Are you simulating the powder on the GPU or the CPU? I couldn't find any shader code that looked relevant to the sim, so I'm guessing it's the CPU. Any plans on making a GPU version? Seems loke you'd be able to overcome the perf issues and finally make that 3D version.

socjus political correctness in a nutshell.
> If you are taking diversity into account, you are taking things other than merit into account and so it isn't a 'true' meritocracy.

Well, no. The point is that due to inherent unconscious biases (see my link for scientific papers documenting this), it's impossible to only take merit into account without social norms biased towards white men skewing the process. Diversity initiatives seek to eradicate this bias, in order to truly measure merit and compensate for the interfering factors.

> Not only that but it also suffers from the no true Scotsman fallacy.

I really don't see what that's got to do with anything here.

> To avoid unconscious bias, you would have to hire someone without knowing their age, sex, sexual orientation or anything else that you could consider discriminatory. That would mean hiring someone that you haven't and that's a little extreme.

Presumably you mean "you haven't met"? Well exactly. Hence, diversity initiatives that seek to compensate in practical ways.
Design has a high degree of subjectivity so we (designers) can't always have great ideas.

When great ideas don't appear we must be prepared to be called at our work once we are "bluffing". The best strategy to "win the hand" is by making a valid logical argument. We know who is calling our bluff (logical minds) so we adapt to the "opponent". "Folding" is not an option, our management will never allow that.

Normally good design doesn't need a valid argument and speaks by itself. But unfortunately we can't be sure that we will achieve it until the deadline.

Some comments here are like I wrote them. I got an old ZX Spectrum clone from my aunt when I was a kid. Badly obsolete at the time so I did not tell my classmates who already were playing Diablo and NFS on their 486s. I remember scavenging library for these colorful books all the time. They really fascinated me. I think they got one thing right; kick-start the imagination and make kids learn by playing around.
Apple appears to have great difficulty understanding context in video game culture, perhaps as a consequence of Steve Jobs distaste for the form. In this case, they seem unaware that the Binding of Issac is an important, well regarded indie video game, with a high meta critic score, an average score of 10 out 10 across 38,000 steam review.

Unlike many video games, it is noteworthy for examining serious topics, in the developers own words: "It touches on aspects of child abuse, gender identity, infanticide, neglect, suicide, abortion, and how religion might negatively affect a child, which are topics most games would avoid."

This calls to mind the Ultimate General: Gettysburg incident, where Apple apparently acted to remove a title because they didn't understand that wargames use flags to represent opposing factions, and that doing so doesn't imply endorsement.

It should be noted that just as Apple was quite happy to sell Gone with the Wind while pulling a war game, they are also happy to take your $12 and sell you Nabokov's Lolita.

Yet something must have gone wrong. As a European, I've met many Americans who only learned of the US losing the Vietnam war, when they were in Europe.

Some of them might not have been that bright, though. I remember an exchange student protesting a poem we read in English class because she thought it implied the US lost the war. There was complete silence in class and our teacher just said "well, they did lose." She actually said "No, we won it when we threw the bomb on Hiroshima."
Less diversity, less natural wealth (agriculturally speaking), less industry, and it's land locked, meaning less ease of access to global markets via oceanic transport.

Both the east and west cost have provided great agricultural wealth due to climate favoriability and nutrient rich soils, are home to many traditionally poorer immigrant cultures and have a greater means for increasing their by using the ocean for trade and transport.
This is something that I'm really quite sad that I missed out on. By the time I was interested in programming enough to understand how this would all work it was a couple of years too late.

I'd say Minecraft is the 'new' version of this kind of thing, though certainly in a different sense - it's actually pretty opposite in some ways (making the gameplay rather than beating it). I'd be interested to see what comes along next.

> they appear to still be a functioning state

As someone who lives in Vietnam, I'd disagree with this statement. It functions at the whim of all of the foreign investment, not of any particular genius on its part.

As for who won what, it's way more nuanced then you are presenting.

The US wasn't really in Vietnam to win anything, but there to stop the North from capturing the South, which it did quite easily until the money dried up. There was a reason the US never went north of the 17th parallel and it wasn't because the North was beating them back. Saigon didn't fall until two years after the US pulled out.

Militarily, the US was maintaining a kill ratio of 134:1 until the pull out. The NVA rarely won a battle in military terms. The Tet Offensive was a failure too, from a military perspective anyways.

I don't personally believe the US should have been here and am anti-war in most circumstances, but growing up in a household with three Vietnam vets (my grandfather served in Saigon for 8 years as a Colonel, my dad, my uncle died in Danang) I'm fairly studied on the situation. I don't think anyone "won", especially after living here for five years. Everyone was a loser imho.

I don't even know if a company necessarily needs to even hire people representative of the people that use their products. Some user testing, focus groups and great analytics to discover how a product might be used elsewhere should be sufficient to make sure a product meets the needs of people elsewhere. If they are doing a good job of meeting those needs then they will be successful. If they don't a competitor can be founded that does better understand and cater to that audience.

TBH, I find it positively weird to concern myself in any way about the identity of the people that make products I use. I am a human being after all and that is most important for the overwhelming majority of product decisions. Gender and body size may also be important depending on the product. For example, the only trait I wish more product designers understood and catered to is my height (I'm 6'5" (196cm)), but it's insane for me to demand a firm to employ someone my height or even design products for me when I'm well past the 99th percentile (I guess that makes me part of that 1%, right?). Accommodating people of my height may not be cost effective for most firms, especially if it raises the price enough to make them less competitive. If I can't use their product, then I won't and hopefully I'll find a product that caters specifically to me or solve my own problem.

I appreciate this sentiment. Correct me if Im wrong but you are implying, if an individual understands how to command something or do a task, they have a realization of how the bigger picture works to some extent. I agree with this from a personal perspective. Are you interviewing individuals/doing this scientifically or is this a personal theory you test when given the opportunity?

I think John Wayne's The Green Berets is possibly the only movie that attempts to portray that particular war as "noble" (and I should add that I only know of that movie by reputation).

Apologies for answering your question with another question - but have their been any movies that were even distributed (let alone produced) in the West that try and given an account of the war from a North Vietnamese viewpoint?
I'm reminded of an article I read in one of Jerry Pournelle's anthologies. It was written by a Vietnamese man who had agitated against the Americans during the Vietnam war.

At one point, he was in jail for resisting the Americans. His father visited him, and asked "What the heck are you doing?" He answered "Fighting against the oppressor Americans!" His father responded "It's true that they're oppressors, but the communists are worse."

He didn't believe his father. When the Americans left, there was a victory parade through Hanoi. Which was composed only of communist regiments. He asked the other people involved in the resistance "Where are all the non-communist regiments, which were the majority of the fighters?" The answer was "On exercises in the country."

It turned out that the communists had infiltrated all of the non-communist resistance groups (of which there were many), and taken them over from the inside.

A few years later, with his life in danger from the communists, he fled Vietnam, became one of the boat people, and immigrated to America.
Free Won't: Why You Shouldn't Take Any Single Thought Too Seriously
This article suggests pinning ones own cert, and perhaps an intermediate up the chain. It seems that even pinning one root cert would be an improvement, because then that specific CA would have to compromised to MITM. As opposed to the situation now, in which compromising any trusted CA can permit MITM.

Do I have that right?

> A flaw in this system is that any compromised root certificate can in turn subvert the entire identity model. If I steal the Crap Authority's private key and your browser trusts their certificate, I can forge valid certificates for any website.

You don't have to compromise the root. This could still happen if a trusted intermediate CA's private key is compromised, because that CA's certificate was signed by the CA in the chain of trust that ultimately terminates with a trusted root.

I am not sure I agree. According to what I heard, the western leaders didn't know what was going on when Gorbachev let the Berlin wall to fall. Sure the U.S. built lot of weapons, but calling it a strategic victory.. you could then call peace a military victory as well.

I think it is crucial to understand the motivations and principles of the people involved, in order to shed more insight unto the matter.

Regardless of the political overhead, from my personal experience the vast majority of the Vietnamese people at the time, already being Spartan like in certain manners and living in times of turmoil, saw the 'war of Resistance against America' (as the Vietnam War is called in VN)as the continuation of resistance against foreign superpowers, dating back thousands of years.

The US, after, Japan, France, the Mongols, China was seen as yet another invader in a long line, albeit arguably the one with the most overwhelming strength.

The average North Vietnamese person did not care about Communism, Capitalism, Political theories or world politics.
They only cared about them in so far how they could help them achieve their goal: To be free! Sovereign in their own land.

This mindset coupled with the history of Vietnam is important to understand where the dermination of these units came from. Yes, the US military would 'win', as in being the last party to remain with living soldiers in an all out war until the very end no discussions, hands down. That is because, similar to the Japanese the morals of these Vietnamese guerilla peasants fighting would fight till the end.

In that regard, especially when seeing discussions here and mostly on reddit going back and forth about who 'won' the war, people forget that they might talk with completely different defnitions of winning in mind. (Or they are just American kiddos that cannot accept their great US ever loosing ever.)

It is a great tragedy in the end, because in the end, absurdly in a certain way, both sides fought for the same thing: Freedom.

The US won the battle, but lost the war.
Incidentally, I don’t know why I can write
let (mut word, mut len, mut ones) = (0u32, 0, 0);
but not
(word, len, ones) = (0, 0, 0);

Marking variable declarations with let is a good thing and makes it clear if something is an assignment or a variable declaration. It also leads to cleaner code when you use nested functions (I always hated the "nonlocal" keyword in Python)
I was surprised to see a lack of emphasis in this post on philosophical education, which has a great emphasis on logic. To me, it is a keystone of programming.

> just like no single entity really controls Bitcoin.

That's just not true. The core developers do control it. Look at the problems its having with the blockchain limit. Yes in theory anyone can fork it and people can run the fork, but that theory has now been tested and it failed.

Similarly, if ZeroCash took off, the "official" devs would be the ones to control it. And they're a for profit company on top of it. I can't think of a worse idea than that. A commodity "currency" that is controlled entirely by a for profit company.
This is a problem in Haskell as well, from everything I've read.
Your comment reads like an argument for leaders to trust instinct more than reason.
From a quick look at the code it seems to be coded as a fairly standard particle system. Modern processors are fast, if you have a million particles, a 2GHz processor, and do 20 simulation steps per second you can spend 100 clock cycles per particle on simulating it. On modern processors 100 clock cycles usually translates to over 100 instructions.

Of course the ~100 clock cycles latency for fetching from main memory has to be avoided, so you code in a language like c++ (like this project) and pack your data in big arrays in the order it's accessed in. Then processor caches and prefetching do the magic.

Particle interactions that usually imply quadratic runtime can be made fast by mapping particle positions to a grid and either looking up neighbouring particles in the grid or calculating large scale effects directly with the grid.

Personally, I think for this project the working whole and the value it provides as a fun educational tool is a bigger deal than architectural or development ideas that went into it (but I'm happy to be proven wrong)

Vietnam was the first modern asymmetric war. Overwhelming military superiority simply did not translate into victory, and short of total genocide it could have never been otherwise. It is a shame that all those lessons were so easily "unlearnt" after a single successful campaign (Kuwait), resulting in the mess that were (and are) Iraq and Afghanistan today.

It's weird: on one side, killing more people than your adversaries is not as important as it once was, but this means that conflicts are now harder to solve on the battlefield, so they tend to be longer and more bloody than before.

If you pin to a root CA you're vulnerable to MITM if an intermediate CA that has the root in its chain of trust is compromised. Because that compromised CA would be able to sign a cert for an arbitrary domain while still satisfying your pinning directives.

By pinning to a public key you're saying "is this public key in this certificate's chain of trust?". Pinning to a root you have the most flexibility but the least amount of protection against MITM.
I used to spend a huge amount of my commute frustrated, tailing someone in the left lane, trying to pass. One day, it really "clicked" that the behavior was totally unproductive. However, I didn't want to just passively accept the traffic status quo. Instead, I opted for what I call my "slow drive":

1. Always drive in the right lane;

2. Always make sure the car ahead is slowly pulling away;

3. Always make sure there is space on my left for someone to pass me on the left.

The 3rd rule is the hardest, and I will admit to some dickish behavior to stop other drivers from pacing me "on the left", or (worse) in my blind spot---mostly by very tightly hugging the center line, or by turning on my blinker and slowly moving into the left lane.

As a practical nuts-and-bolts, I'm averaging about 5mph less than I used to, but a wash on total commute times---I'm usually at the front of lights, and jackrabbit to clear the intersection.

My favorite part is seeing dozens of cars passing on the left at high speed, while (on one occasion) more than a dozen cars were very slowly plodding behind me.

I'm certain there were angry people trying to turn right but, considering I'm going as much as 15mph below the posted limit, a little forethought would have them passing me---it is this very thoughtlessness that I'm targeting.

There also a lot of rural one lane highways out where I'm at. For these, I go the posted limit; if I'm being tailed I pull over & yield the right of way.

My commute, while still irritating and long, is much more pleasant.
Thanks for this bit, very interesting!

This shows how even though difficult, it is very important to keep in mind that conflicts like these are most of the time very multidimensional.

'The communists' might be the ones that surfaced at the end of the war as leaders of the new country, yet the vast majority of the battle was fought on the shoulders of young men and women believing in fighting for their independence.

They probably didn't give two cents about communism.
While I really like the video, it's not quite what I'm looking for.

I'd be interested in an attempt to take these simple ideas: credit, debt, etc and created a simple model that shows how credit leads to cycles, where I can play with parameters and see exactly what affacts what.

For example, why cycles? Why should credit across multiple people synchronize into cycles? why not just average out? Exactly what assumptions go into this?
