For me it was easy to configure and use. But IMHO is a big game changer for Emacs, so was surprised not seeing a talk about it in the conf.

No talk on lsp-mode / eglot?

GPT-3 can be seen as only a glorified Markov chain fed with the thoughts of millions of persons evolved through the human generations but... 1- maybe in some ways we as individuals also are one, and 2- it seems to provide something like a t

Other advantages over BEAM: Static typing, multiple languages with a WASM target available, live migration of process to the browser.

the C code is compiled to WASM bytecodes, they are interpreted in a WASM VM. If the C function crash, it does it inside the VM, so the crash is contained.

Note, the Go model falls short against the Erlang/Lunatic one. You can't externally kill a goroutine at arbitrary points (you need to cancel them with a cancel chan / context with manual checking). You can't prioritize a

I think the Lunatic architecture can enable shared memory regions between processes and between processes and host in addition to the erlang-like shared nothing approach. That would be an advantage over (non-NIF) erlang for some use-cases.

So asynchronous message passing is faster than syscalls? Andy Tanenbaum laughs last.

you compare stats, but there is an immeasurable dimension: heart.

Say what you want about Marx, but his prediction about increasing concentration of Capital was right on the spot.

not possible, letsencrypt and the rest of CA's can't emit an SSL certificate for a private address.

You are right, maybe the browser UX should have been to mark sites as: - "Not secure" for HTTP - "Low security" for HTTPS encrypted but not authenticated (MITM still possible) - "High security" for HTTPS encryp

For devices not connected to internet, the choices are: - HTTP access, insecure and some browser functionality is unavailable for pages/SPA's served over HTTP. - HTTPS and tell the user (maybe in a previous HTTP page before a redi

Erlang minimum process memory (heap+stack) is about 2472 bytes in 64bit systems.

just a question: how much memory a wasm process in lunatic consumes as minimum?
260.
by nahuel0x 6y ago
This is the way forward. A wasm-instance-per-actor architecture enables: - Actor prioritization - Actor pausing - Killing actors at arbitrary points - Actor serialization / migration - per Actor GC (internal to them) - Multiple languag

what about using rust for scripting but compiled to wasm, so beavy can (hot-re)load wasm modules?

You download code to run on your computer. You can't audit all of it. So, there is only two non-exclusive options: A- Trust the source or an auditing third party (source signatures, apt, App Store, etc) B- Run it on a sandbox, optional

yes, but this process is running inside a single individual. As above, so below.
