing offspring better adapted to melting ice caps. I

Pollution, desertification, ocean acidification, habitat destruction are as great, if not greater concerns, and yet here we are, picking a single metric as if changing that alone will solve everything.

This looks exciting! I was at a shop where we adopted retool to take the burden off of the engineering team for internal tooling, and I think this is taking it to the next level. Looking forward to see more.

Python and Ruby have some things where the intuitions are exactly inverted from one another. It took me a long time to figure out why Python rubbed me the wrong, and that if I dig up how I used to structure code in Pascal, it’s fine. Not th

If you ever feel comfortable sharing that story, I’m interested in hearing it. For me, I came across John Todd’s work from the podcast, Permaculture for the Future. It was part of a much larger toolkit and solutions we already have for heal

One of the books I tried reading, reads like something non-scientific with a liberal sprinkling of mysticism. I personally don’t mind that, but it overshadows the science for people coming in from that way. It’s why I looked for talks that
