Not specific to Gandhi, but I prefer to accept the fact that bad people can accomplish good things worth remembering. And that's OK.

And equally, good people can be vilified for choosing the best of two bad options.

Muhammed was from Mecca so I’m not sure about that.
Ah. Yeah applying resource limitations outside of memory usage is always a bit awkward. The only really supported way to my knowledge is to externally set a hook and trigger an error when called: https://github.com/lua/lua/blob/master/lua.c#L40-L59. I think this doesn't always work in tight loops though.

I remember patching Lua over 10 years ago for a programming game. I essentially counted VM instructions and stopped executing when reaching the limit. It survived malicious players on a hacker conference back then ;-)

The probably badly aged code is still available here: https://github.com/dividuum/infon/blob/c25eb749b17df3fd9b7a5...
Super rad feedback, definitely merit in being more direct to drive home the point of the site.

Although I can edit the post, I dont think I can edit the post from text post to link post, but also good feedback for next time.

I made this game because I believe theres a way where people can have fun while learning information that broadens their world view. IMO humans are better when we go through exercises that cause us to consider how big the world is and all of the people in it.

I share some of your pain. We use Lua 5.1 on our embedded platform and at one point did development on 5.2.

There's a lot of (seemingly) undocumented changes, even between two minor versions that make you question the semver (and your sanity) at times.

For example, the patterns operate just different enough between the two minors, that I had to resort to dumping everything into JSON and back since that was the only way that one odd case worked similarly between the two versions (albeit sharing the same JSON library).

In regards to the new version, coworker of mine glanced at the 5.4 changelog and could not make out how things had changed, only the fact that they had been changed.
Random imagined example: Two files with different names being created in the same directory. The race decides which one gets which inode number, but both are created correctly and successfully. That would be a race condition, but as long as only the assignment of inode numbers changes between outcomes of the race nobody would care. But again, this is just a contrived example.
Most food related research is this terribly done - and of course the research that supports strong ideologies with a growing follower base reach the top.

If Iran murdered an Iranian citizen in their own embassy in third country? No response at all except a shake of the head?

Iran regularly kidnaps dual citizens when they come to Iran and hold them without formal charges, and many disappear/die. The only reason this is a story is because we theoretically hold Saudi Arabia to a higher standard than Iran in the first place.
Er, no. Public transport usually increases the price of land, and the rest of your post is just a bizarre totalitarian rant.

Sadly, China has already wasted too much money on the so called high speed rails running at 300-350km per hour.

I was looking at my HSR options from Shanghai to Xi'an (1,500km distance) yesterday, the fastest train takes almost 6 hours and there is only one everyday. That 6 hours ride costs me almost $100 USD while $120 USD can covers my flight to Xi'an in 2.5 hours and I can choose the time of my flight. $20 extra to save 3.5 hours - the maths here is not hard.
I’m not sure if it’s just lost in translation, but Wuhan to Guangzhou isn’t even 1000 km so I don’t know where they get the 2200 km they’re quoting. That’s likely a figure for GZ to Beijing.

I have used the high speed line between Wuhan and GZ (and through to HK) several times. It’s currently a 4.5 hour direct journey (once per day) or a 5 hour journey if you change at GZ or Shenzhen. The HSR is 300ish km/h at the moment and that route stops about 4-5 times along the way, off memory.

Aside, I also don’t know how much benefit 1000 km/h travel would bring. That’s an enormous energy requirement to accelerate up to such a speed only to stop 4-5 times along the way. 600 km/h would likely be much more realistic, because if you shorten the duration too much you run into the wall of needing to accel/decel constantly to make the stops.

Lastly, the HSR there is already capable of 350 km/h at least, but they limited it to 300 km/h after a massive derailment that caused a heap of fatalities years ago and never increased it back up again. It may be reading into it too much, but it may also be telling that they didn’t see the benefit of upping the top speed again even when considering the loss of face.

The original essay on Medium quoted him as saying that it was "most plausible" that the girl would have presented herself to Minsky as "entirely willing".

No basis is offered for why we should think this is "most plausible", except that Stallman likes Minsky and does not think it plausible that he did a bad thing.

There are some summaries which misrepresent what he said, but what he actually said was definitely something people could reasonably object to, especially given the longer context of him saying crazy stuff on related topics before.
Which country? It highly depends. More veggie friendly: Germany, Sweden, UK. Less veggie friendly: Denmark, France. And then it depends on the region.

Python may be terrible, but this poster doesn't know Python at all. Here's how to fix the first snippet:

leaf = object()

Huh, that's funny, it's shorter than the Haskell? Why is that? Let's keep going.

def merge(lhs, rhs):
if lhs is leaf: return rhs
if rhs is leaf: return lhs
if lhs[0] <= rhs[0]: return lhs[0], merge(rhs, lhs[2]), lhs[1]
return rhs[0], merge(lhs, rhs[2]), rhs[1]

Ugh. My mouth tastes funny. Livecoding on this site is always disorienting. I need to sit down for a bit. Exercise for the reader: Continue on in this style and figure out whether the Haskell really deserves its reputation for terseness and directness.

Edit: I kept reading and was immediately sick. __dict__ abuse is a real problem in our society, folks. It's not okay.

def insert(tree, elt): return merge(tree, (elt, leaf, leaf))

The Haskell memes are growing stronger as I delve deeper into this jungle. The pop-minimum function here is a true abomination, breaking all SOLID principles at once. I can only imagine what it might look like in a less eldritch setting:

def popMin(tree):
if tree is leaf: raise IndexError("popMin from leaf")
return tree[0], merge(tree[1], tree[2])

We continue to clean up the monstrous camp.

def listToHeap(elts):
rv = leaf
for elt in elts:
rv = insert(rv, elt)
return rv

The monster...they knew! They could have done something better and chose not to. They left notes suggesting an alternative implementation:

def listToHeap(elts): return reduce(insert, elts, leaf)

Similarly, if we look before we leap:

def heapToList(tree):
rv = []
while tree is not leaf:
datum, tree = popMin(tree)
rv.append(datum)
return rv

And again, the monster left plans, using one of the forbidden tools. We will shun the forbidden tools even here and now. We will instead remind folks that Hypothesis [0] is a thing.

Haskell's an alright language. Python's an alright language. They're about the same age. If one is going to write good Haskell, one might as well write good Python, too.

I would say this is probably a slight overstatement of the situation in the US. In California and New York it has been very easy for a decade, but the midwest (St. Louis, Lawrence, Omaha) has only recently become nearly as easy as the coasts within--my perception is--the last three years.

However, I agree with the overall point of your comment. The US is comparatively much easier overall than Europe is, and the quality of the restaurant options in the US has improved quite rapidly over the past 5 years.

Edit: I would note this really only applies to western cuisine options. Indian and Thai food have been widely available for quite some time and have a lot of vegetarian options.
I disagree. Look at the difference in documentation for Haskells Amazonka versus Clojures Amazonica. There are no simple code examples to get you going. Took me forever as a Haskell newbie to get DynamoDb integration working. In Clojure I just copy an example and play with it

Read a stat from one of the industry trade bodies that vegan takeaway order volume in the UK grew over 300% last year.

I feel as though I’m one of the few people who doesn’t mind that billionaires exist. A very large amount of money is going to be used to influence society somehow: this will either be done by these wealthy individuals, or by the government. I don’t see that one group is currently doing a better job than the other honestly (although I wonder if Bill Gates’ efforts to eradicate disease around the world would have ever been done separately by a government if he hadn’t taken the initiative).

I also feel like the administrative overheard of government loses a huge amount of money in its inefficiencies. Sure, some billionaires waste money on fancy houses and cars but I think that tiny sum pales in comparison to all of the tax dollars that are wasted. Every time I walk around San Francisco I’m reminded of how inefficient the process of translating tax dollars into something useful for society is.

If an individual really wants to improve something negative in the world, becoming a billionaire is one of the very few ways to do it. Ostensibly, a government official should be representing the will of the people, so if you feel that a goal like curing cancer is much higher up the priority list than talking about gun control, it makes more sense to try to become a billionaire and just fund this research directly rather the misrepresenting the priorities of your voters.

To be clear, I am not advocating that billionaires should have more influence on society’s laws than the average person; however, if a handful of people in the world want to spend a large amount of money on AI research, curing disease, or developing solutions to climate change, that doesn’t bother me in the slightest.

From Big Brother to Big Agency – My Journey to $200k/Month
You said you got unconditional love from your kid. Unconditional means that you could replace yourself with any other person and it would have worked out the same. I don't think that is true, lots of parents don't get that benefit. Love from your kids is something you earn through hard work as a parent and not just something you get unconditionally. It is mostly true for dogs though, I agree.
Objects of Consciousness
1. Manage Up: no matter your level, there's someone you're going to report to or be accountable to. Get to know them, their function and focus areas, expectations, how they operation and how they judge value and success.

2. Network: regardless of the size of your organization, make a list of people you want to meet across different groups/departments. Make it a point to schedule 1:1 time to get to know them. Much like the guidance in Pt 1 above, get to know what they do, how they operate, what they value and how they judge value and success. Ask them about where they need help and if they see opportunities for you to help in your new role. And always ask them for referrals to other people you should meet next.

3. Regular Review Intervals: do this first for yourself, and try to establish a more regular progress and planning session with your boss. Quarterly is good to keep this somewhat informal as it will be outside regular performance review cycles, but regular enough to ensure timeliness and value. It's also important for your own sanity to keep a realistic view on how things are going and whether they map to your personal needs and plan. We all get bogged down in the day to day BS, so this forces a time to reflect and put things in perspective.

4. Plan A Vacation: whether you have something booked or not, block a vacation for sometime in the next 6-9 months. It's easy to get approvals when you're starting out, if you need that, and it gives you a purpose to find something meaningful to fill that block of time so you have something to look forward to.
> I do not like the fact that cow, chicken, pig, dog, have to die for my tastebuds to feel nice.

Not only do they have to die, they also have to live. If everyone went vegan, those animals would never have existed.

If the standards of living for the average farm animal were really good, would that be worse than them having never existed?

Agreed. They've been educated about history and understand what's at stake. I wish the rest of democratic societies would already be taking a strong stand with them.

> The fact that a 80% remain parliment is supposed to represent a 52% leave population is ridiculous.

Come on now. 544/650 MP ran for a party that had Leave as a Manifesto promise in the 2017 GE.

Yes individual MP could disagree with their party and defy the whip, but that is an overwhelming cross-party majority in favour of leaving.

In comparison, no party ran with a "Remain" outright manifesto, rather with a "Let run the deal against Remain" in a confirmation referendum. Only in the last weeks, Labour has sided with the confirmation referendum, and rejected last week to campaign for remain in that referendum.

> The fact that the supreme court were permitted to make walking away from the negotiation table illegal

That's nonsense. The supreme judged the suspension of Parliament by the PM illegal. It is loosely related to No Deal.

> thereby making it not a negotiation but a discussion of the UK's servitude from this point onward, is a disgrace.
> Your discussing the terms of your slavery.

That's appeal to emotion territory here.

International negotiation like leaving the EU do not have the information asymmetry where leaving the table is a real asset. As advanced economies, the threat of instability or uncertainty is enough to keep both the EU and UK in search of a win-win agreement. In addition, the UK is an important contributor to the EU budget and the USA would only too happy to step in, so it is clearly in a position of strenght ... relative to its geopolical and economic size. A good deal is achievable, just not the cakist deal that was promised.
They are not harvesting from falun gong people specifically, or probably not even coincidentally (organs from a bunch of older cult members with health problems are probably not very appealing). However, they are still harvesting from condemned prisoners, despite promising not to multiple times in the past. This in itself is really bad, but falan gong tends to be being discredibilty to an otherwise credible problem.
Veganism is often a moral/ethical stance rather than a dietary restriction. It's not a food preference, it's a worldview. So this can be an attempt to attract attention to the movement and normalize it.

This smells like you are being set up to take the fall for something. Possibly something with really serious personal legal consequences.
