It was not about 'answering correctly' it was about perceptions.

From the first question forward, if one wanted to guess what the technically correct answer was, it was pretty straightforward.

The point wasn't to 'test' it was to get people to see how small artefacts can consistently shift our view of time.

There's no 'win' in answering the questions correctly.
Chrome already has experimental support for SIMD, have you tried that as well?

Otherwise, eventually I expect WebAssembly to match what Flash Crossfire and PNaCL were capable of 10 years ago.
To say that, you're kinda assuming the objective though and then suggesting that it's a worthwhile one.

Like, this poor solution is probably the best thing on some dimension, I would just wonder if it's a dimension worth caring about.

The objective seems to be eliminating the requirement of registration at all. Why? Why would I care to enable people to upvote/downvote content that don't care to spend 1 second registering? I also don't think you can make a convincing case that the friction of registration makes or breaks any websites when almost all of the most popular websites require registration. Seems to be me users are willing to jump the hurdle by the millions if they care to engage.

It can't be a matter of privacy because the site could be logging your IP address in both cases.

It can't really be friction because you could make the most frictionless process possible. Maybe clicking upvote summons a tiny tooltip where you enter a username and password. EZBoard forums back in the day had that -- You would write your whole post and the submit button would assign you a random username that you could then customize.

I just see a forum that made the questionable decision to let you infinitely manipulate rankings without even trying to stop you, the actual impl of that (no registration, PoW puzzle, etc.) rather irrelevant.
That would be the ‘past’ link, though it doesn’t turn anything up in this case as the title on this post is different. (The usual title is “The case of the 500-mile email,” but this copy is missing the subject line for some reason so the submitter used a representative phrase instead.)
There are not comparable afaik. WASM is also more ambitious, along with WASI (system interface) creating a portable final executable (compare to JVM), whereas LLVM is only a set of intermediate language and tools.

When this transition period goes away, LLVM should hopefully compile to WASM binary as a target. The current path described in the video of WASM -> C -> clang -> llvm -> native-binary is a temporary workaround afaik.
Benefits of Web Scraping in Enterprise Growth
Ask HN: If you could reinvent the web browser, what would you do differently?
Given that the web is becoming more of an application delivery platform, rather than a collection of documents, as it was probably first envisaged, what would you do differently if you were to reinvent the browser, given the key use cases of today?

I'm very interested to hear your thoughts :)
>Other Countries will start regulating it or ban it which is obviously not in the interests of these companies.

Please try and understand that things are different in the USA. Look at the mass shootings over the past several years and the ideologies behind them. Look at how Sandy Hook parents were caused to be harassed by Alex Jones.

What did Twitter do in your country? Sounds like a slippery slope fallacy to me. What are the laws around forums in your country? Can you sue a forum for user content?

FreeBSD is pretty much a checkpointed rolling release.
Systems example: farmers are paid per pound for tomatoes. They therefore want to water heavily before harvest so the tomatoes get as heavy as possible. Then they ship the heaviest possible tomatoes to a factory to be dehydrated into ketchup, sauce, and other canned goods.

The energy loss comes in 3 different parts - water waste, extra fuel in shipping, and in energy to dehydrate. Everyone pays more.

The system solution would be to price the tomato solids, not the water.

Now, debug the same programs at runtime. :)
What gas doesn't suffer from though is expensiveness (environmentalism sounds great until you realize you're largely advocating economically regressive policies that disproportionately impact the most vulnerable) and scalability. EU countries might be able to run their industrial sectors on renewables but call me when Russia, India, China, Indonesia, Brazil or even the US are able to do it without costs going up.
The economic incentive is simple: open-sourcing the driver will allow an open-source API to interact with the hardware, allowing AMD/other competitors to support the same API. So instead of competing at the silicon level, Nvidia chooses to set up unnecessary barriers to entry at massive cost to developers/users.

Like Torvalds says [1]: Fuck You, Nvidia.

No. I've just been building with the WASI SDK and running the resulting binary with a small node.js wrapper script. So, I've only tested v8's WASM implementation so far.

Does firefox have a headless mode, a standalone implementation, or some CLI tool I can use to run a WASM binary? Running stuff in the browser is cumbersome.
because the Government forces the public to buy it, subsidise its production, invest in its distribution infrastructure, without any requirement to deliver 24/7.

For me : It has been being mindful around my son. I realised that me being constantly distracted when he was playing was causing me a lot of stress and him to throw a lot of tantrums. Instead, I now consciously bring my attention back to him and I've noticed that I am a lot less stressed and so is he :) . The mind does drift off as it is wont to do but bringing it back is key. Good luck!
This is great. Does it violate Youtube's terms in any way?
Thanks! Hopefully it will last longer than 5 years! :)
Wasm is not memory safe inside the sandbox, so the language should enforce it if you care about correctness and/or dislike the C/C++ memory bugs and debugging.

Ooh, I missed those. Support for C++17 is pretty major. Thanks. Perhaps my memory is fuzzy, I just remember the CUDA 9->10 switch having some significant (but not major) performance and feature changes.
No, but I've been meaning to test this. I did notice it was available in node.js with --experimental-wasm-simd. I hope this proves me wrong about wasm, but I'll have to try it.
Because we have been doing it for decades, mainframes have always done like that, Xerox PARC workstations used microcoded CPUs, since UNIX and C got widespread, CPU vendors optimize for C including memory tagging as hardware mitigation, and NVidia nowadays designs their cards for C++ and Tensorflow workloads.
Okay, let's state it differently.

The problem with so called peer-reviewed abstract "sciences" is the same as with theology and any sectarian movement - that reviewers are from the same sect and praise effort instead of refuting nonsense.

If you do logical refutation the whole field might collapse easily and leave reviewers out of luractive jobs and high social status. Precisely what happened to priests - from people next to God to merely funny freaks.

Socially constructed bullshit is what we have instead of science. The principles of science including the one that only which cannot be disproved and experimentally refuted is accepted as a operational approximation to the truth, NOT some fucking current social consensus among some sectarian establishment.

And no, DNA is too far removed from high level population processes to even try to establish a meaningful correlation, leave alone a causation.
> especially with the pace of change in macOS

Exactly. Windows and Android apps last forever. Not so much in Apple land.

It's not only that though. For example, something could be deprecated in the AWS SDK. If the app has to deploy somewhere it will be coupled to that too.

The one thing that throws a wrench in this story for me: Lattes.

Latte's in 1994? In North Carolina? No way. Maybe on the West Coast, but I moved to Cali in 1989 and they were a rarity until the mid-late 90's. There were only 425 starbucks in the US in 1994 (from their site). The "fancy coffee" craze was just a blip on the radar in the mid 90's but gaining momentum.

Full Employment
You might want to try umatrix. there's a slight learning curve.

I set the defaults to load only the main site, and load no javascript. Then per-site I turn things on until it's workable.

basically start with:

* * * block
* * frame block
* * script block
* 1st-party * allow
* 1st-party frame allow

then enable stuff for good sites.

that + reader mode makes even horrendous sites pleasant.
There is no legitimate use for it in this context, and as such, every single instance of it has been associated with a crime, mostly CSAM.

Fascinating read! I’ve been engineering software for a decade and I have come to some of these concepts intuitively, but did not know such a field existed. Thanks!
Yeah, most developer jobs I've seen require constantly learning new things. And I don't think I'd like working very long somewhere that didn't need people to keep learning -- not so much learning the flavor of the month yet-another-framework, but learning a breadth of things, and picking up whatever is needed. I actually emphasized that in a draft job post recently.

BTW, just to be clear where I'm coming from about families, I think people can focus successfully on both work and family, at the same time. (If they're working in an organization/projects that don't end up wasting so much engineer-time that they think they need people who can be typing 80hr/wk.)
You can use jsvu to grab command-line shell binaries for spidermonkey (firefox's JS engine), v8, and jsc (safari's JS engine) to toy around with.
Because like all the other language attempts, there are hardly performance improvement vs a general purpose CPU and a more flexible runtime written in software.
Covid-19 Urgent Message for Austin
If black people are graduating with CS degrees at a lower rate than other groups related to the population at large, and having a CS degree is a criterion of getting the job, then we should expect jobs that require CS degrees to have fewer black people for reasons that have nothing to do with racism in the hiring process. (The same is true for any other dimension you care to slice on)

Why do fewer black people graduate with CS degrees relative to the population than Indian or Asian people? That's a topic to understand better if you consider this a problem that you'd like to fix. Have you heard of the stereotype of "Asian parents", that drive their kids very hard to succeed academically? From many personal acquaintances, that effect is real, especially for immigrant parents. Meanwhile in some areas, in black culture, trying to succeed academically is "acting white" and is frowned upon.

It's a hard problem to solve and it may require changing the culture of populations gradually over time. You could start by looking what percent of families are single-parent grouped by race:

https://datacenter.kidscount.org/data/tables/107-children-in...

According to that data set, 65% of black families were single-parent in 2018, by far the grouping with the highest percentage in that data set, compared to 15% for Asian and Pacific Islanders, or 24% for non-hispanic whites. If you want to fix education and the success that comes after it, then you probably need to start by fixing the families in which children are raised.

It's difficult to succeed academically, and pay for and succeed in college, without two parents to support you.

Now why is that, the difference in single-parent families? I don't know the answer. We can keep popping the stack, looking for solutions in each layer like that, and finding problems at the next layer. Solutions won't be easy.
I'm not sure why you're attributing this to some bad will from the platform instead of just basic supply and demand economics?

Spotify directly removed massive barriers to entry in distributing music. So there are more artists available to you than ever. Listeners might have grown as well, but it seems not in the same scale.

This could also be the case in microstock (and it seems to make logical sense). More and more photos are posted, and more people are posting. So ofcourse as supply grows the price lowers.

Here's one way to look at it: Contrast and well defined edges can be important in feature extraction. Our vision system, on the other hand, can do just fine with less information in the high frequencies (where edges live).
It real stupidity to push for that 2.0 UI. I don’t know why reddit insisted on that. It’s honestly really bad, pages feel real heavy and wastes a lot of screen real estate. The only reason people haven’t migrated away is because there isn’t an alternative.

> Some are allowed to get away with it

Do you have any examples of this?
Note that its "custom stack machine instruction set" is an interesting subset of Java bytecodes. The most common bytecodes are interpreted by a single narrow microcode instruction while the more complex ones are executed by little programs. A wider and more parallel microcode would make the complex instructions faster but would make the hardware larger without helping the simple bytecodes very much.

The focus of this project is real time instead of absolute performance, so things like caches are added in only limited ways since they get in the way of predictable execution times.
Doesn't the DNA evidence now suggest both? The article says that polynesian populations show a DNA connection with the Americas (especially around Columbia) from sometime around 1200. It would seem that the polynesians sailed from West to East until they either hit the American continents or peoples from the American continents came out and met them. Or both.

This really nails why languages like PHP and Ruby have won out over static typed, compiled ones for application level web development. The web is a massive collection of disjointed, loosely coupled APIs that all (just barely) interoperate to provide a massive array of functionality. Languages that tend to work well with it are those that are highly flexible around the corner cases of these technologies, and allow you to quickly iterate through the process of gluing them together.

The event test at the end seemed to target people older than someone in their early thirties at least. So I don’t know that this article would have anything with being in their thirties to do?

Also, I’m about to hit 30 this year so there’s that.

And also also, when I got to the question about Jurassic Park, my immediate thought was 1993. But then I became unsure whether that was for the first or the second movie so I guessed that the first one actually came out in 1984 or something. Shouldn’t have second guessed myself on that one, d’oh!

But that kind of underlines the point about age, and what they were saying also. If I were older I probably would’ve seen it in the cinema when it first came out and I’d be like “oh yeah, I remember when I went and saw that movie that was the same year that I did such and such so it must have been then”.

Based on the documentary Moana, maybe there came a time where things were not going well at their current place so they set out looking for a new place.

Or maybe warring peoples invaded from the west, so they picked up and headed east looking for a new home.

Or maybe there was overpopulation on their island so they looked for a new place to spread out.

Or maybe they were just like us and some young guys were thrill seekers/adrenaline junkies/adventurers/etc. and they just wanted to head out to see what they could find.

Ah yes you're correct. I use 1 minute as my personal limit so I don't grow accustomed to running it too hard for too long, but the operator's manual indeed states 5 minutes above 5500. I have a fixed pitch prop, which means I typically can only spin the prop at those speeds during cruise anyhow.
