For game engines, point #3 is the most important. JIT compilers tend to do better when the entire codebase is in the same language, because they can't optimize code that is written in C/C++, and have a harder time optimizing code that calls C/C++. However, this is exactly the sort of thing at the core of a game engine.

Another thing is that when making games a scripting language can be easier to use by members of the team who may be good at game design but not good at programming in C++. It is also convenient to be able to edit the scripts without needing to recompile and restart the game.

In the case of Lua, one thing that makes it popular for games is that it is very small and also easy to embed. It was designed for ease of embedding.
Huh? Something must be seriously wrong with your network. I did everything via RDP (including watching movies) for years, over ADSL, with no issues whatsoever.
I wouldn't say fail2ban is bad advice per se. The kind of companies running deployments that do auditing on iptables are going to be very different to the types of companies that benefit from dynamic rules created by services like fail2ban.

There is a gulf of difference between hardening a Linux server for an independent web shop vs running Linux at Google. And this article very much feels like it's aimed at sysadmins of the former rather than SRE's of the latter (the fact that they're not even running configuration management like Puppet is a dead give away of that fact)
Do you have evidence of this or just good feelings that 20M surely would be used correctly? Have you considered that wealthy people would lie if it suits their material interests?
> Any tax cuts are trickle down?

Of course not, but when tax cuts for the top are billed to be wealth generating mechanisms for the middle and lower classes, that is literally the definition of "trickle-down economics".
Agreed, MikroTik is extremely complex due to how feature-rich it is and because they run the same OS across all their devices, regardless of router/switch/AP/generation. Definitely not for the faint of heart that simply want to do some basic networking.

On the other hand, I'm not sure "unintuitive" is the correct word here. Having had the (dis)pleasure of setting up complex topologies on other manufactures like Cisco I found MikroTik to be considerably more intuitive (or perhaps "less unintuitive" would be more appropriate), possibly because Cisco has been built on for many decades and new features were constantly added on top of existing systems for compatibility purposes instead of redoing the CLI from scratch to make a more consistent user experience.

If it's a strawman, why do we keep participating in what it represents? Politicians may not be directly advocating it under its derogatory name but they tow the cultural line to maintain the status quo that support it. Many continue to push for low corporate taxes and low taxes (or maintaining loopholes) on the vast wealth. We have this deeply embedded idea of supporting corporations which are mostly hierarchical in nature in terms of power and pay. We frequently prioritize business needs/wants above people (i.e. the general population) usually implicitly under the assumption that by helping businesses, we help the general citizen, all under the ideas of trickle down economics. Many still participate in corporate worship. During the Trump administration we saw a slew of such policies, including dropping the corporate tax rate.

The reason you don't continue to hear about trickle down economics is because it's a derogatory framing of the economic mindset that supports a structure we largely subscribe to. It's deeply embedded in our economy and culture. Maintainers don't need to argue much for it because it's the status quo and has momentum. What you should see are more politicians fighting to reverse the effects that push trickle down economics had/have on the country and there are few who do. Sanders, Warren, and Cortez are the most famous opposition pushing to promote general workers rights and bottom up economies, I'd argue Sanders being the leader here. Many think he's crazy for his ideals which is a testament to how deep seated trickle down economics is in this country.
You keep saying that, but I think that maybe you could make a better effort to understand other people’s analogies, even when they don’t map neatly to the mental model you have in mind.

My point is that a prevention mechanism can have utility for those employing it, even if it’s trivially circumvented by those who really want to. It does not have to be a binary thing, where either it works perfectly 100% of the time or it’s useless. It’s obvious to me that this feature could have a stifling effect on spread of content, and that might be well enough to have fulfilled its purpose.

Mind you, ideologically I do not necessarily agree with it, but that’s another matter.
I agree. I think the next big shift will be a fairly big one, not an incremental step.
Personally, my money is on Phoenix LiveView - the syntax and concepts aren't super familiar, but the benefits of no longer having to build a lot of your logic multiple times and the ease of scaling this platform are extremely attractive.

I really doubt it's the human pilot that makes a fighter jet expensive (e.g. a drone of the same capabilities probably wouldn't be any cheaper to produce and maintain).

OTH combining human-piloted planes with cheap "companion drones" for scouting, distraction and as weapon carriers sounds much more useful.
Secret research doesn't need to be diverted from bloated budgets of open programs. Classified programs are just a line item in appropriations bills with a code name and no explanation of what it's for. Small oversight committees, rather than all of Congress and anyone with working Internet who can download the public budget, get to the see the budget details. The only reason to do something like you're suggesting is if you're trying to hide from the oversight committees, and the only reason to do that is if you're trying to do something illegal.

In practice, historically when the US government wanted to do things that are illegal, think Iran Contra, they just relied on private funding to bypass Congress, not stealing from other line items. Or they just lied (e.g. sending troops into Cambodia but not admitting it).
Zig has tagged unions and the corresponding switch expressions, is that not equivalent?
The very point of capitalism is to separate as much the act of making money from anything that isn't money itself.
the technology is not private, but the coin ownership is. As there is no government institution that can print/create coins and use that as to control inflation, adjust for GDP etc. and set rules on how the newly create money should be used. This leaves supply of coins in the market to people or private institutions that have a lot of them and thus money supply is privatised.

And yes banks are private but the money supply is ultimately controlled by the Fed and thus the democratic system is responsible for the money supplies as it appoints the governing body.

the p2p network is free to all, just like handing cash money is free to all.

Individual freedom is not the same thing as democracy, to much individual freedom is ultimately anti democratic. Because this will always favour the rich and powerful.
"Trickle down" is a snarl word like "Cultural Marxism". Supposed advocates of it never call it that, and anyone talking about it is probably getting most of their information of it from other like-minded critics.
Speaking from a historical perspective.

The East India company/ies pretty much won much of the world for Britain & Europe. Europe was neither wealthy nor technologically more advanced than India. But the Church with its christianising mission and doctrine of christian discovery allowed the pooling of resources. Concentration of wealth is important and the wealth did trickle down to other countries of Europe.

A modern take within India is of Reliance which has made cheap telecom services accessible for much of the population. Or the TATAs who have created a local automobile ecosystem competitive based on vertical integration. Trickle down does happen in the long run as long as corruption is limited. Concentration or pooling of wealth is important especially for developing countries.

Personally I do not care for inequality, and care more for dignity and wellbeing. The metric that matters most especially with developing countries is if their productivity has increased and if they have moved from low skilled to medium to high skilled job.
Sure sounds like you swallowed the neo-liberal arguments bait, hook and sinker. Let me guess; you probably find 'Atlas Shrugged' to be a profound work of reason?

> 1. Should we trust the government to spend the money more wisely than the folks who earned it?

Ah, the neo-liberal myth of the maker, the builder, the job creator. Let me tell you this; our economy/ies are built on the back of low-wage workers that are always, always, always getting only a share of their value addition. A fraction. So, unfortunately, the people "earning" the money already don't get it. So we could at least increase the taxes on the moochers that keep them subservient and make sure that the actual makers and builders don't get bankrupted just because of an unexpected illness.

> 2. What will incentivize people to work at insane rates if the vast majority of their income and wealth is taxed?

I guess that would be hunger and the need to pay for a roof over the head. Because that's what it is like for the vast, suffocatingly overwhelming majority of people. They work at insane rates because they are paid a starving wage and don't have to luxury. Far too many are forced to work insane hours, far too many are even doing multiple jobs at the same time because pay is so bad.

> long hours and sacrifices

Haha, that was a good one.

I'm terribly sorry, but the way you write makes it sound as if you would learn a lot from working a few months in a low-wage environment while having to pay your living expenses exclusively from that low-income wage. Without the option of going back home to your parents and cry. It might give you some perspective!

That's what did it for me at least.
thanks, I did :)

I find this example very ironic, given that the reason an " ambitious motherfucker " can take a cheap commodity like insulin and make it a monopolized product is directly a result of government regulations.

The very same government you want to take everyone money and believe will spend it wisely
Even 1% is hard for new investment advisers to make money on for new / small wealth managers given the regulatory requirements for maintaining compliance with state regulators. And for bigger wealth managers beating the market becomes harder, but their clients are ok with just not losing money sometimes, give they are constantly fighting inflation and massive rapid repricing or tax changes that they can’t quickly escape.

Here's what Lee Sedol said when he retired:

> With the debut of AI in Go games, I've realized that I'm not at the top even if I become the number one through frantic efforts. https://en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN20191127004800315

He'd been playing Go professionally for 24 years. I never said he ragequit. He's too great a man to do something like that. Lee instead apologized for his losses, stating "I misjudged the capabilities of AlphaGo and felt powerless" while emphasizing that the defeat was his own and "not a defeat of mankind". I imagine being the Hector of humanity is quite a burden to bear. His professional ratings then took a dive for a few years https://www.goratings.org/en/history/ before he announced his retirement. To this day he remains the only human being who's ever won a single game against AlphaGo.
That money will trickle down isn't a myth. It's an outright lie or fraud. It's more clear to see when you take away the imagery and see it says: giving money to rich people is giving money to poor people.
I actually played Splendor for the first (three) time(s) some time ago and honestly didn't really like it. It's a very simple game, true. I feel like there are not many decision points for me as a player and therefore there is not much strategy involved. But maybe that is just my view after very few games.

(At the same time that probably makes it a good choice for a game implementation)

Thing is that for all my examples above I had a "good" reason to implement that specific game:

1. Dominion (shortly after it came out) To evaluate strategies to best my friends (obviously).
2. Eclipse Has a nice rock-paper-scissors type of ship combat, where you can counter every enemy build (if you have enough time and resources). Calculating the odds of winning would be interesting.
3. Homeworlds Seems to be a very fascinating game. But without any players to compete with [0] ... AI to the rescue ;-)

[0] I am aware of SDG where I could play online, but that site is in decay mode. Getting an account involved mailing the maintainer and those times I tried to start a game no players showed up.
Xsnow
No. That is exactly the kind of argument that was debunked. The rich, when given money, do not take the money and create for the poor.

In everything I’ve read about direct giving, inflation is so insignificant, it isn’t even concern that’s addressed.

Next time that ever happens have something like `adb logcat | tee log.txt` running in the background so you can actually figure out what's crashing.

My old Android phone has gotten into a very sorry state, I badly need to factory reset it to fix it (eh, and maybe root it while I'm at it) once I get some data off of it - but the other day my bank app happened to be crashing, and I was able to determine it was because Chrome's WebView hadn't updated correctly. So (the Play Store has completely wedged itself and the app has disappeared, seemingly a catastrophically failed update) I grabbed an updated WebView APK from Ze Internetz, and yay, fixed.

Although yeah, I can't really recommend that particular strategy as a particularly secure first-class solution...

But watching logcat can be very useful. And you can at least wave the log info above your head like an annoying "I did my due dilligence" flag :P
If at some moment in time it becomes coherent with your professional trajectory, then possibly yes.

A lot of people have retired on a large S&P nest egg, spent relatively frugally relative to their wealth and ended up even wealthier after 5 years. It's not that uncommon.

How would you say that money used to support them and grow their wealth was "earned" if they didnt work?

The truth is it was earned. Just not by them. It's glaringly obvious if you think about it for just one second but we maintain a polite fiction all the same.
How to Pull Off a Marketing Partnership with a Major Company
Screen recording is handled in an interesting way. If you start the recording while in the Telegram app, it just freezes after the 3-second countdown and never starts. It times out after about 10 seconds. If you switch to another app before that, it starts the recording, but if you try to switch back to Telegram the recording freezes halfway through the app switcher animation. Protected media is also blanked out in the app switcher.

It's different from apps using DRM like Netflix, where it usually just shows a notification saying "failed to start screen recording".
Training neural networks can drain the world of all power
I mean, no? In this specific example, the doctor is buying instruments which derive their interest from exploiting the labor and capital of those in the offering company, and after 20 years, the doctor is just living off others work because he 'earned it'. Plus, of course, in this perfect market scenario, no crashes or corrections can ever occur.

Their firewall is iptables wrapped in a really nice GUI.

The criticism on their firewall might as well be a criticism on iptables (which IMO is completely valid, even after years I still have doubts about what a certain rules structure is going to do).

iptables itself is extremely unintuitive (although extremely powerful and flexible), but their GUI makes it more manageable.

*"The site is up, I just can't get to it. Fix my network!"
an excellent point.

I think over all, people are much richer today than 2 decades ago - even those who are poor relative to the rich. Richness doesn't just include cash in hand, but the availability of goods and services. The fact that the internet is available (to be purchased) is a form of wealth, but this is often not counted.
James Webb Space Telescope launch scheduled 22 December
I bought several games to try, but the only other game I've played so far was Everspace. I just recently finished it. It was decent for killing time, but not that rewarding, and very repetitive.

There will be a sequel to BOTW coming out next year which I'm looking forward to. There is a prequel called Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, but at first glance, it doesn't look like my cup of tea. I should probably look into it a little more though.

There is trickle down, but sadly it is from the rich into political funding. That sets up a loop which favours the rich. It can't be fixed.
Yes, but you can buy repeated interactions. What's the actual difference then?

IMO it's down to arguing semantics about how "tight" is the causal chain between the cause and effect.

Do you perceive the cause (repeat buying) and its inevitable effect (caring) as sufficiently distinct in time and space? Then I guess you didn't buy the caring, you "built it through repeated interactions".

I personally see that boundary as mostly linguistic, and tend to not draw the distinction.
Feel free to keep advertising Matrix. I'm myself a strong supporter of it.

But to get it into the mainstream, it needs to compete with other messaging apps such as Telegram.

For that, it needs polish. Period. There's no way around it. So if the goal is to get it into the mainstream (and personally, I want it to be), then that is what it needs.

There are loads of ways you can contribute to this:

1. Contribute time, code, designs, general help and volunteering

2. Contribute money via personal means or via work

3. Promote the use of Matrix to individuals

4. Promote the use of Matrix to businesses, eg. at work, or as a backing protocol for messaging where it makes sense etc.

5. Purchase products that make use of or contribute to Matrix

etc. But in order for it to become popular on its own, and acquire a network effect (which it needs, because IM apps are a class of their own), friction to get new users needs to be reduced to near-zero. And for that... polish is needed. That's it.
Event-Driven Architecture: Beyond the Schema Registry
Let me try (and probably fail) to translate some of that.

S_n is the collection of permutations on n symbols with a multiplicative structure. In python

from itertools import permutations

n = 6

S_n = list(permutations(range(n)))

multiply = lambda alpha, beta: [alpha[x] for x in beta]

This is the reason why Substitution-Permutation networks interleave permutations with non-permutations. Two permutations in a row is just a permutation. "Representation Theory" is the art of taking such multiplicative structures and associating every object with a matrix so that the matrix multiplication encodes the original objects multiplication. This is useful because mathematicians know so much about matrices.

For example if you define

matrix = lambda perm: [[1 if i == j else 0 for j in range(n)] for i in perm]

matrix(alpha) * matrix(beta) == matrix(multiply(alpha, beta))

However, it is desirable to represent it as matrices in a more "efficient manner". For example S_3 can be written using only two dimensions. Representation theory deals with stuff like minimal representation.

If you snake from the bottom of young's lattice upwards to a specific diagram you can record the information into a young tableau by writing in the cell when it was added. Young tableau are very mathematically rich, but here is an "application" of them.

If you have a balanced parenthesis (the dyck langauge), [[[][]][]] and you record two list of when you open and when you close

[0, 1, 2, 4, 7]

[3, 5, 6, 8, 9]

you get a two-by-n young tableau, since the grid is increasing horizontally and vertically.

Other special shapes of young tableau can encode other interesting structures. Also see TAOCP V3 5.1.4, or google the RSK correspondence.

I make sure to go out every day. Unlike doctors' recommendations, I never use sun screen unless I know I'm going to be exposed for hours. I never get burned. I once had a PCP who told me I should alway put sun screen, even on my ears, when going out when it's sunny. I found this suggestion ridiculous. I do understand the skin cancer risks associated with sun exposure, but people need to be exposed to sunlight, just don't be stupid about it (e.g., sitting under the sun for hours to get a tan)
