I disagree that it's appropriate to limit their benefits. I used to feel the same way (regarding health insurance) about people who don't do exercise or eat healthy, why am I subsidizing all these people who chose to be unhealthy then get type 2 diabetes? It seemed to me that running a few times a week and eating vegetables is so simple but we still give them benefits. I eventually came to the conclusion that you really just need to treat anyone that wants to get better

Flash Professional still exists (renamed Animate CC) and outputs to Canvas, WebGL, and Flash/AIR. https://www.adobe.com/products/animate.html

I agree with you that it's a little sad that amateur animation fell a bit out of vogue, but the tools are right there for anyone whos interested to pick up.
My answer was in reply to "WASM enables nothing". I argue that WASM is faster than JS, therefore it enables new applications.

Totally agree with this! I miss the simple days of build once run anywhere and just being able to bash out a fun idea in an afternoon and release it and know everyone would have the same experience. Yeah security was crap with flash but surely that could have been solved. I think the battery use and apple’s desire to make sure everything had to go through their paid AppStore was what killed it really though.

Look at the influence alcohol has in the US today though.

"An estimated 88,000 people (approximately 62,000 men and 26,000 women) die from alcohol-related causes annually, making alcohol the third leading preventable cause of death in the United States"

I could google statistics for violent crimes committed while under the influence of alcohol, drunk driving statistics, etc. Whether we like to admit it or not alcohol has left a giant, negative, impact on our society.

This argument is getting very old. Any sources for that first claim?

The multithreaded workloads part is correct, but the argument falls apart when you remember that an average user has hundreds of different processes running in the background, or in other words a workload that can handily take advantage of those cores.
As I understand it, one benefit of LLVM is that it has a cleaner backend interface, so it is easier to create a new compiler by using LLVM as your backend rather than GCC's backend.

(In case it is not clear, just to be explicit: LLVM corresponds to only the backend part of GCC. Clang+LLVM correspond to the whole GCC C++ compiler.)
Their current Animate product (they renamed Flash Pro) is pretty much what you're looking for, if I'm not mistaken.

Pretty much every AAA video game of a certain period would have been using scaleforms Flashplayer for their user interface.
WASM has all the security problems of flash, and then it multiplies them, by making WASM content linkable.

So someone makes a game, and they use this very useful WASM library over here. Only that library exploits spectre or meltdown to steal data. Or maybe it just silently hoses your machine by targeting the new WebGL shaders? Or any myriad number of other things.

Well, here's a benchmark of asm.js JavaScript versus WebAssembly in a real world application:

> There are probably many scenarios where the whole OTP philosophy of crash recovery is definitely going to help with the robustness of the platform

The fundamental error that only "let it crash" can handle is hardware failure. No amount of type checking or exception catching will help if the server melts in a fire. In that case, the only solution is for a different process on a different machine to deal with the failure. This will be true for any programming stack.

Erlang's approach is, since we have to delegate to a different process to handle errors in the most extreme case, let's use that approach to handle all errors, so we only have one mental model for error handling and don't have to do a lot of extra work to handle hardware failure. (Joe Armstrong refers to "errors" as times when the programmer doesn't know what to do, as opposed to exceptions, which can be rescued.)

The performance story is similar: no matter your language, if you want to scale, eventually you'll need multiple processes on different machines with no shared memory passing messages to each other. For consistency, Erlang uses that model all the time.

Erlang's fault tolerance decisions are what lead to its fairly good, and especially consistent, performance characteristics.

Half of Homes Have Regained Peak Values, but the Recovery Is Uneven
I deleted my Facebook account more than 2 years ago. Installed Instagram to test what the fuss was about. But uninstalled it in a day.

The thing that's still Facebook and major part of my life is WhatsApp. Chit chats, group discussions, and calls with family back home all happen through WhatsApp.

Couldn't transition to other apps because most people in my family and friends circle don't really care about privacy or data security. They prefer convenience.

Without them switching, it's going to be hard for me to switch.

Regarding the "what if" novels, not the novels where a gender is entirely missing for unexplained reasons like discussed at the end:

Because few things have had as strong an influence in our culture as gender, it's central to both our biology and culture; it's an extremely big avenue for narrative exploration messing with that. In other words, I'm surprised there isn't more of a fixation with "single-gender" sci fi considering how important gender is.

More performant I am not sure. Would have to see specific benchmarks comparing and the assembly for the newest gcc and newest clang.

The reaosn why I vastly prefer clang is for three main reasons.

Firstly, clang and llvm are written in c++ so it's much easier for me to work with. Secondly, it has proper documentation on how to, for example, add new optimization passes or adding a new instruction. This includes tons of talks and presentations on doing this live. Thirdly, the tooling for it is great, such as clangd, llc, lld, clanggtidy, etc.

Gcc seems to have none of this. Oh, and almost forgot, most importantly llvm + clang is actually open source (more open) via a MIT license instead of gpl.

Yeah Flash was amazing at attracting both developers and designers and led to awesome games and some really innovative interactive experiences.

The web is a better place due to Flash and Macromedia did a killer job, I wish Adobe had kept it going better. Originally I was attracted to Flash 3/4 for making cartoons, Flash was where I launched my first game (and hundreds more) and got lots of fun game/interactive/video work from it. I probably work in games/dev today due to Flash (mainly Unity now, another Flash inspired tool). I loved AS3 as well, great iteration of javascript and only ES4 implementation that was kicked to the curb unfortunately. Flash was awesome all the way to the 2007ish Papervision 3d days (Three.js by mr. doob [1], part of Papervision team along with great designers like Carlos Ulloa [2] and people that work at Unity now like Ralph Hauwert [3], takes Papervision's place) but then Adobe let Flash languish in lacking hardware rendering support and eventually mobile and apps killed it due to native/hardware rendering support, Chrome put the final punch in by changing plugin support. Though HTML5, Canvas, WebGL, SVG, web video, web audio and even wasm is a direct result of the innovation from Flash. Flash even got big in entertainment like video, games and lots of web cartoons still use Flash today for animation (Adobe Animate now) [4] though many use ToonBoom/USAnimation (also inspired by Flash) [5][6].

Sites like joe cartoon, newgrounds, praystation, thefwa etc were all part of it and Youtube jumped on Flash video, big parts of internet history are due to Flash.

Flash was one of those rare tools that attracts interactive/creative designers and interactive/creative developers. I don't know that there is another tool/platform that was as attractive to design and development. Adobe Animate is still around but the Flash community was awesome and attracted all types of creative people.

Flash was so much more than a buggy plugin in the end, it was a great interactive, vector based entertainment and content creating system overall end to end. Flash/Animate is still out there today but not as integrated. Adobe Animate is the same but can export to apps and html5/canvas/webgl. There are also open source tools that can do flash like but not as integrated as well for designers in OpenFL [7], Haxe [8] and lime [9].

Not if I write a check. And from what I recall, when you make a purchase, they don't check against your projected balance at that time, but your actual balance.

So if I have $100 in my account and a pending debit of $50, if I try to make a purchase of $60, it'll get approved because I have $100 in my account.

Now, there are potential things it could do, like treat pending debits like cleared debits. I mean, when I check my balance on my app, it shows the balance with the pending transactions accounted for.

And that does prevent overdrafts from ATMs and debit cards, but there are other debits to the account that could cause overdraft.

It's practically a no-win scenario. If I have an automatic payment to my electric company and I don't have the funds in my account to pay it, I'm fucked no matter which way you look at it. Either I overdraft or my electricity gets shut off due to non-payment.

Exploiting browser bugs is still just exploiting browser bugs and this is already a problem for JavaScript, WASM doesn't make it worse. Flash introduces a second, black box sandbox implemented by morons.

Hi chinedufn, this looks very interesting. I am at the same stage as you re. "I REALLY want to use this for everything ...".

I see you're using wasm_bindgen quite a bit, but from a cursory look at the code; I can't figure out something:

I can see how you're using wasm in the front-end, but could you please elaborate a bit more about in the backend? I presume that your backend is Rust based?

I spent last weekend porting some code from NodeJS to a wasm module. I got it sort of working on Node, but haven't tried it on the browser yet (ran out of weekend).

I'm quite optimistic about wasm [and Rust with wasm_bindgen]. I'd been thinking of writing a native add-on for Node, but the idea that I can use wasm instead is exciting.

if i could have "browser" in a browser that targets canvas or webgl then i cannot block it, only on network level.
I've been happy as a clam to delete my Facebook and Instagram accounts over the last couple of years, and, like you, WhatsApp is a necessity. I spend 10+ months a year abroad, and WhatsApp has taken over as the default mode of communication. You don't ask for someone's phone number any more, you ask for their WhatsApp.

I wonder what it will take for WhatsApp to be dethroned? Perhaps a massive data leak, or proof that their e2e encryption has been knowingly compromised to gather data for Facebook advertising.
But if you had a wallet, would you consider it a herculean task to "take it with you"?

That's who he's "treating... as if they're degenerates or below intellectually average", people who think "bringing a wallet" is this massive undertaking that requires a paragraph to describe.

Hey Hacker News,

I'm Jb the CTO and co-founder of Sqreen (YC W18).

Privacy/status pages have become a standard on the web. But nothing is really made to answer to the increasing security concerns of users.

In the SaaS world, some companies integrate a detailed security page on their website, but most companies are still missing one today.

The goal of this open source security page is to change that.

It's not perfect, but we made it really simple for anyone to add it on their website.

The goal of the page is also to help developers think about security and maybe improve the status quo.

We are open to contributions → https://github.com/sqreen/security-page
