This sounds like the thing Google is able to do with WaveNet. Just imagine the possibilities. Now we can have all Wikipedia entries read by Peter Jones, Morgan Freeman or Darth Vader.

I imagine this is for video site's that still have a lot of flv's which they'll never reencode but want to work on devices that don't have flash player.

No other than that it's meant to be used in much the same way and has some of the same developers working on it. This might help you: https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/blob/master/FAQ.md

At some point in the "future [unicorn icon]" sure. But the design today is around the porting of C and C++ apps the web. The feature you're talking about is meant for integrating with the browser. It could allow emulating a v

No. GC access is a feature that they may possibly add at some undisclosed point in the future. (Just like it was with asm.js via Object Types IIRC) but it's not an explicit design consideration. No where does it say that it's inte

That is not the plan. WebAssembly is not some holy grail universal bitecode intended for every language. It is intended for C and C++ developers to be able run their code in a performant way on the web.

Yes. WebAssembly like asm.js is intended for porting C/C++ apps to the web. That said compiled languages should work if compilers add support for generating WebAssembly.

I don't really care why they removed them. I just don't want to jump through hoops just to use yet another desktop OS.

My only problem with the design is the lack of maximize minimize and close buttons in the windows. I could care less if it looks like Mac or Windows or whatever I just need to have those three buttons otherwise I'll just use my phone i

To further clarify SIMD.js (along WebAssembly's SIMD.js hooks) will change this. Right now you can still port GraphicsMagick to emscripten you'd just have to accept a performance hit on the parts that rely on SIMD.

This sounds to me like Mozilla is getting impatient with Servo. Servo was more than just a parallel browser engine it was the only new web engine not based off of decade old codebase. It was a statement that it's feasible to hold off o

Adblockers reduce the amount of requests a page makes, the amount of resources dom elements use up and the amount of malware that gets served to users. Being served static ads or sponsored content (already happening anyway) is still an imp

Well the over all problem here is that today only Apple and Samsung even make money on Smartphones. Not Sony, not HTC, not Motorola, not not LG, not Xiaomi, not Huawei neither of those make money from selling phone hardware. If they can&#x2

Yeah that's me I'm waiting for them to come out with one that's a replacement for a phone not some unjustifiably expensive accessory for a phone. That or just make phones smaller. My favorite flip phone is smaller than even t

Walmart yeilds quite a bit of market control. I'm not sure on the specifics though but they are a powerful retail force that's wrapped around many lives in the U.S.

As far as I can tell their market control is limited to just their devices which though still significant isn't enough for a breakup to make sense to me. That's not too say nothing should be done to prevent abuse of the control th

The only problem that I see is that our government didn't breakup companies more often. At&t needs to be broken up by region again. Along with Monsanto, Walmart, Comcast, Verizon, Google, Facebook and Microsoft.

Ultimately, the web is centralized because the architecture of the internet (which it's built on) is created that way. In essence users aren't part of the network the way servers are they are simply clients connected through a ISP

People are hyping up webassembly way too much. Don't get me wrong it's going to be awesome being able to compile C++ and C programs that run on the Web runtime. But it's not going to be without it's own issues. For one d

My Nexus 6 from only a couple of years back however doesn't have Nougat and doesn't look like it's going to. It still work great though.

If they are caught they could: * Drop the product from the store completely. * Put a Warning Misleading Listing stamp on the listing. * Penalize the seller in the results.
