Throwing out accusations of judicial corruption without evidence is reckless and, frankly, undermines the integrity of any meaningful critique you may hope to offer. These are not trivial charges; alleging that the highest court is driven by pure partisanship demands a comprehensive in-depth analysis to back it up. To fling out these accusations without doing that is irresponsible. It reeks of partisan hackery.

If you want to be taken seriously on a subject as critical as judicial bias, then do the work and come prepared with more than superficial evidence.
Probably 99% of us are alive because our ancestors altered the landscape to provide food and shelter.

Yes, it goes wrong sometimes, but on balance it's a great, even essential thing.
The same can be told of UNIX, lets not forget the first worm was targeted at UNIX systems, and the root cause keeps being a regular CVE in C and C++ projects.
At one point of time when I had to deal with people submitting phishing links to a web service I owned, I learned some of the tricks that phishers use to get around reports, such as using IP geolocation or the accept-language and accept-encoding header to determine if the phishing page should be served.

With tricks like this, it's not a surprise to see why the companies operating blocklists are hesitant to make this process easy; after all, what's to prevent the phishers from temporarily stating that the issue has been resolved to get out of the denylist, and then restarting their campaign again?
I saw a coffee ad yesterday waxing poetic about the calmness and ancient history of traditional Japanese kissaten and my eyes just about rolled out of my head. It's totally unlike an American coffeehouse, you see, because they use dark roasts.
"Recently been shown" by the paper I linked to.
UAC in practice doesn't function as a security boundary, and to make it one would so inconvenience users that they'd just go to other OSes.

Both UAC and sudo are just OS level cookie dialog boxes. Let's get rid of all three.

We need to give up on the UAC/sudo/etc. style of user based privilege escalation and instead sandbox apps, not users, just like Android and iOS do.
Did they solve GC and DOM access ? It's been years since it was "just about to happen" and I stopped paying attention in the meantime. But if it had that I agree - it would be ideal if JS was a legacy thing and a saner WASM first class language got to replace it.

Keep the single threaded event loop approach but kill the JS semantics.
What are you talking about?

It’s woke to say Israel controls the media?

The first statement is plainly anti-semitic. (Talking about a people and culture) The second is, arguably, against the Israeli state. Israel is a social and political construct. You can change your mind about being Zionist, for example. It’s not an inherent trait like skin color.
I did something like this on Hypixel for a month or two. Watched the prices for inputs to various crafting recipes as well as the craft recipes output prices themselves on a loop, and whenever it hit a certain profit level, play a chime and I would go run some crafts. Easy enough to pull the info off of https://wiki.hypixel.net , and https://wiki.hypixel.net/Travel_Scrolls were the ones that most often had good returns. You needed a certain skill/level to make them, so the prices didn't even out too fast. Got tired of it eventually as the game wasn't so deep, but it's fun to mess around with for sure.
Consensus and the Open Source AI Definition
Assembly is not a language runtime. Even if you had WebAssembly as the core, you'd still need to compile JavaScript to WebAssembly, manage the GC, etc which all would still suffer from the performance implications mentioned in the article.

Also... do you really think its wise to rewrite v8 to target WebAssembly?
> I think it's a really bad take to say that something is open source because it's in a "preferred" format.

Preferred form and under a free license. Llama isn't open source, but that's because the license has restrictions.

As for if it's a bad take that the preferred form matters—take it up with the GPL, I'm just using their definition:

> The “source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it.
The Xbox is 'secure', but against the user. There are a great many PC's out there that this model doesn't work for.
> Inflationary environments are actually positive for these people, because it makes it easier to justify ever increasing rents.

No. Deflationary is better, because they keep the same price but get more and more wealth anyway.

Its the lack of competition that's the problem in any case. If someone is not contributing well or giving a good deal, shop somewhere else. If you're unable to shop somewhere else, then its a known flaw in capitalism (called Monopolies). You only have a good capitalistic system if competition can be assured.
On the plus side, the games most in need of archiving take up a relatively small amount of space. Old CP/M and Commodore-64 games are so small you can easily store all of them on a cheap disk.

The more people who have complete archives (even if they're not being distributed freely) the more likely these games will survive.
> Does the lifecycle matter much, though?

How could it not? It's essentially the same issue as an unmaintained phonebook or a map. What's at a given address or phone number changes, and if your solution is not equipped to handle that change, your solution is bad.
Roman numerals are too abstract a representation of counting. I use potatoes.
>My response it motivated by outcomes, your response is motivated by an extreme devotion to far-right ideology.

>We both understand that such rulings undermine democracy and are detrimental to our country as a whole

You're displaying an unearned sense of moral superiority, built on the assumption that you fully understand my motivations and intentions. You're convinced that my viewpoint must stem from some sort of malicious intent and/or ideological blindness, rather than from genuine differences in opinion.

When you claim it's 'obvious' I'm wrong, you’re essentially weaponizing your own beliefs to silence dissent. Rather than engaging with the substance of my argument, you’re claiming your argument is correct on the basis of the very premise that is under contention. It's circular reasoning that you're badgering me with as a bullying tactic. It's authoritarian extremism.
Sorry to hear you feel that way.
> I do find it quite irritating that only place to ask questions [is] discord

It's a tradeoff. The platform is a closed-source silo.

But for a lot of people, it works really well.

I avoided it until eventually one community made me want to be a member.

Those who dislike Discord in that community set up relay bots.

> Community questions and answers need to be readable and searchable without yet another login.

This is a big tragedy that any technical community will suffer from long-term for choosing Discord:

They may cultivate a community, but they will not grow their garden of knowledge.

But to have your resources and attention spread too thin can be devastating, too.

Only huge projects can afford to have multiple Discords, Telegrams, IRCs, Wikis, and not worry too much about the overflow and redundancy.

Small projects like Odin must focus on having a few high-traffic places.

> Wouldn't it make more sense for some of these features to be implemented as a desugaring step in the runtime itself?

I think if it was that simple, it would be done that way already (maybe it is, for some features). Two big arguments for doing the "desugaring" offline are the (1) speed, and (2) security of the browser. Those two things also conflict somewhat if addressed on the client, since faster but more complex compiler code increases the surface area for potential exploits.

But if you do this compile step offline, you don't need to worry about compromising the performance or security of the browser.
The Russians, or the Putin administration in particular, are in an existential war at this point.

Of course totalitarian regimes exist to keep the totalitarian regime in power, at the expense if necessary of everything else. But the Russian state is comprised of the core ethnic Russian territory, which we think of as Russia, but then also have a VERY large population and land exposure of the -Stans as vassal states to be exploited.

None of those stans want to be with Russia. Of course for Russia, losing control of those provinces will mean exposure on all sides from continental invasion, a massive loss of resources and wealth, and worst of all would motivate the regime to be toppled as weak.

It would be foolish to think the Russians aren't doing it. There was demonstrable evidence of them interfering in the Clinton-Trump election.

There is hints of substantial dark money sloshing around Washington from China and Russia. Why would there not, when Saudi (notice how almost every President goes to Saudi Arabia to kiss ass at the end of their terms?) and Israeli already is, although those are more clear geopolitical interests.

Because the quiet agreement on both sides of the aisle is "don't stop any money trains", there isn't the proper attention on this influence, but the Ukraine funding holdup, which was really funny money accounting of valuing old stockpiles being pulled from warehouses that was going to just be scrapped in the near future anyway, was a bizarre political event.

To me that really felt like Russian dark money, because the Ukrainians were basically kept without ammo for months and months and the Russians made substantial gains. Why would they not?

Regardless, the current administration is still showing weakness and taking it. The Russians are constantly escalating the war, and are now shipping in foreign North Korean troops, and NATO should respond in kind with its own direct troop assistance.

The Russians have for decades bragged about fomenting discontent in foreign powers, ironically as their country has economically and demographically faded.

We supposedly have invested in state of the art information warfare, but the weakness is that we SUPPOSEDLY can't turn those weapons on our population, while our main opponents can use their capabilities at will domestically or internationally.
We either have to learn to have a society that doesn't depend on ponzi-scheme style constant population growth or we just keep pursuing unfettered growth that [increasingly less slowly] destroys the ecosystems we ultimately depend on for survival, to say nothing of natural beauty.

I guess space colonization is a third variable here, but the feedback loop on that is likely to not materially affect our trajectory in either direction.
Yes, nothing. It's better than allowing the government to decide what is fact or lie, Ministry of Truth style.
The main caveat to this currently is that someone would have to run an alternative to https://plc.directory, and everyone else would have to agree which one to switch to. I'll be a lot more comfortable with atproto once the directory has moved to a non profit like ICANN (as @pfraze mentions), or a different DID method gains wide adoption.
If this happened then JavaScript would be split into 20+ languages, one for each popular compiler. There would be nothing stopping a tool maker from adding their favorite language features even if no other compiler ever adopted them. That would be a disaster.

Of course. A new secure computing platform would have to be built from scratch and from secure primitives that would not be backwards compatible with anything outside of virtualized emulation.
Yes, I'm not worried about it. I've not been following it as closely as I'd like, but from what I've read the core team seems to be taking a very measured incremental approach with the type system.

So, her books compare Trump to Mussolini, Hitler, Franco, and people are surprised that the event was cancelled.

Trump by the way is Netanyahu's favorite candidate.

All U.S. media organizations attempt the "Trump is Hitler" shtick as a final Hail Mary because they sense that Harris is going to lose. Just like in 2016.

I think it’s much harder to make big leaps as a community with languages and other - relative to the technology stack as a whole - lower level concerns.

Look at the stronghold grip of C/C++ and how long it’s taken Rust to gain a meaningful foothold in those realms for example.

Google wanted to flat replace JS once already, that was the entire origin of Dart. They only pivoted to the cross platform mobile framework as its primary target after it failed to gain traction as a standard
I don't like that idea at all - why should an author be obligated to do ongoing work in marketing / publisher schmoozing / etc to keep their copyright? If someone wants to republish an out-of-print novel that's still in copyright, they should at least have to pay royalties - perhaps it's acceptable if the author can't refuse a reprinting, but they definitely need to get paid. Otherwise small authors would have their IP stolen out from under them by publishers with teams of lawyers: sole proprietors don't have the resources to keep older copyrights "alive."
Arguably the 2nd biggest: the biggest was when they made that shit mandatory, in that I can no longer go into Settings and uncheck "New UI". The breadcrumb placement[1] alone almost made me rage revert to 2023.something since it was so instrumental to my workflow. Maybe by next Oct I'll have retrained my brain to look in the new location, but goddamn was it that important to them?

1: yes, I am aware of the Setting that says "breadcrumb placement = top" and I am also aware it does absolutely nothing. I'm currently too burned out on their process to open a YouTrack about it
Is there an elevator pitch why PeaZip is better than 7zip?
Sounds like the presenters are assuming that everyone must be using JS in the same way they are. As someone who prefers to work in VanillaJS, I'm already frustrated by all the language changes being forced upon me.
So maybe I agree with them that fewer changes should be made, but for completely different reasons.
I'd rather them work on API improvements so that web apps get closer to parity with native apps. All this other talk is pointless while web apps remain second class IMO

1) drivers should be apps too (Redox and others (even macOS partially) get this right)

2) driver vulnerabilities are there regardless of user setup. Making a user click a UAC button doesn't make the vulnerability disappear
Isn't most non-free stuff installed in /opt or in the user homedir these days anyway?

Outside of browsers this is already how it works. Nothing is stopping LLVM versus GCC from adding their favorite language features, but it's not a disaster.
Government institutions are not meant to be autonomous. Outside of a narrow set of explicitly political positions, everyone who is in government should be apolitical in the carrying out of their duties.
One compelling use case is getting a REPL on any microcontroller with a UART and, say, ≥64K RAM (I remember lbForth[1] being particularly portable, and there are other implementations you could use as well).

I don’t know if you’d want to have that be your first experience with the Forth itself, though: there’s inherent fiddliness involved in bringing up hardware; the win is that Forth doesn’t really add any of its own once you’re vaguely familliar with the internals. If you can get it to boot and send and receive bytes, you can get an interactive Forth on it—or if the available resources don’t permit that, on an imaginary machine spanning it and your PC (a “tethered” Forth).

In India like in many other countries, the judiciary is one of the three branches of government. As an Indian citizen I certainly don't trust the Indian judiciary to be impartial when it comes to literally ANI.
such an asinine but casual remark about the elected government in power without any credible allegations of corruption nor non-functioning.

this was a case between one private news agency (ANI) vs another private foundation WMF in a court of law that's independent of any government influence or intervention. Why should the central government be brought in here in the critic of this dispute? Such nonsense based on hatred and political biases is the primary cause for many problems (in India and world over, the failure to accept the democratically elected governments legitimacy & carrying forth the hate and non-acceptance to put forth remarks & level allegations sans any basis. motivated idiocy unchecked.
Yes, but. It’s the time in-between that people generally want to maximize…and if they’re the kind of person I want to hang out with, they want to help other people maximize their short time as well.
Nice thank you.
It already supports WebAssembly. All browsers do.

Here's a demo of Dart and Flutter compiled to WebAssembly:

https://flutterweb-wasm.web.app/

WebAssembly enables you to use any language. And when you can use any language, why would you use JavaScript?

Google has started migrating parts of Google Sheets to WebAssembly. They're compiling Java to WebAssembly and seeing a 100% performance increase:

Quebec has entered the chat.
Linux also has SELinux, root can't do everything there.
In many ways this has already started happening. TS has enums, Svelte has runes, React has jsx. None of these features exist in JS, they are all compile-time syntax sugar.

While it is admittedly confusing to have all these different flavors of JS, I don’t think this proposal is actually as radical as it seems.
> features to be implemented as a desugaring step in the runtime itself

The problem is distributing the runtime(s). By having developers transpile to a small core, anyone can freely invent new language features without waiting for the rest of the internet to download support for them.
Why the Web Sucks (You Just Don't Know It)
You wouldn’t see much difference as a user of those tools. And if you’re writing vanilla JS, you’d have less features creeping in over time. So it seems like you would benefit from this kind of change.
Suggested Title change: s/wins $250/wins only $250.00/

Regenerative farming practices require not doing what the US ecoomic landscape forced agriculture to become. Corporations were given too much power, allowing them to erode cooperations with with good, varied yield by buying up farms one at a time until the coop as a whole didn't have good, varied yield anymore, and going "oh poor babies let us buy your entire coop, you can keep farming but we, instead of the market, will pay you", and the law went "this is fine, there is no problem here", and it continues to say that to this day.

And I think we all know it, these days.
So you want more rights for code that’s harder to read than obfuscated JS?
That is closely related to autonomy. And the service academies are serious academic institutions. Inviting speakers on military history is very valuable to cadets and midshipmen. Why wouldn't they do it to give their students a broader view of what it means to be an officer?
I started with your position (vanilla js 4ever!) and after being dragged into the world of transpilation via typescript/eslint/prettier/webpack/babel/etc I do agree that it’s at least as easy. Not sure about “easier” but my debugging needs are not exotic. The painful part is initially setting up the toolchain.
There are more computers running Linux on this earth by orders of magnitude.
I wish the following three paragraphs were widely read and understood by all software developers, especially web developers:

> The common wisdom is to maximize productivity when performance is less critical. I agree with this position. When building a web application, performance is a secondary concern to productivity. So why are teams adopting Rust more often where performance is less critical? It is because once you learn Rust, you can be very productive.

> Productivity is complex and multifaceted. We can all agree that Rust's edit-compile-test cycle could be quicker. This friction is countered by fewer bugs, production issues, and a robust long-term maintenance story (Rust's borrow checker tends to incentivize more maintainable code). Additionally, because Rust can work well for many use cases, whether infrastructure-level server cases, higher-level web applications, or even in the client (browser via WASM and iOS, MacOS, Windows, etc. natively), Rust has an excellent code-reuse story. Internal libraries can be written once and reused in all of these contexts.

> So, while Rust might not be the most productive programming language for prototyping, it is very competitive for projects that will be around for years.
