I don't think anyone is suggesting that WASM is the new way to write for the web, but I think it's certainly an aspiration that WASM will allow more languages to be used for everyday web development in addition to solving other more niche problems.

Controversial sale of .org domain manager faces review at ICANN
(Note: I speak only for myself and others who share my personal preferences)

This comment really hit home for me. Making something good is often at odds with
making something that's profitable/popular. I've often found that the most popular
software is far more bloated/limited than the best software. This might be because
people like me tend to favor smaller programs that are FOSS and work well with other
FOSS; this view is held by a minority, and is thus a less profitable niche to cater
to.

One example is mpd+ncmpcpp versus Spotify or iTunes. The former is far more
well-designed, performant, featureful, and flexible; however, it will never be
popular/profitable because it's FOSS targeting end-users, it runs in the terminal,
it lacks CPU-intensive pretty animations, and requires users to understand that it
involves a client and a daemon.

The list goes on; from IRC/Matrix versus Discord, to Linux/BSD vs macOS/Windows (an
opinion that's a bit more controversial here on HN, but held by many nonetheless),
the list goes on. I've defaulted to assuming that if a program intended to be used
directly by end-users is mainstream and/or quite profitable, it's likely not for me.
The few exceptions (e.g., massive web browsers like Firefox) exist only because
there is no alternative I can get away with.

Many farmers already run their own version of the software needed for the equipment, complete with its own diagnostic setup. They do this specifically because they cannot get that diagnostic information with the official software (because they don't want farmers working on it themselves).

The question you have to ask yourself is this:

If they're already savvy enough to do that, imagine how much better things will be for them when OSS and/or other 3rd party vendors are able to service the software side for them.
I had to diff it! Even if there was no difference, the time it would've taken to be sure really illustrates the problem.
I still don't get from your description what the point or motive would be. Who is locking in whom, for what purpose?
Why? A couple reasons.

Sure we could argue semantics, but to me putting together off the shelf software and hardware isn't "building a robot", but maybe that the vernacular these days. None of that is from scratch.

It seems that its being billed as nearly ready to go.
> we're building a robot that comes in kiosk form and lives in airports, malls, and offices.

Just let my comment stand for the man-on-the-street view, ignorant of the technical specifics. No way am I letting a robot shave my head.

It's offensive to many, but it's also unquestionably true of a non-trivial portion of the religious populace. That subset of the religious demographic is also prone to making equally-offensive but less truthful accusations along the lines of saying that atheists cannot be moral because morality can only come from their god.

You sidestepped actually addressing points made.

Why are religious organizations fighting public assistance programs? Why are their members arguing that a church should provide these same services instead? Your "criticise the crique" strategy isn't actually a retort, just an argument that religious affiliated organizations should be above criticism wholesale.

If religions want to stay out of politics, I'm all for leaving them be. But as it stands they're a major power broker, particularly at a local level, and therefore cannot be ignored (particularly when they're arguing for religious discrimination of public services).

By your definition it doesn't require that; it only needs handling for ĉ, ĵ, ĥ, ŭ, ĝ, ŝ and uppercase versions. I think those particular combinations don't exist in any single European language, but you can get Esperanto keymaps ( https://esperanto.stackexchange.com/a/382 )

But then, Dyalog APL has an IME for entering APL characters and you can do that with standard keyboard keys + modifier (e.g. alt+w for omega in the NARS2000 APL interpreter, ctrl+w in the Dyalog interpreter) - and that's "all" the Windows IME does, support for ctrl+w, but it allows you to do that in any program instead of just in the APL interpreter.
> I'm guessing CBT is probably not as effective if you're experiencing severe mental health problems

I'm bipolar. CBT is ineffective for problems that aren't resulting from bad thoughts. But it just as important as medication for my treatment plan.

CBT is absolutely critical to maintaining stability when I am rational. Stopping bad thoughts before they get time to spiral out of control significantly reduces the severity of my symptoms.

While CBT can't fight irrational thoughts resulting from my mood swings, it's taught me what I can and can't change. As a result, I know when to switch to a different coping skill to get through a bad day.

As far as in-person therapy goes, a therapist is a guide. They can point you in the right direction and provide a different perspective.

Law enforcement already masquerades online as underage girls and boys, potential terrorists searching for bomb-making materials, etc.

> It appears that overprescribing existing antibiotics to people and livestock is a leading cause of rising drug resistance, both of which can be addressed by policy changes.

About 80% of antibiotics sold in the US are used in agriculture[1], where they are given to animals not to treat infections, but to prevent them and to stimulate growth.

Over 60% of infectious disease in humans are spread from animals, and 75% of new diseases in humans are spread from animals[2].

GC in wasm is proposed for two purposes: (1) DOM objects are garbage collected and so first-class support for them in wasm requires a GC; (2) optimal moving GC requires runtime support. A garbage collector needs to be able to walk stacks to find the root set of pointers, but the stack is hidden from the program in wasm.
Transforming a team from stack to queue is one of the major improvements I aim for on any team I join, although I hadn't really conceptualized this process in those terms before this article.

The second is limiting who has access to enqueue work and the third is forcing alignment on the set of people who prioritize the queue. Once that is done I police any attempts to interrupt work-in-progress outside of established processes (e.g. emergency/urgent response).

His descriptions of the activities of a CEO-level organization leader really ring true to me.

It's a silly thing to go on and on about, but the quotation examples used in the style guide you linked to are quite different than what we're talking about here.
I'm overwhelmingly in favor of the Federal Government stepping in and doing some very unpleasant things - as necessary - to the city

I get what you're saying here but you're expressing it poorly, and without regard to the fact that the overwhelming unpleasantness is likely to fall on the vulnerable rather than the excessively comfortable, as exemplified by the proliferation of bad policy choices currently taking place at the federal level.
It's a very interesting question. I suppose the logic of the ruling shouldn't be restricted to "official" religions at all. Even in the calculus example, we can imagine there could be homeless people who are religiously opposed to calculus, and I agree that the calculus shelter shouldn't be counted as a place to go, for such people.

Wouldn't giving these people a place indoors with a shower and a bathroom resolve that particular issue?

Hell public restrooms with showers like at a truck stop would actually resolve most of these issues. Most of them are there for the free bathroom facilities and the ones that came to use the chairs and internet wouldn't stink.
I ordered a cheap Android phone the other day because installing a non-OEM OS like Lineage mean... banking software doesn't work. I have an older phone but the last stock ROM on it is Android 5, although it is currently running Lineage with Android 9. So I bought that phone to keep at stock and have a phone I can do my banking with.

Come to think of it, I should just switch banks!
> That it makes a company liable in case someone repairs their truck and it blows up

There are many, many ways to compile and preserve business secrets in blobs, but there's probably a fundamental issue if you're dependent on that.

> someone finds a flaw in the API, uses it to ruin other people's machines, and then the company gets sued for it

If you publish crappy code in your paid product and someone suffers for it, you should be sued. That's not a consequence, that's the system working.

> That it forces companies to sell pieces that are not profitable

The company has a line of profit - the initial device. This is not forcing them to take on a new business, this is forcing them to support the purchase I already made. If you can't sell spare parts, don't sell tractors. If you can't handle a support call, don't take my money.
Even back inn the 90s, people were thinking of the browser as a potential OS-like platform. Netscape certainly did, and that's why MS was so worried about them.

I've found when I read business books, I usually know about 1/2 of what's in it, don't care about the next 49%, and then there is that 1% that is brand new amazing wisdom that I couldn't have found anywhere else.

I then internalize that wisdom and promptly forget where it came from, which makes me useless at helping others with this knowledge.

If there was a way for me to make an AI that could just find these wisdom nuggets without all the work of reading a whole book, that would be super powerful.

Sadly, I think that's a pretty hard AI problem to solve. At least today.
Parts are also moved by barge, this allows moving them much faster between facilities.

They run around Europe as Airbus has very distributed facilities for political reasons (it's a multinational project and thus has facilities in various countries), though mostly between Hamburg and Toulouse.

From time to time they also get chartered for non-airbus cargo: space program parts (that was a primary use case of its Super Guppy ancestor), copters to air show, relief supplies, and Liberty Leading the People between France and Japan in 1999 (as the painting was too large to fit in a 747).

Wait, I only just noticed where you said “intense residential construction”. You must be joking. Current rates of construction across the state are far below historic norms. The only people who think this is a building boom are those who haven’t glanced at a fifty-year housing starts chart.
It's actually much worse. All of the electronics also causes the machine to collect quite a bit of data on how/when it is used. WRT to the individual farmer, that data now has value and the manufacturer can extract that value by requiring the customer to pay to have access to it. At scale, that data can be sold off to hedge funds and other wall street shops to help inform data trading algorithm on grain futures and the like, so that too is an incentive to try and prevent joe schmo from having access to it.
That's true. My aging but still well-functioning WRT54G router had its 12V 2A wall wart die on me last year. At the same time, some USB cable had its micro B end accidentally ripped of.

So I thought, why not, opened the router,and lo and behold, the DC circuit is perfectly happy with 5V and 1.2A or so, and converts it down to I believe 3.3V.

So I drilled a hole in the router and soldered the working end of the damaged cable to the power input. Other end is pluggend into the useless USB TV port. Has been working fine ever since. Neither TV nor router runs hot, which I couldn't say about the old wall wart.

In theory, USB should negotiate the required amount of power It turns out the TV manufacturer decided to simply wire the port directly to the internal 5V rail connected to both USB ports, so it should be able to give at least 2x2A.

Yeah, it was probably cheaper to just buy a new router. Got a bit nerd-sniped there I guess ;-) .
This is a terrible decision by the Supreme Court. People do not have a right to sleep wherever they want, whenever they want. If they cannot join a community and be a productive/contributing member, there has to be a disincentive for that. Right now, many cities like Seattle and SF have law-abiding tax-paying residents who have to see their beautiful cities ruined by tents/trash/needles, put up with unsafe conditions, see their property value diminish, and amenities take over (like parks with tents).

No one has a right to live where they want at whatever price point they want. This is the strongest economy of all time. Unemployment is at an all time low. And there are many locations where someone can do a job (not necessarily the one they want) and earn a living, instead of picking the more desirable locations. I believe every jurisdiction should be able to set its own rules governing where/when people can sleep. And taxpayers should not be obligated to pay for someone else's life due to their lack of personal responsibility.

The refusal to hear the challenge here is simply enabling the permanently-nomadic to take over land they do not own at no cost and with no consequence.

I'm not an expert, but my understanding is that with Web Assembly you essentially have to ship the whole language if you're doing dynamic languages, so it greatly inflates the size of the package the user has to download.

The one I've been looking to the most is Rust, as it compiles to a smaller size, doesn't have a GC to ship (by default), and is not C/C++. C/C++ seem to be the other common WASM languages.

Edit: Just saw you're a beginner programmer, I probably would not suggest Rust as a first language. Web Assembly in general may not be a good starting point, but if you're set C++ might be slightly better. (I tend to suggest Python as a starting language)

> Things like "Write testable code" and "Document why your code works."

There are many successful companies that didn't do either of those things in their codebase.

Whether or not you consider the people who wrote it good programmers is I suppose up for debate, but objectively, they created code that achieved the stated business purpose.

My point being, I don't think there are any universal truths.
> There's no good reason for homeless shelters and other charitable services to be located on extremely valuable real estate and in NIMBY neighborhoods

There are tons of good reasons. The primary reason is that "place" is a huge determination of societal outcomes for individuals. Homeless individuals in a nicer neighborhood will on average have better outcomes (rehabilitation, returning to normal life, seeking mental health treatment) than homeless individuals in rougher neighborhoods.

Sure, readers don't have to interpret what you said as "being himself must mean being an asshole," but when you say that being yourself would get you fired, some flavor of "asshole" is probably high any anyone's list for the type of attitude/personality that would cause such an extreme reaction. Can you expand on what sort of being-your-self attributes are not professionally disruptive, but would still get you fired?

I mean, I can think of plenty of hobbies/cultural differences/etc., that could make things awkward between colleagues, but not much that would get you fired.

Cisco Wins Legal Challenge in Battle Against Chinese Counterfeits
"Transportation By Amazon" (TBA) used to be a pipe dream and was envisioned as a way to use Amazon's cheaper shipping rates to ship packages of all types.

With the build out of Amazon's own transportation network, Transportation By Amazon is poised to become a reality. The biggest part that remains is the pick-up of packages for shipping / reverse logistics. This should not be too hard, especially as Customer Returns is integrated into Amazon's transportation network.

After Customer Returns is done, it's just a matter of figuring out how to get accurate shipment parameters (box size, weight, type of goods being shipped) and then building a website front-end to advertise and slowly ramp up the capability and learn how to handle different types of exceptional conditions.
