This article predates XHTML, and was almost certainly not informed by the then-current work on RDF/Dublin Core. At the time, terminal screen-scraping was ... not an uncommon method of data interchange between systems (hence the context of 3270 terminals); using BMS maps was an improvement over the naive approach, basically letting you hook into the screen formatter. The article's point is that these approaches were legacy baggage, and the attempt to "modernize" BMS maps by letting them output HTML in addition to green-screen was doomed to fail. Instead, Duquaine advocates where we landed, with SOAP (and successor) services making data available instead of forcing integrations to go through human-readable display functions. (It's probably worth noting that this is what he focused on at Sybase, specifically his work on their RPC gateway that hooked into legacy mainframe transports such as CICS.)
I watched a talk by GabeN years ago, where he explained his business philosophy (which also had to do with his exit from Microsoft). It was strikingly simple: treat your customers well. Supporting Linux is treating his customers well (even if the majority of customers don't understand that... yet).
> Is this just basic nostalgia, people wanting to recreate the dial-up days or even BBS days?

That's certainly not why I created my search engine. Old isn't an end, its a means to cut the bullshit.

Like I read a lot of old books, not because I'm nostalgic for yellowed paper, but because they consistently have much better signal to noise ratio than most of what you'll find on a screen or printed past 1990 or so. (When people bought books in physical book stores and weren't primarily ordering books online, books weren't judged by their page count as a proxy for how much content they contained, and thus had a lot less filler and anecdotes.)

If you gave me a method of selection that was as reliable for identifying good books among contemporary books, I'd probably read more contemporary books as a result.
Yeah, music and other such automated recommendations are truly infuriating - I like to imagine it is an attempt to tweak people instead of helping them. This belief is reinforced when often these recommendations don't come with a 'never recommend again' or 'stop recommending altogether, please' option. I am grateful though that such 'helpful' behavior is often successful in helping me get off the service in question and not use it again.

Firefox uses this approach to create a lightweight, in-process sandbox (called "RLBox") for some third-party libraries. The library is compiled from C/C++ to wasm and then wasm is transpiled back to C++, all at Firefox compile time so no wasm compilation is needed at Firefox run time.

My problem with lots of these experiences is that they're still boilerplate (whether verbose or not) and require me to apply a conditional that the computer should tell me about.

For example, quitting a game: "Are you sure (Y/N)? (Unsaved progress may be lost)"

Don't tell me that. Tell me whether unsaved progress will be lost and what it consists of.

Likewise, when I'm typing a description in JIRA and want to follow a link "Are you sure you want to navigate away (Y/N)? (Unsaved changes may be lost)"

Wait--do I have unsaved changes? If so, what are they? That's what I should be basing my decision on--what specifically will happen if I click Yea or Nay? Not a general exhortation to be careful because waves hands something bad might happen: YOU get to figure out if it will or not!
I came to the same conclusion, however, here’s how I handle that:

I carry around a folder with just a bunch of printer paper, and some index cards in it. I write my todo lists on an index card because it’s intentionally small so I can’t overload it, and it feels good to cross out the last thing and just throw it away.

I take notes through the day on the printer paper, and then I review them frequently and type up what I want to preserve in Notion (recently switched from WorkFlowy, as much as I love outlines, I need free form writing options too).

Anything I don’t type up, I just throw away.

If you want to see the folly of RK4, give it something like a ball bouncing and watch as it bounces slightly higher each time. Subtle at first, but trust me its there. The comment above you is right. If you have conservation of energy and want to keep it that way, use verlet.

Edit: before anyone calls me out on this, the same trick also works when there's no discontinuity in the force function vis a vis collision with the floor. Planetary motion also drifts out of simple orbits. I just picked the ball bouncing because its a more amusing visual.
I was surprised to recently learn that embedded isn't on Jai's roadmap. I respect the decision re scope and feature-creep. It was surprising, given that usually languages with the performance, and low-level capabilities of C are also suited for embedded. Ie: The overlap with existing languages is almost 100% when you look at A: Languages that are fast/LL. B: Languages that are suitable for embedded. (The usual suspects of C, C++, Rust, Zig, and ADA)
I feel like I can get a glimpse of how these people can pull it out. I have done stuff. Cool stuff, even. My brain has had moments where it didn't shout why all the time. What really wonder me is how they can be _consistent_ at it. How can they pull it off everyday for a long time? I'm crashing every week. Sometimes I can hold this glimpse for a couple of months, but if there is something certain in my life is that it'll crash at some point. And it will be painful.
In personal use Chrome and Firefox are both pretty stable for me. But I also write and maintain intranet web sites, and the fleet of devices that use them. In that fleet without a doubt Chrome's auto updates have broken more things more regularly than Firefox. Actually, I can't recall Mozilla releasing a version of Firefox stable with a bug that effected us. Chrome has had many buggy releases that has sent us scrambling.

I've also never seen the memory issues described here. But then I don't leave a lot of tabs open: it's rare my tabs don't fit in the title bar. I think that pattern is true for most people: almost all our fleet had very few tabs open. So perhaps the fix, while welcome, doesn't effect most people.
There is a widely accepted and straightforward thinking that humans has ideas, which are expressed in languages, and that languages being ambiguous is problematic: this I'm starting to have doubts on.

Maybe we don't have clear intentions in the first place, maybe languages are not just ambiguous, but only meant to narrow realms of valid interpretations down to a desired precision, rather than intended to form a logically fully constrained statements. Maybe this is why intelligent entities are needed to "correctly" interpret natural language statements, because an act of interpretation itself is a decision making and an action.

Just my thoughts but I do think there are more to be said than "natural languages are ambiguous".

Last.fm died (as in for me personally) when I stopped cultivating my own music library. I used to have gigabytes of MP3s and FLACs, all neatly organised into folders, usually by artist/album, and meticulously maintained ID3 tags. All played through software like Winamp with the audioscrobbler plugin, or iTunes when I had my beloved iPod classic.

All of that drifted away as I got older, and the dawn of streaming services like Spotify came onto the scene. I'm not sure where my music is now, probably on a hard drive somewhere, dumped amongst other junk.

I think spotify used to come with last.fm support but I think I just lost interest in the whole thing, I don't consume music in the same way as when I was a younger man.

EDIT: Just logged into my last.fm account and it looks like the scrobbling still works from spotify, so it's been scrobbling all this time, probably for 10+ years without me logging in!

I don't know what you're getting at. Static typing makes your code easier to understand and reason about. It's pretty much an unmitigated win.

Dynamic languages may have made some sense back when people wanted to cruft something up and get it running without declaring the type of each object before it is used (which declarations can get verbose and cumbersome in the presence of parameterized types). But today we have powerful computers that can quickly check and infer types in ever more elaborate type systems, and the risks of dynamic languages seem less and less worth the development speed gains. You can see this in perennial language popularity contests. Consider how thoroughly the programming community embraced TypeScript over JavaScript because of the guarantees static type checking provides before your code even runs. And while Lisp used to be the smart kids' favored programming language, it was displaced by Haskell and later by Rust once those languages matured to where people were building real world stuff in them. (As it turns out, baking object lifetimes and ownership into your type system means you don't even need a GC to get Lisp levels of power and abstraction!)
Certainly interesting, but I'm not sure how well the performance of a prolog interpreter maps to other use cases.

That benchmark looks too short to be a useful measure of how JIT influences performance, otherwise I would ask how the regular Wasmer does in that benchmark too (since it seems like create-exe doesn't include a JIT).

Web standards/technologies are in wide use outside of browsers (via things like Electron), so you may find that the name makes more sense when viewed through that lens.
Why is it magic? Wine has been around since forever. It's not like Valve wrote most of the underlying code proton runs on.

And what's with all the valve/steam hype from people that should know better? At the end of the day you are using a DRM front end (steam) that fragments the mod ecosystem and obfuscates the process of installing and running the software you paid for on your own computer.

> But with wasm, you just pull in csharp.wasm, python.wasm and java.wasm, so it's just one binding layer, not three.

A bit of a rant, but there's nothing specific to WebAssembly about this.

Whether you're using WebAssembly or native code:

- The basic interface you get between caller and callee is a low-level calling convention, where essentially all you have are integers (which can be pointers), and any higher-level data structures need to be built out of that.

- A slightly higher-level interface is the C ABI; many languages support exporting and consuming APIs using the C ABI, but it can be frustratingly low-level.

- To provide an even higher-level interface, there are bindings generators, which could in principle either be designed as direct language-to-language bridges, or as a single common standard that any language can provide and consume APIs for.

The WebAssembly Component Model standard and the wit-bindgen tool are an example of the latter. They happen to be defined specifically for WebAssembly rather than generically for any architecture. If they become ubiquitous at some point in the future like they're supposed to, then WebAssembly will have an advantage when it comes to high-level bindings, not because of any fundamental technical aspect of WebAssembly itself, but just because people building these bindings on top of WebAssembly have more motivation and more consensus. (WebAssembly does have a technical advantage when it comes to sandboxing between components, but this is relatively unimportant for most use cases.)

But for now, wit-bindgen isn't ubiquitous, and most of those languages don't even work in WebAssembly yet…

Yep there is usage reporting (which features people use), but it never includes the sites or domains you visit. Beyond the project being open-source, it's also bundled so the production code is a readable as possible for you to verify this.

Honestly the extension would not exist in its current form without this. Looking at the usage after releasing a feature is incredibly helpful to see if something is working.
> So, the range impact on a trip with an uphill component will often not be substantive

All I can say is that didn't match my experience as an EV owner (leaser) at all.

At 100% battery, indicated range was 90 miles and on level ground that estimate was just about right.

But on the commute over a hill, 30 miles, I'd arrive at work with only ~10 miles left. So it used up 80 miles of indicated range to travel only 30 miles! Due to the uphill portion. Recovery on the downhill is minimal as mentioned in earlier post, just a couple miles of indicated range.

> You’ll save money most of the time over the life of the vehicle in the form of lower fuel and maintenance costs.

In theory, this is true. In practice, Teslas are very expensive to repair, don't have a very good reliability track record, and there isn't the secondary market yet for independent mechanics and part suppliers to be able to challenge factory repair costs. This is why Tesla sets aside roughly the same amount for warranty reserves as their competitors, meaning they expect to spend the same amount per year doing repairs on their cars as do the ICE makers.

Really the auto industry itself is making the cars unappealing by locking things down with DRM and trying to change the ownership model of cars, even being able to block you from starting the car remotely. So we have propriety charging stations that are owned by the automaker, a repair ecosystem controlled by the automaker, and powerful software in complete control of every aspect of the car communicating constantly with the automaker. In that type of environment, expect to get milked constantly regardless of the theoretical advantages EVs have in terms of cost. A truly open platform electric car -- one that is highly modifiable and customizable and mechanically much less complex -- that's a DIY/hobbyists' dream, and it should have much lower maintenance costs.

But automakers are standing in the way.

> Human review and recommendation still beats algorithmic recommendation by a mile if you have discerning tastes

I completely agree. But last.fm doesn't do human review either, right? OTOH, I think the "radio" feature on spotify is wildly underrated. I used to spend hours compiling playlists for different moments/social settings/moods (still do, because it's fun), but picking any song/album/artist and then getting an endless stream of similar music is an amazing feature. Unfortunately, sometimes it screws up and will suggest me the same songs over and over again and there is no way to get a little more control over the algorithm.

I came to hate the Superstar cover by Sonic Youth and "I'm So Tired" by Fugazi for those reasons. Great songs, but they just kept coming up as the first recommended track and I can't stand hearing those intro piano chords on the latter anymore!! According to my last.fm [0] I played it 50+ times and I don't even remember once seeking out that song or putting it in one of my playlists.
