Never mind that this example parses and compiles the wasm code at runtime, so it's probably not faster at all to takes chunks of JS and port it to wasm if you're going to run it this way.

But low level languages usually are more verbose. High level languages can afford to be more terse. The WASM code looks very similar to actual x86 assembly to me, and with a name like 'web assembly', that seems right.

It's also an incredibly easy position to take when all you have to do is say it's wrong. I think that's what they are getting at.

They make money by selling pharmaceuticals. There's a difference.

Wow a "cure". Wouldn't that be nice. It's equally likely it could be used to develop a super expensive treatment of questionable effectiveness.

Great blog post. It's been wonderful to see rust take off in the space and the approaches the folks in the embedded wg and ecosystem have come up with. The cortex-m starter projects, embedded-hal tying the ecosystem together, and vario

If by "help" you mean, make a pharmaceutical company potentially millions or even billions of dollars, then sure.

Maybe someone can explain, why would I pay for something like this?

It's not realistic to expect to go to school for 4 or 5 years and then work for the next 30 without learning anything new. Or rather, not if you care about advancing and making more money. Maybe I'm lucky that I actually enjoy it,

A B Eng covers so much "basic" knowledge that you never really have time to specialize at anything. Doing physics and math courses is hardly becoming specialized in SE. It takes a long time and years of work afterwards to become s

Me too. The company benefits in the long run. I've never had any complaints. In general I've found no one ever complains if you spend time learning.

This is a very pessimistic world view. I found in the engineering faculty that the subjects we were taught were very broad. However, I continued to learn on my own in my free time after I got my degree. I've been doing this consistentl

It's not just unwrap, it's anything that ends up using format!. It gets used in production all the time, not to mention cases where you know an Option is a Some-variant so unwrap'ing is safe.

Yeah, it's not explained at all in the article how they are getting that kind of data out of google and linking it to a phone number/address. I've certainly never seen anyones browsing history on the analytics I have set up o

Cool, thanks for this. Rust/Swift's variant is arguably a little different (because it works with a sum type) but I think the influence is pretty clear here.

Rust had it before Swift did, I remember when the ? proposal came down the pipe to replace the try! macro and Swift didn't have it yet

So interesting that a few years after Rust introduced the optional chaining operator, it's been filtered through the lens of many major languages out there. I think Rust was the first to do it (if you don't count Haskell's mo

Rust has a lot of core team members that no longer work at Mozilla, so this isn't really true today. Also, C and C++ are some of the most widely used languages in the world. I wouldn't call them niche. Edit: according to the TIOBE

Thanks for posting this, I used to compete in bodybuilding and tore my left quad tendon 6 months ago. It's just now really starting to feel like a normal leg again. The recovery sucks, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

The lesson is you can't compare just the language parts of the setup without taking a holistic perspective. just PHP is not sufficient to make a 'hello world' page, you need an entire web server in the form of apache too

I had a preonic and felt this way too. Columnar staggered seems to be the most friendly layout, and a split board so that you hands aren't shoved together. My setup is a split 40% keyboard with a columnar staggered layout (corne), I&#x

If you have a keyboard flashable with QMK you can make a key activate a layer that has a numpad on it. If you really like customizability and a split layout, a keyboard flashed with QMK is going to serve you much better, IMO.
