As far as I know WebAssembly in uBlock Origin is currently used for two things:

1. Matching the $domain option using an optimized Trie data-structure

2. Parsing domains using the public suffix list, also based on a Trie data-structure

I would love someone well-acquainted with the uBlock Origin code-base to update the benchmark so that we can compare.

Edit: All the code to create the dataset (as well as the dataset used for the study itself) and to run the benchmark and analyze the results (create the plots, etc.) is available on the repository and should be reasonably easy to run locally.
> I think the most interesting part of this is the offline capability.

I agree -- that's the aspect that makes this potentially appealing to me.
Regulatory capture and "understandings" between supervising authorities and commercial operators that boarder on corruption, unsolved waste problem, very slow ramp-ups and ramp-downs which are annoying for the grid and a lot of things I don't understand well as an astrophysicist either. But both friends I have in the nuclear energy field have become very anti nuclear power and would rather see it shut down tomorrow instead of next year.
afaik, in Chrome Web Assembly works fine when used inside Workers.

Again, seeing that my first experience as a hobbyist was rewriting programs in assembly in the 80s that were too slow in higher languages on a 1Mhz 65C02 based computer, my second job as a professional was dissecting C compiler output to see how I could optimize the code generated or at times rewrite it in x86 assembly (custom printer drivers for industrial printers) and my third job was optimizing a proprietary compiler/IDE for Windows Mobile devices. I think I have a little more experience optimizing code than someone who has been doing it “for six years”.
The analytical solution wouldn't involve any training, you'd solve a system of equations where position of the finger is equal to where the goal is constrained by the equations which tell you how an arm moves.

The advantage of the RL approach is that it doesn't need to know how an arm moves but then involves some training.
I wont switch. 80% of my ubers get expensed. Keep me fat and happy with rewards, and I'll keep expensing it regardless of the cost, which doesnt really effect me, only our controller.
The impression I’ve always gotten is that it’s a combination company town (in the old, bad sense) and a testbed for massive surveillance. I think all of the rest is fluid to the point of insensibility.
Explaining Docker Images and Docker Client
His claim is absurd. The easily checked facts on the ground show new nuclear being several times more expensive than renewables in the US, on a levelized basis.

The president of Exelon, a US corporation that operates 23 nuclear powerplants, has stated that effective CO2 taxes would have to be $300/ton or higher for new nuclear powerplants to compete with natural gas in the US. And yet, wind and solar are increasingly competing with and winning against gas here.
yes, almost. the middlemen are still taking ~1%, which everyone pays for through higher prices. wouldn't you rather have lower prices on everything and not have to worry about which card to use to get which points to claw back some of that cash?

to be fair, one needs to experience the current credit card rigamarole to realize that straight lower prices are less complicated and preferable. i get tired of having to remember to cash in my points in a convoluted system involving yet another third party (the rewards provider).

Yes, I think there are certain domains specially spyware, malware that need to be blocked altogether and DNS blocking is the most optimal way for that, specially considering the wide adoption of IoT, where extensions cannot run.
> Google is a developer like any other here.

They are a developer, but they are proposing a model where they sacrifice up front returns and absorb more of the downstream risk.

I'm not sure why this is a bad thing, unless the share of revenue they are suggesting is out of line with the the effective subsidy level and absorbed risk.
If it's a hot-fix for ISP troubles then I can imagine it being overlooked. Nobody working at Google would ever fail to connect to 8.8.8.8 while developing it.
I think you’re overestimating how independent each instruments section of the frequency spectrum is, even after mixing engineers cutting EQ to make places like you said.

The reality is, even instruments like kick drum or bass guitar have significant tonal content above 200hz, much of it overlapping with the guitar and vocal ranges.
Really good question. The short version is that CoreOS is a generic container based distro. Talos is not. It is designed with the goal of making a machine a Kubernetes node in a fast and reliable way. We don't use systemd, but a pure Golang init that is Kubernetes aware.
Culture is very important. I used to work for a series of startups in open office environments where you're working on Jira tickets close to 100% of your day. Now, I'm working for a large company with bigger and more private desks with more downtime. It's expected that you watch programming talks and do research, and you're given more time to do that. It's a very nice change. Instead of only plowing away on endless bug fixes, we're improving our skills and getting better.

Interview with a Suicider
We are talking about an exceptional case here. The patent owner is a wealthy and extentric agent who disregarts potential profit from selling/licensing/using the patent. And even in such rare and unexpected cases the public eventually gains access to inventions - which is not neccessarely the case for inventions kept secret. Basically, the society trades speed of technological development for certaininity of achieving its goals.
I would point out the Google Fiber rollout in Louisville as a better example of what they want to do: Create an experimental infrastructure for their own benefit, that may or may not provide long term value to residents.

Google ripped up the roads in Louisville to install fiber with an experimental methodology, and then abandoned it after it became clear the experiment failed. Rather than fix it, they're just going to leave. Louisville spent a ton of money fighting to bring Google in, gave them tons of allowances to do things nobody else would've been allowed to do, and got left holding the bag.

Since Google's fiber install was bad, Louisville can't even use the network after they leave. It's just trash.

Especially given the Louisville example, Toronto residents should fight like heck to not end up paying for Google's experiments.

They ensure they grow up in nice zip codes, provide social connections that make a difference when entering the labor force, help with internships, aid with tuition and home-buying, and schmooze with college admissions officers. All the while, they support policies and practices that protect their economic position and prevent poorer kids from climbing the income ladder: legacy admissions, the preferential tax treatment of investment income, 529 college savings plans, exclusionary zoning, occupational licensing, and restrictions on the immigration of white-collar professionals.

I don't qualify.

Edit: I should elaborate. There are companies out there offering internships that I would die for. I don't mean FAANG stuff or Big 5 or whatever. I'm talking small shops like Teenage Engineering or medium sized business like Ableton or Native Instruments. I have been put in an awkward position where I have experience working full time as a developer, but I'm not necessarily learning anything or developing my skills. It sucks not being able to qualify for a certain subset of entry-level opportunities because I'm not apart of the college/university institutions. I will be keeping my head up as the position I am in may just be what forces me to be extraordinary at what I do.

Perhaps I could've explained myself better. I meant that all the business logic of the components (i.e. event handlers, lifecycle hooks, setState() calls, etc.) run on the server, unlike just the initial server-side rendering that React provides. The server maintains the state of all components, and when an event occurs, the client notifies the server to run the appropriate event handler.

> I wouldn't be surprised if the mining cost of rare Earth's used to maintain broken solar units surpasses it it's so insignificant.

Yeah, there's plenty of very unpleasant chemistry involved in making PV panels and I strongly doubt that the wastes involved in the associated mining/manufacturing/disposal processes are treated anywhere nearly as carefully as nuclear waste (not to speak of the fact that due to sheer energy density difference, PV panels will produce far more waste than nuclear fuel/reactors).
It's an absolute shame that you were involuntarily committed only to not get any help while you were in hospital, but are you taking the position that the hotline people shouldn't call the police if they think you're hanging up in order to kill yourself?
> Perfect way of showing that Google's performance argument is bullshit: just measure.

I want to repeat here that this _does not_ show that the performance argument is bullshit. What we can say that it shows is that existing content blockers whose functionality the community is concerned about losing are largely performant enough that performance isn't a concern for that subset of extensions.

We can in turn conclude that there may be other ways of solving the general performance concern that the existing API poses by other clever means, such as limiting execution time and disabling extensions that violate those deadlines, or UX changes that allow the user to more readily distinguish which extensions are causing performance issues.

Continuing to push the narrative that the performance concerns are bullshit and a pretext for disabling ad-blockers is hurting the cause of allowing the existing APIs to continue to exist.

Mprotect should in fact work, but it is likely more expensive than actual process separation. Resurrecting segments or using virtualization hardware in userspace (see libdune) might be workable solutions.

The issue is that speculation allows bypassing software enforced bound checking, but, discounting meltdown, the hope is that hardware can still enforced them.
Most certainly - I'd expect its way higher.

They were referred to bio-robots.

There are a few documentaries about them. A lot of elderly volunteered to be a bio-robot.

They're not normalised, no. But the theme holds true. We have about 80% more solutions submitted per day and about 500% more comments per day. So engagement per solution is much higher.

It's also worth pointing out that this whole thing is dramatically evolving. It may be that you're a more "expert" developer and doing the more complex problems that means you're effectively lower in the queue (harder to mentor than basic solutions). Things like https://exercism.io/blog/automated-mentoring-support-project aim to free up our mentors to give them more time to deal with the harder problems. And things like https://github.com/exercism/exercism/issues/4658 and https://exercism.io/blog/track-anatomy-project aim to make mentoring easier and more enjoyable, which means we keep mentors around for longer and they mentor more because it's more fun for them. It may also be that you're on a track that has had 5x or 20x growth (I'm not sure if there are any but you get the idea) in which case the speedbump might have corresponded more to the growth of that track than v2.

If you don't mind telling me your exercism handle, I'd be interested to dig into your situation further to understand why you hit that speedbump. It's easy for me to talk in terms of data, but I'm limited to seeing the general patterns rather than hearing real people's stories such as yours, so it's really valuable for me to understand. Feel free to email me (jeremy@exercism.io) if you don't want to disclose it on here :)
I can’t wait.

Seriously, of all instruments, things like vocals are one of the most heartbreaking to work on and learn. Born male and want to sound like a female singer? You’ll never be able to do that. Same applies for women who wish they had male singing voices. It simply isn’t possible (with the rare exception, I guess).

Or maybe you just don’t like your voices timbre. You can take lessons for years and learn to sing on pitch, and you can alter your vocal tone, but you can’t control every aspect that gives your voice it’s unique sound.

I guess sometimes you just have to be happy with what you have.

I don't know what to say about this because as a lifelong value investor I cannot accept the valuation of Uber based on it's earnings.

No, 12 years of post-doc with 5 first authors: “after working in several postdoctoral positions over the course of 12 years, I started applying for tenure-track and other permanent positions. At this point, I had 19 peer-reviewed publications, including 5 as first author”

He did start trying that no later than 11 years before you seem to think, since at the same 12 years point referenced is when “[i]n the next 3 years, I sent out more than 100 applications to academic institutions, to the private sector and to government agencies (predominantly in the United States, where I was living at the time).” [emphasis added]

There's a huge glut of PhDs and postdocs in the life sciences compared to the number of jobs available. 8K new biology PhDs each year compared to maybe 2K in CS in the US; probably 25-30K biology postdocs today compared to 1-1.5K CS postdocs.

https://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=37

Big pharma is cutting R&D left and right, and there aren't enough small companies to provide jobs for all these scientists. There are very few tenure-track positions available, so a career in academia isn't really an option either. Compare this to CS where by the sounds of it there are far more open positions than qualified candidates (not my field, but i hear this all the time)

If you are a smart software engineer who just wants to write good code and have good work / life balance, you can make low to mid six figures at a big company. If you are a smart biologist who just wants to do good science and have a good work / life balance....you don't really have many options. You can be an eternal postdoc, but the work life balance isn't that great, and you're making $40-60K, even in your 30s
> there is a rather pro-nuclear crowd on HN here that does not understand enough of the physics and the systems engineering of the large scale electrical grid

Regulatory capture and what's essentially corruption is not "physics and systems engineering", and they should be considered independently of nuclear power's inherent technical merit. And regarding ramp-ups and ramp-downs, I have never heard of anyone suggesting nuclear power for anything other than base load, so I don't see how this would be an issue?
