If you're planning to write a RPG as a story, Microscope[0] is very well designed for this. I've been playing it recently across multiple groups, and it shines for the "big-picture" usecase. It is often used as a "bootstrap-your-actual-RPG-campaign" scenario builder. You play with your group for a few sessions, and you end up with a world complete with plothooks, campaigns, motivations, challenges etc.

The expansion set, Microscope Explorer[1], optimizes the rules a little bit for World-building, but that's entirely optional - You can easily go miles with just the standard rules ("Just Play Normally" is part of the expansion here).

Also, random related trivia: Expanse[2], the famous book series that was adapted into the (now) Amazon-run TV series is a RPG game written down. This explains a lot of character actions that are very much player/character driven, and not plot driven.

This way you can have a researcher implementing the algorithm (say bilinear filtering) and a HPC expert who tunes it with parallelism, SIMD, tiling.

Recursively how?
Sure, but none of that rebuts fragmede's point:

"if I have a factory that can make either cookies or cake, and it operates under capitalism, it seems self-evident that I should make cake."

The system has evolutionary pressures towards financial reward. The game companies that make "cake" are rewarded and gain market share and power. The companies that make "cookies" are financially punished and lose market share and wither.

In the system that we have, with the financial systems at play, it's inevitable that you'll get "cakes".

Nah, not that. "in search of words containing fuck" — just not a very mature thing to do.

What physics needs is a revolutionary (not evolutionary like the SSC or the LHC) particle accelerator.

There are promising works with high-powered lasers, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcGgaa2mFc4

But it seems the "spin particles really fast in a very long circular tube" is reaching the end of its life.
This is the right mindset. Language and idioms are important to teaching and learning.

I see people using python to teach/learn something like array iteration and do

for i in range(len(my_list)):
print(my_list[i])

What they have done, is conflated the implementation they think is computer sciencey from learning C, and the essence of list iteration.

Python is a great language for learning about iteration:

for item in my_list:
print(item)

Here it's much closer to the essence of the lesson.

C is good for teaching about array indexing in the loop and exposing how the loop variable is reused:

for ( int i = 0; i < myArraySize; i += 1 ) {
printf("%d\n", myArray[i]);
}

If you're trying to understand something in programming or through programming, there are right languages for the job, and it's a tricky affair.
Author is making a new lambda for each route.

But you can point each route in API Gateway to a different function in the same lambda.

Additionally, using serverless framework facilitate local testing too.

That solves all the complaints from the author.
Lol you first. I for one highly doubt that our brain functions can be accurately reproduced with nand gates.
That sounds unlikely, ligatures are two or more consecutive graphemes graphemes joined into a single glyph, but only visually. The underlying text is unmodified, so as far as the renderer is concerned, the text is still "arsenal".
Spoiler: not.
Yes, it does matter. When you are programming in a language like C++, you want to understand what the compiler generates for a given abstraction.
Something you hate, is something you would like to track and destroy. But it's all the opposite: that's ads which want to track you.

Why does the inspector and copy/paste only show * under the censored areas?
On the contrary, that's how science is made.
People are "interested" to work on things partially due to the fact there is money available to work on those things.
Memes are certainly a fundamental component, but simple mimicry seems like it's an obviously degenerate form of socialization.
Assuming mental disorders exist, sure. But there is also evidence that a sufficiently technocratic government will use psychoactive drugs indiscriminately on its population in order to coerce and control them [0][1][2][3]. We must demonstrate somehow that mental disorders not only exist, but that their classification is due to science, and not due to bigotry and a lack of understanding [4][5].

Your example of SSRIs is an especially poor one, as SSRIs are well-understood to have been developed by the pharmaceutical industry as part of a panpsychic wellness package which is meant to be sold pill-by-pill to the public [6][7]. SSRIs today are like sugar in the past [8], with a corporate army of compensated scientists ready to study the noise and find useful results from harmful chemicals.

> human knowledge is only valuable in so far as it improves the human condition in some way, now or in the future.

We have no idea how it will improve the human condition though. You could have said this to many scientists throughout history. Look at what the (much cheaper) fooling around at Bell Labs got us.
I’m not boycotting Tesla. What I’m saying is that as a prospective customer I am
not reassured that the company won’t just try and pull a load of weird shit on me in the future (either by imploding or screwing me over) and for that reason I can’t commit to them. It’s a great pity because we have to recognise they have essentially created the modern EV space, and I was actually looking forward to adopting their tech.
Assuming that's even possible (how are those simulated brains going? As far as I can tell, we're up to 0.15% of a rat's brain), is a human consciousness separated from its biological construct still a human consciousness?

We're well out of the realm of science into science fiction, but I feel it's a valid question to ask - all of our consciousnesses have developed in ape bodies adapted for the savanna, with a bunch of survival related traits and sub-processes.

If we remove our "selves" from our bodies, are we still us?

The Monty Hall problem is typically not clearly explained with the confounding precondition that the game show host won’t open a door that reveals the prize. Once I understood that there was a bias against one of the doors, the problem became obvious.
Not being able to write is common in Japan. Of course the average adult can write quite a bit but they'll forget how to write various kanji and most people blame it on the fact that they usually they no longer have to write them, they just type the sounds and the computer/smartphone turns it into the correct character.

This is especially funny in a Japanese class where the Chinese students end up correcting the teacher's kanji mistakes. Though, now that computers and smartphones are as common in China as Japan I suspect the same thing will happen in China.

Maybe it's the same thing as forgetting out to spell because we know the device will spell check and correct for us.
But the fact that they didn't display negative prices to customers indicates that they were explicitly ignoring them in a very very bad way. I'm suspecting an abs() function was involved.

I didn’t say that - I said that if your screen is not retina-like, then you have to adjust operating systems that are now developed for retina-like screens.

I have not seen a blurry font on Mac since 2012 - with the exception of legacy programs that don’t use modern libraries, because (again) modern libraries and modern screens simply don’t give you blurry fonts. If you have some legacy tech in your stack, then you have to do some work to compensate.

When I’m in an interview I always end up turning the interview around and interview the the interviewer.

Interviews are a two way street. They want to make sure you suite a role but you also need to make sure the role is suitable for you, you are going to enjoy it and get something from it. I go in with the mental view they need to sell the job to me.

Doing consultancy I’ve been at many companies, some great some bad. I go straight to the questions trying to dig up as many warts as possible to figure out what I’m letting myself in for as I’ve seen how much different companies can differ.

Why do you use the tech stack / tools you do?

How do you manage work, do you do scrum/Kanban/x/y/z. How’s your backlog? What are the upcoming releases, are they on schedule? Who manages features, who and how is the product owner?

How’s the team?

What’s been your favourite part of your job so far?

How’s the business make money? How much funding do they have and what happens when that runs out? How’s the current projections will my job be here in 12 months?

Why are you recruiting for this role? How is staff turnover?

Any bad things I should know?

Here are some screenshots of RISC OS 3, including the anti-aliased fonts [1].

In 1992, on a 640x480 CRT, fonts rendered on RISC OS were excellent. Losing this when I switched to Windows around 1995 was a big step backwards.

It does appear to strip cookies, and either some or all of Google's JS, depending the config. So, Google wouldn't see your client IP, any cookies, etc. Perhaps not fully private, but they do seem to provide better privacy.
So an unfortunate reality of the world today is that sometimes you need an image for a post that doesn't need a photograph, if only for better exposure with embeds. This is great for that. It's also great for posting code on Twitter.

I see a lot of people complaining about not being able to copy-paste code. That's a legitimate issue. As chrisma0 pointed out, the URLs can have a one-to-one correspondence with gists, so in blog posts you can just link directly to gists with little loss of convenience. Also note that it seems to use Twitter's alt text correctly at least.

An even better option would be to use a steganographic technique like pico-8 carts do to embed the text and then use an extension (or oembed or something) to surface that where appropriate.

I wonder if this is the majority view? I hear it often but it's not something I feel (disclosure: I have one child).

I certainly think in terms of leaving the world better for all living things rather than for my children (although I guess they would benefit).

I personally feel shame that I am a part of the destruction of this world which in turn motivates me to want to make it better.

This is something that has grown as I have aged, I feel now that I'm older I can see things in the longer term and I can see how long it takes to make change and make it stick.

> gaps of detail one has leapt across without even noticing. Programming tends to reveal those

Agree. As a hobbyist coder I try where possible to do some conceptual thinking by writing out in English my high-level solution approach, and then start coding, fully expecting to uncover some details I hadn't anticipated in advance. I try to avoid diving right in with a hack. But sometimes I find it useful to start with a quick-and-dirty implementation, especially if I'm learning a new tool or language.
My advice about safety and speed is and stays: the language you know best is the language that will give you most of both.
If you find that your skills and career make it unfeasible to find much realisation, then probably your best strategy is making work "just work" - there's a tendency to lying to oneself in this industry. The vast majority of developers are doing the equivalent of assembly line plumbing with a lot of delusions on top. This will hit sooner or later if you are not stupid.
My first experience with this kind of brute force solver for a problem that isn't really a problem was actually 'wristwatch', not 'scunthorpe'. This was in the very early 1990's, and on a BBS, not an Internet-based system.

But I gather Scunthorpe was the first widely reported example.

For those unfamiliar with it, Deno is a new project by Node's original creator R. Dahl. While Node has grown in use and size, there are underlying issues that are very hard to address without a massive overhaul, and to turn those issues around, Node → Deno was born.

The core features Deno promises to bring are sandboxing out-of-the-box, built in Typescript support, standard modules, etc. Personally, I haven't tried Deno out, but I'm very much looking forward to it. Anyone who's ever built a production application with Node will be familiar with its shortcomings. There are of course community-driven solutions to overcome many of them, but they are still bandaids over underlying issues. Hopefully Deno can address at least some of them.

The official webpage [1] offers some API examples and relevant information as well.

You’re absolutely right, and those projects were absolutely worth the cost to society in retrospect. It’s why I’m generally in favor of exploratory research.

I don’t have much of an opinion one way or the other about building another particle accelerator: the costs are significant, but manageable, and I haven’t followed the science enough to get a good idea of the likely benefit.

The question posed, however, was whether the cost could ever be too high. The only answer to that question is “yes,” regardless of the topic.
Would you sacrifice all humanity for that knowledge? Since I’m guessing your answer is “no”, then there’s obviously a maximum price (even if my bound is ridiculously off)
CGP Grey did a video about the importance of having different spaces for different activities¹, and in one of the comments for the video², one Vallejo B. said that they have handled the lack of physical space by using tricks to fool the mind into thinking it is a different space, using different lighting, sounds, tastes for different modes. Like stage set design, a simple difference goes a long way, and as long your own brain is fooled, it works.

As I'm evaluating the other way, I'd be curious if you see any major advantages of Kinesis over Kafka.

I'm not wedded to one or the other, just interested, as I said in another comment, I'm looking at Kinesis from a cost engineering basis alone, but if there's something I've overlooked, would be keen to know :)

My point is that it's not "obvious bad stuff", and the continued presumption that it is is probably the reason why so little progress has been made in the field.

Even that passage of the article you quote doesn't characterise the genes as "bad stuff"; just known genes that seem to correlate with the (contextually undesirable) conditions manifesting.

I recently got a new "Microsoft Ergonomic Desktop" keyboard. It has a the "Office key" which if you press launches an ad to buy Microsoft Office. AFAICT there is no official way to disable it!!! and at least for me it was easy to hit by mistake.

Apple isn't as bad but I run into ads for Apple Music on my iPhone unintentionally in a similar fashion. Meaning have no intent of ever subscribing to Apple Music but Apple has designed the UX so that users are likely to hit the ad to sign up from time to time.

I take it they're speaking generally, as that covers all languages: map something to data, take that data and do something to it, map it back out to something a human or computer wants.
I follow those 3 steps:

1. Buy LTSC license from sketchy resellers on eBay (I found out it's usually the same Vietnamese guy with 100 of different usernames)

2. Install Windows LTSC

3. Enable Windows Store in LTSC by this repo - https://github.com/11lein/LTSC-Add-MicrosoftStore (it's a fork of some other repo that doesn't work for me that much)

LTSC is available to buy legally too, but it costs around 300$... all the "bulk resellers" are kind of sketchy. But hey it usually works.
Your four-year-old daughter assuming that the norm is the only way to do something is her jumping to conclusions, not a mark against society. It is ok for children to jump to conclusions. Girls do generally marry boys, as >90% of sexuality is heterosexuality. Children are wrong all the time. This is only a problem if you don't correct her misconceptions. Your child growing up the way you think is right and proper is 100% your responsibility – not Netflix and Disney's. Likewise, if she grows up thinking that girls shouldn't be programmers, that is on you.

> Affirmative action is useless if people's minds are already fully constructed by the time those programs take effect.

This is exactly my (and, funnily enough, Damore's) point. Affirmative action / quotas are a bandaid that does not solve the problem and can actually make it worse by encouraging resentment (from non-affirmed groups) and increasing self-doubt (among affirmed groups). The solution is to treat individuals as individuals and not look at their race, sex, religion, etc. The only way to move forward as a society in the long-term is to truly look past any groups a person belongs to and see them as an individual. Continuing to lump people into groups and make decisions based of those groups has the opposite effect and will only hurt us in the long run.

It's interesting to note that human brain size is a result of a mutation that severely weakened our bite strength, as the jaw muscles no longer extend to the top of the skull (as it does in other great apes), limiting it's size.
