There are lots of languages with wasm compilers now and not all of them are commonly used for web development. For example, C / C++ is not really used for web development. It's used for a lot of servers of course. But deploying native code to run on a web server is risky. With this you could sandbox it. Likewise with Go or Rust. Both of those are used for web development of course so maybe not the most logical choice to deploy that in Apache.

However, the number of languages that support wasm is growing rapidly and this is a language neutral solution that should work for all of them.

One advantage wasm and wasmtime have over containers and vms is that it's a very low latency thing to fire up. It's very fast. That's why it's so popular for edge computing as well. And it also makes it very suitable for use in an apache module. I guess you could do an Apache module that fires up a docker container to execute some code but that sounds like it would have a bit of overhead. It would not surprise me if somebody already built something like that.

Anyway, this gives people more places to run wasm code. Not a bad thing. This might actually become a nice way to implement some way of implementing some kind of self hosted "serverless" type thing to run lambda functions in the form of wasm blobs. Just one of many things you could do with this.
Also comes in spray form. It's particularly useful for superficial but large scratches you want to protect if you want to go swimming because it creates a waterproof skin layer (I used it during a beach holiday a few years ago and it totally saved my holiday).

Oh wait, what? Considering I'm using an X230 (and have many of them), which has an ExpressCard slot, this sounds very intriguing indeed. Well, other than the Bluetooth part, but the "mouse in a PC card" sounds awesome! Thanks for mentioning it -- now off to investigate! haha

Commutes can be terrible but they do serve an important role in decompressing and separating spaces in our brains through a repeated ritual.
I think you need to look at the WASM documentation for specific languages rather than generic wasm. For example Rust has decent documentation for this. The tools and instructions are going to be language specific.
"Harm"? Not really. But this guy is not much different from a millionaire pretending to be homeless and bumming quarters at the train station. Might he find it an interesting experience? Sure. But it's fundamentally just a form of "class vacation" as rich people often do.

Because the different outcomes of those groups is popularly used as a reason that there must be racism causing it which leads to division, hate, and further racist government actions as people imagine that that racism must be very serious to cause such serious effects. But it might actually not be very significant if the cause is something else. And such efforts won't even help the people who are suffering from poverty either. It would be OK if this was a niche opinion but it's incredibly widespread and actually has real world consequences.
Hope it takes off and show us some numbers.

It sounds as if you’ve had to maintain a bad codebase in Python. I don’t think any language will save you from that. OCaml (a contender for my favorite language) certainly won’t. My comment is about what the language does for me when I write my own code.

ya it's like a 1-lane pcie 1.1 m.2 "cartridge" basically. Expresscard 2 gets you 1 lane of pcie 2.0.

you can even use them to attach eGPUs... see the EXP GDC Beast lineup. Put a 6900XT on your vintage thinkpad laptop (there was recently a video of this with a desktop...)

You can also play around with the M.2 slots on your desktop... those can be adapted to a pcie slot with a riser cable/PCB. Or I think there's little risers that use SAS to push it (needs a controller chip). Most PCIe is pretty fungible without much active conversion between the various physical formats, PCIe slots and OCP and m.2 and expresscard and oculink etc all are protocol-compatible and for some of them it's literally as simple as a PCB with some traces (like M.2 to PCIe and OCP to PCIe).

Compared to USB and some of the other standards it's a massive success story imo.
So many false stereotypes.. this was an amusing read but it is utter rubbish.
I'll walk back on the five years FAANG claim as I was venting a bit. But let's say you earn $200K (you'd start with less but end up with more at the 5 year mark), $135-165K take home, $105K if you save 70% of your salary. If we count compound interest, investments, stocks, healthcare savings due to generous SWE contracts, you could definitely achieve freedom if you wanted to with the 4% rule. It would require abandoning some luxury, but even on 30% of your take home salary you would have a decent lifestyle, more than most make total. And then you'd be in a position to do what you want, be as healthy as you need to be, no longer a need to buy things to make you forget about your servitude. You could travel on the cheap with longer flights because you would have time to do so.

Let's say I'm wrong, and it's more like 15-18 years. Well, that's still much much much better than what most people get. You can have decades of your life back. How much of your freedom are toys and consumption worth?
I build a zfs based NAS last year[1], after 10 months of usage, I have nothing but positive things to say. One thing I didn't understand conceptually at first is that ZFS is standalone and not dependent on the host OS. This was not clear to me and it is not explained anywhere. You can wipe out the entire OS, move the drives to a new system, mount them on a new OS and run `zpool import` to import them. All the information (raid config, snapshots, etc) about ZFS is stored on the pool itself and not on the host OS, especially if you have an alias setup for invidivual drives in `/etc/zfs/vdev_id.conf`.

There is no need for FreeNAS or any of that stuff, I don't use all those features. Just run like 3 commands to create a zpool, install samba service and that's all I need from a NAS. Cron job to run a scrub every month.

If ZFS file system made a sound, it'd make a satisfying and reassuring "CLUNK!" sound.

I experienced the complete opposite. I worked with senior system administrators, who worked on a newbie level.

One extreme example, when using "git"[1], which went straight to the first place of my hall of shame[1]:

$ git commit --all --message="$(curl 'http://api.icndb.com/jokes/random')"

Yes, can you feel it? The awesomeness of backtracking issues?

And a few sayings, which I came up with[2] immeadiately after seeing this kind of crap:

* Using your ten-year-experience as your only argument is invalid. It is indeed possible to do things in a wrong way for ten years.

* The faster you climb up the career ladder, the more incompetent you will get, due to the lack of skill.

I hated working with them, because they knew everything better than me. I was "just a junior" to that time.

Oh well, I am glad, that I am not working with them anymore, otherwise I would become headless zombie administrators like them, who like to work quick and dirty all the time without having a thought about refactoring something.

Another saying; this time from Miyamoto Musashi[3], which I align and agree to:

* There is nothing outside of yourself that can ever enable you to get better, stronger, richer, quicker or smarter. Everything is within. Everything exists. Seek nothing outside yourself.

Interesting thought. Do you have any example or a blog post how you do it? How do you write down a MIMO? Wouldn't it require too many global variables?
Basically it's business accounts for doctor offices to arrange transportation for their patients. Many elderly patients have trouble getting to doctor appointments because they don't have smartphones, can't drive, live in areas w/ poor public transit/taxi coverage, etc.

Wrong. It can't be reliably handled by machines. If you can figure out how to do it then you can make a fortune.

Addressing gaps and errors in a patient chart is a highly complex task. Low skilled workers don't even know what to look for, or what questions to ask. A lot of this is tacit knowledge which we don't know how to reduce to software.
OBS Studio is supposed to do streaming from a PC's webcam in Windows or Linux, somewhat similar to how an actual netcam streams but the netcam doesn't need a PC & software to do the streaming.

With a netcam the PC is only needed to set up the netcam, then the netcam streams by itself, connected directly to your network, the PC can then be turned off.

Either way you would be opening a port on your firewalls/routers to match the one you select for your camserver-PC (or netcam), for viewers to access the cam at yourIPaddress:port by using a media player like VLC or even the old Windows Media Player, which accepts a specific port for streaming media from a numerical or named IP address.

Basically you use the "port forwarding" features of your router to allow the internet WAN to connect to your private LAN through that one specific port only, where the camera stream is present. This is considered a "pinhole" in your firewall.

The viewing user does need to use a media player that has the proper codecs installed to play the format that your particular cam is sending. With encoding software like OBS you can choose to stream other formats besides the native cam output if you want.
> How did IBM and Apple take over and Xerox end up as a has-been also ran?

They were too far ahead of their time. The component costs needed to come down first.

In 1981, the "starter kit" for their office system consisted of one Xerox Star for a user, a second Star to act as a file and print server, and a laser printer for about a quarter of a million dollars in today's money.

Each additional networked Star that you added was about $50,000 in today's money.

Even at those prices, the system wasn't exactly snappy. I do wonder what would have happened if they had kept iterating on the product until faster, cheaper components arrived.

Yeah it worked like that. Saying "guards" would instantly summon the guards if any criminal was present and subsequently murder the criminal(s). Nothing about incorrect summoning though.

Most people had a macro invoking "guards" "bank" abd "vendor buy" all at the same time. The interface was mud like and the first (?) command in a statement that was valid would execute.
It sounds like it could be the guards, inside the cities, of UO.
Humor me. What would “prepared” have looked like, in your opinion? I am legitimately curious what, functionally, would have been different had we had decades of impeccable political decisions?
What are you talking about? It has statistical predictive ability when used on groups of people. Of course it can be very inaccurate for an individual but the reality of being able to make testable predictions makes it pretty hard to throw out, except for ideologically motivated people who don't like what it reveals.
Would be great to be able to paste my code on a theme and see if it's good.
I'm sure they assumed it would be eliminated before anyone noticed
Thunderbolt has basically replaced this use case, but some folks have done interesting things with ExpressCard. My favorite is the folks who have managed to successfully run eGPUs on 17-inch MacBook Pros via the slot. (The 17-inch MBPs have not been sold since 2011.)

>>The actual human connection features of Facebook turned out to be a novelty<<

I don't agree. FB play(ed) an important role for me: helping me keep my extended family across the goings on in my child's life (they all live elsewhere). It was quite good at making grandparents/aunts/uncles feel connected etc.

But that utility is largely buried beneath a growing list of 'features' with little appeal - I don't need prompts to add people I know. I don't need yet another marketplace. I don't need short-form videos from complete strangers.

Today, 80%+ of my newsfeed feels like irrelevant content - and that's what's killing FB.
> UO economies themselves being matter of study

More than that, in regard to MMOs in general: both Cory Doctorow and Neil Stephenson wrote books involving exchange of money in MMOs, remarking that bringing a bag of gold to another dude in the game is an actual method of transferring money cross-border without oversight, used by mobs. I vaguely heard (and again mentioned by Doctorow) that the size of economy of larger games like WoW can dwarf not-so-small countries.
> Can you imagine doing this with Java or C# and still keeping the memory usage and speed reasonable, even in 2022?

It's all about programmer skill. You can write bloated C++ just as easily as bloated C# and bloated Java.

Wow, this person confabulated $100k of merit to themselves. If that's not self-love, I don't know what is.
Yeah there is a lag on feature updates, but I haven't had any issues with it personally.
When I was in college, in the 80s, some professors and courses had campus-wide reputations for difficulty. Of one the student course review said "if you take Professor X you'll learn more from your B- than you will from any other class you take".

It turned out that these were generally the most interesting and rewarding courses, and these professors the ones most concerned about their students learning. They were pretty well attended. Everyone knew from Day One what they were in for, and everyone did the work. Those that didn't want to do that work found other courses.
Just my anecdata, but I have had two friends do work through Uber. Both had lost their jobs suddenly but thankfully had a second income through a spouse. The draw in both cases was cash in pocket now while they find something else. It was easy enough since they could almost set their schedule and they weren't looking for benefits, climbing a ladder, or becoming a premier uber driver. External/long term costs were not even a thought, even when they knew better.
Completely unrelated, but useful: POSIX kill (or kill()) with signal 0 is a portable way to check if a process controllable by the current user is alive.

> When copying files to the SSD, the temperature sensor reported a maximum of 60°C. Additional read operations in the form of an ZFS scrub hit 63°C, which was the maximum I observed during my quick testing.

Dunno at what temperature the drive starts throttling itself, but I'd think a good idea would be to drop a dab of heatsink goop (and possibly some metal coins/washers held in place if it's a big gap) between the important bits of the SSD and the casing. It'll conduct heat out much better without the air interface.

I can't tell if the SSD maker put a sticker on there, or a heat spreader.

He gleefully recounts how he now saw takeout food in terms of the manual labor he had to do, but sees it as a fun life lesson as opposed to the crushing realization that your life-force is seeping away with every bill. The poverty tourism is what I find sick. He can, and did quit the experience as soon as he was tired with it.

TrueNAS ensures that different versions of different software fit together. So you update your OS, and your setup doesn’t break.

The common tasks are made easy: snapshot scheduling, snapshot replication, Samba share with a few clicks, backup to cloud, users management, one click install of applications, SMART tests, etc. Config management can be a headache.
Good writeup, and lots of detail.

But my immediate conclusion isn't "Signals are dangerous and let's go deep on the complexity thereof". Instead, my primary conclusion really is "Someone forgot to write a testcase to make sure log rotation behavior is covered, so of course it might regress".
