That's the thing, you can't make a falsifiable hypothesis here, because "bilingual advantage" is subjective, bordering on defining the purpose of life to become objective.

by zzzcpan 7y ago
No consensus on "existence of bilingual advantage", which is inherently subjective and unscientific claim. There doesn't need to be any consensus on it whatsoever, it's not science.

> "bilinguals have been argued to develop superior executive functioning compared with monolinguals" This is the one I find very problematic. They made up an entire unscientific claim to disprove.

That point is actually about emotions. I think what it means is that children are only developing brain circuity related to emotions and so develop emotional associations with the words in a second language, while adults already did and can

Luckily, I do believe that DNS query data has value, that's the reason I'm arguing against anti-privacy crap like DoH and have been since the beginning. If my arguments don't make sense to you, it's either because you la

It's only one part of the story (scheduler) and not even good enough idea considering non-locality overhead.

No, work stealing is pretty high overhead.

And he's not even right. There is no hassle only if you take plenty of risk and rely on a random crappy acme client to do it well, its dependencies to always work, disks, OSes, servers not failing, acme protocol not changing and not de

I have read the article, when it came out actually, it's merely about type mapping rules to an intermediate common representation. And it absolutely doesn't imply that interface types give you everything for high level interfaces

by zzzcpan 7y ago
What you are describing is more like __asm__("") in C, not an interface for application developers. Those are still required for every single target language because of the mismatch between the levels of abstractions between those

Not really programming languages, but Turing complete: HTML and CSS. Useful for business students and allow to ease in into more traditional programming eventually, even if it's Javascript.

Well, there is less drop with more copper, so it's more about costs. Cost of cables, DC-DC converters, power supplies and their efficiency determine optimal configuration. Probably going as high as cheap mass market DC-DC converters an

There are maybe a few hundred people on earth who are in a position to embed wasm into something, how is that not niche?

by zzzcpan 7y ago
WASM is not a startup, it's a very niche tech and pushing it to other niches as a "platform" needs a lot of investment and buy in from professionals and management working in those niches. Not that the idea itself of an inter
