Why is it weird that journalists have to sign an NDA to visit premises? Your job is explicitly to spread information and you're visiting a commercially sensitive area. I've worked with small companies (< 30 people) where entire floors were off limits if you didn't sign.

It's easy for a journalist to describe something without realising its importance within the community. There was an article recently about a tour of a Nikon lens factory and they were forbidden to talk or describe certain furnaces. If you weren't an expert in glass manufacture, you might let slip a key fact like "we saw a big machine before process Y" or "the glass at this point is red hot" (maybe everyone else has it orange-hot).

Why should any corporation let you visit their premises without suitable assurances?
All of your "serious flaws" are actually fixable. Obviously WASM tooling isn't as mature as other older ecosystems, this will get fixed over time.

I don't think JVMs where without any security bugs, since WASM is mainly used in browsers right now, security is a MAJOR concern. Java-Bytecode was designed for a different purpose. Try to compile a language with multi-inheritance to Java-Bytecode, it's a pain. WASM is designed in a more language-agnostic way, that's why GC and Exception Handling is much harder to specify than in the JVM.

BTW: GC'ed languages can already be compiled to WASM: they more or less "just" need to compile the GC to WASM too. The GC proposal would only allow to reuse the embedder's (most likely the browser) GC.

I am amazed by how astonishingly bad that article took to heart it's topic. I thought the article was super short when I reached the embedded Rebecca Gordon quote because I just assumed that was an "about the author" box that I could ignore.

I also don't really pay attention to "return to top" buttons, but while reading their section on why displaying such buttons before the end of the article is a bad idea I glanced to the right and noticed a "return to top" button.

A lot of the points in the article are well thought out, and I'm a bit fan of cut content myself but... they're hilariously bad at listening to their own advice.
> It's clearly in the realm of opinion.

Then qualify it as an opinion rather than stating it as a fact. People subconsciously form opinions based on information they consume, including comments like that (not your comment, to be clear).

I don't know about you, but when I come to a forum that takes itself as seriously as HN, I expect people to hold themselves to some reasonable standard of honesty. You'd be a fool to believe everything you read on reddit, can we not set higher standards for ourselves here? The HN guidelines suggest that's our intent.

I'm not sure I understand the question. I don't have an issue with the rest of his post because it not only seems at least reasonably accurate, but some of it ("It’s too easy to think that everything should be clear-cut, but reality is messy") seems very insightful in this age of largely fact-optional ideological sniping.

I doubt anyone is driving out competition with free product, but using free product to hook a new client is definitely a thing that happens.

That's not too say that there's guys on street corners offering free drugs to random passersby. Rather there's lots of dealers who just deal to aquaintances, friends, friends of friends, neighbors, etc. In that case they can spread a few hundred dollars worth of product around to non-users within their social network in hopes of picking up another client or two, who will end up generating reliable profit for a long time.
It works if $25 of gas lasts long enough to get to a different price (harder at a bad price), and your tank has sufficient room to hold $25 of gas (harder at a good price). Those constraints make it worse than real dollar cost averaging, but it should still work.

You can do better if you can predict gas prices but that's sort of the point of DCA - it's a strategy that works without insight.

Edit: this strategy has a higher sample rate when gas prices are bad. This causes a problem if prices are temporally correlated, which they are, unless the sample distance is large enough that the price has enough time to become completely randomized, which is a big ask.

The efficacy of which they police their platform is up for debate, but the fact that they can and do police their platform is not. I agree with you - they do police their platform. They can and do remove things at their discretion.

This is a good question, and one that I don't have a complete or rigorous answer to. But I can describe my intuition:

A theory is just a list of assertions. In the absence of any evidence, each assertion is just as likely to be true as false. Therefore the probability of a theory with n assertions is 2^-n. So the more assertions there are, the less probability.

I know it feels that way, but it's not strictly true. Here in Seattle in the last decade we've built a new floating bridge, multiple miles of underground light rail track, and nearly two miles of deep bore road tunnel.

I think there is a real problem that our new infrastructure is way too expensive and takes way too long to build, but we've demonstrated that we can definitely build new stuff.

Wrong, maybe that "space" (feature or product) goes well with Google's business model, but wouldn't support a viable business mode by itself.

Thank you for saying this for "the rest of us" who also find this incredibly unintuitive, counterproductive, and off-putting!

Let's see if I have this right: so, apparently this false "full page" design gets more people to sign up than if it were clear there was more content on the page? Is that right?

So following that logic, wouldn't you get yet even more sign-ups if it actually was just a full page Signup/Login choice? I mean, the "secret" content that the initial appearance is trying to "hide" can't possibly be helping the signup counts, can it? Otherwise you'd just have a "normal" page with clipped content that can clearly be scrolled, wouldn't you?

What I mean is, I can't understand the existance of more content except to "reward" visitors who either notice the scrollbar or (apparently) try to scroll on every page they encounter.

Why do you think Slack is just as interruptive as a shoulder tap? When I have to focus on my work and I’m in a state where I cannot answer someone else’s question for a while, I minimize Slack and email, usually for several hours.

You can still send me a message on Slack, and I’ll respond in a few hours when I can.

But if you speak verbally directly to me at my desk or tap me on the shoulder, then I have to break my concentration, engage in social norms about hearing out your question. Even if I instantly tell you I can’t help right now, I’ll lose 5-15 minutes getting back to concentration every time you do this.

You have a very unusual and incorrect understanding about how much more severely distracting itbis to receive a verbal / shoulder tap interruption for a question than something asynchronous like Slack or email.

This mentality is what's holding back the establishment in any field from doing anything radical. The status quo is worth trillions and trillions of dollars, and a lot of people will fight very, very hard to keep it that way, even when it's horribly inefficient, outdated and just plain stupid.

Solar? Nope, we promised the private coal plants decades of profits.

etc. etc.

Which is why we need to ignore what the establishment things and just do our own thing whenever possible, or at least support anyone trying to go clean slate.

o Exerting yourself physically excites the body and the mind. It's just a different overall experience, some would say more primal.

great comment. as an independent game developer i’ve noticed similar things about game players. they are more entitled than saas product users for some reason.

i think it’s because they go to games for fun. if there’s a bug in a game, it ruins their fun. a bug in facebook— who cares? you can just come back tomorrow. and a bug in a saas product, slack or gmail is a reason to go home from work early.

I don't think anyone is. It's their platform, they can do whatever they want with it. Facebook access is not an unalienable human right.

They can allow something on their platform without endorsing it. Permitting something and endorsing it are absolutely not synonymous.

Funnily enough, I hadn't payed any attention to the marketing or hype of the game before it came out. I just got a used copy at GameStop, and because I had no expectations, I found it to be pretty fun. If they had just marketed it as it really was, the reviews probably would have been higher.

Actually, now that this post curiously made me look: https://duckduckgo.com/ ACTUALLY has content below the initial search form. I have been visiting that page for a very long time now and I actually never knew that until testing it right now to add to above list. Wow.

aside: not sure why you included the word "static" in there, since it's kind of irrelevant to what users see. Maybe you meant it in a different way than most people take it, which usually means the site looks the same to all users.

Some people are nuts, and threats are ridiculous, but you fail to mention the fact that Sean outright _lied_ about the game before and slightly after launch. This was not "poor communication", it was intentional deceipt.
Let's not forget how after launch he acted like you needed to play longer to get to those features, pushing players past their playtime refund limits on stores. For a while Valve made an exception specifically for this game, so that you could get refund no matter how long you played. That's how much "evil and intended" his trickery had been.

When it comes to Google I just have a lot of issues with the company and didn't have my real login handy when an article about them came up a few days ago. From big issues, like hiring Eric Schmidt and frequent attempts at anti-competitive behavior, to small ones, like prudish censoring of search results and weird customer service (including a six-month delay in getting a response to a simple request for a Maps enterprise quote), I could really just go on and on with the variety of reasons why I don't like Google. I've seen firsthand, at multiple Google locations, an odd attitude that must have permeated from the top. The only people that seemed to be different were a few acquihires who exuded a combination of resignation and pragmatism about their situation.

Edit: If you meant that you wanted more detail about my antitrust complaint, I contacted them via the antitrust email address. They took a while to call back, but not as long as Google took to get me that Maps quote...

It’s kind of amazing how much money and faith people dump into games for “nothing”. Crowd-funding and pre-orders are both money for “nothing” (no idea if you’ll even get what you expected). Gems and other game items are “nothing” (they’re not real things, the day the game server dies they go away). The overwhelming majority of previews are cinematics that show an idealized story with NO gameplay, and again people invest based on this “nothing”.

Yet heaven forbid Netflix raise its prices by a dollar, or a restaurant, etc. There are so many miniscule investments that people refuse to make. Game company promising the world though? Wallets open!
I bought two TVs from Best Buy and one from Amazon.

For both of the TVs, Best Buy tried to sell me insurance. They used the "refuse to take no for an answer" tactic. In both cases I had to say, "if you say another word about the insurance I'm going to walk out." I really meant it, too.

Amazon's shipper lugged my TV up two flights of stairs to a 3rd floor apartment.

I don't buy this argument. Of course a company doesn't want to spend money on their employees, and so they will do whatever they can to avoid it. That doesn't mean they should be able to get away with it. This kind of argument, that regulations "kill jobs" is not supported by reality, and is just them threatening to take their ball and go home if they don't get their way, like the spoiled child on the playground.

"... I don’t see how this will work out ...."

That's how most Chinese infrastructure projects start. I saw Ningbo in 1992. I look at it today and, yeah, can you say different?

I thought Three Gorges would be impossible, even for the Chinese. A few key innovations later and there it is. (Subtle innovations which, in my defense, a reasonable engineer would never have seen coming.)

If there's one thing they're good at over there, it's building infrastructure. I'll give them that.
Thanks. That's a really excellent way to describe things, probably the best comment on this thread.

There's always a tradeoff between how much intelligence you put into a runtime vs how much you have to ship with the app. In the limit WASM would turn into "download and run an entire language runtime with every web page", which is clearly suboptimal. Most likely compilation to JS will continue for the forseeable future when possible for that reason.

One idea that could probably work very well is to write a WASM interpreter for GraalVM. GraalVM has very high level constructs but can also support low level manually memory managed code. They have one for LLVM bitcode already, but WASM would probably be simpler to implement and with a more stable bytecode format. Then C/Rust/exceptionless C++ could ship artifacts as WASM files, scripting languages can ship source code, static managed languages like Java or Haskell (eta) can ship JARs, and they can all interoperate and be compiled together.

I don't see a route to getting there with current WASM runtimes or just the existing featureset of WASM though. As a portable ISA for distribution of limited, OS neutral C-ish libraries it seems reasonable enough. As a future VM for everything I can't see them beating GraalVM anytime soon. GraalVM has the shared high level constructs, but it is able to also (eventually) compile low level WASM/LLVM style code down to what a typical GCC like compiler would create.

I don't think Java fulfills this requirement. Or the one about tail calls. Java bytecode is too high-level, too. It forces you into a very limited execution framework.
While the materials don't quite exist for a tether that can survive the forces needed to escape Earth gravity, the wiki you linked mentions the moon as a place where current materials could be used.

> Many browsers hide the scroll bar

On touch devices, yes. On desktop, not really. I think Safari on OS X is the only one, all others (basically everything on Windows and Linux) always show scroll bars on scrollable content. And on touch devices, users tend to try scroll quite readily, so I don't think clipped content is a necessity.

However, artificially stretching content to the fold is still against the idea of a (scrollable) website.
