The screenshot of the "app" is useful because the actual webpage you're looking at probably has a newsletter signup modal, misleading cookie banner, and a couple of ads on it.

There's a lot in Solaris (at least in the 1976 movie and the book). In almost all sci-fi which contains aliens, they're easily comprehend-able by humans - they have motivations we can describe in our own language, a physical form

That would definitely be better, although you're still only capturing part of what's available, or at least a biased sample of what's available. Different form factors come onto the market at different rates - some may never

It's indeed unsurprising that if you look at the designs produced to match a specific context (AirBnB) you'll get a good amount of uniformity, as sellers converge on efficient solutions. If you looked in other contexts (high end a

There's a game this made me think of, which I now cannot remember or work out the name of. You had a collection of objects (think coloured plastic triangles, cubes etc.) and one player arranges a few of them into groups, which should a

Indeed. How would you go about scientifically assigning something like "agency" or its lack to any particular entity? In ordinary language we are perfectly happy to use agency-adjacent words when talking about non-animal entities

I don't think a logical positivist would have much a problem with the content (although perhaps they wouldn't like the language used). How would you go about verifying that the Mississippi does not have "agency" but a sl

"Solaris" is an interesting exploration of a situation in which this is maybe not the case.

I don't have exactly the same problems - our dev stack if pretty old fashioned but works well (dotnet). I don't enjoy it as much either though, most business problems are either easy + tedious to resolve, or involve making a compl

I've been to Lunettes pour Tous stores https://lunettespourtous.com/ in the past. It felt revolutionary, because you could walk in, get an eye test, and have your glasses made within 30 minutes at the same store, at a

I don't really understand how this analogy works in terms of the actual practice of running load tests. You should of course test the full flow, the important part is not implicitly limiting the input volume based on the system perform

This seems to encourage you to run it with a target number of concurrent users, rather than a target RPS from the loaders, which IME can result in difficulty interpreting the results (it also doesn't reflect most use cases, except in s

It's very easy to misinterpret the results of load tests. A common mistake is to run the wrong sort of load test (explained here[1]) and have your loaders automatically back off when latency starts increasing. As the author of the OP t

The dodged NI contributions can be passed through via higher comp though - it ends up reducing the total cost of employment.

It's messed up that the UK has such differential tax rates between employment and self employment that this matters at all.

Given that Santa Monica is in the USA, my suspicion is that it's wood frame rather than mass timber as deployed elsewhere, with thick heavily insulated flooring, see e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZGuSC7KNvM

This is totally untrue IME of modern mass timber buildings. The sound isolation is excellent.

No comment on the policy etc, but I think the presentation of the numbers is a bit misleading. That 10% is the percent of flagged images which are actually OK. Whether this represents a large fraction of all legal content depends on how muc
