The Evolution of Biological Information: How Evolution Creates Complexity, From Viruses to Brains by Christoph Adams, 2024
Why information is the unifying principle that allows us to understand the evolution of complexity in nature. More than 150 years after Darwin’s revolutionary On the Origin of Species, we are still attempting to understand and explain the amazing complexity of life.

The function of good software is to make the complex appear to be simple.

I think your point is well taken. My introduction to ZFS was gradual, deploying it first on spare H/W to see what it was all about and about half a year later, migrating my home lab file server to ZFS. Years later I'm installing desktop, laptop and servers with ZFS on root. I admit to being a ZFS fanboy, but that took time and practice.
And as always backups are king!

@janl The purpose is to warn bystanders to invest in technological #complexity that seems to be very attractive for its advanced features without acknowledging the risks or efforts associated.
Its learning curve doesn't even allow for an easy start.
As with so many awesome tools, this is something for specific experts and not for new/occasional/advanced users.
BTDT and I've had my fair share of bad experiences.
Current pain in my setup: #NixOS. Instead of providing an abstraction layer to keep away certain OS setup & maintenance problems for good, I got into so many little & bigger troubles that I try to tell people only to use it when they are ready to invest its required learning effort all the way.
From my point of view, this also holds true for "advanced" file systems like #ZFS, #XFS, ... YMMV.

Hans Busstra interviews theoretical physicist and #complexity scientist #JamesGlattfelder on his new book: “The #SapientCosmos: What a modern-day synthesis of science and philosophy teaches us about the emergence of information, consciousness, and meaning”, published by #EssentiaFoundation.
Can a #newscience bridge the gap between the noumena and the phenomena, the 1st person and the 3rd person perspective? A bit more provocatively: what is the relationship between #physics, #psychedelic experiences and #shamanism? #Glattfelder makes a plea for syncretic idealism: a worldview that synthesises ancient idealist texts and mystical experiences with physics, complexity science and analytic idealism.
#SyncreticIdealism could lead to a #ScientificSpirituality, a form of #empiricalmysticism that acknowledges a purposeful universe, wanting to know itself through ever increasing complexity."
Ugly programs are like ugly suspension bridges: they're much more liable to collapse than pretty ones, because the way humans (especially engineer-humans) perceive beauty is intimately related to our ability to process and understand complexity. A language that makes it hard to write elegant code makes it hard to write good code.

Reducing CSS Complexity With the “:is()” Pseudo-Class, by @cferdinandi:
https://gomakethings.com/reducing-css-complexity-with-the-is-pseudo-class/
gomakethings.comReducing CSS complexity with the :is() pseudo-classLast week, I finally had a reason to use the newish :is() CSS pseudo-class, and wow is it glorious!
Today, I want to show you how it can dramatically reduce selector complexity. Let’s dig in!
What :is() does The :is() pseudo-class accepts a comma-separated list of selectors, and can be used to group them together.
For example, these two selector strings do the same thing…
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { font-weight: bold; } :is(h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6) { font-weight: bold; } You’re probably look at this and thinking…
It's okay to figure out murder mysteries, but you shouldn't need to figure out code. You should be able to read it.

"If you want to be a convincing advisor, psychological research tells us that your observations/facts and rational arguments may have relatively little effect. You need to make sure your relation with the person you need to convince is as good as possible and the message is heard as often as possible."

Event complexity requires both leading and following. Confront attendees with their power to influence, as well as to exercise their freedom.
Software engineers should control #complexity, but very often I see the exact opposite.
