It matters because gambling specifically is regulated differently than general behaviors that might be addictive. There are more bars in the world than casinos. As I already outlined arcades specifically exist in their current form because they were re-classified as containing games of skill, not chance.

The difference matters a lot to someone who owns a bar or arcade or frequents one.

Further, conflating the meaning of words in general is just not a useful approach to learning or building consensus. Words have meaning. By respecting the meaning of words we can convey complex ideas with simple language.

Saying alcoholics are basically gamblers because "what's the difference" is about as useful (read: not) as arguing that FAANG should be broken up because "monopoly". The words matter and when you use the wrong ones the merit of your argument can be easily dismissed on the semantics. It's just not persuasive.
In my experience the place wasm really shines is in implementing custom data structures.

A wasm b-tree, skip list, rope, etc seems to outperform the equivalent javascript code by many times.

Edit: I just whipped up a real benchmark to test this, replaying some text editing traces[1].

Replaying the automerge-perf editing trace in javascript naively takes 610ms. Using a javascript based skip list it takes 77ms[2]. In native rust, with a rust port of the same skip list code I can process the same editing trace in 6ms[3]. Or 20ms when that rust code is compiled to wasm.

So in this case, we're seeing about a 4x performance improvement using wasm, or 13x performance improvement using native code.

You make a number interesting points. FWIW I've been a printmaker for many years and know many artists "successful" and not.

Museums acquire work through purchase and donation, the ratio varies among museums and divisions within a museum. Several years ago a collector donated several thousand pieces to the major museum in my region. Fortunately a few of my pieces were included and are now part of the museum's "permanent collection".

Obviously museums prefer donations but only if the museum gets the kind of work they're seeking. It's a lot like academia, very competitive among curators to have the "right" high-valued work in the museum's possession.

And it's true that an artist's success is largely a marketing game. Artists who are good self-promoters will do the best. Those who aren't typically remain obscure. Of course success doesn't necessarily indicate artistic merit. That's often not decided until much later, like 50 or 100 years down the road.

Conservation of work is a complex subject. Oil-based paint was the only real option from the 1400's until ~1960. Oil paint dries by polymerization of fatty acids, problem is it doesn't know when to quit.[0] A paint film continues to harden, eventually the film integrity fails and the paint flakes off the substrate (canvas, etc.). Oil paintings are very likely to require restoration after 100 years if not sooner.

Worth noting: unlike works on paper, oil paintings are less affected by light exposure. That's why museums often display paintings in brighter areas (200 lux) vs. drawings, prints, photos being exhibited in dimly lit galleries (50 lux).

Interestingly many great artists were lousy technicians. Da Vinci is said to have experimented with various additives to paint which affected stability. Fascinating subjects indeed, and certainly contribute to keeping conservators employed.

2x4 walls are allowed at all? That surprises me, up in the north they haven't been legal for decades now. Well it is more you can't meet the rvalue with them, but still even cheap houses don't get them
Both month (full cycle) and weeks (quarter cycle) are related to the lunar cycle (“month” is also closely etymologically related to “moon”). But months in the Roman calendar (impacting derivatives of that calendar) got lengthened a bit to fit an arbitrary preference for ratio to the solar cycle with days further moved between them for a variety of reasons, while weeks stayed the same.
That difference is what I'd be interested in anyway as a developer who focuses on PWAs (where the cost of chrome is paid for already). I'm trying to work out whether a WASM stack would help runtime performance, memory usage, and startup time, but based on these numbers it doesn't look so inspiring.

Short answer: ease of use. Setting up shared folders cross-platform is non-trivial for the average person.

The long answer is that transfers and shared storage are fundamentally different use-cases (imo). Shared storage usually means you grant and revoke access to a subdir (ACLs), which are (1) often overly permissive and (2) exposes a file structure that isn't necessary for the other side.

Transfers OTOH is an ephemeral action where sender picks files from their file system, receiver decides the destination directory (so file systems are not exposed in either direction).

That said, if you are looking for shared storage, check out https://www.spacedrive.com/. It's also built with Tauri.
If by "massive" you mean 0.75%. (I mean, the markets may consider that massive. But I suspect most readers of the headline don't.)
Why do we have to tolerate Twitter? It's a poor concept of a website that only encourages short opinions that can't be elaborated on. If I want to know what other people are up to I can always check their LinkedIn or the website of a company. I just don't understand what I will gain from "learning how to use" a feed of people tweeting into the void for attention. Sorry if I seem shortsighted.
I've been running BIND since 1995. Most configurations are very similar. A zone is either primary / master or secondary / slave. You copy and paste from a previous config entry, change a zone name, maybe add an extra secondary name server now and then.
The piece should credit Computerworld's 1 April 1991 issue, as the FSF do:

I think this is a classic philosophical problem. Unless you are a philosopher, though, I don't think it really matters all that much. The bottom line is that you are making a sacrifice for someone else, and that you aren't involving other people in it.

Doing good for others should feel good! And if that internal reaction helps us want to continue doing good for others, then that's also a good thing.

I think also we should be less concerned about labeling ourselves this way. I would not try to make "altruist" a part of my identity (or "egoist", for that matter). You are just someone who does good things for others, and -- incidentally -- that makes you feel good. That should be enough.

No, democracy is just a buzzword. Its _political_ incentive. Just look at southern border. You can go to Mexico, pay some shady smuggler gangs decent sum of money and you can enter in US in no time. Same goes to those “humanitarian boat” arriving from Libya to Greece for EU.

At this point, illegal immigration is much easier than legal ways.

Keeping your secondary name server(s) in sync is necessary if you want things to work reliably. Zone transfers are necessary. File formats are not.

An admin won't just install it. Any software installed on a system connected to the corporate network is a security risk and would need to be vetted.

This takes weeks and can often take months. If the choice is between writing the business case, getting management sign off and waiting weeks for deployment vs running it immediately in the browser, I'm choosing the browser.
It does, or ignorant at the least. All the auto manufacturers use clay, not just for Italian sportscars.

Automotive technical surfacing in CAD is stupid hard, and is a waste of time for the design staff. The clay models are easier to work with in every sense - easier to change, easier to refine, easier to show and discuss, etc. Designers can apply reflective film to the clay which shows reflections much as the finished product would, and can even be painted. The final surfaces are reverse-engineered from scans taken from those clay models.
An attacker can already do this, at scale. Whether it be overriding traffic lights to show green in all directions, or taking down critical air traffic control systems.

It’s like arguing that we can’t possibly build autonomous cars because then someone might turn it into an autonomous bomb.

Keep in mind that solving this is “worth” about 40,000 lives a year in the US - nearly $1 trillion in economic damages a year in life and property.

Bad things can always be done with good tools. As always, you provide layers of protection that make sense and in the end must rely on the underlying fabric of civilization to persevere.
That's not "full scale war"... yet. If Russia's emergency Duma meeting tomorrow is to institute a full mobilization, though, we'll be a lot closer...
It’s weird that “safety” in America always comes back to violent crime.

There’s hospital quality, time spent in private automobiles (one of the most dangerous things Americans do), risk of natural disaster, etc etc.

I think it’s very reflective of an anti-urban bias

Erlang has had hotloading for a long time and seems to be fine security wise AFAIK.
Objective-C used to support reloading but now explicitly does not (dlclose() doesn't do anything) because it's unsafe.

Xcode used to have these features (called Zero Link and fix and continue) but they were quickly removed because nobody used them.
Yeah, that's fine. On the other hand, giving discounts for Linux just because you make a buttload of money from a certain database...

The way to make PT work is for it to be faster than cars. People should choose it because it’s faster/cheaper/more convenient, not because they have no alternative.

You’ll find this is typically the case in large cities that prioritise it appropriately - Between spending an hour in a car or on a train I’d choose the train every time.
Performance is important, but the point of WebAsm was to have an asm for other languages to compile to in the first place, so we could finally stop making embarrassing utterances like “JavaScript is the assembly language of the Web.”
>If we start building roads (and cars) to be highly visible to AI one way or another, it all becomes much easier.

Or we could build 1-dimensional roads, which would make the AI's jobs much easier. Like, we could put down two parallel piece of metal, which vehicles could "hook" onto somehow...
I had the same trouble as you. I think the problem is that I’ve only ever seen “gunning for”, specifically. For example, I’ve never seen “gun for” as in “Man, that’s one determined team! I bet they gun for nothing less than the win!” — I would expect that to be phrased “… are gunning for nothing less …”.
I can think of two major things which make me feel good about the future -

1) Medicine continues to do amazing things. I'm kinda amazed at how quickly everyone forgot about how awesome the mRNA vaccines are. Even if they didn't completely stop Covid, the tech is brimming with potential; now we just need to iterate on the social systems to strike the balance between speed and safety, and the incentives are pointing in the right direction. Even before the mRNA stuff, think of monoclonal antibodies, which are effectively treating all kinds of horrible diseases like autoimmunity. And for even one more example, the relatively recent discovery that stomach ulcers could be treat with antibiotics. We keep making huge strides in eliminating pretty useless suffering.

2) I see signs of self-correction in some of the social pathologies caused by the internet and social media, even if it's sometimes unintentional and even crass. For example, I think doomscrolling is a horrifying mental pathology, but now there's the pithy internet phrase "go outside and touch grass". While this is insulting in the usual blunt internet-ey way, it actually seems like good and appropriate advice :p

As a kind of corollary to this, I can't put my finger on it precisely, but I feel like there's a younger generation coming up which is strangely really wholesome and less crass and cynical than the last several cohorts. It makes me wonder if perhaps they're somehow inoculated against the worst of the generally negative internet attitude, having completely grown up with it. I could just be imagining it, of course.
By default it more or less has everything besides ublock (which is why I haven't switched yet either.)
On the contrary, resignation is a perfectly healthy mental strategy to cope with things that are out of your control.
There's been absolutely no change for most employees after the acquisition.
Step 1: port Doom to WASM (in a way which preserves the exploit or an equivalent mechanism)

Step 2: implement a WASM runtime for DOS and pack it up as a payload for this exploit

Step 3: boot the DOS Doom

Step 4: boot the WASM Doom in the DOS Doom

Step 5: boot another WASM Doom in the most recently-booted WASM Doom

Step 6: GOTO Step 5

Step 7: ???

Step 8: profit
Pessimistic people!

We live in an age of wonders - our most recent achievement alone would have been unbelievable just 5 years ago: a vaccine technology that can have a turnover counted in days. We're now talking about using it to develop vaccines against new things like EBV!

Yet many people, mostly in Europe (but sadly now in the US costs too), seem to always believe the sky is falling - moving from one explanation to another as needed: if it's not Covid, then it's monkeypox - or a war. Or the price natural gas.

From my American perspective, they sure love complaining, but don't seem to like very much finding solutions (ex: spending money on an Army to protect them instead of depending on our generosity, using the same fracking technology that has provided us so much oil & gas that it's simpler to let the methane flares burn...)

Noticing how common that attitude is - so much that is now has name ("doomerism") and a motto ("the world is burning in front of our eyes") makes me very pessimistic about the future.
There was a great thread on HH about names and falsehoods programmers believe.

You should have that flexibility. There should be enough housing stock that you can move to another city and not have to worry about struggling to find a place, arranging visits for them to be cancelled or leased before you can even view it. There are parts of the world where government rental housing schemes are extremely successful, it also typically caters for those that would be left with nothing if we didn't intervene with the market. Yes there are laws against discrimination, that landlord was overruled in high court. That does not stop it from happening, in many different forms - there is never ending prejudice and difficulty simply getting a home for young people, disabled, minority backgrounds, immigrants, welfare recipients. The landlords have all the power when it comes to deciding who they allow to rent, they do not have any obligation to tell you why you were refused. Even though the court says it's illegal for him not to rent to certain races, what is stopping him?

We live in a world where it is entirely feasible for every person to have good quality shelter, clean water, food and energy. For the most part, we allow market forces to control the access to goods and services. Wealth is being concentrated, property along with other vital services, are just another asset in the portfolio. It's missing humanity. We need homes, healthcare, water, food.. I think it's about time we prioritise this vs high profit, monetary gain, corporate excess and 'free markets' (they're never really free, always tipped in favour of the owners of capital).
It's incredible that tax dollars go to funding the publication of this kind of material with a government seal of approval on it! Certainly much of history is a matter of interpretation, certain historical works are more trustworthy than others, and of course there are disagreements. But what I take as the thesis is essentially that truth about the past is not really something we can know.

Take this statement from the article:

"The results have been profound. Historians now take it for granted that it’s impossible to understand any part of the past without taking into account the realities of all, and all kinds of, people."

No source cited, no names listed. A "fact" floating freely in midair. Pure propaganda.
Well, if we're talking about the median person on a global scale, no one can afford any car, so the subject is moot.
Yeah, though I would say human readable bytecode, and it is interesting to see that in the actual context. For anyone who's interested, there's a git repository containing a historical reconstruction of the original BSDs.

I believe one of the first BSD versions containing sendmail (by Eric Allman) is this one: https://github.com/weiss/original-bsd/blob/bd282c88c1b3c2575... (almost 40 years ago!)

Its a little hard to read due to the format, but here's some explanation of the (1983, earliest?) config file that was used back then: https://github.com/weiss/original-bsd/blob/bd282c88c1b3c2575...

From what I grasp, it started as an extensive dynamic parser that needed to understand a lot of rules, and I guess with each new RFC and version, the rules needed to be extended too. And the config file could be loaded into a memory image to improve performance.
Thanks, learned something new today with return-from! I’d be curious how different cl implementations implement it.

The first few examples are what I was more familiar with, and it is precisely your note “and this /progn/ form would possibly be extracted to a new function if it was too long” which makes me want to just return early in some cases. Sometimes a case is common enough that it warrants a separate function, but having to define functions for incredibly specific cases just to avoid excessive indentation is not ideal for me.
Actually, the article is specifically about a potential full percentage point (100bp) bump—the same as Canada just did—not a 75bp bump.

If you read the first edition of his book[1], it's pretty clear about what he was trying for, which IIRC was essentially resumable software components as black boxes that you could buy off the shelf and integrate in your own products.

I find this quote interesting:

> But in addition, “I had just become incredibly annoyed with proprietary languages,” he said. Fortran vendors, for instance, would add extra features to try to lock customers into their particular version.

But this is exactly what he did with Objective-C -- it was a proprietary language until NeXT bought his company! It could have had widespread adoption had there been a widely available implementation.

If you look at a frequency list of Chinese characters,[0] the top 4800 characters make up about 99.9% of modern texts.

That means that if you know 4800 characters, and you read a text that is 1000 characters (equivalent to around 700 words) long, there's likely one character you won't recognize.

The funny thing is, if you recognize only the top six characters, you already know 10% of the characters in a typical text. The distribution is very top-heavy, but with a long tail that you do have to learn to become literate.

I am optimistic about the future especially the US. We have finally abolished Roe and now states can end the barbaric, dehumanizing, and satanic practice of murdering our own children out of our own selfishness. In 50-100 years, people will look back on abortion the same way we look back at slavery. We will never know the inventions and discoveries that we have lost with the millions and millions of murdered babies over the past 50 years.

People are pushing back on academic and progressive sponsored child abuse coming from transgender propaganda and bullying.

Holy, while in Toronto I set the thermostat to 68 and complain if I see it cross into the 70s. Thanks to the wind tunnel I'm in, I'm able to turn off the AC every 2-3 days for 1-2 days. Conventional wisdom tells me this is more costly than just keep the AC running all the time at a stable temperature, but, I don't really care about the cost saving over personal preference.
Does the microphone pick up both you, and the remote speakers? If so, how are you differentiating?
