You could standardize a WASM translator into any ISA (or a direct implementation hypothetically), but it wouldn't be particularly useful because WASM is designed to be nice (safe) to be run in the browser in a JIT environment.

If you want diversity, and an introduction to truly Alien CPU designs I recommend taking a look at the Mill.
I'm well aware... but in this particular sentence he or she is talking about specific Democrat, not the Democratic Party, and as such, seems grammatical.
Yes. A single long-haul flight can generate as much CO2 per passenger as many people in the world generate in an entire year [1]. There are lots of calculators you can use to determine your impact; here's one from the UN: [2]. It could easily be tons of CO2.

> A country like The Netherlands is generating between 10% and 50% renewable energy without significant storage capacity

Quoting wikipedia:

Renewable energy sources, such as biomass, wind power and solar power, produce 12% of the total electricity.

This is a small percentage.

> I thought the need for storage is mostly a problem if you want to reach a high percentage of generation using renewables.

This is correct. If we want to generate only small percentage using renewables, we can simply have excessive fossil power plants and turn them off when renewables work.

> energy storage also seems beneficial if you want to build a nuclear infrastructure

Barely. Nuclear can work at full power constantly, and can be easily slowed down and then sped up any time.

Of course if we had extremely cheap batteries we could make nuclear work full power all the time and save excessive electricity. So far we don't even have moderately expensive batteries.

> I don't think subsidies are really a problem.

It is not a problem. It partially explains why renewables are "cheap" and nuclear is "expensive".

> Weren't the nuclear power infrastructures of France and Ukraine mostly build using state subsidies?

I don't know about France. It seems to be a government monopoly, so there are very different rules when it works this way.

In Ukraine because of very sad state of economy, they seem to not build any nuclear power plants for a long time.

> Also, nuclear energy might be regulated too much, but I'm not sure how much can be saved without hurting safety.

As pointed many times in this thread, historically, including the worst nuclear disaster Chernobyl, nuclear is much safer than any other electricity generation method (including renewables). If something need to be regulated for safety, it is anything except nuclear.
I grew up in high school with abstinence-only sex ed, rare access to birth control and a bunch of rumors about "pulling out" and period sex preventing pregnancy. No condom lessons at all, just scare videos on STIs. A number of teen pregnancies happened in that school, though I only knew the ones carrying to term.
It wouldn't take anything close to a landslide for the senate to flip.

My point is: if the Democrats win the senate and the presidency, it doesn't really matter if Trump fills this vacancy. There is zero doubt they will stack the court when in power if he does.
Genuine question for anyone following Supreme Court decisions since the inclusion of Gorsuch and Kavanaugh. How have either of those two nominations contributed to decisions in a way that undes RBG's life work? If they haven't, on what basis are you coming to the conclusion that the third nominee to SCOTUS would somehow be radically different than the first two?

I personally haven't read an opinion from either that most democrats would be disappointed with. Most people actually don't follow what the supreme court does and the extent of the attention they pay is just making sure that the president they support gets to pick SCOTUS justices.
While we typically think of a fourth dimension as time, that is just convention. One could easily say [x, time, z, y] and the math works out the same.

Their position isn't Libertarian.

I'm a Rand quoting free market extremist, and I'm A-OK with this guy going to jail for fraud. Fraud is, after all, morally equivalent to physical coercion.

On a related note, most people who heap scorn on Rand seem to have missed the fact that many (most?) of the major villains in Atlas Shrugged are corrupt businessmen.

This might pass the senate — so long as we add two more Dakotas at the same time.

There are quite a few angles of it exploding, as well as it being a major set piece with people running around it before, during, and after the explosion.
And there is the right answer.

If you are an American and you are professing hate for America (as many in this thread are) I feel bad for you.

This is my home and I love it here. America has made mistakes, it will make more, it has corrupt people, evil people, good people, inventive people, thieving people but it's contributed quite a lot to this world socially, technologically and in many other ways.

I find this entire hate for America thing shallow, short-sided, ignorant and deeply disturbing and have very little use for people who professes this sentiment.

I've long used the Mac's ctrl-scroll shortcut for zooming in on the display. Ages ago, when I was working in the same room as the design staff for a company I worked at, they saw me do that and were quick to activate it on their iMacs as it's really handy for checking pixel-level rendering on web interfaces.

For fillets / chamfers of simple objects I've been using BOSL2:

https://github.com/revarbat/BOSL2

They come with fillet / chamfer masks, but in general I've been just using their cylinder / cube replacements that generate rounded intenral corners, and just diff'ing them out of existing shapes.

In general, I've gotten a long way by just starting with chamfered/filleted shapes (the library includes a neat way of specifying which edges of the shapes you want filleted), and using the intersection / difference of filleted cubes, cones, and cylinders.

Intersections on curved surfaces seem impossible any way of looking at it (minus some projection nonsense, but that's expensive in openscad)
Comparing a source controllable uninterrupted source of energy with an unreliable intermittent one doesn't make sense. Having power when you need it is very valuable. And in the case of renewables, you'd need to account for storage, after which the prices explode.

What would you say if you could only turn on AC in the 3 months of winter?

But there is another ugly side with regards to price (which are heavily subsidised): it is mostly cheap because offer far exceeds demand when power is available, because when it's sunny, it's sunny everywhere nearby so there's nobody wants to buy. Peak demand are at 7-8pm on during week days in winter. Good luck with solar or wind.

On a bigger scale, see Denmark (invested heavily on wind) vs Norway (almost entirely hydro). When wind is up, Denmark, which _has_ to sell this energy, sells it to Norway, which will buy it at the effective operating cost of hydro, which is ~$0. And when there is demand, Norway will happily sell it to Denmark at a normal price. In effect, Denmark pays twice.
RBG was also the voice of reason when Justice Kavanaugh was under attack by an unhinged mob.

She truly could see beyond politics, and will be missed by both sides of the aisle.
For those so certain that the Republican Senate is going to ram though someone, there are a few moderates left, and they've already decided thing can wait until after the election:

"So far the following GOP Senators have pledged that they will not consider a Supreme Court appointment until after the next inauguration.

Susan Collins
Chuck Grassley
Lisa Murkowski"

The Senate is currently split 53/47, I don't believe Romney has addressed the issue yet. No one should get too bitter and divisive just yet.
I appreciate the link to the UN's press release for the new report, but note that my point stands: the attacks on Maduro happened long before this report, so long before they could have been justified.

Furthemore, considering the attacks on Maduro included a smearing campaign from media and governments all around the "Western" world, I will read the Mission's report with a heavy dose of skepticism. (Of course, on the other hand, it wouldn't surprise me if the Mission's report was honest.) An example warning sign: it seems strange to entrust the Mission to only three people. Another example, the Mission relied heavily on blogs and similar for the report.

Trump will leverage his lame duck session to contest the loss in the courts.
That added context makes it sad, but does not make it illegal, which is what you are responding to.
ICE internment camps are in no way comparable to WW2 events.
If that is illegal, I would hate to be Microsoft, Google, Samsung, Amazon... They are all doing the same thing. The 30% isn't what will be decided, it will be the ability of manufactures to make walled gardens at all. Also, this would be the US only.
Why is this downvoted? Harry Reid literally eliminated the ability of the minority party to filibuster a presidential nominee.[1]

So the Democrats are basically complaining that they can't stop a Trump nomination, but only because they changed the rules themselves.

Underappreciated, and insightful comment. I appreciate the insight and references, and did read all of them. Thank you.
I made my largest gains in programming competence almost
10 years ago when working on a system with no connection to the internet and no cell phone at hand. I was working a development assignment on an air-gapped network. Not being able to search google every time I got stuck forced me to actually read the documentation, man pages, and reference books and think through what was going on and come up with solutions. The internet terminal was a 10 minute walk away so I treated it like a trip to the library for research only after I had spent time working on the problem myself.
I'm sorry to hear that Nobody should have to wade through 1500+ tabs.

It's frustrating to hear anyone struggle with that in this day and age. I've been there myself. But there are technical solutions.

I haven't had to deal with tab anxiety in years.

My browser stack is Tree Style Tabs, Session Manager, Multiple Tab Handler, and Tab Group Plus.

I regularly wrangle clusters of tabs.

If I have a tree of tabs that is spawned from an HN story or something, I can drag it into a new window, and then export it to a tgmg file from Tab Group Manager, put the tab collection file in my repository, and put a reference to it in my knowledge base. I might also embed it in an rtfd file.

If I don't need that kind of structure, I can just use shift or ctrl to bulk select the tabs I want, and paste the urls into my knowledge base. And effortlessly restore the list of urls to a new session when I want.

I'm able to re-create not just specific urls, but the context that I browsed them in.

If it is months or years later, it is really helpful to have a tree or list of urls, and maybe some notes. That makes it so much easier re-inhabit my state of mind during that research session.

I doubted whether it would be worth perusing, but I'm really glad I did. I love being able to recall research threads I started years earlier.

Unfortunately, it takes some effort to get set up to digest lots of tabs. I wish that this was recognized as more of a problem. It is so idiosyncratic that we are using open browser tabs as a temporary database to store lists of urls. Browsers should combine history, tab management, and bookmarks. It makes no sense anymore for those features to be separate from each other.

Potentially huge. If amazon decides to appeal, which they almost certainly will do, and if the 9th circuit and supreme court declines to hear the appeal, or upholds the verdict, then this would be precedent setting.

Online retailing will turn into physical retailing except in cyberspace. In this sort of environment then Amazon will likely have no competitive advantage over Walmart, or any other big retailer who sets up a good site, on the retail side. And Amazon doesn’t have a monopoly on smart tech/marketing/strategy/etc. folks either.

No wonder they’re putting so much effort into other projects, it’s doubtful they’ll ever turn a significant profit on their core business in this future environment. The margins will stay near zero.
The current status quo is that SCOTUS is staffed based on who happens to die and who happens to be President at that time. That's a terrible design: Roe v. Wade should not hang on whether there was an economic recession two years ago.

So if there's a court-packing arms race, that may not be a bad thing. It would bring this anachronism to a head.

Maybe we have LOTS MORE justices. Then each appointment would not be so politicized because their influence would be lessened. See https://www.scotusblog.com/2018/12/academic-highlight-epps-a...

Firefox has a built-in search engine for tab titles and URLs in its omnibar, which helps.
This is a nice distinction, actually. It means we can think about "stateless countries" (like Western Sahara, perhaps), and "countryless states" (like the Sovereign Military Order of Malta).
Congress makes laws, Supreme Court rules on their legality, President signs them into law. This is just procedure. It could describe a well functioning fascist regime or it could describe a rights-based democracy. I don't think Trump will be around forever but the problem is bigger than Trump.
This makes a lot of assumptions, for example:

1) You are the only one working on this project and there are no other people who may have varying experience levels or development schedules

2) You are in charge of all the software running on the machine and have the time to audit all of it

3) You are capable of writing software like this and didn't just contract it out to some firm

4) You are capable of writing software at all

WAFs are not perfect but there is clearly a market for them. It's not useful to high end tech companies because they have the in-house expertise (including red team/blue team staff) to avoid these pitfalls, which is expertise most small businesses and town/city-level govt agencies can't afford.
>It's quite abhorrent to stereotype an entire of party based on the sensationalism of an extremely small subset of actors.

Meanwhile the president was just on a stage in Minnesota talking about "racehorse theory"[1]. His biographer has previously described it as follows: "The family subscribes to a racehorse theory of human development. They believe that there are superior people and that if you put together the genes of a superior woman and a superior man, you get a superior offspring."[2]

I don't know where I would get the idea that he is in support of eugenics.

Lmao at thinking anyone who names their kid after Ayn rand could be principled. All the libertarians in congress are fine with raising the deficit when the republicans are in power but cry about fiscal responsibility when democrats are. The democratic party is the party of fiscal responsibility.
If Democrats gain power, nothing changes unless they frame their opportunity as "what would Mitch do?"

Wechat has an inherent advantage that in order to chat in China or too chat with anyone living in China, you must use wechat.

No American or European chatting app has this same benefit. And since chatting apps and social media in general tends to gravitate to the service with the most users, this puts wechat in a great position. Why use wechat to message your friend in China and WhatsApp to message the rest of the world, when you can just use wechat for both?

We’ve had a couple of similar issues with AWS WAF recently, in one case it blocked any request body containing :// (i.e. any URL) claiming it was a file system path. In the other we had a 3rd party cookie containing `= null` and the WAF thought it was sqli. I guess I can see the argument about layering multiple imperfect defences, but we wasted hours diagnosing these, neither were real issues, so I’m not sold on the value at this point.
Both are noisy and dirty.
> They do not give a fuck.

Why would they? There are no consequences to bad behavior!

Republicans push tax cuts through for the wealthy, leaving the country deeper in debt. So what do Democrats do when they get back in power? Let those cuts stand!

Imagine, if, for every Republican shenanigan, their price to pay would be much higher than any potential gains. They would think twice about being assholes then. But as things stand, they suffer no consequences! So why would they ever change??
I started agreeing with you when you said politicians were failing people.

I disagree sharply about the riots, though. I think bad actors use things like social media (and even traditional media) to whip people into a frenzy. That's where the violence comes from, and it is rooted in politics more than a reaction to it.
Hi, I'm really sorry to hear about this. :-( I wish I could offer some advice, but I wanted to express my support of what you're doing here. You deserve to have your voice heard, and all Asian-Americans deserve the unconditional & full support of our nation.

Hope you're right: https://www.axios.com/trump-ginsburg-supreme-court-10bf5f37-... . The threat of withholding money if they don't comply has got to be pretty effective to bring any independent thinkers in line.
I hope you're right. Stacking the court with a certain sort of justice would convince a lot of people to give up on this polity. The sooner this threat to humanity can be broken up in smaller parts, the better.
Well, this is just how much of the rest of the world sees your country, and in particular, the people who run it.

It's basically just the warmongering, racist bully of the world. Widely hated, much despised.

You might be proud of the USA thanks to your indoctrination, but that's just blinding you to how horrible it is.

Not that I would expect any better from your foul nation. It was literally built on genocide and the racist enslavement of your fellow humans. You should be howling in shame, not pride.
I am sorry that you are unaware of life before the internet. People have been trolling each other before the internet. A well known troll was sending packages that exploded on people.

So if norms don't matter (as you, McConnel, and Trump seem to argue), the Democrats ought to pack the court, no?
This is the most bizarre comment. If voters are voting for Republicans, that would suggest the Democratic platform isn't that popular.

That's literally what voting is.
Seems highly unlikely that John Roberts would let any decision on the election be that close. He's too much of an institutionalist to not find some way to bring along most, if not all, of the Justices. Given that, it's really quite preferable that the seat go unfilled, eliminating the possibility of a 5-4 decision with Roberts writing the dissent, a situation that really would spell doom for American democracy.
The other cool thing about slashdot moderation is why it's +5, like insightful, funny, and the coveted "+5 Troll"
For it to be a federal crime there (typically) needs to be an inter-state aspect to it. It's typically very easy to show that the communication crossed state lines if it was over the Internet, which removes jurisdictional challenges.

If you defraud your local grocery store with your coordination meetings in a local mcdonalds, it's _probably_ a state crime. ()

() (1) there are many ways a crime can slip into federal jurisdiction; (2) IANAL, so don't take advice from me when you're about to commit fraud.

> Starmer is a corporate stooge

Now, now. Starmer might not be a militant marxist, but he spent a good chunk of his life fighting for workers' rights in court. He also served faithfully in the shadow cabinet under Corbyn - are you saying that Corbyn chose a "corporate stooge" as his shadow minister, and on the hottest issue of the day at that (brexit)?

One of Corbyn's lackings was that he was unable to make friends in his own party, to the point that half of his own rank & file literally sabotaged him at the last election. By calling good people all sorts of unwarranted names we're only going to see a repeat, and $deity knows this country deserves better than yet another Tory government.
