well no... it’s type checked because it’s transpiled to a function

no, but it BECOMES javascript after transpile time

and i think this is the point; runtime vs compile time! similar reasons that people love the popular new type systems... if it compiles, it probably works or you get an error rather than pushing that later and possibly not catching it

that as the case may be, id say that was in spite of the “stringy code”. the point (i think) is that this, and JSX are functionally the same thing, but there are some very large issues with doing this in a string. *edit: clarity

Early 2000s: The main problem with that is there is no single JavaScript/HTML community. Imagine trying to get IE, Netscape, Opera and every flavor of embedded HTML viewer together.

someone mentioned that it’s random, but i feel like a PRNG seed would make it deterministic?

someone explained above that it’s just a bunch of “tiles” (assume they’re premade), so it’s a fairly simple matrix. it would be much less to transfer than custom maps for example, where clients download a large payload at the start of the g

couple that with some mirrors edge like free running mechanic. maybe a team vs 1 chase so all players would be running toward the same thing. reminiscent of a chase scene from a movie through an unfamiliar city, where a dead end could be ju

that was my thought as well. in the section about the down sides, they do mention though that they should be able to run anything that compiles to web assembly. they specifically call out rust and go. wasm really has quite a lot of interest

i would assume that the positive results still get reported somewhere in the paper? so other people could still pick up on it in the future. if they’re positive enough then the drug company will fund another study with that as the primary o

certainly shouldn’t be okay with it, but if arbitrary people in a 100km radius were effected rather than just miners, yes that would be worse, because their “decision” to remain in the area is further removed from the problem than the decis

or use your power as a consumer to vote with your wallet, which is almost always the overall response on HN to someone complaining about a monopoly it just so happens that it’s real easy with content!

well then ignore fisa courts because the US just does whatever the hell it wants with non-US citizens. that makes the point even more prescient

well, that’s basically already happened. with its strict adherence to GNU, and with the truly phenomenal number of distros based on debian (especially if you include ubuntu derived distros, but ubuntu is so different these days that idk if

Australia: where the govt spends $40bn on broadband infrastructure and we still only get 100/40 unlimited for $79 (with an ISP with decent peering; you can get it cheaper but nooooo) (you can get 250/100 but that caps you at 3TB a

i’d imagine that at its core, all the DOM access will be just another WASM call, and WASM has no concept of objects AFAIK? it would be up to each language to represent those bindings however it likes. i don’t think the functions would even

well, the article said that amazon noticed pings to c&c servers in its beijing datacentre. it did also say that these were more sophisticated hardware attacks but didn’t make it clear if these chips were also found

the truly matters part i think needs at least 1 level of “but why”... okay they pay for it, but why do they pay for it? that’s the important thing... okay, it pays your salary and gives freedom, but why do you care about the product? what i

but why would you? blockchain is a fine solution; why reinvent it? replace POW with POA and there are very few reasons not to use a blockchain here

id say because it’s a tool purpose built to provide a distributed ledger between untrusted (or in this case semi trusted maybe) parties... git is not a tool thats built for that. if you reverse the argument, explain why git is a better solu

current projects are a lot easier if you can use modern syntax that will eventually be supported in future projects, and which can be transpiled in either way

there are certainly better ways to contribute, but i’m not sure it’s nitpicking. it seems like this issue is pretty close to the network’s core values and reason for existing: getting away from centralisation, censorship, big companies, etc
