Exactly. Web assembly doesn't support basic features like tail calls (neither does java), which are vital for whole classes of languages. This is where silicon excels... at letting you actually implement languages in the best way, inst

What other word should I use to describe a de facto government of America that blatantly, and loudly, refuses to follow the American constitution? This is not my opinion. The courts have agreed with me that religious service is an essential

Absolutely, but the difference is that no one church is dominant in the United States. Even if we were to claim that Catholicism (the largest faction, although not a majority by any means) were the dominant one, within that church there is

The nice thing about being an adult and going to church is that if you don't like it... you don't have to be there? There are many competing churches in the United States. The same cannot be said realistically of social media.

Once the current regime let us go back to church, I deleted my Facebook. It's much better at church. Firstly, they feed me. Secondly, I can say what I think without being censored. It's not even that people all agree with me at ch

Firstly... Any stock vm isa can be linearly compiled if you give up certain optimization. For example, if wa wanted to use a coloring allocator it wouldn't be linear time anymore. That's not a fundamental part of it, just an imple

Nothing needs to run Ina container Containers are just software engineerings latest name for a unix process. Both were designed to achieve similar levels of isolation. In reality,there's no such thing as a container. As far as Linux i

Okay then define a subset of java opcodes supported and then modify the open source hotspot. Look I'm trying to implement a wasm backend into an existing language right now and it could be a lot easier by either making wasm into a real

At some point we need to stop inventing VMs. VMs like Java, .Net, etc, are already good enough. What is the point of yet another VM? The same people who designed web assembly could have taken java bytecode and added new APIs on top. Instead

I don't believe anti-vaxxing is a political issue, yes. WHile conservatives are maligned for being anti-vax, in reality, groups like Hispanics and Blacks (not historically conservative or republican in huge amounts) have the highest ra

Democracies are not 'young'. Rome was a democracy for four hundred years before falling into autocracy and empire. As was Athens and some other Greek cities. Many 'barbarian' tribes were democracies as well. Democracy is

This is canonical syntax in any functional programming language. This is like a Haskell programmer complaining that in most post-haskell languages, the keyword class means an oop type instead a class of types.

How could you possibly say democracy is the most successful government system in history? There is little reason to believe that. These sorts of kitschy phrases being substituted for real discourse is why were here. Democracy is nice, but h

Obama's association with Ayers, his pastors sermons while Obama sat through them, his derision for people clinging to guns and religion were all things very reasonable people could be upset by. You are being purposefully selective in y

It's surprising, because many politicians and many newspapers and magazines spent months publishing articles that such a system was firmly in the realm of crazy conspiracy theories. Stop gaslighting.

Ivermection has backing from credible scientists in India. So does Hydroxchloroquine from credible scientists all over the world. You're just picking and choosing who you call credible.

Well, the US media could report on it and the actors in government that funded GOF research in china, and their political supporters so that they could be voted out of office.

There is a correct truth value to the claim 'SARS-Cov2 leaked from a lab', but the value is currently unknowable, and reasonable debate can be had to the evidence in either direction.

Given that science relies on communities to verify each other's work, it is inherently a political enterprise. Politics is the study of the 'polis', or an organized community. Given that science itself forms an organized comm

The only people who think Trump was the source of the division are out-of-touch liberals. I don't even mean this pejoratively. I just encourage you to look beyond the current predominant media narratives. This society has been breaking

It's time we admit a lot of 'science' was done with the express purpose of contradicting a republican president, and then admit that this is the reason why many conservatives do not trust science and scientists and experts an

It has been incredibly interesting how the antivax movement has suddenly become a right wing thing after years of festering on the left (including not so long ago with our own VP). I mean... I used to live in Marin county, one of the bluest

Except there are still lots of local contractors, plumbers, specialty stores, etc. I don't disagree that Walmart has toxic effects, buy to say that it means there is no local business anymore is a stretch in my view.

Real inflation as measured before the cpi methodology changes in the 90s is likely in the 7-15% range. The government manipulates the basket of goods to 'achieve' low rates. http://www.shadowstats.com/alternate_dat

In my experience, 99% of every app is CRUD. Then there's the 1% that is your differentiation that takes six months to build. To the instrument analogy it's like Beethoven's 5th. Almost anyone can play the beginning on the pia

Yeah, this is written in extremely manipulative language. What was warren buffett's income in 2018? We have income tax, not wealth tax. Plus, a lot of that wealth is likely 'in' his company, which is really just fake money. I
