Yeah, I was referring to pnacl (as in Portable Native Client), but that is a very good point about a technology that is obviously still going strong all these years later.

"Why should WebAssembly succeed where previous attempts (such as Adobe Flash and Google Portable Native Client) have failed?" Failed???? Excuse me, I haven't even BEGUN to scratch the surface of the awesomeness that is pnacl

Exactly. The very idea of investing in a unicorn business is that it will either corner the market or go bankrupt, is it not? How anyone can imagine that they can corner the market in this industry is beyond me!

There is a semantic quibble at play here that actually makes all the difference in the world when it comes to discussions about QM that inevitably end up in pseudo-intellectual balderdash. A strictly local physical description can only invo

Instead of invoking the idea of action-at-a-distance and then reflexively prepending the "spooky" tag to it, why doesn't anyone ever ask what a purely local physical description would entail, and then prepend something like &

I've read most of this thread, and have been feeling increasingly more like Nick Cage's character in 8mm as he followed the trail of clues until he finally got to that guy with the heavy accent who put Steve Buscemi into the woodc

Free, online operating systems that "install" in less than 2 seconds and never ask for any payment are the wave of the future. Oh, and did I mention the integrated AI? My web-based implementation of Unix: https://www.u

I am starting to get a (what I guess you could call mostly logic-based) AI system off the ground. The first thing I needed to do was create a serious environment that could host it. The necessary attributes of this environment are these:

Cool! Although... I don't know how much the entire world can benefit from first-world tech innovation, I do think there is quite a wild frontier out there for people who are serious about pushing forward with the whole AI/roboti

The moral of the site: If you are a broke college grad who can't seem to find the perfect job, then just throw up a fairly standard wordpress/jquery site that boldly claims to be the ultimate job seeker's solution. As long a

If you think you think those things seriously qualify as "foundations", well, you're just wrong in my opinion. At least for my purposes, the only important foundational tools are the language (JavaScript) and the runtime envi

Do you mean: I typed: 'rm /' and the prompt never returned? This didn't actually delete anything, you can always just do a ^C to get the prompt back when it gets stuck like that. I wouldn't consider that a "b

Speaking of things running in places where they were not necessarily meant to run, I have pretty much ported all of Unix to run as an HTML5 app in a browser tab. The whole thing is just a steaming pile of javascripty goodness. It currently
