Essentially no new sandbox capabilities are being added for wasm in the browser compared to JavaScript and that's not changing anytime soon. This shiny new stuff is about wasm for security reasons on desktop, embedded/IOT, Cloud s

Before the engine I'm sure all ten search results would have been about Waiting for Godot though.

If Beeper Cloud uses a Mac in the middle then I would have assumed that is actually permitted, as its presumably a legitimate iMessage client and some software to forward your messages after that. It seems similar to the parallel of iOS bui

html or css is less total power in exchange for being better at some specific things. If html can reasonably do X then it's probably better at doing X than doing it js. If that rule of thumb isn't true then there's no point f

I didn't understand the rules until most of the way through the game and I still won against the bot. I'm not clear if its really doing anything better than playing randomly based on that.

It's definitely just about number of countries. It's a reasonable choice for a game in isolation but also it would be a lot more complicated to find distances of a path that only passes through a list of countries (including conve

I'm thinking it's maybe it's "too obvious" for you that makes you misunderstand the point. It's just: - Look at these big-O, see that pop front isn't O(1) - Here's a proposed pop front that is O(1) (m

Ownership is registered in the US and part of the sale is a "title search" to check that and then update the registered title when the sale is executed (both handled by an attorney). The case of title insurance is only where somet

Does the notary provide the title insurance (as in: if it turns out later that the seller didn't actually own the house, the real owner shows up and proves it, the bank and new buyers have their money covered)? That would make more sen

The question the grandparent comment wrote was "Explain why popfront would not be implemented in the current vector in O(1) by simply pointing the front pointer forward one element?" Answering that with "there are tradeoffs a

Ok, I'll bite. It's a good book, but how does it relate to programming?

"Something must be done, and this is something". I don't really see the evidence that the 'odd' startups are more likely to succeed, and even if that is the true it doesn't obviously lend itself to the strategy

Even top journals in hard sciences sometimes publish papers that aren't actually peer reviewed based solely on the authors credentials. I once heard a National Academy member claim they get some number of papers automatically published

I think the reality is that companies like Microsoft, Google, Apple want to write C++ but safer. The reason you're seeing Herb and Google's Carbon on the "ok fine well make a new language which has C++ interop instead of fixi

I'm 100% sure the complaint isn't made about OpenText because no one is taking about OpenText and being talked about is a prerequisite to being complained about. I don't think anyone will defend OpenText's name as a good

Also notably the rural/urban divide is even wider, so even taking the data at face value it appears that it also be justified that high earners are more likely to be in urban areas, and that high-earner rural residents are more likely

I pay for YT premium and Ads are still my #1 complaint about YT. Partly this is by design, where it seems to decide that a creator having a "merch" ad integration doesn't count as an ad. Which might be understandable (but sti

You're suggesting that their EU sales shouldn't pay EU income at all, rather US income taxes instead? Usually the criticism of this is the opposite direction, that sales in Germany should pay taxes in Germany.

I intended the logo example because it has the same property: someone who makes 100 terrible logos is still pretty useless compared to someone who makes 10 good ones. But very often you have two people that are outputting 100 vs 10 and the

So the thing is that volume of output is still important even in creative fields; if you run a logo design business and A makes the logos that satisfies 10 companies and B makes the logos for 1 company that is a pretty direct business outco

While that looks like a nice small-ish tower PC it doesn't seem like it's in the same class as an rPI on a lot of axes, it seems half way between an rPI and a full desktop tower.

I think the criticism of saying "we're not even thinking of a replacement" is fair, the standard dodge "we don't have anything to announce at this time" which is enough to avoid the Osborne Effect.

Honestly I don't see this conversation going much differently if Chrome was it's own company. Like Apple and Mozilla, Chrome would get paid based on how many queries it sent to Google, then they do a launch that reduces queries an
