> I've read it numerous times, thank you very much, paying close attention to the rhetorical structure and trying to understand the overall point he was trying to communicate.

What do you think it is? Because I felt like his very clear definition of what he was challenging and why made his intent pretty clear. Your argument seems to be, "He doesn't want to redefine rape in all cases, just in THIS case which was pertinent to him at the time."

Unless you think there is a broader conclusion that somehow doesn't invalidate his (admittedly confused) post, please lay it out more clearly.
So, they basically invented Software As A Service? Relevant indeed.
Consider the problem you are trying to solve. I/O devices, from the CPU's standpoint, are things that are very slow and require infrequent service, but when they do require service, have extremely strict hard-real-time latency requirements. Interrupts are one approach to being able to get useful work done while waiting for I/O, without burning a lot of CPU resources on polling.

Another approach is to have a processing hierarchy, like old mainframes did. Off-load the CPU with some kind of I/O processor or channel controller that can do the real-time data transfers, and "coalesce" low level interrupts into a single larger interrupt that captures more work -- think a single DMA-COMPLETE interrupt instead of a bunch of GET-SINGLE-BYTE interrupts.

You can of course push the processing into hardware but that is much harder to change than an I/O driver, so the interrupt-driven-driver design pattern wins on software maintainability.
I feel most people who trust social media for news are super-late Internet adopters who don't quite understand how any of this stuff works. I know some older (but not old, really) people who use Facebook without understanding the boundary between Facebook and the rest of the web. They just see text on the screen and make arbitrary assumptions on where it's coming from.

This is the price society is paying for making social media "accessible" through phone apps and such.
On the other side I see huge potential for WASM because all the things I worked with in C/C++/Rust that required a client-side install are now available to me on the browser.

Stuff like UnrealEngine running in browser, low-latency audio processing, etc. Lots of potentially cool solutions where you need strong control over allocations and memory placement.

As long as adblockers and multiple browser profiles aren’t illegal I’m okay with this.
> What you're missing is a proof that the only reason a community is not 'diverse' is due to 'biases' within the community.

There's an enormous amount of research and evidence showing that biases, conscious and unconscious, cause a lack of diversity. It's like saying we are missing proof that smoking leads to cancer.

But here's a simple way to look at it: For a long time in the West, white males enacted in law, in custom, and extralegally (lynchings, for example), explicit biases that excluded others. In 2018, we know that some white males today explicitly endorse the same biases, and many more do so quietly. In areas where we say there is a lack of diversity, the same group, the white males, has the power and the resources (jobs or whatever), and the same groups are excluded.

What is the hypothesis that explains these facts? Is it that it's really a meritocracy now and that the same outcomes as the non-meritocracy are coincidence? In my judgement, that is very unlikely and very irresponsible to believe, and letting other people suffer because we don't want to deal with the problem is the corruption that comes with power.
My understanding of IPFS is that it is not anonymous. Is my understanding incorrect?
There a large difference is but those flares are all produced by relatively small surfaces that aren't designed to reflect significant amounts of light (quite the opposite in fact) and a purpose built device.

This should allow "GPLv2 or later" code to be used, right? (Allowing it to be ported to more ARM platforms)
It’s interesting and odd to me that Beidou requires two-way communication, as opposed to other satellite tracking systems where the receivers are purely passive and satellites only transmit, not receive. Is there an explanation for why this was done?

Organized crime is a huge problem. Like just take Mexico. Really poor and that's because of organized crime. If they were richer they could probably save a lot of lives. I think that's a bigger factor than the number of people shot dead.
Yeah, it looks like aside from HTC, VR is a race to the bottom. I guess there's just more money in crappy low-rent headsets vs high quality expensive ones.
You can't do "positive" or "negative" things the The Earth. It is a lump of mass shot through with potential energy and lattice opportunities. Net positives and negatives are subjective assessments by perspectives constrained within a framework. The earth is the super constraint on humanity, at least for the time being. The oxygen rich atmosphere is not objectively better than the nitrogen rich atmosphere, but it is subjectively worse for us.

It's a fools game anyway. Erase the homo sapiens and some other primate gets spared a genocide. I have never understood the value in anthropomorphizing the planet outside of political manipulation.

Economic structures, on the other hand... ;)
Thanks for the clarification. I get what you mean now.
Vertical farming is a pipe dream for everything but specialized high-margin produce. There's just not enough space to grow staple crops in coastal cities. Those volume crops will always be grown in large open areas and then hauled in to population centers. And no, improvements in solar cell efficiency or whatever won't change that equation.
The tool produces multiple output files for a single input. For example:

input: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stlab/libraries/develop/st...

output: https://github.com/stlab/stlab.github.io/tree/master/librari...

As for updating the tool, it's currently building against the top of the Clang tree. In my experience, there are other elements of one's tooling chain that take a longer time to catch up. (For example, Xcode is only periodically released, and even then is using a version of Clang that is somewhat behind. Something similar could be said for MSVC.) Nothing about the tool is closed-source, so it should be easy for anyone to clone the repository and build it against an updated version of the compiler.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_money_(restitution)

> Blood money is, colloquially, the reward for bringing a criminal to justice.

> A common meaning in other contexts is the money-penalty paid by a murderer to the kinsfolk of the victim. These fines completely protect the offender (or the kinsfolk thereof) from the vengeance of the injured family. The system was common among Germanic peoples before the introduction of Christianity (weregild)

The concepts of "money you pay as a penalty for killing someone" and "money a third party pays you as a reward for killing someone" aren't really similar in the slightest.
Unavoidable collection of user location data is the obvious reason. I would absolutely stay away from any device that has support for this positioning technology.
I'm not aware of this, but maybe I'm behind the curve? Are you saying that if somebody posts a link on Twitter, that link gets a tracking-parameter appended when people click through? Ar what is it they ar all doing?

Between this, the 2080's performance being 'eh', the vive pro having a very mixed reaction (mostly price), and the pimax sets running face-first into gpu limitiations, PC VR is in a bit of a slump. The best thing to buy today is almost exactly what it was a year and a half ago.
Can I be brutally honest for a moment? If by the time you're an adult you don't know that women have body autonomy, your degree of ignorance borders on willful and your opinion of women includes a lesser definition of freedom and autonomy.

The best way to get the word out, as it were, is to remind folks that this is not true via example cases. Expecting the same rhetorical strategy that has enabled men for so long to suddenly start working is absurd.

An we're seeing the "punish the worst offenders publicly" strategy making a huge impact. This is in fact in line with the (often lauded) work of First Wave Feminism, in that creating such a fuss that it cannot be ignored and becomes a focal point of social consideration is essentially what got women the vote. In this effort, I think western third-wave feminism has found a clear path forward. It's also a path we can apply to all people equally, to demonstrate that feminism is (despite its name) not a movement that puts women first, but rather on equal footing. Women can be rapists, and the current #metoo movement has shown it's willing to expose and punish its own. A movement a lot of MRA-leaning folks have been demanding for some time.

Is there already a performance advantage with the current WASM implementations for number crunching code compared to writing plain Javascript?

My experience is that modern JS engines are already pretty good at optimizing that kind of code, so I'm wondering if there are still significant speedups to be had by using WASM, given that it's still pretty new and didn't have much time to get optimized further yet.
ARM only, single-user, cooperative multitasking, 31 bit max file size and somewhat limited memory protection. I suspect the audience would be limited to niches where all of that isn't an issue.
Note that they don't state that they still intend to use their 10nm process for volume production.
Your observed reality knows the price of bread in 1950, the price adjusted for inflation, but not the current price.

Agreed. Better to have constants. That way you can quickly know what the available values are.

Reliability isn't really off topic when talking about connector design. Apparently there are possible tradeoffs between damaging the socket and the cable; IIRC micro-USB is designed to sacrifice the cable to reduce damage to the device.
A lot of people with that mindset really don't care where it comes from. Like you said, they're in part trying to fuel some hatred towards a particular person or group of people. It simply exists to propogate ideas in those who are unwilling to listen to any sort of reason, who will then spread and share these ideas with others. These people are perfectly fine living in a bubble and feeding off of each other all because they are unwilling to form their own opinions and face the facts, imagined or real.

This looks like it's a massive PR stunt more than anything. The kind of cool project big companies want to have their name associated with. I was hoping to find more details about the technology used to build it, the compromises involved, etc.
Okay, I've only done the over-breakfast skim of this, and I hate to be that guy who comments without having fully read TFA, but here I go anyway...

I don't see any explicit mention of what I understand to be the killer feature: the ability to directly access the browser's WebAPIs, from Accelerometer to Document to MimeType to XPathExpression. Start with modifying the DOM, and go from there. Of course fast WASM/JS interop lowers the cost of the obvious workaround. And yes, there's discussion in the article of getting WASM to play nice with JS GC, which I understand is a prerequisite. But there should be explicit discussion of what the predicted path is for making WebAPIs available in WASM, what the sub-goals are, and how to measure progress.

And the first paragraph of the article is a joke, claiming that people thought the 2017 version was the final version. No, we're waiting for a relevant version (this sentence is an exaggeration, but it's more true than what TFA said).
You're not wrong. But, human history goes back roughly 200,000 years. Slavery can only be dated back to 1860 BCE.

One could argue that the "bondage curve" -- if there is one -- is parabolic. I.E. human bondage peeked sometime during the Atlantic Slave Trade and has been going down ever since.

One could also argue that -- before modern machinery -- humans existed for nearly 200,000 years with no documented form of bondage.

I'm assuming (I don't know) the OP is referring to what some people call "modern slavery" -- in that the majority of the workforce has 0 social mobility. I think it's pretty absurd when people compare this to slavery during the Atlantic Slave Trade, but it happens.

'Rule of Saint Francisco' :D
I think a major reason behind this problem is that their entire seller system to Add/Edit Amazon product listings (Amazon Seller Central) is run almost entirely as an outsourced division.

The website is entirely different (although Amazon themed/branded). It still doesn't have full mobile support. Phone support is almost non-existent. Most customer support is outsourced to foreign countries. It is a joke.

It once took me 3 months of arguing back and forth to get an erroneous $30 seller fee refunded since there was no "supervisor" to speak to and only a broken ticket system where I would received canned apologies and promises - just to have the same result over and over.

They are clearly understaffed and/or don't know what they're doing most of the time, so counterfeit, duplicate, and junk/low quality listings get through all the time.
I used to be the same way, but companies are legitimately having such a hard time hiring they're frantic to keep their employees and, at least at mine, are offering significant raises to stay and keep competitors at bay.
The article talks about how it can be used to send messages but my first thought is that it could allow tracking of receivers. A scary thought if it does achieve widespread adoption.

I know it's a useful acronym, but not quite accurate. Netflix doesn't do many [0] acquisitions [1] and isn't on the same scale as the other companies other than as a desirable tech company to work at.

A list like Facebook, Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and Yahoo! is probably more accurate, even if the last has itself been acquired.

Term pedantry aside, your point is sound. Tech's incredible journey marches on.
Right, so it does.
Yes, and in this case the sequence is specifically the "classic" De Bruijn sequence [1]; however, there are other sequences that bear De Bruin's name, such as the Moser de Bruijn sequence, which is the one I reference most due to its relation to Z-order curves and pairing functions.

Wasm isn't really for pretty apps you can quickly make in Vue. It's more for those heavy duty apps, games or libraries that most people run natively because of performance and because they're written in languages like C++, Rust, or even Fortran (scientific computing libraries).

Also, JS isn't the best tool for all programs, and programmers would like more of a choice when it comes to things that are more than just your standard web app.
What's the lesson here?

Notice how they all vested and then left. Once they are vested then they essentially are working for peanuts compared to what they already have (nobody in the right mind is going to re-grant stock compared to acquisition amount).

I don't see any surprises here.
I guess this makes sense. The request contained something the server didn't understand, and wasn't expecting, so returning a 404 seems sane.

After all, as a developer, it's my site - I choose the URLs (including the query strings) which are valid and acceptable to me.

I wonder how many sites other than Twitter are rejecting requests with unknown query parameters?
> Without analytics, I wouldn't be able to sell with efficiency, and therefore, I wouldn't have a business.

I guess your summary is about right.

> we live in a capitalist world, and I don't see that changing any time soon.

We were living in a capitalist world two decades ago, and we didn't have a significant amount of tracking back then. If you are concerned about your competition using tracking, then just try to make a better product.
> Fake news is how free speech is supposed to work.

I can't agree with your statement. Game news is the contrary of what free speach stands for. Free speach is about being able to express your opinions. Fake news are intentionally misleading and hurt other people's well-being.

> Fake news" isnt a problem the problem is a lazy populace that take any word for granted as long as the production value is good enough.

Blame the victim. If you cheat me, it is my fault to not see thru your lie, if you rob me it's my fault for not being more vigilant.

If I lie about my products, or about other things for economical gain. Shouldn't the state make sure that I'm punished for that? Should not be the same case that for breaking a contract?
I'm on the verge of wearing an infrared LED baseball cap everywhere I go now. Maybe I'm overly paranoid, but better to start earlier than later?

Also, are infrared LED disguise devices easily defeated? E.g. can camera installers just add an additional infrared filter to their setup?
The promotion rules only get worse when you use a type alias like int32_t, which could be a typedef for short, int, long or conceivably even char.

An expression of type int doesn't undergo any default promotion to anything, period; the widening promotion is only applied to the char and short types.

An int operand may convert to the type of an opposite operand in an expression, and an int argument or return value will convert to the parameter or return value type. That applies to int32_t also.

Anyway, you really have to know the rules to be working in C. Someone who uses fixed width types for everything doesn't know what they are doing and are just taking swipes at imaginary ghosts in the dark out of fear.

> Actually, I don't know why I pay for Github private repo's.. I might as well set-up two origins, one at Gitlab and one at Bitbucket, for all my privates. Then keep Github as a public front-facing portal.

You do realize that every cloned tree can be a git "repo", regardless of the machine it's on, right? GH and GL surround the repo with some other things (bug reports etc) to rope you in but if you are cloning from one to the other you already aren't migrating that stuff as well, so it's not really clear what additional value that provides.
