> There absolutely were ancient people who shared genetic traits (and therefore some expressed characteristics) with modern Swedish people. There literally must have been, that's how genetics work, and 5,000 years is barely a blink, genetically.

That’s kind of my point. 5,000 years ago there were no people who looked like Swedes. Now there are because of selection pressures. A new genotype came into existence by working on standing variation and some de novo mutations. If we agree that selection pressures can radically change the appearance of a people then there’s not much to disagree on. Evolution can work on many things apart from physical appears.

Different places have different selection pressures, with the obvious consequences.

There are acceptable steps to take in order to remove yourself and some of your data from the things you disagree with, but just because you can't reach step 10 right now, doesn't mean you should take step 1.
You can just use sqlite then. Very compact, highly popular (in different role though). Seen it used for large datasets - map tiles (millions of jpeg files). Much smaller size than zip or tar archive, indexed, fast.

These must not be a federal thing, because I still don't really know what people mean by this. Is it a state thing?

Private surveillance that the CDC and anyone else can buy. I agree that collecting this info in the first place, let alone selling it, should be very, very illegal.
> Race does not exist, genetically. Period.

And yet ancestry.com can comfortably tell anyone which continental scale human population or populations they are descended from and that happens to map pretty neatly to the US Census Bureau's notion of race.

Being aware that major geographic features of the Earth such as the Atlantic Ocean, the Himalayas, and the Sahara Desert were more or less impermeable barriers to gene flow between continental human populations until about five centuries ago isn't racist and you should stop calling people names.
> 5,000 years ago there were no people who looked like Swedes. Now there are because of selection pressures.

100% false. You need to realize that. 5,000 years is not enough time to do anything significant, genetically.
I assume each sprite is moved on the CPU and the position data is passed to the GPU for rendering.

Curious how you are passing the data to the GPU - are you having a single dynamic vertex buffer that is uploaded each frame?

Is the vertex data a single position and the GPU is generating the quad from this?

> Web Components is it's slower than React or other vDOM implementations

> To re-render, you have to manipulate the innerHTML--usually replacing the string every update

"Usually" is relative, I guess, but nothing's stopping you from using the imperative DOM APIs to update the component's contents; I daresay this would be the typical thing to do. These APIs will be just as performant as anything else out there. What you're really giving up, then, is the reactive programming model. Web Components are just a way of modularizing things; they have nothing to say about how you update the DOM (for better and worse).

You are right (I think) that there's no good way around converting attributes to and from strings, though the performance overhead there should be minuscule in most cases. The bigger problems with that are a) some data (like functions) can't be serialized at all, and b) it leaves a lot of room for passing invalid values

Sometimes i think this too.

I think part of the joy (for me) used to be in the deep understanding of the hardware and making something out of what felt like nothing.

If I’m doing something with a load of libraries and feel like a plumber more than a programmer then I find that excitement hard to come by.

Playing with modern day microcontrollers, SoC stuff or building software with hard real-time requirements is still a lot of fun - i just don’t get to do it so much these days.

It’s not dull really but I find it laborious and sometimes stupid. The sense of achievement has been sucked away by deep rabbit holes of research required to decipher even the simplest tasks. The retention and value of knowledge has declined due to the transient nature of everything too. Every day is a catching up session for something which is either horrible or will be replaced before you’ve finished the job.

I reserve the label stupid specifically for templated YAML which makes me want to strangle people fairly quickly.

Great work! Nice to see some progress in this direction.

The WasmEdge team also tamed their crun OCI runtime to run containers as well as wasm modules. [1]

So running wasm along with your pods is not exactly new.

Though it yet needs to be proven what’s the better approach: a shim on CRI level or integration in OCI level…

With Django migrations each migration needs to specify the migrations that have to be executed first - its dependencies.

Usually this is a single ID, but multiple IDs are supported.

Here's an example: https://github.com/CAVaccineInventory/vial/blob/0359ec1b44d0...

This means that you can actually have two migrations with the same number and they won't break, provided they have correctly specified their dependencies.

Django has a mechanism whereby you can resolve conflicts caused by two people working in branches: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/topics/migrations/#ver...

In practice though I've found it best to avoid these - as a developer I'll reconstruct my migration if I find someone else has landed one before I did, to keep things simple and linear.
I mostly ate it for the gravy, which was pretty solid. The meatballs themselves were fine; their only saving grace was that you could get quite a few of them for a reasonable price, which made them attractive after checking out 50 models of bedroom furniture for 2 and a half hours.
I did; do you understand why I am saying "DOG leaves food or objects alone when told to do so" or "DOG is quick to sneak out through open doors, gates" or "DOG is slow to respond to corrections" (among many other questions) are utterly irrelevant when people consider why certain types of dogs are dangerous?

> Most, if not all of these factors can be altered with behaviour modification (training).

What percentage of dog owners know how to train a dog properly, or hire someone who can? It just seems like you're not thinking about how dogs exist in the real world.

I am not meaning it like that sorry that I did not explain well. There is a place for frameworks, and there is a place for "wrapping" non framework projects as a consumable. I am stuck here. I just meant that any framework or not is optional. React, Angular, Vue, Svelte or my funny.html should be able to use my "bundle" with options because the "bundle" doesn't care. That is where Custom Elements shine. It's just that from my perspective, Angular is the interface to the project.
Neat. Isn't this akin to 400k triangles on a GPU? So as long as you do instancing it doesn't seem too difficult (performance wise) in itself. Even if there are many sprites, texture mapping should solve for the taking pixels to the screen part.

My guess is that the rendering is not the hardest part, although it's kinda cool.

It gets setup fairly similarly to how you would run a "normal" runc container.
containerd passes along a path to the rootfs of the container (for wasi I'd expect to be just the wasm module) which is built from the OCI image along with a set of mounts the be mounted to the rootfs. The project here goes ahead and performs those mounts to the rootfs path and then maps that rootfs path into wasmtime's WASI config as "/".

If you have something like a Kubernetes volume, config map, secret, etc. this is all prepared by Kubelet and winds up as mounts we need to perform as mentioned above.
Your ideas could potentially be encoded in a better ranking/recommender _algorithm_ ..

ie. recommenders using something akin to page-rank could/should inject some random items so as to allow new content to bubble up and good new content to be voted up.

It seems nature does something similar - copying DNA pretty accurately, yet allowing for some mutations to advance things and adapt to a changing environment.
I hadn't. But it's a fair ask.

Sadly, this group of authors didn't know the meaning either. Typical.

As a rule, I avoid using terms I can't define. If you know any of the authors, please pass that tip along. Thanks.

Wut?
Not all titles are translated the same. This is particularly a problem with Japanese titles, which can be frustratingly different sometimes.

For example, the following is the title as used in the Anime: "Graced by the Gods". However, a more literal translation (and the one the novel was originally (unofficially) translated under) was "The Man Picked Up By the Gods". Compared with the romanji "Kamitachi ni Hirowareta Otoko", which is much more consistent to find it by.

Separately, there's also titles that translate like: "I Came to Another World as a Jack of All Trades and a Master of None to Journey while Relying on Quickness"...

EDIT: Another advantage of using the Japanese names is you can use fewer words to search/refer by. For example, "The Irregular in Magic High School" is most often referred to simply as "Mahoka" by its fans. Same with Danmachi.

That actually sounds pretty cool as a runtime environment. Is the VM programmed in byte code, or is it native code? What back ends are available? What is the runtime written in?

> Admittedly, I thought Ep 8 was the entire wrong genre for Star Wars: it was a Vietnam War movie in a franchise built around World War 2 metaphors/aesthetics.

Ah, but Star Wars has always been a Vietnam metaphor filtered through WW2 aesthetics. Specifically, with the Rebels being the Viet Cong -- they're a small group using asymmetric warfare tactics against a vast military machine that's exerting cultural hegemony over even the territory it doesn't control. Lucas has actually been pretty explicit about this being his intention in interviews.

If you're using a framework like lit-html as the author recommends, it will replace the string every update. Most people will prefer that way since it's more ergonomic and similar to React. You could do imperative DOM updates, but that'd be like going back in time to jQuery.

As someone else noted, typically they buy an annuity to pay you out, so risk of non-payment is not a significant factor. The annuity is better for them because they don’t have to carry your payments as a liability.

The annuity is often better for the recipient as well if their jurisdiction taxes the winnings. The recipient could be collecting winnings in their retirement when their income including the annuity would be low.

I am not an insurer, banker, or tax consultant, so don’t take my word for how to proceed should you win such a thing!
I also take issue with the liberal use of the term "lockdown". As far as I can tell, the only thing close to a lockdown was issued for a time in San Francisco. Everyplace else just barred indoor gatherings. You could go outside as much as you pleased. And even businesses were open for takeout or reduced occupancy.
I suppose you think the timing of that was an accident [dramatic pause]

I kind of prefer transliteration over fluency unless it's really clumsy; overly 'helpful' translations that prioritize ease over engagement can lead to incongruities, like characters in a medieval or fantastic setting saying 'OK!' rather than 'certainly' or 'of course'.
SQLite is one of the few file formats that's recommended by the US Library of Congress for archival storage: https://www.loc.gov/preservation/digital/formats/fdd/fdd0004...

The main advantage to doing it at the shim level is I can run multiple wasm containers from a single wasm runtime more easily.

I did look at implementing this at the OCI layer (also really cool that crun does this!) but decided to go another way.

> Now, it seems all transgressive elements have been stripped from the mix and it’s all about “please like me, like my product, I’m desperate for your approval”

It's all a matter of perspective, I don't see this trend as necessarily good or bad. There were some positives to the "underground" and "alternative" aesthetic, like being independent-minded and an emphasis on doing things that were new and original. There were some downsides too, like being jaded about everything, being too cool to show enthusiasm, and ultimately sometimes just blindly conforming to the "alternative" view for the sake of opposing the mainstream view.

Similarly I think there are positives to how I see young people behaving today, the flip-side to the negatives you mentioned. Being genuine and showing emotion is cool again, and, perhaps ironically, since there is less cultural pressure to be "alternative" people are arguably being more honest with themselves by openly seeking approval. We're all humans after all and we all seek approval from others, maybe it's good that there is no longer any stigma around that in the influencer age.
Oh man I forgot about the new 3DS. I think they were going for a “New Super Mario Bros” vibe. But that was atrocious.
> group A wants this data to better understand society in order to save lives

In principle, I agree with the idea of anonymous data used exclusively and apolitically to "understand society" as you say. I just see no evidence that would ever be possible, either to trust that it will be kept anonymous or that whatever conclusion get drawn from it and acted upon will be remotely nonpartisan. It's sad in a sense, but I think the only viable solution is to reject any notion of tracking, no matter how much anyone swears they'll only use it for what they consider good.

That said, I may be missing something but I still think it's less worrisome to hear that private companies are using information that customers didn't actively hide and provided by voluntarily using their product (I still don't like it, but I don't think it should be illegal for a company to say "we're giving you this tracking device", use it and get a discount). Compared with the government, given the whole "monopoly of violence" thing or whatever weaker version you like, and also as the agent of the people, to be using that data, I think is a whole different think. Same as there is a difference between an ISP logging your internet traffic, and one voluntarily giving that information to the government and effectively becoming a government agency.

Anyway, this is going too far astray, and getting too long, you see my point about the distinction
Fair point. But the vast majority of programming tools do already handle UFT8 text (although perhaps don't do a great job with US/RS characters).

also you could write an efficient parser for US/RS separated data in 5 minutes. For parquet you would have to integrate with a library (with all it's dependencies and design choices) or spend days writing your own parser.
Just to be clear - you're writing a "software-based" 3D renderer, right? This is the sort of thing I excelled at back in the late 80s, early 90s, before the first 3D accelerators turned up around 1995 I think.

What features does your renderer support in terms of shading and texturing? Are you writing this all in a high-level language, e.g. C, or assembler? If assembler, what CPUs and features are you targeting?

And of course, why?
They do, they choose not to. That they cannot by some law is a myth. Obama even called them out on it.

Obama also had them author a massive study on all aspects of gun violence, but the results went quite against what the Dems wanted to claim, so it got pretty quiet again.

What happened is they did publish some studies, and one was quite bad (to this day the author will not release the dataset, for example), but was invoked for a lot of policy. Congress chastised them for it, banned them from advocating public policy, but they did not ban the CDC from studies (and they still do studies, very few - if you search you can find them).
And until there is a company who has the license to publish in English, there's a benefit to the Japanese rightsholders - free and extensive market research.

Going off “CDC’s Policy on Distinguishing Public Health Research and Public Health Nonresearch” linked from that page, I would guess this activity they’d call “nonresearch.”
The ongoing and rather poorly executed merger of Funimation and Crunchyroll certainly isn’t helping in my circles. After years of subscribing to Animelab, which merged into Funimation in rather poor fashion, I was abruptly told no new content would be added and that I should sign up for Crunchyroll, never mind that my annual subscription had renewed a month prior. Crunchyroll then announced that annual subscribers would be given credit for their remaining time, but no timeframe was given and after waiting months, I ended up getting a refund last week and am now looking for another company to give my money to. Unfortunately they all seem to be owned by the same group now, with ongoing concerns around quality and conditions for the voice actors working on their content, so for now I have started buying physical media again from the Japanese distributors to at least register my interest in these shows in some way.

Content in Australia has aways been a bit of a mess and I can’t see the market improving, meaning to me the conditions that I believe drive piracy are only set to continue and expand. We really need less exclusivity in the market and more of a competitive landscape for sourcing existing content. I’m happy to deal with a few extra players for original content, but needing 5 different subscriptions to watch all of Stargate, Star Trek, and Star Wars is never going to work for me.
