A run() function to deal with the data is an interpreter (the data has stuff like calls to the wait function and subroutines in it) or at least a command-replayer, if the control flow all runs before any gameplay happens. The behavior might also be dynamic such that the command-replayer approach doesn't work.

One reason BulletML is useful compared to a general-purpose language is that you could arbitrarily recombine BulletML ASTs to produce valid bullet patterns, which Kenta Cho did for rRootage[0]. I think another reason that people implement VMs for these languages is that the host language lacks coroutines, so it cannot express the wait() function, and they don't want to turn their bullet pattern code inside-out. Even if the host language has coroutines, they may not be serializable, so saving your game in the middle of a level may not be possible if you build on top of coroutines, whereas it is definitely possible if you control the interpreter state of your DSL.

That's another company that feels like they don't want to be an OSS company after all. After Elastic, I pay more attention to contributor agreements. Basically I consider any project that requires transfer of copyright for OSS contributions as likely to change their license at some point. It's fine; I'm not against that sort of thing and I sometimes pay for software. But I like to know what I'm getting into before and I don't appreciate the bait and switch. It also guides decisions as to what I contribute to actively.

I do a simple sanity check with any OSS software before using it:

- Make sure there is no contributor agreement requirements. This is a gigantic red flag that the license can and probably will be changed at some point.

- Make sure the license is not overly restrictive (like AGPL). I appreciate people have good reasons for picking this license; but it comes with some serious restrictions in a commercial environment. And like it or not, a lot of companies have active policies against this. Either way, I avoid anything with this license.

- Make sure the project is actively maintained. You don't want to get stuck with unmaintained software. Replacing dependencies is a PITA.

- Make sure the project is not overly dependent on VC funding. Startups fail all the time at which point anything they worked on turns into abandon ware.

- Ideally, make sure the project has a healthy diverse group of committers. Healthy here means more than one company is involved. Most projects that fail one or more of the above tests usually aren't very healthy in this sense.
> driven by the expected outrage if they tried to pull the same stunt with retailers

which is pretty good evidence that society should pass a law to disallow apple from doing it (rather than let them pick and choose to charge a subset small enough to bypass public outrage, but still rake in an undeserved tax on apple device users)!
>As an Aussie observer, I'm seeing more US influence in our region.

Fox News is an Australian product built to flood the US with far-right, pro-business outrage. We'll get out of your lane once you get out of ours.

All kidding aside, describing these sorts of things in terms of national influence is extremely unproductive. New Zealand wouldn't be turning itself into a pro-commercial-pirate haven or anticopyright haven but for the influence of the US[1]. The question regarding extradition is not "should we consider what Kim Dotcom did to be a crime[0]" but "do we abduct him to another jurisdiction to face trial." It's bikeshedding over the color of the wood on the electric chair.

[0] In general, extradition treaties only apply for acts that are crimes in both jurisdictions.

[1] Even China's pro-copyright, they just don't want to pay America for any of it. If they were anti-copyright they'd be freely sharing all the "IP" they keep stealing.
So in a fantasy world where we could eliminate all fraud without spending a single dollar on enforcement[1], we could cut the deficit by somewhere between 1/7 and 1/3, and would still have to find over $1T more money somehow.

The deficit is so absurdly high at this point that we need to both cut spending (and yes, any obviously wasteful spending is a good place to start) and increase revenue.

No, that is kind of the point of a salt is that it doesn't need to be hidden - it's designed for a scenario where e.g. your database is hacked and they're visible as plaintext: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_(cryptography)

Since the salts are random, unique to each SSN and long: a) you'll find no existing rainbow table that contains the correct plaintext for your SSN hash and b) each SSN now requires its own bruteforcing that is unhelpful for any of the other SSNs

Combine that with a very expensive hashing method like PBKDF2 (I'm sure there's something better by now) and you've made it pretty dang hard for non state actors to bruteforce a significant chunk of SSNs. There's also peppers that involve storing some more global secrets on HSMs.

I'm sure the crypto nerds have like a dozen better methods than what I can come up with but the point is this is not a feasibility issue.

I really enjoyed Megaupload & rapidshare those were almost as good as the WaReZ days if not better: direct links to any digital content without waiting for seeders

It's a shame. Arresting Dotcom won't do anything to curb piracy in fact it would raise the stakes even higher and more untraceable leading to more uncensored content that would be deemed "harmful"

Dotcom should've chosen Russia or China instead of NZ but obviously the quality of life isn't quite up to par with NZ. Russia dacha outside moscow would've been great for him without worries of US extradition.
It currently does not, but it's something we would like to eventually support.

I imagine it has something to do with the fact that there is a somewhat simple pen-and-paper procedure, quite similar to long division, for calculating square/cubic/etc. roots to arbitrary precision, digit by digit. So finding roots is, in a sense, an arithmetic operation; and of calculus one better not speak in a polite society.
This doesn't work for Patreon, which often isn't merely about "digital assets": while some people on Patreon might be using it to merely sell access to some digital portfolio, many (I'd even say "most") use it as a form of VIP club system, with direct access to the artist, custom work products, physical swag that you receive in the mail, shoutouts during live shows... Patreon isn't a system that inherently scales with anything close to zero marginal cost, at least for most of the tiers of most of the artists I've seen on the platform.
You can `pip install` from the filesystem just as easily as you would over the internet, either from wheels or source folders. I'm sure if you wanted to you could write a quick script to download all of the packages and dependencies you need and then zip it all up for you.

Why though? It doesn't seem to be related at all to the OP other than both are tutorial books?
Yes and no, it's a bit too simplistic and doesn't explain the actual "why" of Galois Theory, just the how. The brilliant insight Galois figured out is that there is a fundamental connection between fields and groups, but that is just the "technique" with which he solved the problem. The "why even bother" is a bit more complex but simply put Galois wanted to establish a criterion to determine what polynomials are solvable or unsolvable in which fields. E.g. we know x^2=-1 is solvable in C with x=i but not in real numbers. Can we generalize that proof to such a degree that we can mechanistically run it for arbitrary polynomials in arbitrary fields?
This is really fun! I like the gameplay loop of grinding the shapes for exp and avoiding the higher-level players. Some things I'd like to see:

- Dying and losing exp (and levels) feels overly brutal. Losing ~10 levels a death makes me dejected to re-grind.

- The level scaling might be better logarithmic so the initial levels make it super clear as to the benefit the upgrade has.

- Up to level 5 there should be a "noob flag" where you can't damage or be damaged by other players. This can be toggled off and is only on until the first time you reach level 6.

If you are interested in disaster psychology and planning like this, you might also enjoy "The Unthinkable" by Amanda Ripley. It covers several notable disasters and the environment that shaped them. It gives advice on the psychology of victims of a disaster, how to prepare for one as an individual, and how to prepare for one as a community.

It was recommended to me by an EMT giving a TECC class. I found the book fascinating and am open to other recommendations in the same vein.

ACL Is Not an AI Conference [pdf]
Likely because most people think "source available on GitHub" = "open source", so they're just answering the low-hanging-fruit even if the question is technically incorrect. They don't claim to be open source anywhere, and I haven't seen them claiming to be open source since they relicensed to the BUSL over 5 years ago. I don't think there's malice here.

I think you are right to think of it in terms of who is doing development. The plus of a non open-source license is well-funded development. The downside is fewer outside contributions. In this specific instance, I think Cockroach was BSL? So, it can be forked into a community project where new contributions are open-source. Another corporation just wouldn't be able to profiteer off the fork directly until the changeover date.
You live in the Western world buddy. You're not going to jail for playing with mesh network gadgets and Twitter isn't going anywhere.

> If Congress was considering a federal ban on all electric cars in the United States, I'd want Tesla's government relations figures on Capitol Hill talking about it.

The problem with that is the lobbyist has a voice proportional to the money spent by the lobbyist's client. If, for example, I wanted to ban electric cars, I wouldn't even be able to get an appointment anywhere near Capitol Hill. Or if I did, nobody would listen. Just a pat on the head and perhaps some gallery passes to watch the legislature. If 1,000,000 of us across the US wanted that, we wouldn't get on Capitol Hill either. But if a car company or $special_interest_lobby wants a meeting -- they get it because those people are contributing millions to campaigns and PACs. Lobbyists even write many bills for congressmen.

If there was consideration on a federal ban for electric cars (or whatever,) then Tesla and the other car companies can write a letter to their congressman and have it ignored like the rest of us. And if they don't like it, then they can vote like the rest of us. They can even run advertisements trying to convince people to agree with them.

Money and lobbyists should not be able to amplify the importance of a particular viewpoint.

Paid lobbying should be illegal. It's one half step away from outright bribery. The other side of that coin is the administrative state official who makes rules favorable to a particular company, then "retire" from public service to take a highly paid, "consultant" role at the very company they helped.

DMCA safe harbor says you don’t have to actively police your content but you have to take it down if a copyright holder complains. YouTube had robust tooling to take down content when they received a complaint. They got sued anyway, they won because the evidence showed they always took the content down (and that Viacom the party who sued was active in putting the content up there in the first place)

My Skylake iGPU ran everything on my PC just fine for me. That ranges from Minecraft to (apparently the most graphically intensive game I own) The Talos Principle. Sure, not always at the ultra high settings, but that's not something I care about.

Once I upgraded recently to a Threadripper I threw in an old GTX 760 because Threadrippers don't have iGPUs. The 760 also did fine. Now I finally have a bleeding-edge-ish Sparkle Arc A770, but that's only because I wanted to run a shader coding event and didn't want to force other people to care about the server having a behind-the-curve GPU.

I don't think that falls short.

The reason for the "any lawful act" language is to allow the ASF to do things like run a conference, accept donations, sell t-shirts and other activities. If the statement was only "develop open-source software" there are all kinds of important activities that support open source development that would be impossible.

The fact is, however, that certificates can be changed by the people who can vote. IN the case of the ASF, the members are the ones who vote. Getting those ~800 members to radically trash the traditional goal of the foundation is not going to be possible as long as the current membership is active.
It flat-out made training people on CSS tolerable. I could have them install the Bookmarklet (before it became an Extension), show them how to use it, and boom, instant productivity boost.

Within months I couldn't imagine working without it.
The main thing I specifically value about Google being whole is that there is a part of the business that is a firehouse of money, and some sizable % of this money is used in a Patronage system, supporting not the arts but open source technology & standards.

Well the film studio asks them if they want to work for a given rate (or they ask the studio) and both sides agree to the contract. If there is too much supply because many people want to work in the space, it lowers the prices. I don’t think they are owed anything just because they have a lot of skill or are creative.

How would you do it?

You don’t have to feel sorry for the film studios of course, I’m not crying for them either. But I still think there’s a difference between pirating movies and having an advantageous position in a job market.
One of the cool things that lawyers do is that they advise you on how you can comply with the law and avoid such pesky things as “imprisonment” and “extradition”.
is US intellectual property a national security issue? I don't understand why they went to such extent pursuing a man for simply running a piracy site

meanwhile US is losing influence and trust on geopolitical stage, shouldn't that be the bigger issue

edit: im being rate limited so heres my response to comment below:

I didn't say anybody was replacing US, merely they are losing credibility and prestige on world stage and this isn't recent and not slowing down.

I don't think any country will be able to replace US and its freedom of maritime navigation anytime soon.

China is in no position to project as its undergoing internal turmoil. Neither is Russia. BRICS also won't offer much.

One potential non-zero chance scenario is the northern artic sea routes opening up due to rising temperatures melting ice bypassing the need to route through singapore and suez canal which would put Russia back on the power map.

US is a hyperpower and there is no equal.

Maybe a unified Korea with extended northern manchuria territories can fill the vacuum left by China and Russia in the region. I don't really see any other candidates.
