It cannot be used without javascript because it currently has no interface to the DOM.

Without DOM access, you're simply running a virtual machine isolated from everything else, and that would serve no purpose aside from burning clock cycles :).

It is currently felt that Webassembly shouldn't be given access to the DOM until after a garbage collection interface is created. Until that happens, any object given to the WASM runtime cannot be safely destroyed, as the browser doesn't know, and WASM has no way of indicating, that something, such as a reference to a div element, is still needed.

Currently, the simplest[1] and most secure way of working out how a given runtime should interface with the browser is to build that compatibility layer in javascript, and expose callbacks to the WASM runtime(which is defined). This lets developers write their own DOM-interface shim, allowing them to explore the possibility space, and not accidentally restrict which languages can be implemented in WASM.

Unrelated to the above comment, but could you all please maintain an Ubuntu PPA with binary builds? We're trying to use gRPC at my shop in C++ and the build is a huge pain.
Yes, we'd ideally need to find a digraph that absolutely doesn't occur in Spanish. This can be tricky with compound words and loanwords. It seems that ou, oe and oo are super-rare in Spanish morphemes but can occur in loanwords and compounds. I just searched for unaccented digraphs that literally don't occur at all in /usr/share/dict/spanish and the only examples (of which there are 184 excluding k and w) contain only consonants and y.

So, there's not any easy natural way to do this without creating at least some ambiguities.
Precisely. As a language, probably Smalltalk is the forebear of Java. And Smalltalk is hardly forgotten.

The way I have set it up is to do 2 things:

1) Create a post-commit hook script that only allows commits into feature branches.

This prevents accidentally committing into the dev/master branches (it still allows merges).

2) Create a script file that all developers use to start / end features which handles all the branch creation, pushing and pulling. That way the process is standardised and you cant make a mistake.

eg.

* script startfeature abc123-this-is-new-feature

* script endfeature (this automatically picks up local open features)

The only time there is ever an issue is when the end-feature causes a conflict. This is solved by rebasing your local branch, fixing up any issues in your commmits and then ending it again.
All we can do now is enjoy it while it lasts!
I chose San Francisco because it's seemed like the place to be, as an engineer in the U.S. But I've found the quality of life very poor compared to the other cities I've lived in, and I'm planning my escape.

Since post-Snowden, the Cypherpunk Movement somehow became active again, but many are not aware of the history of Cypherpunk.

I recommend everyone who is interested in cryptography, privacy and Cypherpunk to read A Cypherpunk’s Manifesto (https://www.activism.net/cypherpunk/manifesto.html), and The Crypto Anarchist Manifesto (https://activism.net/cypherpunk/crypto-anarchy.html) for the starter, both are very short and concise.

After reading the Manifesto, everyone should read Tim May’s Cyphernomicon, the most important document - the only comprehensive and the only documentation of the entire Cypherpunk movement.

https://nakamotoinstitute.org/static/docs/cyphernomicon.txt

Yes, it’s ten thousand lines of plaintext in a list format, and obviously not easy to read. It may be difficult to start, but it is surely an amazing collecting of ideas. You should download it to your disk, open your favorite text editor, and choose a nice color scheme, to read the entire document, line-by-line, as if you are reading some source code. In my opinion, this is the most comfortable way to read. You may need two weeks to a month to finish the reading, use the bookmark feature of your text editor to mark your progress. Another useful note is that, Tim May’s documentation is heavily leaning towards Anarcho-Capitalism, but as he said, the house of Cypherpunk has many room.
He was threatened with prison and then he killed himself. I doubt it was the only factor, but you'll need some sort of compelling evidence to argue that it wasn't the main factor.

What a shame it was that Gosling didn't understand C++ well enough even to crib from it.

I am astonished, again, whenever I am reminded of what he tried to copy and got horribly wrong, and what else he copied and should have known better than to. None of it would matter if Sun had not dumped a billion dollars into hyping it, so that later generations are now saddled with billions of lines of it.

What a cruel joke to play on posterity, a fitting companion to x86 ISA and BSD sockets.

SF to developer who tore down landmark house: Rebuild it exactly as it was
I have learn more geometry from trying to solve the unsolvable "squaring the circle" problem than all the Geom. classes I had in my life. For example: No one ever has told me in school that for all squares, the length of the diagonal equals The Square Root Of Two times the side of the square's, so for a square where the side is 1 meter, the diagonal will be Sq.Rt.o'2 meters (around 1,4 m), And I came to find that by myself doing the exercise of the unsolvable. Also, more recently early this year, I found that the diagonal/diameter of a Pentagon was the Cubic Root of 3, or this was the hexagon, and the heptagon was the S.q.rt.o'2 multiplied by C.rt.o'3 or something like this, the thing is that they follow a sequence, Its always something with the square and cubic roots of 2 and 3 and I guess 5 or 7 will appear later in the sequence for polygons with more sides, noting that for a "infinite sides 'polygon' " , which would be a circle, the number that relates the diagonal with the "'sides'", or in this analogy, the Perimeter , is Pi...Anyway, good exercises. p.s: I have remembered that back then I thought maybe Pi was Square Root of Infinity, and now just came to my mind that maybe would be the Infinite Root of something...But off course just joking thinking, but nice exercise.
Robotics is really broad field, and just by being a software engineer and also with your computer vision projects you've likely already started building a portfolio that a roboticist will be impressed by.

I think that building a physical robot is extremely valuable to anyone who wants to get into robotics. There's so many problems to solve and things to learn that just won't come up in simulation. That being said it might be better to first build your robot in simulation first, which is also extremely valuable to be able to do.

So, if you want my suggestion I would try and do all three of the things you listed. Pick a problem that sounds easy to start. And try to build a robot in simulation to do just that. Having this simulated environment set up will be invaluable for future endeavors too. Once you finish with that I think it will be extremely valuable to actually build your robot and try out the software there. Almost certainly it won't work the first time but that will be a valuable lesson too.

Another note, walking robots are in general very difficult to do well, quadcopters are more straightforward but still much more involved than the car to build from scratch. The car will be easier to get going, and will be more forgiving mechanically and with the controls. But that means you can quickly get into doing the higher-level motion planning if that's what you're interested in, and there are still interesting control and estimation problems to do there. And believe me even though it sounds very easy you will run into a lot of challenges you probably are not expecting.
> assuming equal spread of revenue.

But I would assume the cost it is not. With your PUBG example, it was known for bad optimization and vulnerability for hacking from the beginning. The developer could optimize for Windows and benefit 96% or more of their customers, while it is hard to justify do the same for the 0.8% user base while the spending is probably the same. So no, I don't think $4.8M is easy money.

And for smaller, even moderate successful titles, Linux version makes even less sense.

I don't know. The fact that it was done completely publicly (and therefore was discoverable and discovered immediately) basically moots any need for harsh penalties.

They were essentially testing the fences. That isn't bad, especially when it's done completely in the open. It gives the regulators an opportunity to say "no" and shut it down immediately if they want to, or say nothing and let it proceed.

If they say no, it doesn't happen long enough for anybody to really come to any harm.

And the alternative is that nobody is willing to try anything new just because there is no existing precedent explicitly saying that it's OK.
I’m not sure what the serving part has to do with it; if I have a ruby library and a python library and I use them from a Haskell app, I’m getting three runtimes, regardless of if they’re bundled together or not.
> Eliminate the profit motive, and the service will be cheaper, safer, and directly accountable to the people.

If that is universally the case, and there are no downsides, it would logically follow that everything needs to be nationalized.

Societies that tried that didn't fare well, though. So, clearly, it's not that simple. It may well be the case that this particular company would be better off as a non-profit, but the explanation can't be as simple as "safety" - practically everything has some safety aspect to it.
Thanks for clarifying the reason behind it!
TLDR; Several experts in the field have published an academic research report on the progress and made the following statement:

Given the current state of quantum computing and recent rates of progress, it is highly unexpected that a quantum computer that can compromise RSA 2048 or comparable discrete logarithm-based public key cryptosystems will be built within the next decade.

The report can be found here: https://www.nap.edu/catalog/25196/quantum-computing-progress...

"So from the commercial demise of the UCSD p-System in 1985 until Java was released in 1995, there was essentially no way for a program compiled only once to run on more than one kind of computer."

That seems to be utterly wrong.

Before UCSD-Pascal there's BCPL.

"The language was first implemented in 1967…"

"OCODE was specifically designed for BCPL and is a compromise between the desire for simplicity and the conflicting demands of efficiency and machine independence. OCODE is an assembly language for an abstract stack based machine that has a global vector and an area of memory for program and static data…" p152

The part that was grossly problematic was Robinhood falsely claiming it was SIPC-insured. SIPC insurance isn’t automatically granted. There isn’t any useful innovation limited by telling people “try new things, but don’t lie about having certifions you don’t have.”

If they knowingly participated in it, why not? In the military, where subordination is far stricter, there's still the concept of unlawful orders, and subordinates are expected to refuse to carry out such orders - and if they do not, they can be held accountable for that.

I really don’t get the whole “climate change and renewable energy are just a new form of political control”. What a load of hogwash. Oil and gas have histically been some of the largest contributors to political campaigns in the US. The “polictical elite” are literally oil industry people.
The GPL/AGPL restricts freedom zero too.

You can't run your code on a users computer without respecting the other three freedoms, and the AGPL goes even further and says you can't even run it on your own computers.

This was an argument I used to hear being made loudly and unironically by the MIT/BSD crowd in the 90s/00s.

To quote Stalman, free software isn't about having the source available any more than a library is about making books with movable type. It is about giving people the power to be programmers without selling their souls to Big Evil.

That essentially all the code that makes Amazon Amazon is DevOps code on how production code and hardware is managed is something no one could have seen in 2007.

Pretending that orchestration is not the most important part of the stack today is as ignorant as saying that source code doesn't matter because you have the binary version was in 1995, again something I've heard said unironically.

The AGPL, the most radical of the free software licenses, does not deal with the supporting code on how to deploy the software. The prosperity license does, because it's written by people who are in the trenches today. And it's completely free when you open source your full stack.
The study you referenced had the critique I wrote my reply towards.

I don't consider the study proving anything false.

If a person has no childhood trauma to speak of, it can be instilled in the subconscious and they're unable to process it. Psychology is built upon theories with little scientific basis of replicating the assertions. Observation is really all of psychology studies.

Simply, it's difficult or even impossible to provide evidence around problems surrounding the psych by what you're asking. Nobody can assert with science to how conscience is even real.

Your first sentence was alright. Afterwards you injected a political opinion into your comment.

"The reality is that business-wise he's actually working hard for America's economy, addressing structural nonsense like the mail post treaty." is a statement that a majority of the people in the U.S would disagree with.

If you want to make your comment unbiased to one political party or the other, then you should remove that sentence.
In that sense, our system is still a democracy. Even the Constitution can be arbitrarily amended with a large enough majority, after all.

I believe there are resources on this earth for the survival of human being now and in the future. I'm a bit taken a back at having to even argue this.

Further, global warming isn't hypothetical problem. The measures that experts and world-bodies are calling for to fight the problem aren't speculative but critically necessary - for those future generations that I somehow care about.

I've made the point already that the poor and the more impoverished nations can't pay the cost of global warming - this cost is going to have to come out of taxing the wealthy because there is no other source of resources here.

One might think that those with the greatest money and power would be most concerned with future generations - they're already guaranteed in the present so why not think about the future. Evidence doesn't point that way, unfortunately.

The current trend for present short-sighted policies to continue and even accelerate. Extreme global warming predictions are fortunately more speculative than immediate predictions. Sadly, we may get to discover how accurate those are.

Indeed, according to "The Most Important Software Innovations" [1]:

In computer programming, “a pseudo-code or p-code machine is a specification of a CPU whose instructions are expected to be executed in software rather than in hardware (ie, interpreted).” Basic Combined Programming Language (BCPL) is a computer programming language designed by Martin Richards of the University of Cambridge in 1966. He developed a way to make it unusually portable, by splitting the compiler into two parts: a compiler into an intermediate pseudo-code (which he called O-code), and a back-end that translated that into the actual machine code. Since the intermediate code could be exchanged between arbitrary machines, it enabled portability. Urs Ammann, a student of Wirth’s at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich, used the same approach in the 1970s to implement Pascal; this intermediate pseudo-machine code was called p-code, and popularized the technique (see Wirth’s “Recollections about the development of Pascal” ) Java is based on this fundamental approach, which enables compiled code to be run unchanged on different computer architectures (see “Java’s Forgotten Forbear”). Even many text adventure games have been built with this approach, most famously the Z-machine used to implement many Infocom games (such as Zork). BCPL also significantly influenced the C programming language, including its use of curly brackets {...}. No patent identified.

My employer is famous for hiring folks at executive levels from GE and I can tell you without doubt that most of them had been some of the the worse execs I have came across. I can easily see GE as frothing with some of the worst senior level clueless "talent" out there.

I think GE used to be great under Jack Welch because he ruthlessly demanded results. When you operate in that mode virtually anything works because everything other than success gets brutally weeded out. You can start any number of new businesses and the evolution system implemented by ruthless pruning eventually will yield successful species. After Welch left, GE decided to use most of his principles as blueprint except one: demand top notch results and ruthlessly weed out everything else. One company that operates like GE under Welsh these days is Amazon. It would be very hard for any exec to spend 5 years at Amazon without showing amazing results. On the other hand I know plenty of execs at big 5 tech who have sailed through for as much as decade by simply "managing up".
This echoes my thoughts on the matter. I'm weakly pessimistic I'll live to see RSA 4096 broken in my lifetime. I'm also weakly pessimistic I'll see RSA 2048 broken in the next two decades.

It's a funny place to be in for me, because I'm generally skeptical the majority of my research will be practically useful in any meaningful way in the near term :)
