I think the better question is why would someone expect them to be the same? I haven't worked on a WASM interpreter or JIT, but how often is it better to go through multiple layers of translation instead of one? Translating high level code to WASM, or any assembly language, makes you lose a lot of the "intent" embedded in the higher level code. In lower-level code, you often see a series of language-specific idioms for accomplishing the goal, that may or may not have direct equivalents on your actual machine. In the case of modern x86-64, you have a ton of instructions that are far more powerful than what you can do in WASM.

Decompilers exist of course, and maybe a list of macro-op fusions exists where a WASM JIT can do a relatively simple pattern match and get good native code (probably not though, and good luck with cross-platform optimization). And, LLVM is definitely not perfect, there's definitely low-hanging fruit where a post-processing optimizer could make improvements. So it is theoretically possible to make WASM faster than LLVM's native emit by doing something equivalent to an optimization step LLVM should have but doesn't at the moment.

But I highly, highly doubt that you'd get just as good results without some seriously well-laid plans, which I doubt exist, or by creating a set of instructions which is, in effect, a superset of what target ISAs support. From what I've seen, it's a subset, so good luck trying to canonicalize the operations and merge them back together in real time. Not entirely impossible of course, but it would be a serious feat of engineering.

Intuitively, if I wrote a book in English, then it got translated to a very different language that's also limited to only a few thousand words, then translated back to English, it wouldn't be exactly the same text. There would be concepts that have to be explained with a paragraph that, in English, would only take a single word. Getting my English back out would require a 1-to-1 translation of everything, or a list of paragraph-to-1 translations that both translators agree upon.
Thanks, we are trying to compose an argument with this service in mind, we didn't have any recursive invocation protections for this lambda, and the AWS services it hammered during its invocations contributed to the massive cost.
The feature I always suggest as uniquely C# flavoured is LINQ.

Although the SQL-like form isn't always favoured, and quite a lot of the time I use the plain OO one.

Oh yes, extension methods: do you want object X to support method Y, but can't change object X? Well, provided you don't need access to anything private, you can just add a method and do X.Y()
In summary? You just said the complete opposite of what was said before.

> I haven't used Discord, but isn't the issue there that the answer gets quickly buried?

Yes. This is one of the key reasons behind creating SO and why it worked so well at first.

As well as non-current content in some sources getting buried or otherwise being hard to find, or simply expiring (individual forums going offline), the other issue was the distribution of people willing+able to answer questions around the many disparate forums was inefficient – for all the talk of “the Internet should be as decentralised as possible” no one has found a better answer for this than a bit of centralisation with open licensing (SO wouldn't have attracted as many of the better people answering if their work was going to be locked in rather than covered by something like CC-BY-SA).

The solution that is taking over a bit ATM is Chatty Glorified Predictive Text and its friends, because this gets around the latency issues (you get a much faster answer, even if an incorrect one that means you need to rephrase the question several times) and licensing issues (though IMO the morality of that is rather dubious, the legality of it is still being argued in a number of places, but nether question of legality nor morality is going to stop it happening going forward).
I think some contributing factors are:

1) a lot of questions have been answered. How often do you ask something that is answered by a 2010-2014 answer very well? IME, often

2) programming isn’t as niche as it used to be. these days, a lot of SO is just asking for free labour on very niche questions like an exception someone is getting. which was never the point of SO

there’s a wealth of answers on SO historically, which are great. But I don’t remember the last time I used SO to answer a specific question for a recent software tool, or relied on any post-2021 question/answer
“Malaysia Airlines operations…were tracking the plane on the Flight Explorer website, which, as they would only realize hours later, simply continued to display an aircraft’s projected path if its transponder stopped broadcasting position information.”

What in the actual fuck.

“…the supposed signals from the black boxes must have been false. Only much later was it discovered that the signals had probably come from the scanning equipment pinging itself.”

Wat.

“ATSB chose to assume that the plane spiraled in close to the seventh arc because it had not received enough funding to extend the width of the search area to 100 nautical miles.”

WAT.
Most people can’t breathe at high altitudes due to insufficient air pressure. That’s why airplanes are usually pressurized.

If that extra pressure goes away for whatever reason, people are handed oxygen masks and tanks to help them stay alive. What the GP comment says is that the plane may have been depressurized at one point at high altitude. The pilot’s oxygen mask is usually designed to last longer than any of the other passengers’s masks do. So it’s not entirely implausible that the pilot can still guide the plane into controlled descent, while all the other passengers may have already passed out due to lack of oxygen.
Have you spoken to any vaccine-hesitant? Almost none of them are vaccine-hesitant because they don't like the idea of a needle in their arm; a nasal delivery method would have almost no measurable effect on voluntary uptake.

The El Camino was supposed to be an improvement. A combination between a car and a truck. It turns out it was not an improvement. It's better to just have a car or a truck.

I had a look at COSMIC on Fedora [1]. It is fast, stable and usable, but feels little unfinished (it is an early version after all). It is not my cup of tea (maybe I am too comfortable with KDE Plasma 6), but I am glad that there's a new solid option for a desktop environment. And unlike other with DEs, where interest and development quickly fizzles out, this will probably last as it has the System76 backing.

One issue that I had is fractional scaling for Electron (and older X11) apps on Wayland (same issue with Gnome and most DEs). Apps are blurry. It seems that only KDE Plasma figured it out. Plasma has an option "Apply scaling themselves", which just works.

The "fully static binary" only works because Go ships cryptography and most other usually host-provided features that other languages rely on host's libc instead, at the cost of performance, limited feature support and requirement to recompile everything in order to ship (inevitable) security fixes, which did happen in the past.

.NET native compilation toolchain supports this mode but it's not a default for a reason (causes binary size bloat too, musl is rather small, but ICU is very much not).

(just to be accurate - all C# and runtime code becomes a single static executable, but cross-compilation is possible between CPU architectures within OS only, with additional options enabled by 'PublishAotCross' nuget package that switches to Zig toolchain's linker so you can AOT compile for Linux targets under Windows, for "self-contained trimmed JIT executables" you can target any OS/ISA regardless of what you use)

Anyway:

dotnet new console --aot #or 'grpc --aot', or 'webapiaot'
dotnet publish -o .

Notes: gRPC tooling is a bit heavy, webapiaot template could be improved in my opinion

As of today, ILC has become better at binary size baseline and scalability due to more advanced trimming (tree-shaking) analysis, metadata compression and pointer-rich binary section dehydration (you don't need to pay for embedding full-sized pointers if you can hydrate them at startup from small offsets). You can additionally verify this by referencing more dependencies, observing binary size change and then maybe looking at disassembly with Ghidra.

Also better capability for true static linking - you can make .NET NativeAOT toolchain produce static libraries with C exports that you link into C/C++/Rust compilations, or you can link static libraries produced by the latter in NAOT-compiled executables[0][1]. It is a niche and advanced scenario that implies understanding of native linkers but it is something you can do if you need to.

Binaries compiled in such a way will have its interop become plain direct calls into another section in it (like in C). There will be a helper call or a flag check to cooperate with GC but it's practically free. Costs about 0.5-2ns.

My experience from asking about that here earlier is that they seldom can. Their well-worded and perfect questions maybe weren't that good in retrospect when they dug it up again?
Even if these companies never sold another PLB, they'd be just fine. They make most of their money selling ELTs for aviation and EPIRBs for marine vessels. (It's all the same tech, just different form factors.)

Also, the people who paid the premium for a PLB over a Spot/InReach are likely to pay the premium for a PLB over an iPhone too. The fact that thes are dedicated, purpose-built devices that are guarenteed to always work, anywhere, in even the worst conditions is the entire selling point - and that hasn't changed.
I'd suspect that you could put a far higher-capacity nuclear power plant in a deep well than you could extract geothermal energy from same.

Most deep-bore geothermal proposals call for many wells to be bored, on the order of dozens to hundreds. These have a limited lifespan (a few decades), and provide relatively low amounts of energy per well (perhaps tens of MW, as compared with 100s to 1,000s of MW from a nuclear reactor).

Scale and efficiency matter.

(I'm not advocating for or against either alternative here, simply noting the relative scale/effectiveness.)

Yeah, that raised my eyebrow also.

I'm in Australia, tangentially connected to the Fugro vessel ocean floor search that followed and almost from the outset heard very little other than "pilot appears to have evaded radar, swung plane about low, and gone waaaaay off course delibrately".

Various 'causes' have been hypoxia, hijacking, suicidal pilot | other flight crew - sans any real knowledge of happenings in the cockpit it's a standing mystery.
I disagree. MS was completely succesfull in their goals. They kept a ton of developers busy learing useless Xamarin, thus keeping them from developing products that can actually compete with Microsoft products.

Next they killed of an open source competitor (Mono) of their product, stole the usefull bits to put it in .Net, and now they dump the leftover project (that's not competing with them anymore) back into the OS world.

How is that not a smart way of doing business?

>Sergei Tretyakov made such claims. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergei_Tretyakov_(intelligen...

I didn't see anything in that in that wikipedia article about it. Besides, the claims of defectors are frequently exaggerated and fall apart. They have a strong tendency to try to say what they think their audience want to hear.

>Stasi and green activist contacts are also documented. (Most funding came from fossile fuel orgs/persons, not eastern block.) https://www.dw.com/en/study-confirms-that-stasi-infiltrated-...

This article is 0% about the conspiracy theory and 100% about how the stasi tried to infiltrate a political party - which is, yes, quite plausible.

As I said, it's quite the conspiracy theory.

I think a balance is needed. Completely denormalised isn’t a good idea because if you have a single table with a large row, but a single column receives most the updates and it updates a lot, you’re going to have tons of dead tuples and write churn/overhead whenever updating a row in that table.

But I agree that some people go too far with normalisation. When done reasonably, with awareness of access patterns and application behaviour, I think it’s important though.
Other problems with StackOverflow:

- gamification problems: e.g. a race to answer instead of thinking it through, downvoting competing answers
- the accepted answer sometimes is incorrect (but sounds good enough to OP)
- balance between repeat or vague questions and over-zealous mods blocking
- need of better mod vetting (ideally, paid)
- question quality

Some of these could be helped with tools. For example have a small repro and test answers in a VM. And have small ML helpers to fill in the spaces and link to other questions or official docs.

Maybe all answers should be wiki-style (cooperative).

Maybe questions could be first in a staging area and meta-evaluated if it's good, dupe, or too vague. And it could also be improved by the community.

Pretty sure that the Cultural Revolution ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Revolution ) induced such a chaos that tackling this dam's problems was much more difficult.

Unfortunately injection based cheating is not the most prevalent form of cheating within titles that do a great job at preventing it such as overwatch. Screen bots are used often outside of any monitored process through hdmi streams and such. They can use game features, sprites, and colors to make aim and trigger bots that seem pretty natural. Additionally the most prevalant and annoying cheaters are the ones that trick games into believing keyboard and mouse is a controller which combines sticky aim features of controller input with the precision of mouse and keyboard controls. On consoles this is a dominant persistent cheat that a larger percentage of gamers use as opposed to the small percentage that inject code.
I went back and checked my SO account history. I stopped posting answers regularly at the end of 2011. I can't remember now what drama caused me to stop, but in 2011 I was posting 2-3 answers per day, then in 2012 I didn't post anything until mid-year, then about a post or two per year, and my last post was over 6 years ago.

Digging through my local notes and journals as to why I stopped, I have an unpublished draft blog post from 2012 that has some examples of bad questions from 2012, and I later added https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/252506 to it as something that resonated with me - "Why did I even help this guy? I have just been wasting my time". I must have been burned out on the whole thing by that point, but it was 10+ years ago and I've not even visited SO in years.

I do remember they added a tier of moderation around this time, and I had sufficient points to have access to that. Every time I visited the site it showed a red dot on the stuff-to-do icon, encouraging me to review a queue of bad questions. I'm pretty sure that was when I decided to stop contributing, because the site felt like it was more focused on the tedious bureaucracy of it all than the technical stuff.
Yeah, “insisting on programming with Python” is exactly the reason why you would want to use Edifice.
There was a sense of "wasting a port". A modern Linux /etc/services has only 200 or so reserved TCP ports (out of a possible ~50k) so that fear might have been overblown.

I suspect the bureaucratic overhead of needing to go to IANA to reserve a new port might have had a chilling effect. See:

https://www.iana.org/protocols/apply

https://www.iana.org/form/ports-services
It's not BS. They port a lot of modules but based on the needs of the developers, and often out of date.
That is indeed what many people want! Look at people defending "app stores" as being for the users' own good, and sometimes everyone else's.

Did you state that you'd seen those questions/answers, and why they did not cover the subtleties of your situation? While it sounds like gate-keeping to require you to provide this information up-front, it saves other people's time giving you answers (including links to those questions/answers) that are not relevant. “State what you have already tried” is mentioned up-front in all the places that describe how to ask a good question, and is good advice more generally, away from SO, too.
What I'd like to see from the Democrat camp is making mail voter registration easier, making government IDs mandatory, and also improving voter identification. Maybe also moving all voting to Sundays, so most people have time.

Better voter identification IMHO is a reasonable ask from Republicans that's always shot down by Democrats. They say it excludes people that don't have ID.

To me it seems reasonable to make having ID mandatory. And also making your ID mandatory for voting, like in every other developed nation I know. Make it free to get a state ID in the same legislation.

This would take away the main argument Republicans have for saying there's potential fraud. Having ID is also good for people, because it eases interaction with the state in other things.
If I understand correctly, sentinels (https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Se...) are about external processes, like running a shell command concurrently. So for example one can run a `git status` in a separate process and have a sentinel for that. Now if I think about magit, it might very well run some git status, but what about rendering a huge diff in the magit status buffer? Can such a thing even be done in an external process? Or does that necessarily stall Emacs?
