Most runtimes are fairly small, and most issues could be done away with by either the browser storing common runtimes (Search for x, then checking hashes etc.) or by compiling statically against the parts you actually use.

This is still not conclusive, as the runtimes will probably have to be significantly modified (at the ABI/System level, so around the edges) given that they will have to get memory from the browser etc. This leaves much room for WASM specific optimisation, especially given that the actual (let's say) garbage collector implementation is probably quite small compared to the code used to interface to it.

Writing C++ defensively (i.e. Do what the guidelines tell you, Preach Andrei and Bjarne etc), and using sanitizers cleans up a huge amount of C++ code.

As for competitors to hfm/epm: there are a few (onestream, tagetik, whatever sap is peddling...). But it doesn’t matter, all this thing about auditing will go away when every Oracle customer is forced at gunpoint to move to cloud versions - where they can be squeezed for more money at the touch of a button. Hfm licenses, for example, are basically not sold anymore unless you get special blessing from an Oracle VP; it’s FCCS or nothing.

It depends. Especially if by spring water you mean normal bottled water. Don't assume that their water quality will be water. In many cases, bottled water is worse than local water.
That's incorrect. You could specialize classes on the fly (and the opcodes for all reference types are the same, anyway). It's just that it's a bad idea to reify generics of reference (and so subtypable) types. You gain little and lose much.

The torts system is almost certainly co-opting the criminal justice system, not the other way around.

It's precisely because of some law needing to be fair to hammer manufacturers, who literally no one cares about, that gun manufacturers, which pretty much everyone does care about, can do shitty things in this country. You're thinking in terms of law, and I'm talking about a court of public opinion.

And even if you litter (pretty much the worst a normal person can do in the court of public opinion re: pollution), we don't need years to litigate that in a court of law.

And yet, it took five years to litigate the BP Horizon spill, even though there's camera footage showing oil coming out of their derrick in real time. What was there to litigate there? Who really cares whether it's $18.7 billion, or $187 billion, or $1.8 billion, other than the BP chairman? Who really cares what they think, in the court of public opinion?

No normal person is ever going to have $18.7 billion to lose, nor will ever have the capability of doing the kind of environmental damage BP's bad oil platform did. So why allow environmental law to even adjudicate the matter, over years, which has never once, ever, delivered maximum justice to the public?

Why compromise on our values and the environment, constantly, to protect some essentially unproven economic logic that BP, or DuPoint, or whoever, generate more value for some community somewhere in "jobs" or whatever than the damage they did by polluting?

The primary normative question in that case: Should we just shut down BP? We didn't need 5 years of negotiations to resolve that, we didn't need any more evidence or calculations. Someone in the justice department, in an afternoon, made the determination that BP won't be closed, and then a complex legal strategy was pursued, by both sides, for five years, to generate the illusion of justice to execute on that determination.

Pollution cases act like criminal cases, and they shouldn't be! The whole problem is reductive, slow, storied, legalistic reasoning, and reductive, unproven economic aphorisms.

Indeed, I definitely am not happy with how much control Google has over the Internet in general. Everything from how they present and rank search results, Google Analytics scripts everywhere, the sometimes vaguely-political messages on their homepage, the ostensibly-anti-bot checks including CAPTCHAs and just plain banning you if you want to do more "advanced" searches (like the ones Fravia would've taught...), etc.

Correct. Your reCAPTCHAv3 (which is the new completely challenge-less version that doesn't even make you click a checkbox) score is a good indication of how much reCAPTCHAv2 (the clickbox version) will fuck around with you.

You could ship the stuff home... Yes I know that's probably not realistic but here in Japan for example it's extremely common to ship your luggage to the airport the day before and/or ship it home from the airport on the way back. I've done it a few times.

It's also common to buy things at a store like a PC or printer or microwave and have them delivered instead of carrying them home.

Japan's shipping services are relatively cheap and generally pretty good at delivering in 2hr windows
> It's one of the situations that have been proscribed. In this case by the Public Order Act 1986.

You just claimed you have free speech. Now you're citing a specific law making it illegal to not be deferential enough to police. These two points conflict.

I think they need to fix this bug, or at least give a message that the CAPTCHA won't be solved so we no longer waste our time.

Their No CAPTCHA's are very rare for me when I'm browsing logged in to my personal google account under the same session, on a normal browser.

They can be confident I'm not some kind of a bot, yet they still require me to solve on average two different tests to train their "AI".
As some recent stories showed, the problem (if any) isn’t so much your DNA, as that of relatives. Deletion requests aren’t going to be much help here, unless you can convince a rather large majority of people to follow along.

Fundamentally, this seems to be one of those “negative externalities” that you cannot protect yourself from with individual action. Nor can I think of any technological fixes that would allow these companies to continue offering the same features without storing this data. Although they could obviously offer stripped down versions where you get an analysis one and data is erased afterwards.

The only promising route I can see here is a political / legal framework establishing a transparent process with high hurdles to the use of this data. I believe other medical data is already protected in such a way, i. e. with a higher standard, and more oversight than, say, a plumber’s files or even financial data. Genetic data seems to creep people out across all typical political boundaries, and this should be an easy sell.
Hehe, this part had me smiling:

When every subway stop has elevators, then we cannot talk. Until then, try transporting kids or groceries using the subway. When the sidewalks are cleared of construction scaffolding, bike share racks blocking sidewalks or crazy grown adults dressing like Spider-Man, or psychotic homeless harassing people, then maybe we can talk.

As far as climate change; if NYC went to zero CO2, it wouldn’t make a single bit of difference compared to a single day’s worth of pollution compared to a small Chinese or Indian city. Perhaps a tariff on all goods and services from China or India would be more effective than banning cars in NYC. Banning cars from NYC would have a cosmetic effect on climate change and nothing more. And, in case you weren’t aware, cars already pay huge costs in NYC. It costs over $10 just to cross a bridge or tunnel into NYC. They don’t pay a toll to leave NYC: so someone is getting money just for a car to enter the city.

I dislike the assumption that the backenders don't care.

I personally do. But I'm never given the choice to make a site lean. The priority is always "make it work" which is of course the right thing to do first, but after that nobody gives you time to make it smaller and faster. There's always the next ticket in the backlog and you cannot argue.

So please, don't bash backenders. Many of us care and do our best with the very limited time budget we manage to STEAL to do optimizations. But proper optimizations require dedicated time and effort with focused sessions -- and we are never given those.
IIRC, ESA mandates 11 operators for their mission control centers that operate 24/7.
That's basically Gradle and if you think cmake is bad you haven't seen some of monstrosities that can be created when you open up a whole programming language.

From what I've seen cargo gets most of the parts right. You can have a programmatic pre-build script bit can't take over the whole building process.
TV in the 80s/90s was limited to a handful of channels. Now you have unlimited channels with YouTube, Netflix et al. Also gaming in the 90s was you'd play one game till the end. Today kids (and adults) jump in true adhd style between the ~100 games they got for free from the app store. Rarely finishing a game till the end.

As a kid I remember having to create my own games and toys using nature (sticks, stones, etc). Today kids get handed a toy and they play. Not much thought is given to creation just consumption. Same with TV/entertainment media.

So comparing the old days to new days is a misnomer.

One thing that's been known for a long time is that boredom breeds creativity. Hence why folks go on sabbaticals, walks etc... when your mind is constantly consumed consuming it doesn't have time to create. And these patterns lead to consumer habits. On the kids front most parents have seen what happens to their kids when they over consume media. Idiocracy (the movie) nailed this issue well.
I think it's very promising, but it definitely has some rough spots.

Things I like:

* It's a general purpose language, it's not only usable on the front-end (like Elm for example).
* It's a really powerful language (or rather, OCaml is).
* Interop with JS is good. It takes a bit to get used to the syntax for writing bindings, but once you get the hang of it it's pretty straightforward. Again, ReasonML IMO scores a lot better in this front than Elm.
* ReasonReact is a very thin wrapper around React, so if it's really easy to work with if you already know React.
* There are other options than ReasonReact, for example bucklescript-tea [1] which is very Elm like.
* There seems to be a lot of focus on targeting native. See for example Esy [2]. There's some real potential in bs-react-native [3] and Revery [4].
* Overall the experience of working with Reason is really great. The compiler has your back, is great at type inference and the syntax is pretty elegant (though IMO a little less so than Elm).
* The compiler is blazingfly fast. Blows Typescript and Babel out of the water.

Things that are a bit rough:

* Docs are spread across Reason docs, Bucklescript docs and OCaml docs. A lot features are not documented in Reason, because they're inherited from OCaml. If you would read just the Reason docs you might get the impression that's a pretty small and simple language, but it's actually very powerful. If you're thinking about picking up Reason I definitely recommend you read the RealWorldOCaml book [5].
* The Reason syntax is a bit weird in some spots. If you make a syntax error the compiler will in most cases just yell `Error: Syntax error` at you which is not really helpful.
* The ReasonReact API feels a bit alien, probably because it's build on top of the React Class API. I think there a bit some big changes coming to ReasonReact though, so hopefully this will change.

Things that concern me:

* There's little formal communication about the direction and future of the project. It seems to be mostly Facebook who's behind it, it doesn't feel like a community project at all. Bucklescript seems to be largely a one man show.
* There have been a handful of Bucklescript and Reason releases that plain broke stuff. Of course this can happen, but it does make me a feel a little uneasy.

All in all I'm definitely positive. There's a lot of potential and hopefully when Reason picks up some more steam it can become more a community project.

Bolt Is Hiring in SF, SLC, NYC, and Toronto
SCons in particular is along the lines of the latter, in that its. But it never really caught on, IMO.

Probably one of the biggest features in a configure/build/packaging software package is ubiquity, IMO. Ideally C/C++ would have had a prescribed-but-not-required thing like cargo/setuptools/go get/etc. IMO CMake is probably the least bad offering these days.
I've seen those ones too, and was planning on writing a filter that replaces the "normal" ones with the noscript one, on the assumption that it was just someone not copying in a "<noscript>...</noscript>" fragment, but since you mention "is only available on sites that have opted to use the lowest security setting", I suspect that won't work.

Accessibility guidelines used to mandate that content was accessible without JS, which may be the reason why the noscript version exists, but it seems the latest revision has unfortunately removed that requirement. No, I will not run arbitrary code on my computer just to access your site...
I tried to learn CMake 4-5 years ago and just gave up. Cumbersome, weird ......
> Why does the nytimes offer translations into Chinese? I've never seen that for articles to do with Russia for example?

I think it started because they tried to start a Chinese edition for the PRC, but that was eventually blocked after they published a story the communists didn't like.

Maybe continuing to pay for translations is not too expensive in the grand scheme of things, and keeps them well-positioned (with mind-share and the like) if there's ever a thaw and they're unblocked.

This has tripped me up as well. I’m somewhat sure now that only the bulbs matter. I have also had higher success rates when not marking tiles that contain only a very small part of what they are asking for. They are sort of teaching me to better approximate more careless people.
Because teflon is not by definition a PFA (PerfluoroAlkoxyAlkane). It is C2F4, while PFAs are C2F3O?? (where there is an oxygen cooridinated reactive fluoro group dangling off at the ??)

Teflon is non-reactive and does not have these health issues. However PFAs can be byproducts of the manufacture of teflon, and they can be used in similar ways to teflon (they allow high temperature molding of corrosion resistant materials). The primary contamination issue is with this byproduct, particularly when it was manufactured, sold and used as a fire suppressing foam.

The people who dumped that crap and covered it up deserve jail time, but uninformed fear mongering doesn't serve the public either.
There’s no boundary. If you live on the surface of an expanding balloon, where’s the boundary of expansion/creation? There isn’t one. It’s expanding uniformly at every point.
Is it not monopolistic behavior that Google favors their own customers in their captchas?

I hope the EU fines Google for leveraging their security library prevalence to coerce people to use Chrome and/or open Google accounts.

I also wonder if that’s GDPR compliant: unless you accept Google’s data collection terms on GMail and/or Chrome products, they will use their position as security authority to degrade your browsing experience on third party sites.

Civ isn’t really that complicated compared to sc — “real-time” play is a big burden, and dramatically increases the search space.

I think the bigger blocker is that civ has no real tournaments to fuel AI popularity, that the game (and 4X in general) is likely buggier due to less online-play (meaning the AI is likelier to get trapped exploiting uninteresting bugs) and at least newer games are probably somewhat unoptimized and will have longer simulation times (thus slower training) (both valve and blizzard are quite good about making games playable on a toaster; Firaxis is.... not.)
I don't know which frameworks do real time multi-user updates but that's a feature of many of Google's apps I would miss if it wasn't there.

I have Keep open on my laptop, my work desktop, my phone, and sometimes my tablet. If I edit on one the edits show up everywhere else without refreshing which is important because I might be sitting at my desk, type a few things into a list, walk down the hall, get out my phone, add a few more things.

Maybe people can suggest which frameworks handle that for you vs which ones you'd have to role your own solution.

Assuming that linear account works.

Most of the build issues that a user will face is there system not matching the developers.

We can have pretty complicated logic (arbitrary logic in most build systems) for probing the build system, and much of this logic will inevitably get lost when compiling a linear script.

Once you put all of the complexity in the compiled script, I don't think you've gained anything over "make clean ; make" (or equivelent)
> Suspects can be held without charge for as long as 23 days, and they have no right to a lawyer during questioning. Prosecutors also have the power to forbid family visits. When the 23-day period expires, a suspect can be rearrested for another offense, resetting the clock to zero. And once someone has been indicted, the outcome is all but predetermined, leaving defense attorneys to focus on coaching their clients to confess in the least damaging way.

The U.S. criminal justice system receives a lot of (arguably well-deserved) flak, but this seems almost borderline inhumane. Is "innocent until proven guilty" not important in Japan like it is in the U.S.?
