That is a possiblity, but hopefully that isn't what happens either.

My gut feeling is that the built in GC will either be complex and difficult to implement, each garbage collected language will use the new facilities in incompatible ways or languages will still end up rolling their own gc for some reason.

There is the hope that in time webassembly can and will be implemented directly in silicon.

If you want a proper relational database, sqlite would suit better. There are GUI tools to work with sqlite database files and sqlite has csv import and export. But that won't help much if you already have a large CSV you just need to

I agree libreoffice calc is better, but it does still munge some data.

Large CSV files do occur 'in the wild'. Whether they should or not is beside the point. Sometimes CSV is the only option to import or export data from ancient 'Enterprise' horror systems, purely because it was easy for t

I disagree with you there. For organisations that expect support for software over a longer period a recurring support contract is better. Otherwise you can end up supporting their never ending requests for free. Or worse they just choose s

Nice work. This'll make things easier for non technical people to not mess up data entry by abusing Excel. Is there a means to configure and enforce validation functions/regex for columns? Like some kind of python api perhaps? It

I think it's worth appreciating there's a good chance the founder feels threatened by this kind of talk on a regular basis and perhaps they may even be experiencing uncertainty around their own decision making process or feeling o

What would a CPU instruction set look like to minimise energy costs for server workloads? And do spinning hard drives use more energy than SSDs?

Wow. That's mega impressive to be able to act as sighted while apparently being partially blind. I now have even more respect for her.

Is there any point in inventing something new investing your own time and money if cheap knockoffs can be produced overseas and imported with no consequence? Patents just aren't enforcable in the globalized world of today. Not to menti

Yes it blooming well should. Culture is important. Not to mention puppeteers will be in demand in an age of VR chat and avatars.

The z88dk toolchain supports the MZ-80K as a target. So you could write new software in C or any other language that can output C code.

Chaos can certainly be destructive. But chaos can also be creative.

Cocaine and opioids should remain banned. Marijuana is almost as harmful as tobacco and should be treated in similar terms to it.

Yup, I know what you mean. It's no wonder we've regressed technologically over the last 20 years with such protectionism. What happened to the disrupt capitalist mentality so praised in sillicon valley?

Sure, but it's predictably sunny 24/7 in space. Electricity generation would become stupidly cheap. With that you could turn all that CO2 into all sorts of useful stuff. e.g. food or building materials or indeed rocket fuel.

If we're now talking about blocking sunlight from space, why not block it with solar panels? The power can be beamed back to Earth to drive carbon capture devices, along with powering AC and everything else. I wouldn't have a prob

I think the key factors to consider when talking about the best way to regard psychedelic substances is what potential benefits or harms do they have at the individual or societal level, for example an overdose that causes permanent debilit

Is source level debugging a possibility with this or does it only cover breakpoints on .wat text?

by nuc1e0n 3y ago
This is very cool indeed. I might learn golang just for this.
293.
by nuc1e0n 3y ago
Maybe. But is this like how Bananas are radioactive? i.e. almost not at all? How carcinogenic would the equivalent amount of sugar be?
294.
by nuc1e0n 3y ago
Ok. That's a fair point. I agree more evidence is required. But a hypothesis, such as that there was a big bang, can be proposed regardless of evidence.

by nuc1e0n 3y ago
At may seem obvious to me but maybe it's not to everyone. Clouds are white. i.e. They reflect the light from the sun back into space. Soil and rocks are generally not white, so absorb more heat. We should be trying to make more clouds
296.
by nuc1e0n 3y ago
No of course you couldn't. There would need to be evidence produced and not just some arbitrary beliefs. Some people believe all sorts of things right?

I won't miss it. It was good for its time but we now have better alternatives for the same purpose.

The concept of the big bang was first proposed by a priest. Recent measurements taken by the James Webb space telescope do not fit with the theory and suggest that it is inaccurate.

Naa, it's too far away. It'll be a cool light show though.

The thing that has struck me about all these sorting algorithms is before you can run them you already need to have all the items to be sorted, which may involve you waiting to receive them. So the act of sorting ends up being on the critic
