What you are saying is that UML is not really visual but rather a kind of text. This got me thinking. The text I am writing here is also on one level just text - but I see it as a visual representation of black dots on a white background. B

Diagrams are visual and need many more bites than the code they are created from. Just compare a gif of a diagram and its description. The additional information is how the boxes look - are they big or small, colors, what font is used, what

The UML diagrams are a good example of the problem I am talking about: they carry too much (unessential) information - you can draw the boxes in too many ways.

Now - why rapid - in general because it will be a bank run. People now assume that the dollars they have in the banks (and in notes) can buy them a part of the world economy - when they realize that this part shrunk they'll try to sell

Dalio has gathered quite a lot of data - but he fails to discuss one difference between those past empires and USA. In the past money was based on gold and debasing the currency was quite easy to spot. With pure fiat money there is no such

I am kind of retired on the money I made from crypto - but now I am back at programming because I like it and also because I have an app idea that I like. Maybe it is a different situation - because I also still speculate and read about eco

Ad rationalists - I don't quite understand your objection - if rationalists were different from each other - then they would not have a common name. We name groups of things and people because we think they are similar.

What is 'no code'? Is it everything you can do with computer without writing code? That would probably be too much. Maybe it is about adding a feature (to an existing system) without any code that seems like previously you had to

I have tried using Google Cloud - I spent a lot of time finding a location and getting the permissions to use GPUs. Then one time after I switched off the vm to economize on costs I could not switch it on again because of lack of resources.
