Webkit only has 10k LOC specific to WebAssembly because like every other browser it reuses the javascript JIT. That's an incredibly tiny part of the entire browser.

But why is it adding their patent grant which only protects facebook to non facebook projects like atom? Should every company add their own company patent grant? Why not simply add a general patent grant that protects all users and companie

If by political correctness you mean the basic human rights of the constitution Of course we could add an exception to the constitution that excludes lab grown children. Well, unfortunately gene manipulation is eugenics unless you are willi

Unfortunately in my experience I don't know what type of x I'm supposed pass into to. I either have to guess what x is out of a infinite search space or I have to look at the implementation but unfortunately it also calls some oth

C++ shows that in theory you can fix any flaw in an existing programming language as long as you maintain backwards compatibility by simply adding more features. The only thing you cannot change are implicit defaults (e.g. pass by value is

>Using make, you can standardise a lot of this. If you set up a coding standard that after you clone a repo, "make dep" should grab anything the project requires, then developers don't initially need to know whether that&#

The main function is 111 lines long but only roughly 30 lines of that are setup up code. The remaining 81 lines are the business logic that happens when a control has been interacted with. Since when does initialising the GUI framework incl

Offtopic: Why is paid busywork or a job guarantee more acceptable than basic income? Apparently the risk of basic income is that people end up only playing video games. But aren't video games the definition of busywork?

Words mean whatever the people want them to mean. Just pick whatever word you want. That's how language evolves.

It will cause inflation at the bottom of the economc and reduce it at the top. We call the difference between the top and the bottom inequality. Imagine you earn 24k in a very cheap part of the US. You now have 36k. Most of the cost gets ab

Not this bikeshedding crap again. Obviously there is an infinite amount of demand for jobs because there is no lower bound income (how much demand is there for an employee that doesn't cost anything?). What's the point of more job

Because nobody bothers with "OOP" or "FP" because there is not a single cannonical implementation of these that everyone agrees on. What you're talking about has nothing to do with neither. Any language that has gen

Gene editing beyond treating diseases quickly boils down to doing animal experiments on humans. Imagine that the gene editor made a mistake and now the test subject is missing the left ear. How do you deal with these "defects"? Of

But you don't have to support only S2/S3/S4 if that were the case then it'd be easy. The paper mentioned comparing 350 different devices. Groups can't gather if they are spread out across hundreds of devices. Not to

I used to make a joke that phones will be the future in datacenters because nobody is designing ARM SoCs for servers and those that do made them perform worse than phones. The paper completely ignores the lack of ECC, hardware reliability a

by everheardofc 9y ago
Yeah except you're not going to reverse engineer the GPUs of a dozen SoCs just to save a few dollars on a beowulf cluster. Even in the best case you will reverse engineer one commonly used GPU and then pick phones based on that.

That's incredibly inefficient. S3 has to be reliable and store the data in a redundant way. Filecoin will have to do the same because losing a host happens all the time. Also S3 is incredibly expensive if you factor in outgoing traffic
