Defending that particular kind of driver: He might not have known to be the last car. But one thing he knows for sure: a long line of cars in front of him. Speeding up or keeping distance is pointless, so he uses that moment to be friendly instead.

Not sure why this is being downvoted. Alexander von Humboldt did a similar statement in his "Buch der Begegnungen" where he compares and finds cultures from tropical areas to be more "lazy" as all the fruits just grow on their own without any human involved.

However, these types of posts often lack are concrete examples of what a good design document actually looks like

The entire post is an application of his document designing philosophy. It became obvious with his first header being "Goal" and him mentioning to set a goal early on.

Or you can just check if the step was skipped. I don't get the point of the article.

Managing a monorepo with acyclic dependencies is super easy: dornys path filter in one job and the other jobs check

1. whether their respective or any dependency's path got changed 2. and all dependency jobs were either successful or skipped.

Done. No need to write an article.

History is written by the winner. So I would not say that historical records themselves have a value, but historical studies overall including archaeology, cross-checking multiple scripts from different sources.

So noise has always been there as well as methods do deal with noise.

I don't think that Chinese people have problems knowing how to spell a character as different characters share the same pronunciation (more or less) if they have the same phonetic component[1]. So pinyin helps literally zero.

What is harder is to distinguish the meaning of all these characters. Let's take this set as an example: 里理哩鲤鯉俚娌悝锂鋰

Ok, they are all pronounced the same, but guessing or knowing all their meanings is a different game. "鲤" has to be a fish that's pronounced li3. That might still be easy, but the more abstract the meaning-giving character radical is, the harder it becomes to distinguish all of them.
