if getting what I wanted depended on me overriding my emotional impulses with reason I would simply not look back

and in the other direction, we can also find instances where the natural world has developed efficient solutions for these same problems! after all, transporting nutrients is very similar in design constraints to transporting people

ofc the similarities are superficial, as these network types have radically different purposes & dynamics, w/ the flow units interacting in v different ways

but the emergent similarities of design approaches point at underlying parallels in flow networks

path-dependant identity; why is it not the same, even though the end result is comparable? bc the structure of the potential interaction state spaces differs on the macro; only the micro overlaps. many other examples of such; consider ancaps and neolibs.

how do we make this happen in the US? is public opinion different in those countries? is is the relative strength of Big Oil?

anyway so i'm using Postman to test the api (great tool if ur not familiar), here's a small sample workflow of me showing the db is empty, uploading the gif, showing its there (not rendered in postman but we see the bytes), and then deleting it and showing its gone

Show thread

have been using this gif as a test, both bc its funny and bc an animated gif is useful for ensuring all my bit-wrangling works fine

i was midly concerned i'd somehow mess it up and it wouldnt animate when i downloaded it back, but happily this was easier than i expected

once we have basic requirements, we proceed to design a minimally-viable architecture that will allow us to implement the capabilities we want with minimal hassle; in this stage it is critical to fight the urge to over-engineer. i had to roll back several too-ambitious plans here

(ftr using "meme" here to mean "funny internet picture")

i thought about using existing tools, but frankly nothing i considered met my needs exactly

what are these needs? great question; any project has to start with gathering requirements and brainstorming
