That's a lot of complicated, non-portable steps, with many subtle semantics that can easily be implemented incorrectly. Running the code in a Wasm sandbox sounds a whole lot easier and less error prone. You do have to trust the Wasm en

That's exactly the time to unionize! The employer has limited leverage to bust any union efforts. When the employment market is weak and you are scrounging for a job it's a lot easier to threaten/scare everyone into submissio

A live stream of combat between two major countries, in the middle of Europe, right next to the biggest nuclear power plant in Europe, and it's on fire. And we all thought the COVID experience was surreal...

There is a whole "OSINT" (open source intelligence) community doing just that and publishing counts. They also try to geolocate the images via terrain and buildings using maps, satellite images, etc to disambiguate. Pretty odd way

There are countless images and videos on Telegram/Twitter of abandoned and captured Russian vehicles, including many not used by Ukrainian forces. Some of them are surely staged for Psyops, but by sheer volume plenty of them must be a

ARM has extensive IP and know how. They could build up and sell high performance RISC-V IP/cores now and prevent RISC-V focused companies like SiFive from gaining a foothold by denying them revenue and investment. Alas, that would prob

European countries are also keen to avoid a point of no return. If Russia feels too much pressure and goes into complete isolation from the West there is nothing too lose anymore and the conflict can easily escalate beyond Ukraine. US/

Well, no. They would be cut off from other countries/ISPs that drop the BGP routes. But Russia could just allocate IPs as they see fit inside their network and coordinate with friendly countries on routing arrangements. Although things

It's absolutely possible, it would just come with an enormous impact on citizens and the economy. The result would be exploding prices, shortages and rationing of gas, potentially even power cuts at night or reduced availability of pow

True, but heavy sanctions haven't been able to destroy Irans economy. After a harsh adjustment period and an initially tanking economy the systems will adjust. And China will probably welcome Russian business with open arms.

Sure they can. If they declare war and officially enter the conflict. That wouldn't be a NATO action though, it's a defensive pact. And it won't happen. Although... the last few days have shown extraordinary events that I nev

Can someone familiar with the banking system chime in here? The announcements say that only selected banks are targeted. Won't they just funnel transactions through other Russian banks that are not banned? I also read that the previous

I only used Haskell for small projects. I admire the language, but I found error handling to be one of the weakest and most inconsistent elements. To the point of being annoying and time consuming. Several popular libraries I used threw exc

I can recommend the related talk "It's Time for Operating Systems to Rediscover Hardware". [1] It explores how modern systems are a set of cooperating devices (each with their own OS) while our main operating systems still pr

That's outdated information, Hetzner launched a cloud service a few years ago. Provisioning of cloud instances is pretty much instant.

This is the hardest lesson I had to learn in my consulting work. It is is especially important if you are not familiar with the full context - which is almost never the case. The main insight for me was that yes, things can be "wrong&q

I really recommend tackling this. Many EU companies are increasingly concerned about data location, with some going into full panic mode. > Metrics, logs, and volume snapshots end up on servers in the USA This will unfortunately prevent

It's notable that Firefox performance is a lot better on Wayland. Depending on the compositor of course. Which leads to a big misconception that many users have, even here on Hackernews. "Wayland doesn't support Y" or

None of the things you mentioned are reasonable default behaviours, and are easy one liners. You don't need a library for any of that.

A little bit of an addendum: what will make or break WASM is language support. If enough languages get official or high quality wasm targets, it has a bright future. Sadly progress has stalled a little bit here, partially due to very slow p
