"If old analog systems provided the functionality or cost savings a microprocessor could, then those would be used."

This is a circular argument - if there was a better method for banks to access customer credit worthiness, they would be using that methodology. Wait, what do you mean global economy collapsed because of subprime loans?

God created the best possible world, because if better world would be possible then god would create that world instead. What, BigBrain, you think you can suggest an improvement to God's design and millions of years of evolution? You want separate holes to eating and drinking so that a million people don't choke to death every year?

With that logic no criticism of the existing system can be made, you don't even have to engage with veracity of any of the claims made by the poster and can reject his argument wholesale.

This poster is not interested in cost savings for the manufacturer, he is interested in claims about MCU making dishwasher more efficient. With engines we have recorded MPG improvements.

What improvements have materialised for diahwasher?

> Automated vehicles hold tremendous promise. Cars that handle most or all of the driving tasks could be safer than human drivers, operate more efficiently and open up new opportunities for seniors, people with disabilities and others who can’t drive themselves. But while attention has understandably focused on safety, the potential environmental impacts of automated vehicles have largely taken a back seat.

It’s OK to keep making and driving cars, but if the elderly and disabed can now use them, this is where we draw the line on environmental impact?

This is a great post and generally echos my own experience. I think Destiny is a decent brand with a smaller, but still sizable following.

My personal opinion: Sony wanted to acquire both the Destiny brand and the team that built that brand—especially the innovative networking engineers. I hope that Bungie gets another shot at a new brand, maybe something that isn't a shooter.

Why do you think it's a scummy pattern?
That's a pretty reasonable assessment.

Honestly, I wonder how much of this has to do with how much things have changed in the last 25 years. Games have gotten so much more complex and shifted their focus to multiplayer. It feels like it's no longer possible for a single developer to have so much impact. Rare developed multiple iconic games _per year_! Nowadays, developers can barely release one game every few years.

> Cells multiply by themselves all the time. Triggering that effect is how you get cancer. Your heart beats constantly. Triggering that too much (or in the wrong rhythm) is not a good thing.

Those are wrong analogies though. Vaccines don't trigger something too much. They trigger the exact same mechanism that will be triggered anyway when you get infected with the actual virus, but in a safe way.
What about them? Cisco software would regularly crap the bed and the only thing I would trust mikrotik for would be l2 stuff. I remember some choice bugs where Cisco failover would constantly flap and take our external routers down when using certain gbics that were bought and labeled from Cisco. Their TAC was like, yea, we found those to be incompatible and refused to replace anything, until I showed them our new juniper routers.

It’s been a couple years since I have used Cisco but have a bunch of friends that manage large deployments and it doesn’t seem to have improved since I was doing my deployments.

We use a similar pattern. Not great, but not terrible.
You can't create an "intent inquisition" court system to fix the problems surrounding speech, offense, violence etc. There is no political solution. The sincerity with which we hold beliefs is what motivates the desire to harm those who hold contradictory beliefs, whether acted on or not. Humans naturally crave life in a civilization where their personal "god/pantheon" of core values is the unifying social glue. That kind of life seems to make sense as one where a person can live each day with only moderate difficulty, work and acquire enduring wealth, be part of a family that sticks together. When they feel like that is within reach, or under threat, they will game any system or flout its rules to fight each other.

> Incidentally I didn't really win much

I've heard it said that the casinos encourage bad card counters, because someone who has a "system" that doesn't really work for them is going to lose even _more_ money playing. It's only when you start really winning that they care. The fact that you were obvious about it just made it easier for them to identify you once you won anything significant.
A single day holds at an absolute maximum of 3^30 different combinations but in practice it's probably much less than that because people converge to more green boxes (generally) as they guess more. I'd bet by 3 days though you've provided a unique set of answers.
Everything about modern cars, except for touchscreens, is superior to past cars including corrosion resistance. A five year old car from the 80's in an area that used salt and sand would have rust holes. A car from 2012 doesn't have anywhere near as much rust now.

My first car was a 13 year old Toyota Tercel. It had literal 8"+ rust holes in every door, the frame had rust holes, and the fenders were falling apart from rust. My second car was a 10 year old Cutlass Supreme. It had a 6" rust hole one door, a rust hole in one fender, and plenty of other rust underneath. This does not happen anymore, except maybe trucks used for salt.

>There’s good reason to believe that Wasm represents the future of containerization. Compared to Docker, it has 10-100x faster cold start times, has a smaller footprint, and uses a better-constrained capability-based security model. Making Wasm modules, as opposed to containers, the standard unit of compute and deployment would enable better scalability and security.

I don't see how these are "big" wins over containers. The services I run don't have to worry about cold start times. It takes much longer than starting a container for my services to be ready anyways. I also don't see how it has a smaller footprint. The application needs to be stored somewhere. While containers may only have coarse capability based security using namespaces I'm not sure having super fine grained capability based security would make it be worth switching over to wasm.

Believe it or not, we use the same PPP format common in agile dev shops. However, instead of "Progress, Plans, and Problems," we use "Victories, Goals, and Help Needed" to give it a slightly more optimistic and personal feel. We also set aside time to discuss big picture items (such as challenges at work, medium and long-term relationship management, housing repairs, etc.).

We don't have kids, but if we did, we would definitely use this time to sync up about that. Make sure we both know what activities they have coming up and/or shared understanding of how to love, praise and discipline them.

Mazda also released the spark-compression gasoline engine in the current round of Mazda designs. PHEVs allow gas engines to run on the Atkinson cycle.

Range extenders or an emergency recharger is about all you can use them for.

We do need an ultracompact engine for what I think is a sweet spot for consumer transition: 100 miles of LFP battery range + a compact range extender gas engine until charging infrastructure is ready and fast charging works reasonably well.

Would that have justified the tweet because now the hurt is somehow more equal? How do we measure relative hurt?
I think it's more that you're with a group of people who don't hate advertising enough to take any action against it.
I think part of the pushback you're getting here is that you're contesting "WebAssembly is almost always faster than JavaScript" (which IMO is correct and appropriately couched) with "WASM + JS can be slower than just JS" (which is also correct), but the way you're communicating it comes across as "WASM is just slower than JS" (that's obviously not literally what you're saying, but that's how it's coming across).

If we're going to be pedantic and nit-picky about claims, please use more precise counterclaims. It only takes a few extra words to clearly state you're talking about WASM + JS, which is an important distinction since many† people here are interested in WASM-only, without the JS (with the alternative in their mind being JS-only, without the WASM).

†In the spirit of pedantry, I mean many. Not all. Maybe not even a majority. But reasonably many.
> Why would bookmakers ever take bets from someone they don't expect to make money from?

Well, bookmakers like to minimize their risk. So, suppose Person X is going to bet on team A, but most people have already bet on team B. The bookmaker thinks team A is far more likely to win, but he still takes the bet. Then he goes from being a gambler to having a balanced book and making a known profit regardless of who wins.

> WebAssembly will never have direct access to the DOM

I haven’t been paying much attention to WASM proposals for the last few years, but I thought that direct DOM access (avoiding JavaScript trampolining) was one of the driving goals of the reference type, interface type and garbage collection proposals. https://github.com/WebAssembly/proposals/issues/16 mentions “call Web APIs (passing primitives or DOM/GC/Web API objects) directly from WebAssembly without calling through JavaScript”, and WASM’s high level goals document <https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/blob/main/HighLevelGoa...> lists “access browser functionality through the same Web APIs that are accessible to JavaScript” (not “through JavaScript”, but “through the same APIs”). Am I misunderstanding things?

Well, a virus can be contagious without symptoms. COVID in particular starts spreading before symptoms suggesting you could have respiratory virus without people even being aware they are infected. And we know most people are not even aware they were sick or they had only mild symptoms.

The issue with COVID is that some people are hit hard and a lot of people develop hard to detect complications.

If you could modify the virus to avoid complications and avoid hitting some people very hard, you could have pretty effective way to innoculate population.

The thing you are after is a virus that has same basic spike protein for your immune system to recognize and only enough mechanism to multiply itself.
Yeah, i wanted to make a simpler template like the one used in CityDesk or the one in the root site (that i haven't updated for ages however i already had made a custom template for consistency: the "Blog" part was generated by Pelican and the rest of the site with a custom generator) instead of the heavy one i ended up using (that IMO is the best -or least bad- among those available, at least according to my taste and needs :-P). But when i tried to figure out how to make a custom theme i just noped away.

We hired her, she wasn't very good writing code. But she answered all our questions perfectly, which only happened once before.
