The ends are open but the means are limited by the design. Want to elevate your Sims out of poverty? Well you can't really, but you can tax the poor out of their inconvenient, property-value reducing existence by setting regressive tax rates and your city will function just fine. Want to build a European style city centre which is pedestrianised, mixed-use and has controls on building style? Nope, you can't, the game wants to fill a commercial zone with towers and parking lots.

Sure, not all the design assumptions align quite so neatly with American and right wing sterotypes: suburbs are really inefficient to provide services for and Sims aren't at all bothered about religion in many versions. But they are designed limitations rather than the product of players' imagination.
>The philosophy of python is there should be only one pythonic way of doing things.

The philosophy of anything (python, unix, etc) is usually just cargo cult early bogus idealism.

What happens later is that reality and pragmatism come into play.

People don't want simple languages, people want more features.
This is not entirely true: Windows Powershell defaulted to a blue background. Though this is admittedly an edge case, as Windows Powershell is now deprecated in favour of Powershell Core (which has a black background) IIRC.
You can unknow at the point you no longer posses the capacity to know. Which is why pre-birth and post-life are the same.

The mistake is in projecting the current emotions of attachment to the current capacity to experience all the things to a time where no such capacity exists. If you do that you will feel afraid of death in this way. If you see pre-birth as fundamentally exactly the same as post-life and aren't bothered by the pre-birth phase, then you have no problems.
Wikipedia has a list for German loan words from Yiddish as well: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_deutscher_W%C3%B6rter_au...

There seems to be a large overlap with the Dutch list, and they are also very commonly used. I don’t think many people (me included) would realize for a large part of the list, that they have Yiddish/Hebrew origin.
We still need @safe as default though.

I did not like it

Made it seem like it always happens when correct CPR is done.
I hate to voice a negative opinion but there are multiple red flags in this project.

There are lots of user space spinlocks in the code, for the scheduler and the mcsp queue. Questionable use of atomics and memory barrier orderings. NIH futex using atomics and a WINAPI semaphore for backoff. No cpu_relax hints. Not great test coverage.

This all could be achieved using mutexes and condition variables and it would have equally good best case performance (when using a futex based mutex), and it would be easier to test for reliability and it would have more predictable performance characteristics under high contention.

To be fair, this seems to be targeted at games for Windows and Xbox and I'm not sure how good the concurrency primitives (mutex, condvar) are for those platforms. Maybe it makes sense to spin wait on a gaming console. Or maybe the typical intended use case never hits the high contention cases or it doesn't matter if a thread is pre-empted when holding a spin lock.

I am not claiming this code is buggy, but 15 minutes of reading the code and tests does not convince me that it is not.

I've written and tested a lot of this kind of code and it is not straightforward. Sometimes I hit a problem after running a stress test on all CPU cores for 10 minutes. The tests/examples in this project run 10, 100 or 1000 times in a loop. That is inadequate to hit the pathological thread scheduling to to trigger race conditions with a high probability.
And another person might not care at all for type hints, consider them detrimental and against the spirit of pure dynamic Python, and ask for their favorite feature (e.g. async, unicode handling, whatever) to be the "one" feature "they should have added".

> The idea that a fairly high but reasonable population city - SimCity limits population artifically through zoning restrictions

I'd say the population limit stems from the game's map size limit. The largest SimCity 3000 map is 32 square kilometers, and Magnasanti packs 6 million residents in there. That's 187,000 people per square kilometer.

For comparison, Manhattan is one of the densest areas in the US, and it has 28,000 residents per square kilometer. Manila, the densest city in the world, has 41,000 per square km.

I am unsure I would describe a city seven times denser than Manhattan as "reasonable", at least in a game designed to replicate cities as they currently exist in the real world, and I am also unsure I would describe the decision to limit the map size in a video game as "ideological".
Well, I think at this point we can conclude that companies will not be good shepherds of our should-be-private data if we don't incentivize them to. Who'd have guessed?

I appreciate the pragmatic stance you take, and we should definitely move to more robust identification methods.

But making this case for better ID tech should IMHO not be confused with giving facebook and the others a pass. This should never have happened, and the very fact that we have a data trove this big is already a problem. That they don't seem to even attempt to protect that data is another one.

Close that shop up. The fines for this kind of stuff (and the other stunts they've pulled) should make it economically no longer viable to keep it open, really. The first time you fuck up this hard, the fines should hurt. This is not their first time.
It matters because I don't have the knowledge to verify the accusations and the fact that the person that makes accusations of academic fraud is misrepresenting himself as a "researcher" means that they are not a trustworthy source of academic criticism.

Mixture of biological and psychological reasons. Female orgasm is bounded to emotional perception by default. There is no only "mechanical" orgasm in women with deep satisfaction as a result.

I personally think that the web development industry is the software industry's peak form of rushing things to market.

So many frameworks, so many concepts repeating their form every 3-5 years...and only with pure luck you pick the one framework that will be there for the next 2 years to come.

Nobody refactors. Everybody reinvents. Everybody abandons. It's an endless cycle of catching your own tail.

If you read a software engineering book about patterns and architectures you'll quickly realize how many framworks reused a concept that is 30 years existing already, yet selling themselves as the hot new cool kid on the block.

I don't understand why lately architecting software doesn't result in refactoring anymore. I think that only through refactoring you can really understand and learn from your own mistakes.
Why not just use Vagrant?
Thankfully the Penlight lib has many functions such as that. Lua's speed means that having library functions written in the language itself is alright for business-logic programs.

My main beef with Lua is the absence of ‘null’, which means I can't write middleware doing transformations on data without a schema—i.e. API requests and processing, for which Lua would be great otherwise.

I just hope at some point we will just stop using lithium thanks to better battery tech
my perspective on this evolved over time to understand it in a comforting way.

Inside our bodies, cells are constantly dying, and new cells are returning in their place. Death isn't something that happens someday; it's something that is always with us. In this way, we see life and death aren't separate; they're the same thing. There is no "someday I'll be dead." There is only a continuum of change. A cloud in the sky doesn't spontaneously appear and vanish from existence by magic. It appears to be magic, but really we know it just changes forms. Existence and nonexistence are magical inventions of the human mind. Reality is beyond that.

So we have this concept of death as being in a dreamless sleep forever, but that's just a concept of the mind. Whatever we think death is, it's just a thought. Death is beyond thought and concept, so our understanding is forever inaccurate.

We talk about nothingness as if it's being locked up in any abyss. But where did the universe come from? Well, it came from nothingness. If that nothingness can birth a universe and reality, returning to that after death isn't so bad... you're just going home.

Conduktor Inc. | Scala/Kafka Software Engineer Roles | EU/US/World | Full-Time | FULL REMOTE

Conduktor, a desktop application, a developer tool, exists to help developers, operators, QA, enterprises, working with Apache Kafka to ensure their system and data are safe. We want to make working with Apache Kafka as easy as possible and streamline all the processes thanks to the different softwares we want to build around it. We don't host any Apache Kafka ourselves, our customers have their own solution. We are building smart and beautiful interfaces for our users to "forget" about the internal slippery details of Apache Kafka, and let them trust us.

We're a small team for now (founders, a few engineers, a few sales), constantly looking for new people to help us. We're currently hiring mostly in EU timezone, but are also open to US/Canada (note: most of us are french-speaking, hence a french culture).

Our stack: Kotlin, Scala, ZIO, React/TypeScript, Google Cloud, and you must know Apache Kafka

- We don't host any Apache Kafka cluster, this is not a Data Engineer or DevOps position.
- We're using ZIO in Scala, we are adept of FP principles and love it.

The proof Russel gives is better though, because it captures something essential in why "0=1" and "1=2" are wrong via a natural example in sets. Meanwhile you're effectively invoking in Axiom 1 the principle of explosion, which has some intuition to it—being that since there can be no valid proofs of falsehood, we can derive anything on the basis of case analysis on the possible ways (of which there are zero) we could have derived a falsehood—but not quite as nice as what Russel shows.
I wish the author explained why he generalises to Doctors. Some doctors would say, speak for yourself.
Also grew up in (far north) Qld in 80s and 90s. Spent much of my childhood camping on islands and snorkelling fringing reefs where my (clouded) memories are pretty great. Like most, attended state schools ... but we never visited the reef, and it was rarely, if ever, mentioned. Returned a few years ago to work in reef conservation. You should keep in mind that the sites zoned/selected for tourism make up less than 1% of the reef and tend to be chosen because of their natural beauty and resilience. You are not visiting a randomly selected site (not to mention that you tend to swim in an area the size of a couple of 50m pools, the reef is about the same size as Italy, as long as the west coast of the US .. or QLD). Unless you're talking a bed of dead coral (which could easily be caused by a storm) most signs of stress in the ecosystem are unrecognisable to the average eye. Much of the reef, including many of the tourist sites, have already been heavily affected by the mass bleaching events (most recently in 2019/2020). Many of the reefs recovered, some of them didn't and the boats visiting them stopped doing so. I have personally seen pristine reefs and decimated ones within a few kms of each other. It is a nuanced story. The main issue is that the heating events - that lead up to the bleaching - are occuring more frequently. Bleaching isn't the only outcome here. E.g. many species' reproductive cycles are effected by temperature. Add to this other effects of climate change, such as acidification (which doesn't just take a toll on corals but also hugely important sea grass populations). Plus seperate anthropogenic stressors, such as nutrient runoff which can lead to uncontrollable outbreaks of coral eating starfish. Absolutely agree that technology is a vital component, but without a major and rapid ideological shift (in Aus at least) the distopia painted by Ove, et al may be closer than you think.

If you're interested, we collected ~14k images from across the reef between Oct and Dec last year. You can have a look (and help us analyse them) here: greatreefcensus.org/analysis
Because B2B just makes more sense for small scale businesses. And I say this as someone who is building a B2C SaaS product.

Here are a few reasons off the top of my head:

1) B2B can charge higher prices (Charge More (TM)), which means you can afford higher CAC and require less customers to reach profitability

2) Businesses tend to be more sticky than consumers

3) You can segment the market more effectively with pricing

4) Customers are more likely to be grateful/appreciative because your product directly impacts their business

5) Support is less likely to be a headache due to a smaller number of customers and 4)

No matter how many test subjects you use, if you run the experiment for a very long time, everyone goes bankrupt and will never recover.

More precisely there is a finite time after which no-one ever passes above $0.0000000000000001.

That is a mathematical theorem.

This doesn’t depend on the number of test subjects, and you can add as many zeroes as you want.

Therefore in the long run the mean outcome is 0.

Forgive me if I have misinterpreted what you are are trying to say.

That's really not the point. The idea that what sims care about more is small increases in crime and not health, pollution, work, income inequality, and that's the best way not to get them to leave is absolutely ideological.

To note, 187k people per sq. km is not actually unrealistic - there are neighborhoods in the world with this level of density such as Ayal Nasir in Dubai, and even some with this level of density and the same order of magnitude in population such as the Imbaba neighborhood of Cairo in Egypt. But this is a detail and mostly besides the point.

It's worth noting that this extends beyond the current housing market, too. Two common examples I often bring up:

1. We don't know whether or not consumers actually like having touchscreens in their cars as the primary means of control, because the "free" market lacks any other choice.

2. We don't know whether or not consumers actually like having TVs with built-in "smarts" (as opposed to, say, a box or stick that one can upgrade/replace at any time without having to replace the entire TV), because the "free" market lacks any other choice.

In order for a free market to exist, it has to be, you know, actually free. That means having some actual choices, and without coercive pressure toward a particular choice.

What makes the housing market even worse, however, is that said lack of choice is almost always through government fiat - making it even more impossible for a competitor to offer choices different from the ones currently in vogue.

At some point, we the people need to stand up for ourselves and tell NIMBYs and such to go pound sand instead of actively making our lives as difficult as possible simply because they can.
Twitch itself replaced HitboxTV, which was pretty much in Twitch's situation today: a de facto monopoly, and technical issues (they offered either the resource hungry Flashplayer or a semi-broken HTML5 implementation).
