I’ve dinkered around Wasm some but am certainly no expert. Were you referring to the initial memory that is allocated from the Wasm code and/or js, etc? Or is this something set by the Wasm runtime?

I haven’t run it myself but I’ve heard others mention that you can prob get several hundred MB to a GB or so but shouldn’t count in getting near the 4GB limit.

Nonetheless, that’s plenty for my use case and random hacking.

We already have that for most hardware in practice, don't we ? The direction of travel in the embedded industry seems fairly clear: you have totally-open ecosystems strictly for hobbyists (arduino, raspberry pi, etc), and totally-closed products for the masses (standard brands). Anything inbetween is tolerated but unsupported.

Clearer legislation would obviously not kill the hobbyist ecosystem, and possibly improve the branded one. Even if the price of such legislation were to be the loss of grey areas where hacked/unsupported branded products live, it might well be worth paying to cash in the gains. Obviously the devil would be in the details of such legislation, so it's all pure speculation anyway.
I sold AT for $30k, and primarily used the proceeds from that to acquire DR.. I was still working 9-5 then also, so I was prepared to spend upwards of $50k to acquire DR (as that industry seemed like a good fit for me) (author here, fyi)

This is one of those situations where it's not a problem until it is a problem. Aside from the general _management_ problems you'll have, a poor manager isn't going to be able to advocate well for promotions, etc. for his team. So there's a good chance your advancement at the company is stalled as long as you work for this person.

Is this something you can do anything about? Well, "fixing your manager" is a high risk, low reward activity and personally I'd advise against it. My advice would be to try and get an internal transfer while things are still "good" and if that's not an option, look elsewhere.

> The problem is people keep trying to stamp the diversity out.

I'm very cynical about this "diversity is our strength" stuff

In my opinion the problem is that society has been working hard to reduce "diversity" to mean different skin colors, genitals or sexual preferences, with a sprinkling of different cuisine. What most people refer to as diversity is very superficial

Diversity of ideas, diversity of politics, diversity of beliefs are still not very popular

The idea seems to be that the superficial diversity automatically produces the meaningful diversity, but I don't think that is true

Pandoc seems useful, but maybe "mass market" is a bit of an overstatement?

And since many programmers like myself had to learn Haskell, I think Haskell should have a better head start and be in a better position, if it would be so useful for "real world" use cases.

But please don't take this as an attack on haskell. I have nothing against the language, or its users and I did not suffered because of it in university, I am just curious on the appeal. Because I love clean solutions, but I also want to ship things. So part of me are wondering if I am missing out, but I so far I see not much convincing data.
(But I am also mainly interested in high performance and real time graphics and haskell is really not the best here)
> We're talking about overall trends, not to mention EU-level rules like GDPR.

GDPR actually reduced complexity of rules you had to deal with, some of them imposed since 1998 if not earlier.

It's just that companies happily operated as if the rules didn't apply. Then GDPR changed one crucial bit of the equation by making fines for breaking the law actually be impactful (see also how NIS2 introducing personal financial responsibility for company boards started putting up a fire into them regarding security).

In my experience, the uniform rules are actually simpler than what came before often. Pre-unification you often had to deal with them anyway because otherwise you had smaller market... where the big corporation could easily just deal with the rules just as well as you.

A small company is not going to have considerable win from more rules to deal with, unless it's a subcontractor to a big corp (and that's a precarious situation often) or where it's going to deal with possibly ever-smaller niche.

If you want to speak for your company, then you speak for your company. You have freedom of speech. Same goes for Joe.

If a company is just "people acting together/cooperating", then there is no company -- it's not a person, nor even a thing; it's just something people do. ("Acting together" and "cooperating" are both verbs.)

This "free speech for companies" malarkey is what "companies" (= (usually rich) people) hide behind when "the company" does bad shit. Granting "companies" legal personhood is one of the bigger reasons the USA are as fucked up as they are.

Not git, but yes, it did mess up the blame lines. Luckily most people don't care about the attribution on BUILD files.

Those pings were a fun tour of directories I'd never heard of (but did edit). Been a few years since I got one of those.

I agree and I think that there are a lot of weird side effects to this (potentially, at least).

I live in NYC and go into the office two days a week, which honestly suits my lifestyle just great. But I used to pay for a monthly metrocard, now I pay (much less per month) per ride. Mass transit requires a certain level of ridership in order to be sustainable. In 2023 that subway ridership was at 68% of pre-pandemic levels so not the disastrous drop-off some feared but still a significant drop. Should these trends continue governments are going to have to find some way to equity between lower income workers that must travel to their job and higher income remote workers. Likely taxing the latter, which will be very unpopular.
My guess is that while humans are great hunters, apes aren't, and that our distant ancestors would be a lot more dependent on prey behaving as expected and not, say, suddenly charge at you suicidally.

I bought a cool wifi, internet connected picture frame from a thrift store. It had someone else's pictures on it, so I went into the menu and selected "Factory Reset"

After that it never booted past the setup pages with a "unable to get token" message. I messaged the company who was very responsive but the end result was that they said it was unfixable and to return it to the store.

It was only $8, but I was looking forward to a wifi connected picture frame.
I have no data to back me up, so take this with a big pinch of salt.

Or to let you know about a market option.

I think there’s a need for a business to let customers know they exist. I’m not against ads per se, but certainly against tracking and poorly integrated and over-stuffing of ads into content. And at times I’ve wished there was a non-tracking, “tasteful” ad company.
This is not the whole truth. You'll get actively punished the higher your salary is. At the 100k Euro mark you will lose all government subsidies and the worst part is that the government will stop paying for elderly care for your parents. Instead, you will be forced to. Independent of your relationships with them. 100k sounds like a lot but you'll be left with 55-60k Euro after taxis, with elderly care being above 3000 euro a month for one parent only.
Also, if you're interested in History and enjoy "off the beaten path" type of tourism, it's 100% worth the ~8 hour ride from Santa Cruz to visit La Higuera, the little pueblo where the Bolivian Government captured and executed Che Guevara. The schoolhouse that they executed him in is now converted into a tiny little museum, and the whole town has art and statues of him, it's a super interesting place.

That actually brings up an interesting topic: are they (still) there because human populations are comparatively lower?

Africa has some very fertile regions but except for some like the Nile Valley most of them couldn't really compete well with the Yellow River Valley, the Ganges Valley, etc.

Just for comparison, the population of Africa around 1900 was around 100 million, out of which Egypt had 10 million, Ethiopia 10 million, Nigeria 30 million, and 1-2 other population centers around 10 million each. So 70 out 100 million people were bunched up in maybe 5% of the territory.

In the meantime, just India had about 300 million people in 1900 :-) India within from 1500 to 1900 probably had more humans living in it than Africa from the beginning of mankind to 1900.

> It means at least 200 more days of the kind of Chrome user tracking that should have been banished years ago.

This kind of writing makes me question if the author understands the tech they're writing about. Chrome itself isn't doing any user-tracking through cookies, full stop. Websites you visit have 3rd party trackers embedded in them, and they are the ones tracking your behavior. They're watching your every move and using it to build up a profile, so they can send you targeted ads. But since they're 3rd party, you have no control over what they learn about you.

Clearly the right way forward is decentralization: you should have control over your own data, and choose exactly what a site knows about you (if anything). The only way to do that is to move the data into your browser! I don't understand why the Privacy Sandbox initiative isn't seen more positively, when it gives you direct control over your profile.
We have, actually! It’s called “web browser” and there is a high chance you already have it on your device.

> (for instance when the global state is writable from unexpected places in the code base or from other threads)

...or from a function that calls itself, directly or indirectly. This automatically becomes possible basically whenever the function accesses a user-supplied callback. So you'll run into issues unless you have full control over your callees, or only access the global array in logically-atomic patterns.

(To give an ancient example: to enable function calls, PDP-8 programs allocated a word of static memory before the top of each subroutine to store the return address. However, if a subroutine tried to recurse into itself, then the old return address would be overwritten, and it would never be able to return properly. Supposedly this could result in very gnarly errors to debug.)

No. Size is not the enemy. Illegibility is the enemy. Every large code base that any of us have ever actually seen has been illegible, but that does not prove that it must be so. A code base of any size can be made legible by managing its complexity. This is one of the things that refactoring is supposed to do.
I would presume it's not retroactive, and would only apply to devices sold after the law went into effect. And perhaps only even devices manufactured before then.

> Like, do you even realize that this the reason why Nvidia is mopping the floor with your stuff?

Are they?

Generally, my experience has been that AMD products generally just work even if they're a bit buggy sometimes, while Nvidia struggles to get a video signal at all.

Seems perfectly reasonable to focus on what matters, while Nvidia is distracted by the AI fad.
What money are they using for this? The money they get from Google, the world's biggest ad company, or the money users have donated to them?
It's more like a recognition that the sales price probably has gone up a lot and that management likely has some level of confidence that it will continue to increase--though that is of course not a guarantee that NVIDIA is a good investment today.

I can't speak to what has happened with Buildifier, but in general you are right. It has to be a hard rule that if you change the format rules, you have to reformat everything to match.

If that means it's too hard to change the format rules, then don't change the format rules. And if you don't reformat, then it has to be a clear rule known to everyone (or written down somewhere you can point to) that incidental formatting changes are acceptable and not something you are allowed to push back on.

I can speak to Go and gofmt, and there we are VERY reluctant to change formatting rules. It does happen for the odd corner case once in a while, but nothing that would cause "changes far beyond my 2-line fix".
> Not sure where you're from, but in most of the US "apartments" are not assets, but liabilities: tenants don't own them, but rent them.

A rented apartment is a liability to the tenant, but an asset to the landlord. And whether a residence is rented or owner-occupied isn't an inherent property of the residence, since it can change over time–it isn't uncommon (for a person of sufficient means) to buy a new house/apartment/etc and then rent out the old one instead of selling it.

> We generally call them "condos" when owned.

Is this a peculiarity of American English? In Australian English, "apartment" is about the type of physical structure, and has nothing to do with the building's legal structure. (What Americans call "condominiums", Australians call "strata title", but it is essentially the same thing–newer apartment buildings are almost all strata title, but older buildings sometimes have other ownership structures, for example company title.)
