WASM would just make everything more complicated for no good reason. You can't do JIT-compilation on the consoles or iOS, so it's not going be performing any better than a simple interpreter.

If you go the interpreter scripting route, what you really want is trivial and comfortable binding to native (engine) code. You likely want your engine functions to be intrinsics in the VM.

Otherwise, you'll want to go the AOT compiled scripting route, which offers better performance. Then you just do the "scripting" in C++ (UE4) or C# (Unity).

One thing of note: when we consider security tools / training, monthly is not the right frame of reference. It's either brought back to a daily expense (i.e. how does it compare in my daily costing vs. billed revenue per day), or annually, compared to an insurance premium. I know ho much my cyber liability insurance costs me and it's easier to compare on a yearly basis. FWIW, it would be an instant buy for us at 199 per year. Above this, it'll fall in the budget security bucket and under comparison with others.
Shepherding is when some behavior is encouraged by being made easy/rewarded, or by other behavior being made harder/punished. So shepherding absolutely happens in every aspect of life - systems move toward low energy states, water flows downhill and living creatures tend to follow the path of least resistance. When parents do it, we call it parenting. When governments or companies do it (via taxes/subsidies or pricing), we call it nudging. When groups do it, we call it socialization.

It's a really useful tool to analyze systems and organizations with - not by looking at what they make possible, but also by what they encourage and discourage - most of the time, the latter are what really matter (the average case is usually what determines the long-term impact of something, not the best or the worst case). When Netflix has auto-play at the end of a stream, they shepherd you toward binging. When Animal Crossing has things you need to wait wall-clock time for, they encourage you not to binge. When free-to-play games come with loot boxes, they don't force you to do anything, but they might still be shepherding gambling-like behavior.

Does it? I don't agree, I think this is a matter of what you're adapted to.

I think it also depends on what you view as "healthy". I don't see the processed foods advertised as "low fat" or "low sugar" or whatever as the "healthy foods", for me a healthy diet consists of fruits & veggies, nuts & seeds, starchy foods, and a small amount of meat & diary products. Everything else you can do without basically. Except chocolate of course :) Once adapted, "non-healthy" processed stuff will taste awfully dirty.

In Speccy Basic a GOTO jumped to a line number, so if you added code in that changed your numbering the GOTO broke. That was managed by using numbers that left space (10, 20, and so on), but it was still horrible in a big program. Another issue was that you couldn't go back (that's what gosub was for). They also made code hard to follow because the execution jumped around all over the place, but that was less of a problem.

These days languages that have GOTO usually jump to a label so it's not quite as bad. They're still likely to end up as spaghetti though.

People often mock gluten free labeling for products that should either be obviously gluten free or are not food. But the range of gluten sensitivity does vary, and there are people who react to gluten in cosmetics (where it can be added). There are also cases where gluten is added to food where it would not be expected.

If you are gluten free because you can't tolerate gluten, that labeling is very helpful.

Gluten free does not escape a negative reputation. There are many people who follow a gluten free diet because it's somewhat of a fad, and there are many others who, as a result, don't take it seriously.

As someone who is gluten free because I can't tolerate gluten, I would add that, for those who don't have that issue, gluten free food is not always the healthiest choice. In particular, gluten free baking is tricky, and gluten free baked goods are generally much higher in sugar.

It’s interesting you bring up feeling, as that plays a huge role in memory. I’ve often wondered if an autistic person has vivid memory, or if it is more of a factual record of past events. This device may then indirectly affect memory of the autistic as well.
The case fatality rate for 20 to 30 year olds is somewhere between 1 and 200 and 1 in 400. This population is one of the the least susceptible and the chance of death is roughly the same as doing 5 to 10 BASE jumps.

The economic harm arguments assume that the economic harm of the pandemic is confined to government imposed restrictions. When going to the movies carries the same risk as the most extreme sports it is reasonable to expect that most people are going to self isolate.

Of course given the lag it is possible given the growth curve that people could blindly find themselves jumping off a metaphorical cliff. At the same time I’d suggest that the significant amount of trauma the survivors would face would have significant repercussions for the economy.

A perfect example of Stroustrup's Rule.

* For established features, people want terse notation.

A question mark is concise, but it's just as explicit. The risk of people glossing over it isn't much worse, and avoiding tons of repeated keywords has benefits to comprehension.

It's not "blindly" predicting exponential growth. Epidemics grow exponentially, for very concrete and well understood reasons. There are a number of people making fun of or playing down that fact here, which is incredibly foolish. We're facing a serious epidemic, and we ignore basic epidemiology at our own peril.

> If you've got a real prediction, why don't you say it?

The doubling time of the number of infected people will continue to be about three days, until strenuous social distancing measures are implemented (or in the worst case, herd immunity is reached). The rate of newly detected cases will begin to bend downwards about 1-2 weeks after the introduction of such measures, due to the delay between infection and onset of symptoms.

> And you moved the goal posts from "deaths" to "infected".

The number of deaths is proportional to the number of people infected.

I actually disagree with this. As long as `Foo?` is checked by the compiler, I think are almost identical in use. It doesn't matter if you don't notice the `?` if it's a compile error to miss the null check.
They do do that, if I understand correctly.

> I'm hoping the technology will advance enough so that we eventually get one language that can navigate both side of the spectrum.

Me too! I'd love a language at the JavaScript/Python/PHP/Perl level, but in a Swift/Rust style. Possibly with some kind of gradual typing. TypeScript is pretty close to this, but alas its type system isn't sound. And it has to deal with the legacy of JS semantics (like exceptions).
Supporting postfix operators, extension methods, etc. is different from monkey patching. Scala has "2 days ago" conversion to Duration type via implicits, but it doesn't monkey patches Integer for that. C# has extension methods and it can do the same without monkey patching.

And monkey patching is not necessarily the end of the world, it's just error prone if multiple libs try to do it (on the same targets) without being careful.
They will share the same reference count. In fact you can make two shared_ptrs to arbitrary types share the same reference count (although in this case there is no implicit conversion and you need to use the explicit aliasing constructor); it is useful for interior pointers for example.

Yes. If I get all the medical care I need, then I have only an 0.15% chance of dying. (Well, more than that, because I'm male, and our numbers are twice as bad.)

But I have a 4.9% chance of being hospitalized, which generally means supplemental oxygen and an IV. And if we let this disease just burn through the population, then my state would be looking at something like 13,000 hospitalizations for 700 beds. And the numbers get much worse for older people.

Personally, I could live with an 0.15% chance of death. But a 4.9% chance of getting stuck in a field triage hospital with inadequate care, struggling to breathe? Not so much. And what about my older relatives?

Of the course they won’t, but it shows clearly how flawed they demands and arguments are.

2. Yes, people are free to create brew taps. But you know humans are divided into 'I will do this' and 'I wont do this'

3. There are there roles: [software developer], [package maintainer], [user].

3. Most cases, [the software developer] is not the [package maintainer]. The software developer only push code, test code , build code. Like we know, build binary is a step of the software developer, but they don't like to create much more packages with apt-get/brew/pacman/etc, so many packages in the centralized PM are outdate. Examples are endless.

4. [User] is people who using software, they like less concepts thing. They just a user, not developer, not maintainer.

The entire stock market itself is parasitic to society, for that matter, so I don't really see any difference. As far as I see, the entire point of it is that there are these larger parasites (hedge funds, high-frequency traders, billionaires with inside info), and the point for small individuals is to figure out how to game it and pocket some of the money with out-of-the-box thinking.

If we wanted stock markets to not be parasitic, we'd establish rules around certain things. Like when a company does something wrong, its price shouldn't be shooting up just because it profited from that wrongdoing. When a company does the right thing, its price shouldn't be plundering down because it lost "earnings" or some other stupid quarterly metric. When a company needs resources to fix a mistake, we shouldn't be taking monetary resources away from them that would be put toward fixing that mistake. Doing the right thing (ethically, environmentally, etc.) should come foremost, and stock prices should be not be determined entirely by shareholders who couldn't care less about ethics. That is parasitic behavior.
