Yeah but WASM is an open standard that big names in the industry agreed on, including Foss advocates, with a design to accomodate many popular languages and the most popular plateform in the world: the web.

So it has actually a chance to not be limited to one ecosystem or one company.

In fact, the simple idea that it's going to have a monopoly in the browser pretty much guaranties a broad attempt of adoption.

JVM and main frames could have been it, but they never were.

Let's try if we can make it work with a different name this time.
Native storage protects against this scenario, though. It isn't safe to assume that localstorage will be retained.

> The two perspectives are quite compatible, indeed complementary.

I think you're being quite sanguine here. The two ideas are not perfectly orthogonal, and I've already explained why in other comments. If you were to, for example, use these 'brackets' to inform company policy, or city planning, you'd be only reinforcing the stereotype by increasing the activation energy for people to chose different.

We can live in a pluralistic, cosmopolitan societies, where people are truly judged by the content of their characters and find their way to where they fit best. Our ability to personalize services and institutions to the unique abilities of the individual has been bolstered by modern information technology. Why bother using the blunt tools of prejudice? We've already been down that path. And how can we predict that society, and the brackets, would not shift in the future if given half the chance?

Once again, what's the utility of this kind of thinking? And further to that, what could we be missing out on by reasserting this mode of thinking?
A big difference is that from everything I hear about this issue, it sounds like this was not an honest mistake, but a mistake driven by a policy of cutting costs and corners everywhere.

They wanted this airframe to be able to do something it was never designed for. Instead of redesigning it from the ground up, which costs money both for development and for recertification, they tried to correct the problem in software.

They didn't want to have to retrain pilots, so they pretended nothing really changed, again through software.

And of course FAA testing is expensive, so instead the FAA blindly trusts Boeing.

So a plane that should have been more thoroughly redesigned, recertified, with pilots retrained, got none of those things in order to save costs, and the FAA just blindly trusts Boeing that it's okay. Boeing clearly betrayed that trust.

It's not just a single honest mistake, it's a policy that drove everything towards this mistake. I think that's why a lot of people are so upset.
Geo engineering is well known and the patents are on the web. Educate yourselves. It's called science.
Emacs is free and in my opinion Magit is far, far superior to Tower / Fork / SourceTree (used them all on mac extensively at some point; out of those, fork is pretty nice and lightweight).

I'm not an emacs user but always install it (via spacemacs) everywhere solely to host Magit.
So then why are there atmospheric aerosol patents?
This is like the reaction people had to Dropbox on this very site [1]. Even if wasm was literally the same bytecode copied from an old mainframe the possibilities that this new use allows are enough of a novelty and an invention in and of itself.

I would find a comparison of wasm with older bytecodes very interesting as for sure none of them are perfect. But this kind of reply is clearly dismissive. It contains no criticism and it offer no insight over why some failed and other succeeded.

I essentially see it as lamenting that another similar technology was/is treated unfairly. Which is a fine comment, since many technologies meet a unjust or undeserved demise. It is still irrelevant as essentially boils down to "how dare you succeed where others have failed".

This is even worse than just saying that it is bound to fail miserably the same way Java applets did.

There are for sure negative sides to wasm, the fact that many parts are similar to past ideas is simply inconsequential on the merits.

I highly doubt that there is another model that would not require non-trivial work to be fast, while also being reasonably portable to different architectures.

Sure, we could be faster by just sending x86 machine code, but that isn't really the point.
Depending where you're coming from, 300Euros one time payment can be a steal compared to the time and money you could end up spending at the physiotherapist or chiropractor later in life.

I'm not pointing fingers at anyone here but I find it ironic that some well paid developers in the western world can justify dropping nearly $1000 every year on the latest handheld social media machine and consider that a worthy investment but when it comes to spending $300 once on something that can help prevent certain health conditions it suddenly can't be justified.

The greatest conversational challenges I encounter are not immediately due to sensitivity but indirectly so due to customs, assumptions, and culture. I find many people are deeply fearful of originality and criticality and group defiance when it comes to their operating habits, perceptions, and executing behaviors.

In short many people will take drastic steps to irrationally preserve their operating habits as cognitive decisions even in defiance of direct evidence and at risk of eminent failure. Conversations about this are supremely challenging.

In my experience the reason why this is so challenging is not due to sensitivity, though sensitivity is certainly present. Instead I find many people are challenged by objectivity as a deeply instilled personality trait. The degree of objectivity acceptance by person is variable and varies further in group dynamics. This is a measurable quality of some behavior analysis tests.

I think you are taking this too far. Twitch is a big but still a private platform. Basically it is the same age-old struggle between platform owners and copyright holders - the former claim that they aren't responsible for any content published on their platforms while the latter claim that they are.
I'm an absolute begginer in climbing, only did gym climbing, going only once a week meant almost no progress(going twice was much better) and I just loved climbing and how I felt after; I even loved the slow progress, I was like "whoaaah, I'll be entertained for years just with this gym", I've seen much younger climbers getting discouraged by their peers much faster progress(never mind those peers put much more training time), I'll be just happy to climb the same gym for the rest of my life; clymbing is one of those things I suck about, yet love, I love the gear, the almost empty gym on a friday evening, failing a route for a month and nailing it after, I love just how great some routes are that are just a biit out of my comfort zonr; my only regret is I didn't give it a chance when I was younger.

Anyway, I hope my daughter will love it too in a couple of years since she loves climbing on everything so we can take clymbing lessons in parallel.

Well, as you said yourself, the FAA itself calculated the chance of a MAX crash to be significant higher than other models.

Sure, those things take time, but a more decisive action should have been taken sooner.

It might not justify a full ground but at least it should have justified a very strongly worded Advisory Notice to pilots (not sure of the specific nomenclature for this document) also the AOA disagree light should have been made default ASAP.

So no, FAA has a lot to blame here.
>But, the culture is "do not offend" dominate and almost void of "do not take offense".

Events where people get offended end up being reported online or in the media. Events where no one gets offended get no coverage, though that mind set is also very common. Additionally, extreme examples of "offensive behavior" are used by poth sides for political propaganda.

I think the main problem is that communication technology makes it easier for people to fall into sins, and harder to stay away from sins. If you internalize the idea that envy, rage and sloth are bad for you and should be kept out of your head, then Facebook and Twitter shouldn't pose much trouble.

What a strange and bad way to "reflect" on the 2010s. This was not the decade that tech lost its way. It was the decade that more of mainstream media woke up to some of the issues with tech. NYTimes seems intent to prove they don't understand. Why else would you report rosy talking points from Thrun about self-driving without any countering viewpoints? Or include a long quote from the CEO of the company that developed Pokemon Go, without any talk of the issues surrounding the game?
Something that I have also heard is that as well as just purchasing renewable energy, Google is also offsetting the carbon from their entire operations. So e.g. they calculate the average employee commute carbon emissions, or the carbon emitted in the supply chain for getting the free sushi to employee's mouths etc and offset that too.

I like that if it is true. I can't find anything specific on their report (1) - it is kinda vague: they say they're using renewable energy and are carbon-neutral in the same sentence, so not sure if that is just energy or the entire operation.

The launching order of the internal daemons is not explicit on the services graph. For a long while I had a computer that mounted the disks on a non-predictable time and most attempts to fsck the root partition would fail.

For a while it would ignore the system DNS settings, so it didn't only require it to be configured twice, but the systemd settings had an habit of changing in format every so often.

Udev failed a bit at the time it was being included on the package.

Oh, there was the time when the simple service launcher didn't conform to the documentation so a lot of daemons could fail to launch in unpredictable ways.

But the first I started using it was at the Debian migration. So the earlier bugs were all solved already.
Such a job (unless your situation is dire) is not recommended. I know of one such company, won't name it here, but such companies I think are one big scam. They will put a camera in front of you and record every moment. Cut salary if you are away for even a few minutes! Google is your friend and as expected such companies will insert a few moles to write good reviews about them as well!!!

There are way too many good remote companies who will treat you good and pay you great. Getting into them is hard as remote jobs are competed for by a larger pool of candidates.

If you are planning to switch into remote, please do a deep dive (unsolicited advice) :-) and then decide. Good luck!
Pro dev here. I am working on a codebase that is large and juvenile. The original authors didn't know about functions or something; it's pure spaghetti PHP.

I definitely add comments with tons of questions and potential trigraphs when I use punctuation in lieu of actual cursing. Don't get me wrong. I curse a lot in comments, too.

TL/DR: bad code -> angry comments

It's not spoiling yourself! What tradesman would buy a 15$ no brand cordless drill that they'll use dozens of times a day? Yes the cheapest one will spin the drill bit when you push the button, just like one 10 or 30 times more expensive - but just the better ergonomics makes it worth it. One aspect of being a professional is using proper tools.

I believe that you are looking at wasm with a different priorities than intended. The two fundamental properties are that it must be fully portable and fully secure by default (as in any insecurity needs to be explicitly and statically declared in the bytecode).

Performance comes only after those two. LLVM as far as I know, has a completely different order of priorities.

I am not experiencing this issue and I have a large project PHP and JS plus the plugins for jquery and angular , all linting on. After the project loads I don't feel any lag, I run an i5 6th gen CPU , 4cores. I might have tweaked some VM options years back (my configs and styles are at least 5-6 years old so I do not remember).

Also if you transpile all your js into a big minified file, exclude that too, right click on it and there must be an option as mark as plain text.

This isn't necessarily age-related - people at all ages need to be back upright, and ideally back walking on their own feet, as soon as possible again.

I've got a planned surgery coming up in february (I'm 23), and despite it being a major surgery, part of the recovery process is that I'll have to be able to stand upright - even if just for a few minutes per day - already on the first day after surgery. This is also why, if you absolutely have to stay in bed, you should use the remote for your hospital bed to at least sit in bed for as much time as possible (and why you should buy beds which have such a mode at home, too)

If only there was an Ergodox keycap set with all printed keys. I used an Ergodox EZ from when it was delivered after the crowdfunding campaign, right until the Ultimate Hacking Keyboard delivered on its campaign, and I stuck with the UHK mostly because all keys are labeled. I post this every time there is a thread about the Ergodox in the hope there will be keycap sets available some day...
That's a good point, but at the same time, at least in a work setting, there needs to be some sort of common ground.

It seems to me that a reasonable compromise would be to expect people to notify a coworker of things that their boss would judge the coworker for; even if it is contrary to the culture of the person doing the notification.

Does that make sense?

Having the mouse in the right side of the keyboard puts it too far away.

My solution is to just mouse left-handed. As a right handed person, this does take some training, but it had been worth it in the long run.

That, plus an ergonomic keyboard solved most of my problems.
Great tool. Call me a troglodyte, but I love the fact that it's written in ObjC, not Swift.
And I find it ironic that some multibillionaires can justify buying a private jet but when it comes to buying good toothpaste they're suddenly "too poor".

I mean, assumptions are great, if you like building straw men. You know almost nothing about me, where I live and how much I make, or how much my phone costs (hint: under $200, once every two years).
I think it would be sensible to make all the changes together.

If you already type e.g. T with the wrong hand, then it's annoying to start typing it with the correct hand (because it's on the other side of the split), then learn a new location with a new layout.

(Do also consider Dvorak. The difference is not really worth an argument, but at least with a programmable mechanical keyboard one of the main advantages -- that Control Z/X/C/V remain in place -- can be kept with Dvorak with a small adjustment to the layout. I've never tried Colemak, but I do like the hand alternation design of Dvorak, and I think I would miss it.)
I tend to ask myself "does something really disturbs YOU", if the answer is yes, then I will talk about it because:

1. You cannot expect someone to realize something, no matter how obvious it is to you, you don't know how to person was raised and what experiences that person went through, thus you should never expect something obvious for yourself to be obvious for others as well

2. If something bothers me but I don't talk about it, I will resent the problematic person one way or another, and the problem will resurface one day or another (probably not in the way you would expect too).
Hahaha. I know the feeling.
I've once had a Japanese developer on my team which I was leading. He would always ask me for my opinion on how to do things, but then he ended up doing something else. It felt like he already knew the answer and had his own idea anyway. Now I know why!
