   That would take quite the effort to build, but I bet lifting to LLVM first might work: https://github.com/trailofbits/mcsema

   WASM can be good for other things too. It is portable and fairly easy to target. It's like asking "why emscripten of you have plenty of other languages to choose from, LLVM is good for executables"

   See http://webassembly.org/docs/non-web/ . Portability. For example, I can use Rust on the JVM: https://github.com/cretz/asmble/tree/master/examples/rust-re...

   There are some shortcuts and other possible ways to represent the same code/items using, as your link mentions, the linear representation and import/export shortcuts. While not the canonical text spec, I find the grammar at https

   Some might think, myself included, that some of the problems you are stating is caused by build system dogma, e.g. "stop building build systems, other projects aren't moving, so it makes you esoteric". Current build systems s

    I think the author is looking for written documentation and reference material, not a presentation that may be outdated and not apply to this situation. I concur with the author, this should be available in clear unambiguous docs. Instead,

    I don't think a doc about how they operated two years ago is still applicable is it? Especially since this is a recent "decision" by Apple. The article put it best: > they should say explicitly and unambiguously what they’

    Unless something has changed that I missed, you can install extensions (I complained when the default args messed this up [0]). For example, I built something that uses puppeteer and an extension to capture audio and video of a tab [1]. It&

    Yup, completely agree. The "legal bullying" I was referring to was the threat of legal action which is enough to scare most.

    I think you misread. I didn't offer a solution. I just mentioned inconsistency and the reason why. Your reading is purposefully uncharitable and makes it impossible to have these kinds of discussions rationally.

    I've seen numbers on proposed download speed (~1gbps) and latency (~35ms) [0], but I can't find anything on proposed upload speed. Any ideas? I know offerings like Hughes net have claimed 3mbps. 0 - https://arstechnica.

    Quite strange it appears on this large item and not on hardly any other item in the store, especially those that are easier to shoplift. I believe it is to prevent those using government baby formula subsidies from reselling. Edit: after re

    This is the type of dangerous question that leads to interminable lists of laws. If there is any problem and we don't know of another solution that works as well, let's go with the one we do know. It also happens to be the easiest

    I don't disagree with anything you wrote nor do I see how it contradicts anything I wrote. Just because it works doesn't make it right and running to the government and using the long arm of the law IMO should be reserved for egre

    Imagine if they threw you in jail for it. I bet you'd think even harder and we'd definitely get rid of plastic bags.

    In the Metroplex the plastic bag law was repealed after bag manufacturers sued the city for unlawful taxes on containers. It didn't have majority citizen support anyways, was seen as a way to complicate purchasing on smaller retailers,

    Aside from actual first sale doctrine and the like, morally, I am curious what doesn't seem fair about not discriminating against how the purchaser uses what they bought? What doesn't seem fair is you getting to say what your prod

    It happens in non-member based stores as well, e.g. Kroger has labels on formula asking anyone that sees it for sell elsewhere to call a number. I assume they just do the legal bullying thing as those reselling often probably can't aff

    Fun aside, I once wrote a JVM AOT [0]. Instead of compiling to low level code and building my own GC and runtime, I just transpiled to Go. And it worked, but the Go compiler couldn't handle it well[1] so I started trimming identifier n

    I find this inconsistency interesting as well. It's like if you used a "flat" GTK theme and avoided traditional UI elements like MDIs, menus, and toolbars, you'd be divorced enough from native to leave that criticism be

    Yes, I think we all feel it. Every UI lib has something wrong: C++ sucks and is hard to iface w/ other langs (Qt, wxWidgets), not enough widgets (IUP, libui), not native enough in my OS (GTK), carries a full browser (Electron, nw.js),
