WebAssembly is in its infancy.

by jules 9y ago
WebAssembly is unlikely to have this issue because it has to run on the web and browsers don't want to break backwards compatibility. Even with these issues the JVM has actually been quite successful as a language platform.

Using the same platform for everything has advantages, e.g. code sharing between client/desktop/mobile/server, mastering 1 standard library as opposed to several, seamless serialisation of data between platforms. From what I&

WebAssembly might be even bigger than the web. People already use the V8 JS engine server side, and make client side apps with Electron. WebAssembly could become the universal cross platform low level VM.

If you don't find shakes appetising you could eat the berries separately, and make a salad with the greens and plant protein, and eat some almonds, and skip the bananas. Eating it in this form will also be more filling with fewer calor

Who said anything about telling others at work to make themselves more attractive? We're talking about people making themselves more attractive, such as men who purposely avoid appearing sensitive, and why men do that. You said: > B

Not a very big distinction. In some circles any defense of evolution would be treated similarly, no matter how reasonable. The beef is fundamentally with what was said, not how it was said. What tipped me off was that almost nobody who crit

This isn't just about the workplace. It is about behavior in general and where this behavior comes from. Even feminists have admitted to me and other feminists have written articles describing that they find the opposite of what they a

You can enforce political correctness but you cannot enforce respect or attraction.

What makes you think you can socially engineer people to appreciate sensitive men? The root of sensitivity is not a respect producing trait for men is because women do not find that sexually desirable on average. Properties that make men re

The motivation for the Hessian is the same as for dividing by the second derivative. Suppose we want to solve f(x) = 0. Taylor expand f(x) around the current iterate (a) f(x) =~ f(a) + f'(a)(x-a) We want f(x) = 0 so, 0 =

Newton's method with a line search is the go-to algorithm for convex optimisation if the dimension of the problem is not too large.

Do generics really add much compilation time? They sure do in C++ but that is because type checking C++ generics is based on substitution into the method body, which can have other generic calls inside of, which can lead to an exponential c

What are the very real downsides that generics have?

Computers will undoubtedly become so good that computer + pro human would be like pro human + amateur, where the amateur has the final say about which move to make. The best strategy is to just do what the computer says.

The game was combinatorial search from the start, so you could argue that it did not degrade the game, but it dispelled the illusion that it was deeper and something more than a sport.

There are two differences: 1) Groups have an inverse operation, categories don't. 2) You can compose any two elements in a group, whereas in a category the input and output types have to match up.
592.
by jules 10y ago
A category abstracts the concept of function composition. You need two things: an identity element, and a composition operation. For functions the identity element is the identity function id(x)=x and the composition operation is function c

This is what's wrong with politics today. Every question gets moralised. Every opinion gets evaluated on a scale from angel to bigot instead of true to false.

LibFIRM's sea of nodes representation is a bit different in that nodes are tied to a basic block, if I understand it correctly. That would indeed make control flow sensitive analysis easy. Their sea of nodes representation does not hav

That gifted students will be bored and not develop to their fullest extent, and perhaps more importantly, not develop the discipline to work hard in their formative years, is an argument for tailoring education to the student's abili

If you are happy to live in an expat bubble then it works, but if you want to connect with the locals it doesn't. Most friend groups won't change their language to english to include you.

It feels like the kind of pain when you injure your testicles, but you feel it in your eyes. It is similar to the kind of pain you feel when you press your thumb and index finger between the bones in your forearm (under your wrist).

Warning signals do reduce damage though: if you hadn't gotten the warning then maybe you would have continued burning your eye. I certainly would have continued looking at the UV light if I hadn't felt any pain.

Is this inherent in Go's concurrency model or just a limitation of the standard library? Couldn't the standard library provide a function that takes a buffer pool as an argument instead of a buffer?
