Briefly, this. Condolences to Mr. Graeber's family.
I think the key behind simulation is that it's dynamic. The way the coin box bounces up and down in Super Mario doesn't change in a dynamic way. Once triggered it goes through a predetermined motion.

This is unlike say the turtle shells which bounce around depending on what it hits. Its motion is dynamic and dictated by what the player did and the environment it's in.

The distinction between animation and simulation can be a bit fuzzy, but for me an animation is typically a predetermined motion while simulation is dynamic and reactive. However, especially in modern games, animation is blended with simulation to increase realism making this distinction less clear, see for example https://youtu.be/yTniZCOCY7o

So coming back to Noita, think of every 1x1 sprite in the game world as a Super Mario turtle. They can change state and motion in a dynamic and reactive way.
But that is a broken window fallacy. It would be better for everyone if those who have a lot of wealth invest in useful projects.

Yes, you need to learn the BEAM VM which makes it not easy to learn. It still might be worth it, but now you need to understand Elixir, Erlang, BEAM - additionally to your OS's API.

All I can offer are anecdotes but I've worked at one company with a sizeable rabbitmq cluster where we were fortunate enough to have a guy in a different team who was a BEAM maintainer in his free time. He was the only one able to debug issues (mostly around unexpected memory usage).

At another place, we had some in house elixir services. Developers were very happy and productive with it, but we also ran into unexpected memory usage and crashes due to that and to the day their root cause are unclear, even after adding detailed telemetry to monitor process counts and memory profiles.

I guess I have a general issue with VM based languages, but that might be due to the fact that I spend more time debugging issues than writing software and I appreciate the common libc/syscall api used in VM-less languages.
The fact is that our democracies are not equipped to repel torturers and tyrants. The mainstream media, oriented as it is around broadcasting without nuance, has no way to reflectively consider itself.

And the consequences are stark. We put people on trial for any attempt to reform the system. Murray's blog covers the attempted railroading of Alex Salmond, and Murry himself was investigated and legally attacked by the state simply for not taking the state's side.
So why this over a delta (flying wing) shape?

It might be ironic, but overall I think it's fine that it wasn't written in Electron.

For a user-specific application like a player, I would rather use a desktop app developed exclusively for a specific OS or set of OSes that works well with those. There are millions of Mac apps that have no equivalent on Linux, so I'm glad to see a developer focusing exclusively on Linux.

Electron for cross-platform apps works well when you are going to be forced into using it as a web client anyway due to proprietary platform lock-in, e.g. Slack.

As a result, the routing system stopped accepting new calls, leading to a bottleneck and a series of cascading failures elsewhere in the 911 infrastructure.

Or make an announcement before starting manuevers. Have a place people could move into. Just spitballing.
I'll take Elixir's macros and metaprogramming over Java's solution: annotations. With macros you can easily find and examine what it's doing.

But annotations are just tags that do nothing, and god knows where the code that actually does anything as a result of them resides.

Can someone explain the reasoning for using a HAMT here? I have played around with hashtables quite a bit, but altough HAMT's are cool and a lot more memory efficient, they are likely not faster and will at some point suffer from more severe memory fragmentation than hashtables.

Is the concern speed or memory? Because speed would kind of seem strange, since after changing to the new architecture, they should see a strong decrease in messages being exchanged anyways, right?

Or are go's maps inefficient? Genuinely curious

I think it corresponds to the number of non-native speakers. English speakers are used to hearing people from every corner of the globe speak our language, so we are pretty unfazed by an accent. Danes - like, I think, most speakers of languages that remain largely isolated to their land of origin, have no such exposure - and thus tolerance - to accented speech.

The best possible model would also be able to identify the relationships between all the people involved in all contexts.

The philosophical question is whether there's more to semantics than a certain set of standard paths through a large set of textual relationships.

The answer is "Almost certainly", but not necessarily in all contexts - which means that in fact mechanical representations are already good enough for some contexts, although still with a relatively poor hit rate.

Playwright and Puppeteer – Intercept Request and Response
I agree with the first sentence.

But I don't think it's intuitive to learn about complex numbers through GA. Complex numbers are a great jumping-off point to learn GA since it is simple and most people eventually accept that the imaginary unit squares to -1, and because complex numbers have a striking geometric interpretation.

But I feel almost certain that people should learn about the special case of complex numbers before they ever learn about geometric algebra.

Couple of other solid responses here, but going to add my own -

GenServer is immaterial - it's the single process that can be a bottleneck. Just like a single thread can be in other languages. If you need multiple threads in other languages, you'll need multiple processes in Erlang. The nice thing here being the cost of spinning up more (even one per request) is negligible, the syntax is trivial, and the error model in the event something goes wrong is powerful, whereas threads in other languages are so heavy weight you have to size the pool, they can be complicated to work with, and if things go wrong your error handling options tend to be limited.

Use ETS in the places you'd use in memory caching. That's it. That's what it's meant for. If you need distributed consistency, it's not the right answer. If you need a single source of truth, it's not the right answer. But if you need a local cache, that does not require strong consistency(and that's very, very common in distributed systems), it works great.
When I see passages like that quoted below, I wonder if the authors are falling for the economist's fallacy, assuming that objective, quantifiable, repeatable measures are ipso facto measuring what they want to measure. I have not seen anything in this paper persuading me that understanding is a consequence of compression, rather than vice-versa.

A weakness of the Turing test (Turing, 1950) is that a program might pass the test simply by exploiting weaknesses in human psychology. If a given system passes the test we cannot be sure if it was because of the quality of the responses or the gullibility of the judge. In contrast, Hutter’s compression test is more reliable. The more that data is compressed, the harder it becomes to compress it further (Chaitin, 2006). Because there is no way to cheat by using a simple heuristic, data compression presents a reliably hard standard. We argue that this process of identifying deep patterns through compression is what people mean when they attribute both ‘intelligence’ and ‘consciousness’.

I agree with your direction, but have qualms with your points.

Suppose for absurdity I replay my original argument, but with humans, and you reply "that doesn't mean humans are conscious; it means that the things which are housed within skulls are conscious". I understand the nuance you're introducing, but don't think that it helps. Part of the difficulty of the Combination Problem is that the boundary of conscious control extends beyond the nexus of thought. I'll accept that rocks are just the substrate, but integrated circuits are just carefully cooked rocks; substrate-vs-consciousness thinking might be wrong.

I agree with you that science is done empirically, and thus doesn't experience objectivity. However, maths is quite formal, and in the past century we managed to achieve "formal formality" with category theory. We now can talk of certain objects as existing universally; in their context, not only do they exist, but they uniquely exist. For example, `1+1=2`, which is to say that there's an equivalence between any pair of objects selected one by one, and any pair taken both at a time; for any particular counting context, there's only one natural numbers object.

I am not quite as pessimistic as you regarding the quality of the conclusions that we reach. Rather than saying that our filters make us subjective, I would simply say that the experiences of humanity are essentially human. There's an anthropic bias because humans can't experience anything that isn't human; we can't think truly alien ideas or build truly alien artifacts. Everything we think is non-human is actually human. This doesn't prevent us from drawing conclusions, but it does forbid objectivity.
That struck me as especially egregious; even if the e-book-version was legitimate, why on earth would anyone think that merging these reviews is a good idea?

Some tech books are, in my opinion, terrible for e-book without adjustments and vice versa (e.g., description on left page and corresponding picture on right page might work quite well in a paper book but not in an ebook where you see only one page at a time); why would these ever be merged?

How do you effectively lead a project? How do you balance requirements? How do you say no to stakeholders? How do you balance time vs quality?

Moving someone up to a senior role is giving them the opportunity to take on more responsibility and develop their skills. Very few people are promoted to a senior role already knowing how to manage a team well or how to balance requirements. The expectation is that they've shown an aptitude and potential in a mid-level role, and that they'll learn those skills after they're promoted in to the new role.

Promoting someone to senior isn't a reward for already doing everything a senior does. If you treat people that way, and give mid-level people the responsibilities of senior roles without the pay or title, then they will leave very quickly to get jobs where they do the work of a senior with the pay and title of a senior.

Well, you should be careful about that beer. Actually you should probably be more careful about that beer.

If you feel people are being too blase about cannabis, then you ought to be horrified at how popular culture treats alcohol. Alcohol is toxic, it's a killer in both acute and chronic scenarios. It's carcinogenic, harmful to a lot of your internal organs, it's addictive, it's fattening, it can even cause seizures if stopped too quickly. It causes mental health problems and mental decline. It really is one of the worst drugs and its annual death-toll beats out all other drugs combined.

No drug use is without problems, but this societal attitude that "drugs" are bad, but "just a beer" is fine... it's flat out deluded.

So I have no problem treating a lot of forms of drug use, particularly of drugs like cannabis and other less-harmful substances, just like someone having a beer.
