Well firstly, the term 'social media' is so broad and fluid that I don't blame people for having differing ideas about it.
That said, my definition of social media is based on what is has become in recent history: 'internet-based surveillance-driven attention market'. It is a platform that divvies up users by demographics (determined by multiple forms of surveillance) and sells access to their eyes/brains. Because payment is tied to those eyes, there is an implied incentive to maximize 'engagement' (the number of times those eyes look at something).
That is not at all how I'd describe Hackernews, a link aggregation site (like Reddit), or a web forum (where people can talk to each other), despite social media platforms having all of those sort of abilities.
Almost certainly not. If you wanted to do this a better move would have been to target China with 100% tariffs then load up on Chinese stocks before lifting them.
You wouldn't need to start a trade war with the entire world, including allies, to do what you're suggesting. Just targeting a few companies or a single economy would work just as well without destroying your own country's economy and your political legacy.
Good pull. I was wondering if that was a true statement or not. I am curious if Linus knew about that or made it up independently, or if both came from somewhere else. I really don't know.
The problem, which I've run into with terraform code like this, is when you need to change something in those 20 lines, and forget about one of the places you pasted, then spend hours trying to figure out why one system is behaving differently than the others (especially if the person debugging is different than the person who made the change).

Yes, as I said, its perfectly possible to make a good game with a small team. But to prop up a few games like you have is just survivor bias. There are thousands of failed games at that scale. When I say it takes a good game and massive marketing budgets to launch an IP, I mean to do so with mediocre or better odds of success. The rare gems you've mentioned are just that. Rare.
What variability? Lua can be easily sandboxed to not take any inputs: Running it would express the same manifest. And most Lua configurations would still read declaratively unless they needed extra the complexity.
I just think it's a shame that the manifest file for Lua projects would be in a language other than Lua itself, when it is perfectly suited.
Ah yes. It was pretty cool that when Peepcode was acquired, Pluralsight asked me what I wanted to do with my royalties there and was fine with me waiving them and just open-sourcing the content.
It also is a testament to the backwards compatibility of Git that even after 17 years, most of the contents of that book are still relevant.
I'm glad I learned React during the time when React.createClass was the only way. It was simple and intuitive. At that time the docs included a very lengthy discussion of what should be put inside the class and what should be passed via props. It was very helpful when it comes to teaching newcomers to architect their app. It also carried over the years of intuition by the typical dev working with OOP. Much better than the current trend of using hooks for everything.
The levy causes less people to buy the service, this reduces the service's revenue. This causes the service to be more likely to accommodate some kind of regulatory ragine.
Isn't that the point of the levy?
I'm not that simpathetic to people crying about not being able to use this type of service anyway. I've never used one, and won't in the future. I've even mostly stopped using goggle's youtube as teh intrusive ads have increased.
People's addiction to these dis-servies is really the root of the problem.
They'll almost certainly be happier without them...
> But, if your problem is simple enough that you can represent it with a handful of states with two or three transitions each, then you have a very trivial problem, so trivial that the state-machine diagram likely added nothing at all to your understanding of it.
And yet, it's extremely common to see apps with clearly broken states and state transitions for what should be relatively "trivial" state machines. Think play/pause buttons, buttons with loading states, form fields with error states, etc.
Given that a computer should be able to simulate at least some applicable aspects and processes of reality billions of times faster than the speed at which our own universe runs at: Yes, I think it is entirely reasonable to have these agents follow at least some kind of from-scratch evolutionary history. It might also be valuable: As it could further research in understanding what the word "applicable" there even means; what parts of our evolutionary history are important toward inductively reasoning your way toward a diamond in Minecraft? What parts aren't? How can that generalize?
If you code a reward function for each step necessary to get a diamond, you are teaching the AI how to do it. There is no other way to look at it. Its extremely unethical to claim, as Nature does, that it did this without "being taught", and it is in my eyes academic malpractice to claim, as their paper does, that it did this "without human data or curricula". If this is the case; I am still digesting the paper, as it is quite technical.
> Make those threads access external resources simultaneously, or memory mapped to external writers, and there is no support from Rust type system.
I don’t think that’s true.
External thread-unsafe resources like that are similar in a way to external C libraries: they’re sort of unsafe by default. It’s possible to misuse them to violate rust’s safe memory guarantees. But it’s usually also possible to create safe struct / API wrappers around them which prevent misuse from safe code. If you model an external, thread-unsafe resource as a struct that isn’t Send / Sync then you’re forced to use the appropriate threading primitives to interact with the resource from multiple threads. When you use it like that, the type system can be a great help. I think the same trick can often be done for memory mapped resources - but it might come down to the specifics.
Idk about lua, but uv single file python scripts (search the phrase) may be highly relevant for you. Or pure python, if you don't need to pull in any dependencies.
Please note, that if someone is asking for payment in exchange for employment or help with recruitment, it is very often a scam. Be very careful of such schemes.
> Never pay to get a job. Honest employers won’t ask you to pay to get a job. And they won’t send you a check and tell you to send some of the money back. That’s a scam. The check will end up being fake.
