The issue is that if the VM doesn't support tail calls or alternatives like unstructured goto then you're going to end up with two layers of emulation for such languages, rather than one. That's incredibly slow. Which is all fine and dandy, but people need to realize that WASM will not be nearly as performant as claimed, particularly when hosting other language runtimes.
Thanks for all the suggestions so far. I'll throw in several more favorites that have changed the way I think over the years, in no particular order:

* The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho

* Getting Things Done - David Allen

* The Worthing Saga - Orson Scott Card

* The 4-Hour Work Week - Timothy Ferriss

* The 5 Love Languages - Gary Chapman

I really like my XS. After getting used to the big screen on my 7+ and 8+ i find the XS a really nice tradeoff of having almost as much useful screen area while not having the formfactor of a Hershey bar.
Thanks for your summary of Hanabi!
You can find an example of your hypothetical AI in our recent paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1811.01458. Note that all the conventions and rules are learned though, rather than hand coded. And your 'giant lookup table', is just a feedforward neural network. We also link out 300 games in case you are curious to see how it works.
It's an ugly place. Immensely bloated libraries and frameworks, frequent churn of technologies based on what's the hot new buzzword of the moment, and everything feels like it's pretty much half-baked. "Memory efficiency? Need heard of it. What's that?" "CPU cycles? Just burn as much as you want because they're free!"
Ulysses, by James Joyce.

It will change your whole conception of what language is and how it can be used. It’s not about the characters or plots; they are recycled from antiquity. It’s about the absolute mastery of interrelation between words and imagery. It is something that has a meaning entirely emergent of its’ own self referential structure, rather than what is being described, in a sense that is almost mathematical. Realizing that was possible with writing really blew my mind.
And rapists are just humans that would up with the body in the wrong place?

Sorry man, I don't buy the "words can hurt" argument for people who for noble reasons or not break the law. People who overstay Visas or sneak across boarders, are breaking the law. They are illegally existing someplace they shouldn't be according to the laws of that land.

I fully support your rights to argue for open borders. I'll vote against that, but I'll support your 1A to petition the government.

Later we showed a much simpler algorithm for the O(u√n) running time. https://chaoxuprime.com/files/papers/subset-sum-simple.pdf

We have also prepared a journal version that combines those papers, and with some extra results. whomever interested can contact me.
On the other hand, with advancements such as HTTP/2, there's not a substantial reason to pack multiple scripts.
That is one usage pattern.

The alternatives aren't just visiting the main page while being logged out, but for instance hitting a thread or subreddit that is linked from another context. Like say a mobile app that uses a subreddit for the occasional announcement/discussion, which is where that nag popup gets really annoying.

I also visit several niche communities directly. And despite having a decade old account, if I want to comment I usually create a throwaway nym. Obviously that experience isn't as integrated as it could be, but that's the tradeoff we all have to make in the surveillance society!
Wittgenstein's Question
This is disappointing to hear, but to anyone who is deterred by this comment from reading it in English, don't be. Even in English, the book was undoubtedly one of the best books I have ever read. There's something about it that makes you go "What happens next?!" for all 400 odd pages of it, and before you know it, you're at the end. It's truly a masterpiece - Bulgakov spent 10 years writing the final version of the novel after burning his initial manuscript twelve years prior in 1928, but as you will come to learn, manuscripts don't burn ;)
Most people don't spend $800 on a phone. They just add a $40/month lease onto their bill. Hurts a bit less that way.
Yes, but actively communicating with some of the other players through agreed conventions would probably count as collusion and be illegal in N-player poker..
Writing a Complete Program
Does anyone have any recommendations for reading up on the Russian Revolution? Books, videos, or otherwise.
Not really. I don't claim to have proof that there is no god. I merely assert that not existing is the default state in the face of evidence-less existence claims. There could be a god, but that possibility has no bearing on how I live my life. If you want to ascribe a set of beliefs to me, the closest might be secular humanism.
It didn't blow up like the comment-editing incident, but I was referring to https://www.reddit.com/r/redditdev/comments/7a2mle/possible_...
If the issue of too many DOM elements is memory use, wouldn't it be better to just limit the memory use of a page?

Apologies if this is a really ignorant question as I know very little about browsers/front end development.
Hopefully you change the recommended tools based on the OS. (i.e. OSX would be slightly different from linux for certain commands). And focus on doing as much as possible from the command line?
Here it's a bit different. We have special taxes that only apply to utes/vans/trucks and our annual fees are based on the engine size of the vehicle (with a bonus fee for utes/vans). I traded my ute in for a smaller car about a year ago and my yearly fees have halved, my on-road costs have halved, etc. I do agree that you have an odd cultural fascination with them, that's why I don't think they'd sell well here. We are trending smaller nowadays.

If this is the future, I know a lot of web apps that will need retooling. That is just enough space for react (+react-dom). We’ll have to split up react and web apps themselves in future apps if chrome goes this route; although I suppose that’s marginally better for caching performance.
I just created this account this morning. I've only been reading HN for about a week after my employer finally blocked reddit.

Are you saying that you didn't see any of those articles where the FBI put pressure on Apple for backdoors to the iphone?

But okay, I'm a Chinese shill. Forgive me for thinking commenters on HN weren't as bad as on reddit.
Specific native features that you're missing are platform controls, better UI performance, and support for APIs like notifications.
Fascinating! Just ordered it, thanks :-)
I think opioids are in a very special spot. There are very few drugs that are as intensely addictive and as harmful as opioids and are used in medical profession. In particular, ketamine is nowhere near as addictive or harmful as opioids. Your point is valid, we should be careful, but we should also recognize the special status of opioids.
Chrome feels slower to me, plus speed is not the #1 concern is it now? Firefox.

Carders and fake ID manufacturers would be right in line with Abagnale's life. Everyone gets caught in the long run, the key is getting out of one scam and into a new one before you get busted.

Or wide angle. Or low light performance. Or depth of field control. Or the best autofocus and high-speed shooting. Or just the quality that comes from a larger sensor.

I don't disagree with your basic point. If you're mostly shooting casual photos in mid focal lengths, smartphones are indeed increasing great and better than most point & shoot cameras have ever been whether film or digital. I use one a lot of the time even though I have plenty of other camera equipment because they often are good enough.
You are correct, but I think you are overlooking a peripheral advantage: (relative) fidelity to the model.

I have sent countless patients to therapists purporting to do DBT, CBT, PE, and others - only to review those sessions with them and hear about poorly delivered supportive therapy with questionable boundaries.

EMDR seems to be delivered with something approximating the actual therapeutic model as studied somewhere around 50% of the time. Which, sadly, is pretty good.
I can understand a developer/company wanting to do the app route to regain control (and not having to deal with the annoying inconsistencies/hacks in different browsers/versions), but is ad / tracker blocking really the major driver of going the app route?
I haven't downvoted any article or comment on HN. Lovely to see how welcoming this community is to newcomers.
A lot of subreddits had that happen to them. It's sad because they are choosing who can speak and who cannot.
The other problem with TCP the assumption that packet loss is caused by congestion. That's why a 2% loss causes more than a 2% drop in bandwidth. Unfortunately, congestion is no longer a problem on the modern internet. [1]

The two are related. Work on Never Slow Mode stopped last fall. It picked up after the WebKit/Safari discussions last week. I doubt Chrome will ship a "never slow mode" but I see looser budgets, a la WebKit proposal.
They are building camouflage for advertising.
Martin Eden by Jack London. Really stressed why education actually matters.

Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. Same.
Basic premise: it is undignified and immoral to buy things from people who labor tremendously and still live at a different standard of living, and to give those things for free to people here, at our standard of living. That just strikes me as incredibly twisted and immoral.

Imagine the look of those people in China who have to work to produce Tracfones, if they saw their Tracfone just given out to someone here for free, who didn't do anything to earn it? Imagine how they would feel? That feeling is not about revenge, it's about you denying them basic dignity. You're saying to him or her: you're a Chinaman, you have to do work, but we just take your work and give it to people for free. They must be better than you! They don't have to do anything because they're American. But you, you're just an inferior person from China so you have to work.

That's a brutal injustice in my opinion.
The Era of General Purpose Computers Is Ending
When you put it like that, it sounds as if you mean that these articles are incorrect. Do you actually mean that?

The one quoted by GP seems to be largely right: We didn't reverse by 2000, and various island states are beyond hope now. Even if the CO₂ emissions drop to zero tomorrow, the present amount of CO₂ in the atmosphere will drive the sea level too high for the Maldives and a few more states. If you want to buy real estate there, you should plan on recovering your investment quickly.

They aren't typing it to see if it compiles. They are typing it because somebody else makes the hire decision and they need a record of what happened in the interview.
I am not a muslim and see multiple sides of islam but you cannot just say- Qu'ran you have to mention the editor as well. (Unless you read the original arabic version).

It matters a lot since I've seen eastern books having hugely varying translations.

For example, an Indian friend of mine tells me that 'I am become God ... ' is a very inaccurate representation of the original hindi text
What's fact is what is being stated on Twitter, not that the content itself is fact. People are known to say inaccurate, untruthful things. Is it wrong to report what people state?

You completely misunderstood what I meant.

For example, if someone Tweets that the earth is flat and the news reports this statement, the reported statement is fact because someone can go to Twitter and read that profiles tweets and there's clear evidence that this account represents said person, even if they didn't physically write the tweet.

The tweet itself is not fact, for obvious reasons. You can apply this to any ignorant statement anyone has ever uttered.

This is what I hear, as an avid news listener, whenever a tweet is the subject. Its simply someones written, public testimony. To not report these things, makes no sense.
It might be called 'victim of a crime'.

I think you might be conflating characteristics regarding delimited and symmetric coroutines. But let's step back.

JavaScript's and Python's choice of coroutine styles was constrained and effectively dictated by runtime limitations. CPython, V8, and similar implementations mix their C and assembly callstacks with their logical language callstacks. Because the host runtimes didn't readily support multiple stacks without a complete rewrite, this bled into the language runtime. There was a path dependency whereby early implementation choices directed the evolution of the language semantics.

WASM is recapitulating the same cycle. Which is understandable because time is limited and you can't make the perfect the enemy of the good, but you still have to recognize it for what it is--a vicious cycle of short sightedness. If WASM doesn't provide multiple stacks as a primitive resource, then things like stackful coroutines, fibers, etc, will have to be emulated (at incredible cost, given WASM's other constraints regarding control flow). And if they have to be emulated they'll be slow, which means languages will continue avoiding them.
Which has nothing to do with the content.
I've never seen that happen. I only see it when I'm logged out on computer.
There are rumors about a homescreen revamp for iPads in iOS 13, I wonder if that will finally allow widgets mixed in with app icons.

I also wonder why it would be iPad specific given that the phones are so damn big, but that's what the rumors say.
A used leaf doesn't appeal to a lot of people.

A lot of used leafs are down to 60-80 miles of usable range, IIRC the average American commutes something like 15 miles each way, missing a charge or adding errands can put someone in a tight spot. And the weather in most American cities is 'extreme' - either winter is very cold (bad for battery range) or hot (bad for battery longevity in the leaf). My old city of minneapolis would have winter lows near -40 degrees C and would hit 38-40 degrees C every summer. That's very demanding for batteries.

America doesn't have a lot of charging infrastructure and unless you're a homeowner or live in a luxury apartment or work at a tech company or a company with an i.t competency, it's probably going to be hard to charge regularly.

Our cheap gas erodes the cost advantages of electric, you can find priuses (a Toyota hybrid) for $3k in any major city and that's going to give an electric car a serious run for its money in energy costs.
I don't think it's correct to claim CRA and its peers are against code splitting. Dynamic import is a well-documented way to achieve this:

Make sure you educate yourself on what those pills you're taking do and follow through a treatment, not just take them indefinitely.
"edgelords"? Really? That's the best word you found to describe them?
Kaizen seems to be manufacturing's equivalent of agile. Everyone says they do it, but almost no one actually does it because that would mean totally re-configuring their business.
I am never nagged. I use RES on desktop to modify a few things, among others a dark theme. I use the RIF dark theme. Works pretty similarly.
I assume it would actually be worse than that. You're only looking at the entrainment industry, but most other industries would be impacted by this as well.

I know that they added an exception for source code, but that doesn't really cover all the things you would like as a developer, because sometimes you need to include additional stuff with code. Also, good luck trying to separate code from some other types of copyrighted text automatically. It probably wouldn't work.
A multi-repository documentation website generator for AsciiDoc
There'd be a lot of waste with that with pipes and electrical connections leading no where and at best lots of extra framing around the non existing doors that would be cut out to install the new section. There's also the issue of how to deal with the roof and cladding that would have to be sealed completely between the two sections against water and pests. It's doable but there's a lot of unavoidable work that'd have to be done to connect the two bits properly on top of whatever additional site preparation to extend the footprint of the foundation.

That work would be a big portion of the cost of adding on to a house much like additions are made now.
"Here, help us pay our bills instead."
That seems like a weird way of looking at it.

As a price-conscious Corolla purchaser, I don't really care if Bugatti's latest highest-end car costs $2 or $3 million dollars. It's not what I'm buying.
(Not) using std:thread (2012)
Reddit is a top 20 globally ranked site that does not come anywhere close to performing at the level of other sites that share a similar popularity.

In my mind, they fail their users in three distinct and pretty basic ways:

1. Site reliability is still a regular issue (my perception is this is due to both infrastructure problem and show stopping application bugs).

2. Bad UX practices that get implemented that are documented all over this thread. This is a mostly new thing that seems to have started in the past few years.

3. Continuously underdeveloping or cutting back moderator tools and 3rd party integrations/applications.

I am not judging the individuals that work at reddit, but the sum of their parts do not meet the expectations that most other sites of their popularity meet.

This is, of course, from the eyes of someone who uses reddit - not someone selling ads on reddit.

Insufflation is the word you're looking for.

That's also untrue. IM, and IV are most faster come offs then insufflation or eating it. Though eating ketamine sucks for the amount you need.

What is true about IV is you can control the amount that actually gets taken in much better.
It's weird to me to see more investment in reddit as it mostly feels like it's gone downhill. It could be my own interests but most of the subreddits who don't have an outside feed (around a game like overwatch, or primary/secondary major city sub) just have been withering away and it's those niches that makes reddit 'stick.' The new design/company focus seems to feel directly in contrast to the staying power that the niche-ness provides and I am not sure how far apart these two points are.
So you’d agree better targeting is needed?
Perhaps you might consider yourself to be agnostic?
Both of these look pretty nice, but after some tripadvisor-sleuthing I'm not really convinced that they're quite "michelin-quality". One strong clue would be the apparent lack of a sommelier.

Don't forget their still live email signup approach.

Clicking 'Signup" brings you to a single email form field screen that in no way indicates you do NOT need to provide an email.

Clicking 'Next' without entering one lets you create your username and PW without an email address.

As a marketer, I understand (but don't condone or agree with) the thinking behind some of what they've done, but as a user of over a decade, I'm nervous about the direction they've been taking the service, and this is not good news IMHO.
I'd also like to point out that the crime rates were a LOT worse back in the 1970s, and have been steadily falling ever since then. There's even a theory that leaded gasoline is to blame. Anyhow, even with worse street crime back in the 70s-80s, Americans simply weren't paranoid back then like they are now. Back then, kids routinely ran around by themselves with no adult supervision, and this is now unheard of in suburbia, even though the crime rates are a small fraction of what they were back then, and kidnappings were never a common thing.
For superteles, f-stops matter because of shutter speed, and increasingly, autofocus performance. It's a unique portion of the photography world, to be sure, but you don't have to be a pro to see real material benefit from an additional f-stop.

Sneaking through the jungle near dusk, shooting 800mm f/8 handheld on a crop body, there's not much I wouldn't do for an extra stop.

They've really fixed the effectiveness of their ads with the site redesign, so maybe the increased valuation is worth it. Not really something end consumers notice, but as an advertiser I definitely have.
