WebAssembly itself is independent of the web or the browser. Therefore it is impossible for it to depend on Web Workers or SharedArrayBuffers. Rather it is the browser implementation of WASM (the embedder) that uses these technologies you seem to hate.

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.

WASM itself merely provides shared memory and instructions needed in multithreaded environments like i32.atomic.rmw.cmpxchg and i32.atomic.store, but it doesn't stipulate how threads are created.

I don't blame you but lots of people confuse WASM itself with the browsers' implementation of WASM (which, among other things, decides which functions are imported into WASM and how they work). But to me, the most exciting future of WASM is outside the browser. So we must clearly delineate features of WASM from the browser-specific bits.
You don't think criminal gangs would arise to resell non rationed or APG items, or that violence based arbitration of access doesn't occur? Criminal gangs operate orthogonally to the law chasing profit margin. They have no qualms working in ostensibly legal markets and imposing a near monopoly through violence on it. For one example of many, see the cartels' involvement in the avocado trade.
I don't know

but you can generate LLVM IR and then use wasm-ld in order to generate WASM :P
What do you mean by "free credit", "3k wagered" and "limited to pennies on the dollar"?

Did they stop you from betting completely? Introduce a really low dollar limit per bet? Gub your accounts?
Bolt’s CEO Resigns Two Weeks After Securing $11B Valuation
The NYT makes money from paid subscriptions. Anything that increases the virality of their subscriber acquisition is going to make back a whole bunch of money. There are lots of people that subscribe to the NYT principally for the games, which Wordle fits into nicely.

This deal makes perfect sense for NYT. I don't see it making sense for a lot of other companies (they don't already have an engine that you can stick games into and get subscriber dollars out of, and building that engine will swamp the cost of Wordle itself), but here, sure.
Not being hungry and getting out of the elements are the most ancient goals throughout the history of humans. I think most people would want to avoid biking in 0C.
I'd like to buy a vowel..

Right. I got a console as a bundle. Luckily only the one game included wasn’t really that interesting to me, but will be OK to check out.

I actually don’t mind bundles. They do seem to ensure, at least for RPis, that if you honestly only want one you can get one. That person would otherwise be left with nothing while others hoard or sit.

Edit-it’s the scalpers that are doing harm here.
Well I'll tell you more: if you're not buying anything from the website and you're blocking ads, then you're not the target audience and your opinion is irrelevant to the site's owners. You're just burning electricity and occupying the CPU.

Which means that by using an ad-blocker, people are removing themselves from the audience that has any vote in how content sites develop. You're miffed that sites are becoming dumber while ads are all over the place and uglier every day? You don't like video ads, modal calls-to-action and dark patterns? Well, the audience that actually brings in the money seems to have no problem with all of that, so ad-blocking people will proceed to take a hike right past the attention of site designers.
How is different from 10,000 other browser-based ad-supported games?

Wordle seems pretty primitive by comparison to some of those, and the only competitive advantage it has, is that you can share your attempts at guessing with friends.

Also, they only have 2315 possible words as answers, so this is going to get really stale in a few months to a year.

Seems not worth paying 7 figures for, but what do I know?
It would be more interesting if a federation of non-profit ISPs were to do that! :)
Indeed, a solitary exclamation mark cannot convey my feelings here. For much of my life, I've watched housing grow faster than my income, and I had pretty much given up on the notion before I met my current partner... with two tech incomes, it's actually within our reach. As a kid (circa 1990), we'd play "what would you do with a million dollars" with all sorts of fantastical notions, and as the years have gone by, the answer settled on "a house" and has now reached "a small house in a crappy location." Perhaps "a down payment on a nice place." I'm both happy for the creator, and sad about the reality of realty.
The "web" today is effectively a basic virtual machine, and pages are containers deployed onto it.

Which means you get all the bloat of re-shipping an OS (js libs), because the ecosystem as a whole would rather have diversity, speed of framework iteration, minimized developer time, and absolutely minimal client friction.

And by and large, those have been good choices! Look at how far the web's come in just the last 30 years.

But as you note, many of those goals are incompatible with game engines, which have seriously tight minimum performance requirements.

So what do you think are the most important priorities for a 3D world format? I'm assuming performance (rendering and network) comes first, but what gets optimized for after that?
Nexon, Netmarble, Bandai-Namco are all comparable to or bigger than Ubisoft in terms of revenue I believe.
Reminds me of a senior tech lead candidate I interviewed a few months ago who was like "I don't know the answer, but can you give me a couple of minutes to sort on my thought?". Then very obviously started searching on internet (thinking he was hiding it well enough...).

The question was along the lines of "how do you typically protect your code against sql injections?" (in a language and framework agnostic context)
That's why I said "most humans". bnAbs are generally antibodies that are detected in (few) humans. In addition to the people with seeming immunity through missing receptors or unusual antibody morphology, there's also about 1 in 200 infected that are "elite controllers" that do not develop high viral loads or severe symptoms when infected by HIV-- generally in large part to their bodies making multiple bnAbs.
Single laptop screen user here. I use zen mode as often as possible and try to focus on a single task instead of multitasking. Before the pandemic I used a 4k rv as a monitor at work and kept the laptop screen shut. Even then I tried to work on one thing at a time. I wasn't able to bring it home.

There's a whole bunch of perfect Wordle clones that get ~none of the traffic Wordle gets, and none of the viral word-of-mouth spread. The NYT uses word games as a subscription driver. So that's what they're buying here.

They could implement Wordle themselves, of course, but they wouldn't get the traffic or the interest from players.
My guess is that is it possible to have great diversity of thought and experience while still having high social cohesion.

During the height of immigration in the US, there was high social cohesion within communities of people who came from the same country while still having great diversity of ideas across the nation as a whole.
Another theory is that during deep sleep cells go into more of a maintenance mode, with slightly increased mitosis rates, waste removal and decreased central (nervous-system control) acting slightly more like single-celled organisms.

This state change seems to be partially thermally regulated but also via chemical and neuron mechanisms.

Yawning and stretching (pandiculation) seems to be correlated with increasing alertness and temperature so maybe it helps sync your cells back to optimal central-nervous system control and suppresses the unicellular maintenance functions. For example it's disadvantageous to have a bunch of your muscle cells in the middle of mitosis if you soon need to run from a predator or hunt.
I'm guessing you're implying all catholics are right wing?
2019! some of these (eg dragora) seem a little stale.
It’s not so dire because you can continue to play “classic” Wordle forever — or well 2028 at least. It’s a static, front-end only app with a predetermined word list iterating in order.
Your pipeline processes would be compiled to wasm, and any syscalls they make would be serviced by the wasm runtime, which can apply whatever restrictions it wants to to contain what the process can do.

If your pipeline processes are not compiled to wasm, they could alternatively be run on an ELF loader + interpreter that is compiled to wasm and functions just like in the previous paragraph. Of course that'd likely be slow, just like running CI for a foreign arch in qemu is slow.
Beautiful lesson in just building something cool that people will love, and completely forget about monetization. If it explodes, the money will come.
Do you have any citations that these people performing ad hoc arbitrage between a disaster region and outside it are statistically relevant?
The coding is easy. Getting the design (one word a day) and sharing right is one of those things that is easy in retrospect.
That's exactly what the exchanges are e.g. Betfair. More popular in UK/Europe though.
Seems to me like a quick fix would be to not use white/black to refer to people.
Not sure if fits the criteria but I have built CanvasGraphEngine[0] with the intent for it to be a visual programming tool for devs, meaning you still write code but it can be made into a node/graph so its easier to encapsulate code in a more visual manner.
The main image[1] demonstrates how to train and predict a MNIST classifier with image generator and model building. Underneath the hood it connects to jupyter and each node wraps the necessary python code required for only that node. The jupyter version of it is not public but can be made if enough interest.

If you want to get packets fast into userspace you can now apparently also AF_XDP on Linux which is also effectively a kernel bypass. The driver will put packets into a ringbuffer before they hit the remaining kernel, and userspace can fetch them effectively there. I haven’t benchmarked for the same application, but it promises to give similar levels of performance.

I think the other questions are more ones of library design and less about the packet API one uses. On top of all kinds of APIs one could build singlethreaded state machines which deque packets and process them. Or other architectures if required.
That may have been a poor choice of words on my part. I am struggling to come up with a better choice.

I guess the analog would be “Ms Rowlings, I think the price of your book is too high, so I am going to pay you whatever price I want to. You don’t get a choice”

Someone spent time and energy to create something, and decided that annoying ads are the price of their labor. People seem to think they now deserve the labor without the price that the creator has chosen.

In almost all your scenarios they are predicated on having compensated the author in some way. Blocking ads is consuming the content without compensating the author in any way.
I think FB and a lot of VCs are going to learn that virtual worlds are boring, if not awful, unless they're tied to an addictive game loop. It'll be six years since the Vive came out, possibly the first "realistic," open-ish, mm tracking, high performance, modern VR set and there's still no killer app for VR. Worse, the VR market has decided its all nonsense anyway and is fine with buying headsets that just run mobile phone chipsets because that performance and graphics is "good enough" and no one is demanding a photo realistic world to lose yourself in. All they care if the games are good enough, that is to say if the loop addictive.

Those pushing out past games in VR are brave and I'm thankful they are there. Maybe Meta will figure it out, but I'm skeptical.
Incredibly cool, thank you. I would like it if the back button would function, if possible (there is a function called ReplaceState that makes this trivial).
Because most straight people don't need it, risk is much lower. Truvada is nephrotoxic and that's bad in the long term, many drugs are bad if taken for long periods. Condoms have no such side effects.
India is derived from "Hindu". It rhymes and in some languages, it is the same.
Nobody brought up “canceling” anything, I’m not sure why your comment is relevant.
May work in general, for me specifically no.

I've played 1 game from Zenni in the last 10 years for more than a few minutes (deathloop), (tried their others no interest, hate stealth, hate super long games). One from blizzard (overwatch this one got me, like 900 hours), one from activision (warzone for like 3 days). So that stable of games wouldn't have me specifically retaining game pass, I'd just buy them. Also Halo wants to double dip you with the game and the battle pass even if you have ultimate.

I think Zenni was a much better acquisition than AB. Blizzard has some great IP, they don't have the talent to make it go anymore. Activision has what, COD and a ton of old IP they weren't doing anything with? Really Microsoft will need to take one of their solid studios that is bad at IP and good at execution give them something like Starcraft, but I don't even know how deep their stable of developers without projects is right now.

But also I realized a while ago, I have way less time than games to play. I have an unlimited 2k entitlement for instance and barely play those games (didn't like civ, not into sports games). And I do hate subscriptions that remind me constantly what I'm paying for them that I know I'm not using.

Anyway, my $0.02.
There have been demonstrations of using non-rechargeable aluminium-air batteries for that purpose which would have to be returned to a smelter to be "recharged". Sadly, only prototypes.
Human unintentional and intentional coordination in interaction with a robot
Another (transactional) lawyer here. While I generally agree with this, there are still circumstances in which something like a VC system would be useful. It's not uncommon for documents to go through a dozen or more (sometimes significantly more) iterations before being finalized. It would sometimes be useful to know in which version a particular fragment of language was inserted. But this can be worked out "manually", and indeed I think the real issue is that the value add of a VC system is probably small enough that it's just not worth any significant additional complexity. Having said that, I've long considered doing a lunchtime brownbag session on git, just to blow people's minds about what is possible.

I do disagree about "Track Changes" though. That quickly becomes an incomprehensible mess. Better to avoid Track Changes (except in very small/simple agreements where you don't expect more than one or two turns, in which case it can be useful) and send a "clean" and redline version (based on the immediately preceding version) on each turn.
If your business model is no longer profitable then you should go do something else.

I'm not obligated to pay for cable when Netflix is cheaper and better. If your family depends on that Cable money to survive, well that's sad but not my problem. Make a better product, change your business model, do something.

Again, content providers are free to stop providing content at any time. There's not much else to say here. It's not my problem of they deliberately decide not to do that

These "please sir, have pity, think of the children" appeals are futile
Why did you get flagged when you are absolutely correct. Why would you think that mRNA vaccines, which failed for so many years in testing, would presto work this time. and they clearly didn’t work this time, unless you drone around mumbling how thank god your symptoms would have been worse without it.

As a matter of fact, the “trials’ during warp speed were so flawed to show efficacy it is pathetic. But these tech geeks here know better.
I figured they were buying the IP more than anything.
I don't think they're underrated, they're much more expensive than drawing pixels on a screen, especially now that screens are required, by federal law (back up cameras). I imagine we'll first see them reappear in luxury cars.
Makes sense and sounds logical to me. Hopefully he sticks to his guns and doesn't allow the sources of the funding taint data collection or conclusions from data collection.
Note that (AFAIK), for adults, "why" can get you the wrong response (puts people on the defensive), so (AFAIK) it's recommended to use "what" instead (which tends to get at the "why" you wanted in the first place) -

"why do you think that?" -> "what led to you thinking that?"

:shrug: It works, sooooo.
Plenty of countries without reserve currencies have similar or higher rates of drug use..
The Raspberry Pi isn't the only board around. If you need something very specific then fine, but most software that runs on it, either has been already ported, or can be easily compiled to run on many other boards.
Just spent less than 5 minutes and found loads of boards that run Linux out of the box. Most of the NanoPi at friendlyarm.com are in stock, so are most of the Pine64 boards at pine64.org; many H3 based OrangePi boards are available from multiple vendors on Ebay, also many Olimex, Sinovoip, Beagleboard, etc. are in stock right now at tme.eu.
In the meantime, I just swapped my Rpi4 4GB with a 1st gen used Chromebox unlocked and reflashed with LibreElec; the performance gain compared to the Rpi4 is very noticeable.
I just had to purchase separately a Pulse Eight USB-HDMI-CEC interface (the Chromebox HDMI port doesn't support CEC) so that I can use the TV remote with Kodi as well.
You can blame James I for that, not the BBC. Blasphemy was banned on the English stage in 1606 (the "Restraint of Players" act) and so later publications are usually expunged.

The BBC production could have been using a later edition (possibly based on the First Folio from 1623) which censors all the references to God and other blasphemy like "zounds", which is short for "God's wounds". You where almost certainly following along with an edition where the editor had restored the original published text from before the act was created.
Also, would be great to have generic condition & state functions, so the flow can define a state-machine.
And continuing on that note, non-simple cross-origin GET requests initiated via JS also requires a pre-flight OPTIONS request (actually any non-simple HTTP request would require this). See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS#simpl...
It's nephrotoxic over long periods of time. Condoms arent.
One of the worst things about the internet, is almost nothing is impressive anymore. It's hard to describe now how outstanding that video was when it came out. And how rare it was to have an experience like that. To see something so many std devs better than the norm than anything else you had previously seen.

Now, so much (of everything) comes out so often, in every shape and size . And so many things are extreme for extreme sake, that it's hard to have that same wonder or amazement like seeing this for the first time.

Everything is now common place. Even revolutionary experiences are so common place they no longer really register anymore.
Ah, yes, ‘it's fine because it's technically legal’. The pinnacle of Western morality, wow.

You may notice, however, that the question of legality wasn't my objection in the first place.
Honestly if your budget is raspberry pi levels you are better off probably buying some used dell desktop for as cheap as possible. Would be more powerful than the pi probably and a better platform for things like a home fileserver. People have built clusters out of those ultra low form factor dells.
I'd imagine NYT could technically copyright strike anyone that hosts it, given that they've now bought the copyright to that particular arrangement of words. I wonder if it will come to that. This has an "Ethereum Classic" feel to it...
Googleplex designer says tech's campuses are 'fundamentally unhealthy'
You have a naturally curious mind. Wish there were more students like yourself. Very nice work.
This seems mostly like a rhetorical way to launder non-boring technology into boring shops. There's nothing on this checklist than an "exciting" new database couldn't have right out of the gate. Like, put something like "doesn't use Raft" in the checklist!
I've only tried it from their app, so maybe it's different. I may also be thinking only of the Mini crosswords.
I think the place where the disagreement or misunderstanding lies is in how we're describing thinking about unknowns.

You seem to be taking this from the perspective that, because there are unknowns, literally anything could happen. And we don't think that's the case with my vaccines or code.

Pushing v2 of your webapp to master isn't going to cause rockets to launch. There are things that could happen and there are even very surprising things that are unlikely but could happen. But not everything is possible.

When we say "we understand how vaccines work pretty well", we mean that in the same was as "we know how our app works pretty well". That doesn't mean that we can't still be surprised, but it does mean that we have some things that we can be confident won't happen.

One such thing is sudden onset symptoms well after the thing has left your system, because there isn't a biological way for that to have an effect (to use the code analogy, you enable an experiment, it modifies database writes for a while, then you disable the experiment and delete the code. Once you've deleted the code, we know it can't do anything else, because it's not there anymore.

That's true with both vaccines and webapps.

Beards/runners have been a thing in sports gambling for like decades. Laying bets is harder than actually picking the sides when you get to the top of the market. You should follow Spanky on Twitter and listen to his podcast.

You're going to get a nasty dose of truth about the fungibility of BTC if you end up with tainted BTC and try to cash them out on an exchange.

There are some crypto that are practically fungible (although technically not). Look into privacy coins.
