Most deep discussions require some amount of discussing your terms. A surprising amount of insight can be gathered by playing with and altering previous assumptions of a word's meaning.
For instance, by seeing violence as a spectrum you can see that while lying to the Nazi about the Jewish person in your attic is "committing violence" against said Nazi, you can also recognize that the lie is quite obviously justified violence -- and there is a spectrum of justified violence in that case.
When you lie to someone you damage their ability to see reality as it is, especially the reality of yourself (your thoughts, motivations, etc). Its not as severe as a punch to the face (in most cases at least) but it still causes harm.
Not all violence is wrong or illegal, and not all screaming is violence.
Words are defined by people. By seeing violence as a spectrum you can see the spectrum of possible responses to violence. We can then distinguish the different forms of violence with other words, like "physical"
Definitions vary depending on context. I think of violence as a spectrum. Talking peacefully and negotiating is extremely low violence. Threats etc are more. All our war and atomics are about the limit.
> Some definitions are somewhat broader, such as the World Health Organization's definition of violence as "the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a group or community, which either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment, or deprivation."
Violence IMO is anything which causes harm or can be used to force a condition.
Agreed, but recommend thinking of wasm that way. Wasm is not written as a proper stack machine, it's just a way to represent computations that can be optimized across architectures.
I literally made this mistake, creating a wasm interpreter, before I realized it was a terrible runtime bytecode.
Larry and Sergey just need to come back from their vacation and clean house. So much of Google culture used their humor and candidness at TGIF as a lighthouse.
How many developers are there? For single developer projects, commit messages have very little value compared to documentation and an extensive passing test suite.
As the project grows in contributors, the commit log gains value
I'm curious what your thoughts are on a config language I'm working on.
GitHub.com/vitiral/zoa
It has both binary and textual representation (with the first byte being able to distinguish them), and the syntax is clean enough I'm planning on extending it into a markup language as well.
This is exactly the kind of tutorial I've been waiting for for years. The way blocks and breaks work is especially non-intuitive if you are used to either assembly or regular languages, and you START with it. Good work, really loving this tutorial!
