It's a little buggy, but being both a vim and web fan I like the idea.

With that said, does anyone have insight in how porting something like this works? Are there terminal emulator libraries already for WASM or did they need to make their own?

Vim is an interesting case because unlike terminal programs that run in sequence, vim needs to redraw any part of the screen at any time. It strikes me as being more complicated.

I noticed there are some terminal libraries in there but they have modifications and I don't know enough to know if those are standard or the author needed to invent something.
Our first-born was good at understanding language at an early age. We don't talk much, so I tried to get into the habit of speaking aloud when I was with him, and apparently it worked.

Then one day, as I'm watching him trying to climb a fence at a playground, it occurs to me he was comparably better at intellectual, grown-up activities than actual kid-like activities like getting dirty, climbing dangerous stuff, balancing on rocks, ignoring grown-ups, playing with other kids, etc.

From that point, I tried to back off a little with the grown-up chatter.

I'm happy to say that our following children, although perhaps a little later with the speaking, have been better at the kid stuff. Our first-born did get after it, too. We put him in a Waldorf kindergarten.

So although well-intended, I don't think I had my priorities straight. If you do try to influence your children, you'd better make damn sure your influence is for the better.

Today I would never enroll in a 1000 books before 5 programme. The Waldorf kindergarten was helpful here - they've been thinking about these things for many years, and don't seem to fall as easily for the pseudo-scientific stuff where someone spends a year or two studying whether children respond to specific training (e.g. language), and surprise! yes, they do! Without considering what those children were missing when they had to attend those training sessions, and could have been digging up worms in the garden.

(And yes, I do read with my children, and we probably have more than a hundred books we've bought used over the years, but I consider reading inferior to playing or doing a meaningful activity, like peeling carrots and talking about that.)
I'd say you've seen a bunch of them, like everyone (sigh)
But wouldn't the eastern front in WWII not be in East Asia?

In WWI it makes sense to use the Eastern front when talking about the German/Austro-Hungarian - Russian front, but in WWII that's quite euro-centric.

I believe TNT is pretty stable. In his memoir "Target Ploesti", Leroy Newby tells of an incident where B24s dropped their bombs if they were running out of runway on takeoff - something they would not have got away with if the bombs contained RDX rather than TNT.

It was a hot day, the planes were heavily loaded, and the first to go ran off the runway and burst into flames. Newby's was next, and his pilot refused to go; this was the compromise they worked out.

All true, and in some sense and cases, the speed at which these changes happened was amazing. On the other hand, the current political climate seems different. Roe vs Wade might go away. The welfare state is certainly under attack. Gay rights too, see military.

Maybe this is just the swinging back after a strong push in one direction, and on average we continue on. Or maybe it's a longer-term change of direction. We will see.

Pretty much everything you listed made solid progress during Obama's tenure. I think people are concerned about the current direction.

Sessions rescinded an Obama-era rule on marijuana enforcement[1].

It's entirely likely that abortion will be outlawed in 20 states within 18 months.

Income and wealth inequality continued to rise during Obama's tenure and last year's tax cut shows no sign of that stopping. One could argue that the inequality is natural in a liberal environment, but one can also argue that the rules are stacked in favor of the wealthy.

Quite a few states are making it harder for people to vote, especially those who have lower incomes or belong to minority groups.

Partisan gerrymandering (by both parties!) subvert the will of the people.

Finally, false attacks on legitimate press as "fake news" and baldfaced lying by government representatives subvert the press's ability to be a watchdog on the government. That said, the press still has its Constitutional freedom, so I don't want to overstate this point.

Regarding prison population which "has been declining for about eight years" and the US's broad support for ending minimum sentencing... that applied under Obama. That does not apply so much under the current Attorney General[2].

I think there is good reason to believe that the US is becoming less liberal (in the liberal democracy sense) since January 2017.

(Also, to be totally clear, I'm not saying it's anything like the dictatorship that has arisen in China today!)

Excerpting my point out of context like this isn't helpful. I'm responding to the Christian's glib notion that he doesn't understand why atheists worry about dying.

There's no value at all in fretting over death once it's inevitable. There is great value in fretting over possible deaths we can avoid. And regardless, death for atheists is the loss of everything, and loss aversion is a well-studied component of human psychology, so it should be unsurprising even to a Christian that atheists are not particularly jolly about death.

What makes me worried is the rise of populist politicians, not only in the US, but also across Europe. It's certainly partly motivated by exactly what you describe. For many people, democracy seems like a theater play performed by the political cast, and not even a good one at that.
There's always a problem with using averages, for subjects that are innherently distributed oddly.

It's definitely useful to run through examples and the average case is as good as any. But, beware assuming the average case is you, or more likely to be you.

To boil this down... It may be that a founder is working for free or even taking risks for free, by continuing rather than exiting.

This is true outside of startups too. Musk only owns 10% of Tesla. If the board was going to hire a superstar CEO to run Tesla, they'd probably need to give him that much equity anyway over time. So, they basically get him for free.
When addressing issues in society I prefer taking a universal approach.

So if we look at imbalances in outcomes, there is a lot of it for gender and race. Prison rates, life expectancy, health, work profession, suicide rates, homelessness, wealth, children, social support network and more. There is no inherent reason why that's just how it is and always will be, so what can we do to fix this artificial imbalance overall in society?

Throwing money at it don't work. If one correlate how much money a state is spending on the problem and the result, you get a paradox. The more spending the more imbalanced society tend to get. Recently it also seem to increase polarization which had its own long list of issues. Ignoring the problem is also unlikely to do anything, so it lead me to only a single conclusion and that is look for a solution that has shown positive result. Happily there exist such thing but it has sadly also been mostly abandoned by the political platforms that seeks equality.

That is to say; to eliminate categorization based on gender and race and find commonalities rather than focus on differences. A popular tactic around the 70s, but now mostly abandoned. Its not the same as ignoring since you have to active focus on what is common, and its not the same as current methods with throwing money at specific issues since those focus on what is different based on category of groups. By working to eliminate categorization in people minds you tip the scale without doing anything racist, while still being active in addressing the issue.

Yeah until i read up on explosives (and other lively substances, hello Derek Lowe) my impression of nitrogen was that of it being the most benign of atmospheric chemicals.

As i have come to understand it, nitrogen gets real frisky when you pair it up with others that can't fill all its electron bonds. This then leaves it a hair breath away from going back to pure nitrogen bonds, releasing a whole lot of pent up energy in the process.

I agree, but my sense is that the number of people and projects willing to fix complaints reported by compiler warnings is larger than the number of people who care enough to run a separate tool over their codebase. This is purely a UI thing -- if the compiler had a -Wlint option that ran lint and integrated its reports into its own warning output it would probably have a similar effect, especially if enabled by default...
The electoral rules are the rules. If you contest the result of an election that hadn’t irregularities, you put yourself in the anti-democratic camp.

Github issues.
Two major points.

1. Chromebooks don't run Firefox. I'm sure you can get FF running, but it's not part of the Chromebook "agenda." Chromebooks are actively being used like candy in educational contexts, so we can establish shoo-in adoption and widespread acceptance. So... I think the sooner we can accept that we are no longer operating in the kind of world that prosecutes this kind of anticompetitive behavior, the better - if just for the sake of personal closure.

2. A similar situation I've seen this exact account used is https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/36911336#comment30. The whole thread (or at least the first few messages) must be read for context, but this particular comment is also being posted by nobody@, presumably due to political sensitivity. (If you ask me, it was Nick who posted that message, and he needed plausible deniability for some obscure/stupid legal reason.)

I get the impression nobody@ can be used by anybody if they can justify the circumstances. My guess/hunch is that maybe it needs an LGTM from maybe one or two others.

Not that you intend to support this, but many mothers fear that they're not providing enough milk to their babies, even though there are natural ramp-up periods where a baby will be left temporarily wanting more. Lack of faith (or awareness) in this stressful process, and the beckon of relief lures those mothers to supplementation. That can interrupt the feedback loop that encourages more milk production and begin a slide towards dependence on formula, reassured by its pervasiveness and positive marketing. Of course, even more significantly, most mothers are forced back to work prematurely and then don't have the time, energy, or even a private space to pump their milk.

I bet formula companies know all of this. They shipped a pallet of "free" formula to our address as soon as our daughter was born, unrequested.
Which has been in place since the Constitution was ratified.

This sour grapes whining by Clinton supporters is like a baseball team complaining that they lost a baseball game because while they scored fewer runs they had more hits and fewer errors. Except that's not how baseball games are scored, and that's known from the beginning of the game.

(Just to get it out of my way: I did not vote for Trump, and I've never supported the man. I'm just sick of people complaining about losing by the rules of the system they knew was in place when they started.)
I'm not exactly sure either, but if I understand correctly, react native is actually not running under web view, hence called "react native"?

Do people really read ~300 different books a year?

We've been going through the same 10 books for more than a year now with my currently 3.2 year old: Karlsson on the Roof, Beechwood Bunny Tales, Winnie the Pooh, Paddington Bear and a few more. I guess these contain multiple stories which can be counted as separate "books", but they are nevertheless enjoyed every evening. Even though we've probably read every story at least 10 times already.

I don't think we're talking about developers' pages, but small businesses. And I don;t think small businesses in general give one jot for people who have JS turned off.
The difference to me is whether they list all the bugs (while suggesting that their product would help) to the developer before publishing or not. If the only way to satisfy them is to pay, then it's incredibly scummy and moreover is a big disincentive for companies to open their source code. After all, every code base has bugs and I'm sure their developers were working on fixing bugs already, but only open source projects can be extorted over their bugs.
