> On a AAA game, you can afford to hire a couple of medievalists and get these details correct.

The financing of AAA titles is actually rather tight; the fact that AAA titles hardly ever do experiments in gameplay and the fact that in many studios crunch time happens show how tight the financial planning of AAA titles has to be to work out.

There is a great deal of space between 'fixed function pipeline' (which no one is using) and 'all compute all the time' (which pretty much no one is using for real-time graphics either).

> GPUs don't yet have a well-defined memory model

Nvidia has a memory model. (I have heard--from an nvidia employee--that amd plays a bit more fast and loose.)

> GPUs don't have the equivalent of an MMU--so they can't be partitioned or protected. etc.

You do not need an MMU to partition or to protect. (Not to say that GPU security isn't a shitshow.)

> The problem is that switching to a "compute" model and making that work well would commodify the GPU--and that's the last thing that AMD and NVIDIA want.

Does anyone have a good explanation for what Docker+WASM actually is? This announcement explains what WASM is and what Docker is, but I already knew both of those and am still confused about what Docker+WASM is. Is it just wrapping a WASM binary in a Docker container?
I don't know, perhaps because it's not that new. It's very nice to have though.

On the other hand this particular device is meant as a dev kit for making ARM apps (either new ones or porting traditional programs to ARM) - it would be a little bit ironic if x86 compatibility were to be highlighted here.

I decided my last Macbook Pro 15 was my last Macbook, then bought a top of the range DELL running Windows 10, and the fit and finish of both the device and the OS is just not there.

Ended up getting another Macbook, for better or worse
Why not run that go/rust/etc code natively on the machine though? Is there extra sandboxing, network/filesystem virtualization or anything gained by compiling to and running in a WASM environment?
I'm hopeful that the Chromebook edition works out. People who want things to "just work" can run that. By the time Chrome OS support expires, hopefully Linux distros will have pretty polished device support.
And for just that give up all the freedom docker runtimes give us? I don’t want to be forced to use go or rust - maybe I’d like to use bash, node or even the jvm depending on the problem I need to solve.

And I don’t understand why docker is supporting this as docker + wasm makes no sense at all as wasm wants to replace docker as the runtime provider …

Oh I totally agree that we need accessibility laws of some sort otherwise it would be almost entirely ignored, which is a terrible outcome. It is just think that clearly some places have crafted these laws in such a way as to also lead to some pretty terrible outcomes, and I personally think another approach would be better (I know this is very armchair general of me, I'm not an expert, and if people who work in this space think otherwise I'd be happy to listen).

I do think the enlightened self interest is an obvious argument, but I also would like to think that compassion alone would suffice for wanting to improve the quality of life for those who have been given a raw deal.

This is a fantastic rebuttal to those who claim "AWS has way more resources/experience, thus they will be more reliable".
It depends on whom you ask/what your app does.

For serverless usecases, cloudflare etc.. found that it would be faster to just call a function from a wasm binary than spin up a whole docker container [1]. Which basically translated to cost savings.

In the last company I worked for [2], we saw wasm as a way to easily ship user code in a cross platform way. We mostly targeted edge-ml use cases. Wasm allowed us to package all the "libraries"/functions needed to run the user code securely. So users created and tested out their ML apps in browser and deployed them to all the platforms we supported. (Mobile, Browser, Embedded). As an added bonus they could write each of their functions in any language that compiled to wasm, and just ship it as one "app".

Companies want commitment but typically (IME) aren't much interested in reciprocating that commitment, either directly as in valuing you, or indirectly as in giving a damn about managing you properly so you can do your job. So I don't care any more.
I don't use Safari, Mail, Photos, iCloud or Spotlight (except to start apps - I deselect all the other options), and only activate the sidebar/widgets on accident (out of sight, out of mind).

And on the same subject, quoting the tvtropes article linked above:

> Ironically, in a major sense-of-humour failure, Monty Python founder Eric Idle threatened to sue an independent film-maker who used the "that's not a horse - you're using coconuts!" gag, claiming he had originated it for Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Saner counsel prevailed, when it was pointed out to him exactly how old the gag was, and that (for instance) a radio comedy show Idle himself had written for had used this gag way back in the 1960's - ten years before the Holy Grail movie. And the BBC radio comedy archives preserved older examples still...
> "The company" can't appreciate anything: it's just a corporate structure.

Does the company regularly¹ adjust worker wages to account for inflation and employee growth? (I.e., a two-year tenure employee should be worth more than a 0-year employee simply because they know how stuff in the company functions. I.e., they don't need to be trained!) That, in rough English, is "appreciating" it. Yes, normally, there's some lip service the company will give, but actual rewards in the form of compensation is the real "appreciation".

But a surprising number of employers, AFAICT, don't do that. Shockingly, SWEs tend to jump ship a bit after 2 years of not getting anywhere. (And write their own salary adjustments on the jump.) It's incredibly detrimental to continually hemorrage that experience, but I feel like places I've been at don't get it for two reasons: management is too disconnected to know it, and it's all they've ever known, so they don't know how bad it is, as they've no relative basis to judge. Dunning–Kruger, essentially.

A 95% false positive rate is extremely high, and the cost, both in terms of the emotional health of those involved, as well as the strain on resources for a chronically underfunded public service, is far from zero.

Estimates are that around 16% of children are abused, so if you're only finding 5% it means you're substantially worse at choosing households to investigate than if you were picking at random. Of course that's a national average and some places may be better or worse, but really all that indicates is that resources are being diverted to the wrong areas. Every hour of time and every dollar spent investigating households without good reason is stolen from a victim who truly needed it.

Obviously not every investigation needs to find abuse to be justified, the whole point of the investigation is we don't know if something is wrong or not. But just because there is an occasional success does not mean that the current system is working, nonetheless optimal.

These days it usually refers to games that have permadeath + procedurally generated levels, so every time you die you start the whole game over (but an entire 'run' isn't very long, less than two hours definitely, often less than one). Sometimes there's "meta progression" that does actually persist some unlocks or upgrades in between runs.

Originally rogue likes were that, but specifically in the gameplay genre of turn-based dungeon crawling RPG's. These days they can be in other genres: twin stick shooters, card games, action platformers, etc.
> it reminds me of the kind of negativity I received on my blog when I said...

Cherry picking examples of your past predictions that may have turned out to be correct as a way of defending something in question today is obviously fallacious - hopefully I don't have to explain why that proves absolutely nothing.

Trust isn't necessary when something is actually useful. Explain how the technology is actually useful rather than demeaning the supposed lack of knowledge in others.

Sarcastically appealing to your own authority while claiming your critics just don't understand is another bad faith rhetorical tactic that is often used by cryptocurrency enthusiasts.

I read the paper, understood it, and responded with a clear critique to you in a different comment, your response was "Couldn't disagree more. I'm not going to argue about it here though". So what I'm getting from you is "I'm a tech expert, if you disagree you don't understand, I also don't have to prove anything or defend my position, just trust me". Sounds like the typical cryptocurrency grift...

Still possible to learn from other people's errors. Also I think these kinds of messes always have the same history. Lots of time pressure, technical debt was ignored... On the upside when being a bit more senior it's much more likely management actually listens to requests to keep technical debt in check

The good part of changing jobs is you get to see actually a lot of bad and good stuff, often even at the same project.

> What? There is no BIOS on a UEFI system.

This is... true, but only as an issue of semantics. There are absolutely duplicated framebuffer and storage drivers in the firmware of modern PCs (and probably TPM & CSME too, though that's not my world) (Edit: also USB and PS/2 input device handling). Those BIOS (yes, "BIOS" -- that's what the people who write it call it) splash screens aren't using UEFI, nor is the initial boot device selection in most cases I'm aware of.

UEFI seems clean (well, cleanER) only when viewed from downstream.
