What do you see in the picture? A piece of cardboard? Some junk? No! — It’s a model!

Thread on models and bounded contexts 1/9

#DDDesign #BoundedContext

It’s a model of the Siemens KG86NAI31L fridge. The cardboard doesn’t look anything like the fridge? — That’s true but not important. A model is not a copy of a real-world entity but a construct supposed to solve a problem. 2/9

Hence, the correct question to ask is: what problem does this model solve? In our apartment, we have a weird entry to the kitchen. The cardboard’s is in the size of the fridge’s width and depth, and the problem it solves is checking whether it can make it through the door. 3/9

As the saying goes, all models are wrong, but some are useful. This model is wrong in many different ways. Nevertheless, it is useful. It helped us to decide whether to buy the fridge or look for a smaller one. 4/9

Building an exact, 3d cardboard copy of the fridge would definitely be a fun project! But would it make the solution any better or more precise? No. If the 2d model fits, a 3d model will fit as well. 5/9

But what about the fridge’s height? What if the base fits, but it’s too tall for that door? Would that justify building a 3d cardboard fridge? — Nope. A simple tape measure does the job. What is a tape measure in this case? — Another simple model. 6/9

So we have two models of the same fridge to check whether it can make it through our weird kitchen door. That piece of cardboard and a tape measure reflect the DDD’s approach to modeling business domains. 7/9

A domain model should omit the extraneous information irrelevant to its task. Also, no need to design a complex jack-of-all-trades model if multiple, much simpler models can effectively solve each problem individually. 8/9

Finally, a model is only valid for the specific problem it is supposed to solve: its bounded context. 9/9

Neumorphism is a trendy UI style nowadays. So let's create a neumorphic form using few simple steps

THREAD🧵

Neumorphic design is another UI design that has become popular these days.

Making neumorphic effect is actually pretty easy using only just CSS box-shadow

We'll be creating a neumorphic form in steps👇🏼

2.

STEP 1:

Place a light source(virtually) on screen. In this example I'm considering that my light source is placed top left corner of the screen

3.

STEP 2:

Create a container div and set background color slightly darker than white. I picked #ecf0f3

* Make sure that the color of body and container should be same

CONTINUE...

4.

As we placed our light source on top-left corner, make sure left and top border of container should be brighter than right and bottom border.

This will make the element looks like it has the light source illuminating from the top left corner of the screen.

I've been thinking about the "reframing of powerlessness as righteousness" with regards to design education, and I want to jot down some loose thoughts...

A person who adamantly argues for why you are powerless and takes offense at your self-determination could not be more clear about what role they prefer you in.

Around 2012, while on summer break from what I felt was a lackluster school year, I was kind of at a breaking point. A prominent designer was peddling this self-help program, a $6000 weeklong workshop that centered around dinner with him and his influential friends.

His response to a fan who was deeply inspired by him and wanted to be a better designer, who asked "what if I can't afford the $6000?" was "You simply don't *want* to afford it." It's not a priority for you. I remember seeing it on Facebook and getting up from my chair.

It was gross, and it felt like the latest incident in what seemed like a long generational road of manipulating impressionable young people into thinking that the only thing stopping them from having the lives of these visible figures was passion

It felt wrong. Absolutely wrong. I thought about my best friend from high school. Someone just as—if not more—talented than me in art. Both of us dreamed of going to the same art school. Only one of us did. His familial socioeconomics as his undocumented status made it impossible

It's quite instructive looking at fonts with problems! I see the same mistakes when Latin-accustomed designers tackle Southeast Asian scripts. Here are the main ones...

1. In Latin, we make the arches of m a bit narrower than in n, but this is not a universal principle! As a rule don't assume this applies to other scripts. Don't start condensing letters with more bowls in Burmese or Thai. Use the same element...

...but be aware of exceptions! Better to take your lead from locally-designed fonts, where native designers know the proportions. There's no substitute for careful examination of plenty of other designs...

In Latin, though we may not see it, we balance shapes towards the baseline. The bottom half of B, 3, S or H is larger than the top half, as we see when flipping these letters. This is not a universal rule!

This logic doesn't apply to Thai and Burmese; remember these derive from Indian scripts where there isn't so much a baseline as a headline, from which letters hang. Knowing the history of the letters explains so much.

@pcmac41 @PaoloWalnuts I looked into this as I was very surprised and thought it could be quite dangerous to go against the trial design.

I learnt a lot while i was doing it! There are a lot of misunderstandings and quite a few counterintuitive bits as well.

Thread...

@PaoloWalnuts There's some obvious stuff like the fact that the JCVI is a longstanding body with a lot of very bright folks on it. Also, again stating the obvious, immunology and immune responses are really complex.

I've worked on a mAb and i will happily admit i didn't get the details! 1/

@PaoloWalnuts To digress a little, i think AZ have serendipitously learnt lots about adenovirus vaccines through the seeming unplanned hiccups in their study. This is all brand new tech and it wasn't entirely obvious beforehand that small initial dose and long interval would be good. 2/

@PaoloWalnuts It makes sense afterwards (for an adenovirus vx) and it also confirms why longer time between doses can be good. You let the vx get all the way through "teaching the body how to respond a little bit, and once it's developed its response it's way more efficient with the booster 3/

@PaoloWalnuts Which begs a critical question that really bothered me: why did pfizer go with a 21dy regime? We have to trust what they say don't we? 4/

Some people really benefit from hearing advice that everyone knows, for the same reason we keep schools open despite every subject in them having been taught before.

In that spirit, here's some quick Things Many People Find Too Obvious To Have Told You Already.

Your idea is not valuable, at all. All value is in the execution. You think you are an exception; you are not. You should not insist on an NDA to talk about it; nobody serious will engage in contract review over an idea, and this will mark you as clueless.

Technologists tend to severely underestimate the difficulty and expense of creating software, especially at companies which do not have fully staffed industry leading engineering teams ("because software is so easy there, amirite guys?")

Charge more. Charge more still. Go on.

The press is a lossy and biased compression of events in the actual world, and is singularly consumed with its own rituals, status games, and incentives. The news necessarily fails to capture almost everything which happened yesterday. What it says is important usually isn't.

Companies find it incredibly hard to reliably staff positions with hard-working generalists who operate autonomously and have high risk tolerances. This is not the modal employee, including at places which are justifiably proud of the skill/diligence/etc of their employees.

Remembering Colonel Anil Kaul, VrC (Retd) on his 3rd Death Anniversary.

“It was October 12, 1987, exactly 5:55 pm as I was… coming out of the cupola of my T-72 tank on a steamy evening in an unknown place called Kokkuvil in the Jaffna district of Northern Sri Lanka.+

I froze in that confined space at what I saw. An LTTE militant stood at 60 meters aiming his rocket-propelled gun at my tank.

In a flash he fired. Probably having lost his nerve he aimed too low. The projectile hit the left mudguard of the tank, but for some inexplicable reason+

did not explode. It then hit the side of the main gun and then exploded on top of the turret, all in a fraction of a second. Before I knew, it seemed I had received a straight right punch so to say to my chin. I saw some blood appear on my left hand and there was a sharp drop in+

Lt Colonel (now Lt Gen) Dalbir Singh, then Commanding Officer of 10 Para Commando, who was standing on the engine deck said to me, “Yaar what a close shave.”

fraction of a second, as if it was a rewind of my entire life, thoughts raced through my life as to how and when I had landed myself in such a situation…

AHOBILAM NARASIMHA SWAMY KSHETRAM: KURNOOL (AP)
#andhratemples

Ahobilam is the place where Prabhu appears in his fierce form, called Ugra Narasimha, who is Svayambhu (self-manifest).
Ahobilam is one of the 108 Divya Desams. It has 9 shrines for different forms of Narsimha.

Ahobilam was the exact place where Sri Narasimha appeared and tore apart Hiranyakashipu to save Prahlad. At that moment, all the Devas appeared and praised him as Ahobala (Aho is mighty and bala is strength). So the place came to be called Ahobilam.

Out of the 9 shrines, most famous is the Ahobila Narasimha Swamy where Prabhu is seen as Ugra Narasimha.
In another shrine, Prabhu appears as Malola Narasimha Swamy. Malola means beloved of Lakshmi. Here Prabhu is in peaceful mudra with his consort Ma ChenchuLakshmi.

Jwala Narasimha Swamy shrine is the actual spot where the fierce anger of Prabhu reached its culmination when he tore Hiranyakasipu.

Ugra Stambham is the pillar from which Narasimha appeared with such force that the entire hill split into two.

Story 21 - it is about how stone elephant came to life and ate sugarcane - When Raja Abhisheka Pandyan met Ellam Valla Siddhar

கல்யானைக்கு கரும்பருத்திய படலம்

Raja Abhisheka Pandiyan went ahead to meet Ellam Valla Siddhar on the premises of the temple.On seeing the arrival of Raja, people surrounding Siddhar moved back. Abhisheka Pandiyan introduced himself to Siddhar &asked about his whereabouts.Also his purpose of visit to Madurai.

Raja asked why he performed magical acts, does he expect anything from him or people of Madurai.

Siddhar laughed & replied to Raja that he was from Kasi. He had heard a lot about Madurai in Kashi.Also told that this place is a Mukti Kshetram,so he had come to stay here.

Siddhar asked Raja if he has the capability &power to give anything that he asks for. Siddhar told King that he has power to do things even if he think of it.Siddhar asked King to ask whatever he wants & it would be provided, whatever these people had asked, they were granted.

Abhisheka Pandyan was shocked to receive such a reply from Siddhar,& he decided to test the power of this Siddhar. By that time, Raja saw a person in crowd having Sugarcane.

Raja took Sugarcane from that person.

RISHI PINGALA:THE ANCIENT INDIAN SAGE DISCREDITED FOR HIS MAJOR CONTRIBUTIONS TO MATHEMATICS & PHI

Have you ever heard about,"The Golden Ratio"?
The Golden Ratio or Phi(Greek) is a mathematical ratio of nature. Mother Nature is the most exquisite artist in herself.

&Its this Phi she uses to create all the beauty in World.
If anyone uses this ratio correctly in their art,it can turn into a spell-binding piece of work.Such is the significance of'Phi'.But my thread isn't about it.Its about somethin called'Fibonacci Series'&who actually made it

Phi is related to Fibonacci series(0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34...)
&this series is responsible for everything dat is beautiful on this planet. Just try to calculate the ratio of any 2 successive numbers ÷ each of them by the number before it in above infinite series.

E.g. 3/2=1.5, 5/3=1.666, 8/5=1.6, 34/21=1.61904 and so on. Did you notice something? The ratio is coming almost same every time. This ratio is called 'Phi 'which is numerically represented as 1:1.618. This Golden Spiral is made in exact proportion of 1:1.618.

The thing I want to emphasize here is that we always find only those things appealing and attractive that have Phi. It's in our subconscious. Isn't it some revelation? We are the part of this Divine proportion of the God or the Mother Nature. Check these:
