The Comics How To... 15: MY RESOLUTION
Well, there you have it, my process for writing a comic book script by example, not by theory. I'm not saying it's the right way or the wrong way, but it's a way to get a book written. It's not a groundbreaking method by any means (if it's a method at all), but...

A quotation from Samuel Johnson

But there is a higher order of men so inspired with ardour, and so fortified with resolution, that the world passes before them without influence or regard: these ought to consider themselves as appointed the guardians of mankind: they are placed in an evil world, to exhibit publick examples of good life; and may be said, when they withdraw to solitude, to desert the station which Providence assigned them.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
Essay (1754-01-19), The Adventurer, No. 126

Va perfecto esto en #X11, el único tema es que, cuando suspendo el sistema, al despertarlo, tengo que ejecutar el comando xrandr de nuevo porque pierde el escalado de pantalla...

He probado varias cositas pero nada parece funcionar... habrá que actualizar y seguir buscando info 🙂

La otra, pasar mi #lxqt a #wayland, y cruzar los dedos con el driver de la #nvidia, mientras no se me joda el #minecraft, todo bien 😅

#ITByte: #Entity #Resolution (ER), also known as entity matching, record linkage, or duplicate detection, is the process of identifying and linking records across different data sources that refer to the same real-world entity.

Jean-Crowle a pris une bonne résolution: se remettre à la natation ! Mais il n'a pas de bonnet de bain et c'est maintenant obligatoire... "Pas de souci", lui a dit sa grand-mère, "je te prête le mien ! Il est plein de frou-frous, il t'ira à merveille". Trop stylax ! Merci Mamie !

Today I received my village's garbage collection calendar, which is composed of an overview of the concept and a yearly calendar of pickup days per neighbourhood. My systematic self read all of it (mostly to check if there is any recategorisation of stuff since last year).

I was particularly pleased by the sustainability advice in 15 points, that starts with the usual "give away unused clothes, use the bookcrossing shelf in the city square, make use of the free e-cargo-bikes, prefer tap water" and ends with "question role models, encourage discussion, go vote" which in a very extended meaning can be seen as... garbage management of social constructs?

It made my day! I feel more willing to be involved in my village's (practical) management and also motivated to clean up and correctly dispose of unused/broken/non-functional thoughts.

Formal Foundations for the Single Source of Truth Principle

Any system encoding facts faces a fundamental constraint: when multiple independent locations encode the same fact, truth becomes indeterminate. We prove that DOF = 1 (Single Source of Truth) is the unique representation guaranteeing coherence, the impossibility of disagreement among encodings. The Core Theorem (Oracle Arbitrariness). In any incoherent encoding system (DOF > 1 with divergent values), no resolution is principled: for ANY oracle claiming to identify the "true" value, there exists an equally-present value that disagrees. This is not about inconvenience. It is about the determinacy of truth. Programming languages instantiate this epistemic structure: encoding systems become codebases, facts become structural specifications (class existence, method signatures), coherence becomes consistency across encoding locations, and DOF = 1 becomes the Single Source of Truth (DRY principle). Encoding systems → CodebasesFacts → Structural specifications (class existence, method signatures)Coherence → Consistency across encoding locationsDOF = 1 → Single Source of Truth (DRY principle)We prove that achieving DOF = 1 for structural facts requires specific language features: definition-time hooks AND introspectable derivation. Most mainstream languages (Java, C++, Rust, Go, TypeScript, etc.) lack these features and cannot achieve coherence for structural facts regardless of programmer effort. Four Theorems: Coherence Forcing: DOF = 1 is the unique value guaranteeing coherence. DOF = 0 means the fact is unrepresented; DOF > 1 permits incoherent states.Oracle Arbitrariness: Under incoherence, any resolution is arbitrary, no oracle is justified by the encodings alone.Language Requirements: For structural facts in software, DOF = 1 requires definition-time hooks AND introspection. These are logically forced.Strict Dominance: The coherence restoration complexity gap is unbounded: O(1) vs Ω(n).Theoretical Foundation. The derivation theory (independence, derivability, axis collapse) is established in previous work (https://zenodo.org/records/18123532). This paper proves the coherence consequences and instantiates them to programming languages. All theorems machine-checked in Lean 4 (2,104 lines, 119 theorems). Practical demonstration via OpenHCS PR #44: migration from 47 scattered checks to 1 ABC (DOF 47 → 1).
