> TIL that Wasm doesn't have GC. But I did observe periodic CPU spikes and app freezes with Wasm+WebGL. So now I wonder where they came from.

Very likely you are observing those spikes because, AFAIK (and I could be out of date here). The WASM -> JS bridge isn't a free one to cross and was likely allocating stuff onto Javascript's GC.

WASM is/was hyper isolated and sandboxed from javascript so any of the javascript APIs, such as webgl, have to jump through a moat of handshakes (similar to Java's JNI stuff).

> But obviously Sse3 and avx also help a lot.

Yeah, probably the case then. I'd have hoped that wasm would do a better job there, but then it'll depend on the browser/runtime.

> I think some industries, especially software, would do well to have more of a manager/coach model.

I agree. I don't really like admitting failure to my manager. While they're very understanding and easy to work with they're also the person writing my reviews, so there's some tension there.

I think I'd be able to open up more with someone not in my management chain. Maybe even someone who is not in the same business unit as me.
The Gabby Petito story, or for that matter, numerous commercial / Hollywood film production which were disasters on the set but produced classic or much-loved films, suggest that even video may well fail to capture or distort the true essence of a situation.

Narrative tools can be used to project truths or fictions. Which they do is rather at the mercy of the author / creator, editor, and often audience and/or reviewers. The latter becomes clear where the reception to a work changes long after it has been completed, through changing contexts.

That a photograph is a capture of a specific interval of light, with framing and exposure, does mean that an individual image can distort or project a false narrative in ways that might be more difficult with a longer and more contextually-grounded set of registrations. But there are plenty of examples of manipulation in video as well. Framing, context, juxtaposition, the Kuleshov effect, ... Auteurs know and use these.

Largely: you've got find a trustworthy narrator.
The level of mental gymnastics I'm seeing to deny this claim is astounding. Of course it's piracy, piracy is okay! It's interesting to see this touch a nerve so intensely, I think it's really exposing the lies people tell themselves to cope with a reality that isn't really internally consistent and that's why there's such a strong reaction.

Piracy is taking shit that doesn't "belong" to you but also doesn't cost anything to duplicate. It's a silly concept that shouldn't exist and only does so because we have a broken intellectual property system (though other broken systems contribute). That being said adblocking is still piracy. It doesn't matter that there are a bunch of good reasons to do it, it's still piracy.

Piracy is fine.*

[*] To be clear it's really not quite that simple because piracy does constitute some abstraction/derivative of lost revenue in our current systems and that does deprive people of value, however I think morally speaking it's pretty easy to come out on top if you are diligent about supporting creators in other ways. I don't make these choices easily, in general I'm down with drinking the hemlock, but the laws surrounding IP in the digital age are so obviously unjust and harmful that I'm not losing sleep.
Looking at the definition of equivocate, I see "use ambiguous language so as to conceal the truth or avoid committing oneself". I don't see that I have done that.

Perhaps "broadened" would be better. I have in fact broadened the definition of "search results" to capture the common usage and expectation of a user that punches a query string into google, taps "search", and is brought to a page of results.
IMO, New York is probably the first city most people associate America with, so they've been able to build a global media brand vs your local small town newspaper.
The problem with this analogy (as the author ties it up to the end point) is it implies you're leading a team that simply can't see the reality.

More often, the change in perspective allows the person in the back seat to see the car that is about to run a red light and smash into you, rather than it being a question of presenting them a better context.
Yeah, that repository is measuring performance of a WASM/Node.js hybrid, and not straight WASM. Interoperability costs can certainly dominate in such cases, where straight WASM can bypass much of the cost. Such a hybrid is what you want to measure often, but certainly not always, and a large part of what this article is talking about is the potential of pure WASM unshackled by Node.js.
Why on earth do people get all uppity about the COVID vaccine requiring multiple shots? Basically every vaccine you've ever had (and you've likely had a lot) required 2, 3, 4 or even periodic shots for your entire life.

- Flu. Twice per year until age 9 then one per year, forever.

- Td, one dose every 10 years, forever.

- Tdap, 4 doses.

- Pneumococcal, 2 doses.

- Rotavirus, 2 or 3 doses.

- Meningitis, 2 doses.

- MMR, 2 doses.

- Hepatitis A, 2 doses.

- Hepatitis B, 3 doses.

- HPV, 2 or 3 doses.

- Polio, 2 doses.

- Varicella, 2 doses.

Seriously, we've had vaccines for 300 years. This kind of shocked Pikachu reaction to the very concept of a booster is tiring and adds nothing to the conversation.

Honestly, one dose every 3 months to avoid AIDS? In a heartbeat. How is getting an ouchie once in a while anything other than a remarkable scientific breakthrough in the prevention of one of the most insidious diseases we have?

Any time there's a combinatorical number, you haven't factored the problem. The custom screen has 4 things: 3 buttons and an image.

You have two kinds of things: button and image.

The button can have language localization: English, Spanish, French

Each of the above things should be tested for what makes it different from other similar things. Not everything should need to be tested in all ways, all the way down.

Each thing should as much as possible validate its possible inputs. E.g. if you use any static type information, it would be impossible to pass in a missing value without an error before even trying to run anything.

The various devices you would need to test. But then again, each part (button or image layout and button text) could be tested first on their own. Building high quality parts that you can trust to do the right thing pay for themselves over time and then some.

If this doesn't make sense to you, perhaps you should invest in better frameworks, languages, or tooling. Otherwise follow the advice of other comments to try to effectively limit your effort.

Debian for example now does it, not sure about others but I expect lots of the mainstream ones are.
But you didn't ask a question, you made a statement. There are only two reasons I can think of for why someone wouldn't be surprised if something that is almost certainly false turned out to be true.

1. That person is wholly ignorant of the subject and so nothing about that subject would surprise them because that individual has no reason to believe anything about it one way or another. As an example, it wouldn't surprise me if it turned out that the Birch-Tate conjecture turned out to be false, because frankly I have no idea what that conjecture even means and so I have no reason to be surprised about it one way or another.

2. That person has expert knowledge about a topic that is not known by either the public at large or even by other experts in the field. Perhaps that person has devoted extensive and specialized research and managed to reveal a strong body of evidence that overturns the best commonly held understanding on that subject.

The reason I suspect you are being downvoted is because most people on HN think you're in category 1, that is you're someone who is not sufficiently informed on this topic to be surprised by it one way or another, and hence your comment comes across as revelling in your own ignorance.

If you're in category 2, then you have my sincere apology and I'd be genuinely interested for you to share your knowledge, but I somehow doubt that will happen.
This is the most concerning thing I have about the web in general. It feels like nothing is getting done because everyone is fighting with everyone else about everything.

I feel like WASM has just sort of rotted. It feels like so many advancements from threads to GC have been stuck in committee for years now.

I feel the same way about WebGPU. Just doesn't feel like anything is getting done when it comes to new compute standards.
Spolier alert. This page discloses the list of words
Or Google Photo that tagged Black people as gorilla. Clearly, developers must have tested with their own photos (on top of generic datasets) and if they had had more diversity within their dev team, they would have caught that sooner.
Every time something breaks, check to see which of the tests would have caught it. If only one test would have caught it, then you can summarize that test has some importance. If 24 of the tests would have, then each one individually has less value when the others are present. Do that for a while.

If your goal is to have absolute zero customer breakage ever, then you're just going to have to do the combinatorial tests no matter what or literally never release anything because that's what you decided to optimize for.

You cannot give everyone the same experience anyway, because everyone has different devices implementing different sets of web features and different sets of web browser extensions disabling various user hostile things that were added to the web platform over the years.
There is no data that supports this assertion whatsoever. There is a lot of evidence going against it. Theoretically it may be possible, but the probability of this is on the order of 0 and so close to 0 it will likely never happen.

Think of it like chemistry. Sure, two covalently bonded hydrogen atoms at STP could have nuclei 1cm from each other due to random chance. However, the probability of this happening is so low that it is effectively 0.
Keep in mind that 10% of the worlds carbon emissions is tarmac/roads. Not building, just them being around.

> Just think about it, you even mentioned serverless cloud apps. Are these cloud apps going to run inside a browser and therefore use Web Workers for threading? The answer is obviously no.

Yes actually. CloudFlare and several other cloud providers are trying to push towards V8 based sandboxing on the edge instead of the node-in-KVM model used by firecracker because the former is lighter and easier to deploy.
I think this highlights the necessity of patience and compassion in everyday interactions. Sure I might be more experienced than my junior devs and sure, often times I have access to the broader picture and direction of the project but if they come up with something that runs to the contrary, the least I should be able to offer them is considerations on my part. As in, sit with them, try to understand why they think that way. This will have two possible effects:

1. I'll know that I have not been communicating enough with them and they are making inferences with limited or distorted assumptions.

2. I have been making incorrect assumptions or inferences.

Needless to say, both of these have their own values. I think this is what is
necessary in a teacher as well. Lots of time we say that people with genius thinking does not make a good teacher because they automatically arrive at the correct answer and are usually baffled by those who aren't able to do so. The genius required to be a teacher is the ability to predict the different (and not necessarily correct) ways that people can arrive at a conclusion and identify why and which path someone took for a particular problem... and be kind about it.
Do you maybe have an example where it isn't able to maintain that "elegance"? In my experience of writing Haskell, I do write pretty terse, higher order code, with lots of higher order functions, applicative functors, monad transformers, and many other abstractions that relatively tersely describe what is happening.

The expressions may not be simple, because what is happening may just not be that simple, but (purely a feeling) compared how the code achieving the same would come out on other "mainstream" languages, Haskell still tends to come out on top for me.

Make it clash, which is a (strict, real) Haskell subset replacing VHDL and Verilog[1], and the difference is orders of magnitude. In my hobby use, I plain refuse to write anything else than simple glue logic in VHDL or Verilog now.

Really? How does a vaccine work in an organism that doesn't have an immune system?
The only tangible benefit I've ever heard of was qualifying for contracts with diversity quotas.

Similar for setting up 49% subsidiaries where the wife (wives) of the owners collectively own 51%, to qualify for minority ownership for fed govt contracts.
Because corona viruses are a different kind. There have been no vaccines against them so far and we saw how strongly they mutate. Still, the 3-shot regime seems to be very effective against severe disease. They probably deliver as much protection as possible unless you have a vaccine which targets exactly the strain you are fighting. So it will be interesting how the omicron-specific vaccines will do, if they do get used for larger campaigns.

Similar things happen surprisingly often in companies. Many intense arguments can be diffused by first being specific about what we agree upon.

Just to add to this, one strategy from the rationalist community that I rarely see practiced is to 'taboo' certain words. For example if two engineers are arguing about a solution not being scalable, taboo the word scalable. They both re-explain their POV without using the word scalable at all. It often works like magic and they quickly reach a shared understanding.

I just posted in another section: most ads simply don't target the kinds of people who use adblockers. Why spend so much effort and resources to force your ads in people's faces when they're just going to ignore them?

Of course, why do advertising companies spend so much effort and resources to force ads in people's faces in TV/billboards/mobile games/unblocked web? I suppose those advertisements actually net the company back revenue. But trying to send advertisements to someone who has uBlock and PiHole, VPN, etc. is not only extremely difficult, but basically useless.
Scholars of Trivia
It's pretty common for manager-types to say one opinion offhandedly and then, when others judge them, to say the opposite opinion and pretend they held the same opinion all along. In this case, the GP realized a little late that being a manager for 10+ years and thinking the majority of your 1:1's are useless is a signal for incompetence. Most competent managers take care not to put their funny business in writing on a public forum.

> by running around paying every hospital for opinions you're literally saying 'I'll pay anything you ask just fix me'

No you're not. You can choose which hospitals you're getting opinions from.

> In healthcare you have two modes: 1. I can afford the care, price is fairly immaterial make me better. 2. I can't afford the care, doesn't matter what the price is.

No it doesn't. I've shopped around for PCP. It wasn't like that at all. Do you think every doctor works in an inner city ICU or something? I'm not sure where you're pulling this view from.

> Given that the majority of bankruptcies in the US are due to health care just proves this point.

What point does it prove? I don't really see what point you're making. Is it the US system has major problems? If so, I agree. Is it that nationalized healthcare is the best choice? I haven't seen you make an argument for that at all other than conjuring your own personal ethical code.

> these two statements are functionally equivalent

I'm trying to make a coherent point, so that makes sense.

> not sure how you get to this idea. the point is you're hung up on the dying aspect which is basically immaterial...

So you agree with me now? Emergency care doesn't play a major role in the market?

> we already do. you can argue whatever you want but as a society we've already mandated this level of access

I'd like to see the mandate you're referencing. Sounds like you actually agree with codifying qualifying circumstances for care ;)

> every country with universal coverage disagrees with you

No they don't. Countries with nationalized healthcare routinely ration care. They recognize limited resources same as us, just through a bureaucratic system a oppose to a market system. Just because it's a man with an office deciding if you get to see the doctor rather than your bank account doesn't make it morally superior.

> If you want to discuss how to make a healthcare system that works, fine

This is the discussion I've been getting at the whole time. You're the one constantly conjuring some vague sense of morality as opposed to discussing which models may work better than others.
I'm gonna steelman here and say that "jaw dropping" and similar language describing the reaction of the original poster was hyperbole in the same realm as "I shit my pants at [jumpscare]"
It comes up when you're dealing with large amounts of data; you go to evaluate the value of a function and it crashes because the stack limit was exceeded. (Ghc changed some things awhile back so that it just allocates more memory now instead of crashing, but still it can cause performance/memory use issues if what looks like just an integer is actually just pointing to an unevaluated thunk pointing to megabytes of data.) Laziness is also annoying when trying to get parallel code to actually run in parallel instead of having expensive computations deferred to whenever the consumer evaluates the value of something.

Laziness does have real benefits sometimes though. It's nice to be able to define infinite data structures, for instance.

Oh, I have implemented wasm multi-threading both in-browser and on a node server. On the latter, it uses node's "Worker threads" API, which is very similar to in-browser Web workers. In either case, `SharedArrayBuffer` serves as the backing store for the (shared) `WebAssembly.Memory`. Wasmer is different and more like what WebAssembly should offer as part of the standard. Alas, that's not how wasm works in-browser.

But anyway, I think you confuse my point: the very fact that threading isn't fully covered by the core wasm programming model, but relies on a "hybrid" approach where the embedder needs to plug in those capabilities is a problem. Before wasm, I used Google's PNaCl quite heavily, which didn't suffer this problem and was fully self-contained.
It’s not that they’re underpriced, but that there’s a chip shortage and scalpers are taking advantage of it.
Well put. We can actually detect well below 50 copies/mL in the laboratory setting as well; we don’t go below this to maintain adequate test specificity and sensitivity in the clinical setting.

Why does the editor matter, really? The lawyers can use Word if that's what they are best at. It seems orthogonal to the issue of managing digital signatures.

How is developing with Haskell? I've been considering picking it up because I love functional programming. I usually write quick n dirty stuff in python and lately I've been picking up go as well, which is a breeze to write with.

Can I get moving quickly with Haskell or will it take a while to get accustomed to it switching from other languages? My fear is that, like when I started picking up rust, it'll be a bit of a slog.
