if you don't have sufficient political clout or influence, you seek sponsorship or backing from others with it to accrue more influence for your idea. You can pay consultants to agree with your idea and produce pretty charts and whitepapers for it.

What Books do you enjoy in physical form?

treatmesubj — Mon, 09 Dec 2024 21:26:47 +0000

My Grandmother asks what (physical) book I'd like for Christmas each year. Last year I asked for Pro Git. This year I might ask for Data Structures & Algorithms in Python.

I listen to countless audio-books, but don't find myself sitting down to read a physical book except for this strange tech-knowledge niche, where I can learn without it feeling like laptop-work-overtime because it's a physical book. Do you like any particular books in physical form?

fair enough, I guess the TTL exceeded response is how you learn about each hop

Is the guy's response really that far off?

Each router checks its table for the destination, and if it doesn't know it, queries the next upstream router, its default route, the next hop. Each router likely ultimately informs you of the hand-off via a packet of some sort, and your then traceroute sends a ping/ICMP to each hop to learn how far away they are.

He maybe could've been pushed to expand on what he did know in more detail, but it seems like she just threw out SNMP as misleading bait, and he maybe mixed up ICMP and SNMP. She is right to call herself a troll, but wow, that's crazy to say she caught the guy in a lie of insanity.

Learned about vim's pretty cool TOhtml via https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaXeEhcOe-E and added a vim-lightline and tmux status bar, which I think looks cool.

Pantone's Terms of Use, hyperlinked at the bottom of their home page, leads to a page that doesn't exist

homepage: https://www.pantone.com/hk/en/

I was hoping to wrap my head around Pantone's IP.

New comment by treatmesubj in "Is there such a thing as good taste?"

treatmesubj — Mon, 15 Nov 2021 23:39:53 +0000

Such thing as 'good' taste (in art)? *Is there 'good' art? Are there 'good' artists?

Graham says: If no such thing as 'good' taste >>> no such thing as 'good' art >>> no such thing as being 'good' at making art You could still have popular art, but not 'good' art. In a vaccum, on the whole, people would generally say Davinci's art was better than a 4-year-old's *probably because it seems more impressive or skillful

*Art-skill is the effectiveness of conveying a concept to the observer or illiciting a desired response from the observer

---- someone basically commented: You can be extrememly skilled at making some obscure art that no one else could make, but almost no one likes, but if the target niche receives it well, you made good art.

You can make popular art with virtually no effort, that literally anyone else could've made.

somone responded: > and there are many productions which take virtually no effort which people love It only takes a quick trip to reddit to see this in action. In a thread where people were talking about the jails and the overall penal system, someone said "heh...penal" and it had several Golds and thousands of points. ----

someone basically commented: People who like Pop music are regarded as having horrible taste, yet Pop music is wildly popular.

*Are the people who make Pop music 'good' at making music? Yes, they effectively make music designed to be consumed by the masses

*Then, why do the people who like Pop music have bad taste? Well, you'd assume that if they're choosing to listen to widely consumable music of their own volition, rather than using their time appreciating more sophisticated music, that takes more knowledge to appreciate, they probably don't have good taste.

*Taste is the ability to recognize _power_ in art. If you can recognize power in art without it already being widely appreciated, but you expect it to down the line, and it does become popular down the line, you have good taste.
