Yep. To put some numbers on this, transaction fees are currently about 1% of the block reward[1]. As of the next halving next year, transaction fees would have to grow by 50x to make up for the lower block reward. Bitcoiners I talk to eithe

The building was in the news again last week because it was leased as a sort of “WeWork for crypto” and had to shut down given the market downturn. https://www.coindesk.com/web3/2023/01/03/web3-co-working

I came here to say rice cooker as well. I got a $15 one years ago and it's still my most-used appliance. What high end one do you have? I've been considering an upgrade given that I use it so often.

There is a SharedMemoryBuffer, but it’s a web platform thing, not available in out-of-browser runtimes like wasmtime or wasmer or wasmedge (which Docker uses).

I think you could share an address space by using the same SharedArrayBuffer to back the linear memory of both? I could be wrong here, I haven’t done it, but I thought this was the reason for supporting atomics in the first place. https:&#

“Threading support” in this sense is a bit of a misnomer, it’s really support for thread-safe memory constructs. Creating threads is left up to the runtime. On the web, this is done with WebWorkers, but on the server side I don’t think ther

It seems this is replacing both, in that the wasm module is not run inside of a traditional linux container (at least as far as cgroups go). > Each traditional container gets its own control group as in docker/ee44.... On the other

I’m a fan/user of Pulumi, but this doesn’t feel similar to me. In Pulumi you write code that describes infrastructure, separate from the application layer code you’re deploying. This appears to be using application code to derive infra

I think the Apple rule they're referring to is that if you have an in-app transaction, you're not allowed to reference the fact that the transaction can be made off-app (which would avoid Apple's 30% cut). It's not quite

I did, but I fortunately didn't have $500k to “invest” in a game at the time.

They are using that for cover, but the block goes far beyond that content. I have an account on a smallish, niche community Mastodon instance which is closed to sign-ups. I can’t tweet or DM a message containing a link to my account there.

The pivot from “I am against censorship that goes far beyond the law”[1] to “I get to use censorship to kneecap a competitor because it’s my site now” was almost comically quick. [1] https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status&

If your developers are already familiar with React, I think next makes a lot of sense for a corporate website. When used as a static site generator, you can reduce a lot of complexity over wordpress et al. because you don’t need a database

WASI and Emscripten exist because people want to write code that interacts with the outside world. Your approach is fine if you just want to call into some math functions and are ok writing your own bindings, but that’s not how most people

The information is still relevant to someone who wants to ship wasm code today. AFAIK no browser supports the component model, and interface types never made it past proposal stage in favor of the component model.

There's a lot of complexity in using WebAssembly, but I thought this article did a good job of focusing on one specific point of confusion: why there are multiple compile targets, and what the difference between emscripten and WASI are

The problem all these sites have is that the domain starts as a signal of high quality — either because they are initially exclusive like Medium, or pay high-quality writers to move over. Over time, they regress to the mean and the domain b

And yet Musk is suing the @elonjet guy because someone attacked his car. See what I mean by the irony? https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1603190155107794944?s=20...

Don’t you see the irony here, though? When a very powerful man with a large following “just posts a screenshot”, he is supposed to be unaccountable for the actions his followers take, even if his additional context dog-whistles to his fans

I do give him credit for those things, but the guy is one of the most powerful people in the world and uses that power to bully. He keeps using his position of power to punch down at people who usually don’t deserve it. It’s petty and pathe

Yes, he's not particularly consistent. Still, this was the account he held up as evidence that he was committed to free speech, because he refused to ban it even though he didn't like it. Now it’s banned.

There are some comments in here that verge on assuming bad faith on the part of the companies involved, so I think it's worth pointing out that this is a new law which has been in effect for just over a month. It's been on the way
