I suspect it (the WASM VM) will "bubble out" from inside the JS VM in browsers sooner or later, as a distinct entity in browsers. To enable better optimizations, if only. And especially better optimizations means closer to metal,

To me, it sounds more like surgically replacing a fragment of your skin to get rid of a tattoo, then after some time replacing it back again to reapply the tattoo. So not exactly a walk in the park. The article seems to explicitly state th

As to the quote, you've either misread, or are actually amusingly trolling yourself ;) Given that the whole sentence that the quote comes from actually explains how to detect non-trolls : "And none of these is the troll, or perh

I'm specifically interested here in what the tool cannot do, more than what it can do. For now all I can tell is it "works for some empirical cases, and maybe works in rest of cases, but not strictly defined, don't expect

Is anyone aware what are the tool's limitations? Seems open-sourced ~1-2 months ago already, with publications history spanning much longer [1], but the README is very sparse, and I wouldn't probably understand much if I tried t

I see this is now getting off the front page without input from some of the most notorious HNers, but some of them have explicitly stated they like to be contacted by email and to give free advice. I'd suggest you try emailing some of

Not a straightforward answer, but this reminded me again of the "RISKS Digest", or "Forum On Risks to the Public in Computers and Related Systems", a long running and still active free e-periodical about various computer

As I said, I've already reported as a bug via FB, weeks ago, haven't heard from anybody since then. Is there some other way I should use? As to the root cause, that's what I suspected, and it also tells me that the TOR gatewa

The problem is not the existence of the challenge. The problem is it is broken in a fresh, unmodified install of the TOR Browser. Sorry, but I can't recognize a pure white square properly as a person.

Nice to know. Still, no spelling there, as far I can see. And no docs or examples either, apparently: https://www.haskell.org/hoogle/?hoogle=%3E%3E%3D is still a problem for me

Haven't seen it listed neither here nor there, so not sure if I'm the only one, but: for me, the first and currently blocking obstacle is of "graphical" syntax. I'm of the kind of people who hear the words they read

But IIUC, if one submits 1000 links and 10% of them get 100+ votes, while the rest get <100, then one's h-index is the same (100) as if one submitted 100 links, but all of them got 100+ votes. So, it doesn't measure "spam
