There's a difference between a handful of sites that use wasm and it being the mainstream way in which we write web applications and run hosted software. It's still a very very niche platform that has not fulfilled its promise of either being a first party web tool or a universal runtime.

Like, how easy is it to write a web application in Wasm? Or how easy is it to compile your average program written for a native platform to Wasm without hand picking your dependencies to work on the platform?
My son had cancer during COVID, though he was fortunate enough to beat it into remission (with the help of a huge care team).

I was active duty military, and he is also non-verbal and autistic.

The things she talks about, how focused she was and how hard it is to do any of that now, I've been experiencing exactly the same things. I find it hard to do anything, put anything together, etc. after 3 years of managing his care closely, being at his bedside all hours, having to scream at nurses to call away a code because he couldn't breathe (anaphylaxis), and a ton of other things. All of this while working 50+ hours a week, including remotely from his bedside.

It's like I burnt out that part of me. Maybe I'm slowly healing? But I don't feel like it. I get minutes or hours when I can hit that stride again and it's absolutely terrifying to realize that I can no longer keep it up.

I don't know that this comment adds anything to her story. I just felt like I understood her on a level that's hard to communicate and had the urge to share that.
I love your take on WFH!
You're right as far as the MSJ is concerned, and I should've been more precise. I was focusing on the dictum in the preceding paragraph (because we're discussing the broader implications of the order rather than the nuts-and-bolts of the instant motion). In that paragraph, the judge wrote:

> More than that, each headnote is an individual, copyrightable work. That became clear to me once I analogized the lawyer’s editorial judgment to that of a sculptor. A block of raw marble, like a judicial opinion, is not copyrightable. Yet a sculptor creates a sculpture by choosing what to cut away and what to leave in place. That sculpture is copyrightable. 17 U.S.C. §102(a)(5). So too, even a headnote taken verbatim from an opinion is a carefully chosen fraction of the whole. Identifying which words matter and chiseling away the surrounding mass expresses the editor’s idea about what the important point of law from the opinion is. That editorial expression has enough “creative spark” to be original. ... So all headnotes, even any that quote judicial opinions verbatim, have original value as individual works.

I personally don't think this sculpture metaphor works for verbatim quotes from judicial opinions.

Unlikely as that was whenever you stopped having to write Xorg.conf by hand, ie the mid 2000s.

No it wont. It's incredibly hard to build out a fully useful version of the Linux APIs, as shown to us by Cygwin, and WSL. Even if you built out a similar set of APIs, Linux itself offers a ridiculous set of interaction points where applications can tie together (for example, I can use inotifywatch to copy files out of my container as they're written). I feel like what you'll end up with is something like gvisor running on top of WASM. In which case, what did we gain from VMs at all?

> Mercurial & Sapling: There are many Mercurial-inspired features, such as the revset language to select commits. There is no explicit index or staging area. Branches are "anonymous" like Mercurial, so you don't need to make up a name for each small change. Primitives for rewriting history are powerful and simple. Formatting output is done with a robust template language that can be configured by the user.

Can anyone explain why people want something like JJ? Is it simplicity? I actually quite like the staging and index in git. Although it took me a while to grok.

Looking at the other thread though I don't think it's more simple. It's just different.

WASM will be that but tenfold surely? You would need to program against a completely new interface.
Interesting, this post now appears to be shadow banned? For me it shows up mid-way through the front page, but for logged-out it doesn't show up at all.
It’s just a tough spot to be in: libgit2 has always worked a bit differently than the binaries, gix is incomplete. Ideally gix will be good enough that it could just be used, but things aren’t there yet.

I run my personal site off of Hugo. You can load some decent themes and adding new content is a relatively painless process.

But I do feel like there is a cost to using static site generators. Raw HTML is easier to work with if you aren't dealing with a lot of similar pages.
If those 4 aspects are used to judge whether "fair use", I'd say that's the nail in the coffin, because of course it isn't fair use and that's totally fair. Here I was thinking "transformative" was somehow a sticking point in all this.
I vividly remember how I was young and stupid, and some people claimed that web components would replace everything. There was a guy in another team who kept bashing us for building things on top of React because "you'll see, very soon, in just a few months...just like you're having to rebuild from Angular, and someone before you had to rebuild from Backbone/jQuery..."

I've grown less young since then, and I can probably count numerous other claims for some great idea to replace "all this crap very soon." Turns out, "one-size-fits-all" solutions are almost always hype, sometimes not even backed up with pragmatic arguments. There are simply no silver bullets in our industry, especially in relation to web tech. Guess what? Some websites are still being built with jQuery, and maybe there's nothing wrong with that.

No, WASM not going to replace containers. At best, it will likely find its specific niches rather than becoming a universal solution. That's all.
wonder if temperature and durability will be issues on the side of a bus...
I was reflecting just yesterday how, as we get older, gradually more and more of those who have been part of our sphere for significant portions of our lives (whether direct acquaintances, or just people who we know because of their public actions) begin to leave us, and how everyone who passes, whoever they are and however well we knew them, leaves a space that can't be filled.

I'm truly sorry for all that you've been through and I hope you find comfort. Reading through your other post it seems likely to me that nothing you said or did could have made any difference.
Having a child is hard, so having a child by yourself must be harder. All I know is that our hearts don't fill up and can always fit more love.
Yes and No.

Check out the WASI repository. For people not understanding what WASI is, I always tell them it's something like a reference/specification of cross platform syscalls that have to be implemented in WASM VMs.

Of course, access to such things always come with assumptions of control and policies that rely on behavioral analysis. So I hope that something similar to host and web application firewall rules will come out of this, similar to how deno does it.

Yeah and that's where it makes a lot of sense. Less sense is replacing containers where you're using much more of the stack. FaaS hasn't replaced VMs, Kubernetes, Containers, etc, so it seems unlikely that WASM would for similar reasons.
Who elected Elon?

When was Trump elected to Congress to change the law?

You may like the specific actions they are taking, but imagine someone you don't like doing the action. The Rule of Law is a core principle of the US secret sauce, and they are violating it.
Finally! No more going to the ancient account to restore some really old purchases. Now, not sure if I should keep separate accounts still for different countries. I know you can access the store from another country, but the switching is cumbersome compared to just logging in with it; some apps like one of my banks, just don't publish their app on countries where they don't operate, and when the autoupdate fails with the default login, I just use input the other one and it gets the update from the correct store.

On a related note, something interesting, but not sure if it can be reproduced anymore: there are universal ones like this Huawei smart app back in 2019, for the smart band and bathroom scale I had at the time. I had to download it from my country's store for a simple signup/login process, because if I did it from the US store, it always needed a phone number. They worked the same, and I'm pretty sure it was the same app (as in the ID, app bundle, and all that... not a different app for the other market) Could that have been possible?

If we had gone (or stayed) peer to peer we could have done it, rather than going the expensive client server model. Server farms require funding; peer to peer doesn't.
Cheers -- thank you for shipping such amazing software at a time where the Mac was always "second class" or shunned from other communities. For once we had a seriously badass exclusive thing and it came at JUST the right time in my life. I have SO many stories, running my own servers, making friends, sharing my music and discovering new music from around the world (as I already mentioned), connecting me with people who influenced my career and interests...

Do you remember David Raufeisen ("FORTYoz")? I believe he created hx, if I recall correctly. It turned out he lived in the Vancouver area as well, and at the time I REALLY wanted to try Linux, BSD, whatever (and was asking for help on some HL server), and he gave me his personal phone number so I could call him and get help from him. It turned out neither of the two Macs I had were supported by ANY *nix variant (not even A/UX or anything), so I was out of luck, but I'll never forget his kind gesture, and my much-later realization of his significance in the HL community.
The word "fascism" appears nowhere in the source article.
I noticed the same. What a guy.
After many iterations of tools, systems, and processes, I have settled on writing in plain text, in Markdown, to identify headings, paragraphs, quotes, images, etc.

My reasoning and approach is that I or someone should be able to read it as it is and then have a tool parse it to spit out HTML for browsers, helping others read it with a better experience.

With thousands of posts, it would be complex for me to maintain them in HTML. Now, my blog is powered by Jekyll because of GitHub pages. However, I can quickly switch to any other tool with minor tweaks.

Locally, I see my blog posts as individual files with dates `YYYY-MM-DD` and the title in their yearly folder `YYYY`. Some are in `WIP`, which I can continue to update/write. The `future` folder contains the ones that are drafts, but I can see them and don't mind if someone stumbles on them. Always a work in progress and am even aiming to simplify it further.
Check out WASI, it's exactly what you are talking about.
God on Clayton to publish his thoughts on his own blog!

That said, he's throwing the baby out with the bath water and making convoluted claims. I agree with some of them, but I'll exercise my desire to write more and reply:

> My hope is that I’ll take advantage of this and start writing more!

Choosing to self-publish one's blog is already at odds with "I'm doing this to write more". So blaming handwritten HTML for added friction is not so fair.

Literally writing every single page of HTML is unnecessarily strict. As another commenter mentions, why not add a few client-side templates for header/footer, a global nav etc.

Jekyll is really not a very ergonomic static site generator. I got GitHub famous for a hot-second because I wrote a little framework to help: https://github.com/jekyllbootstrap. TLDR: Jekyll is famous because the cofounder of GitHub made it. Not really because it's the best or even a good implementation. It's neat, it's just, why would you use that if you have access to a fully ruby runtime.

Anyway, I love hand-writing HTML so my bias out. I don't think it's HTML's fault. HTML is super easy to write, as OP agrees.

I made my own little website framework (of course); it's not ready for prime-time but you can peruse here: https://plusjade.com/demos/index.html
I actually didn't mind COM and DCOM. I didn't overuse it, so it never bit me.
I guess it's why I love using Microsoft Orleans. The virtual actor model is enough for me to solve almost every problem. If Cloudflare Durable Objects (https://developers.cloudflare.com/durable-objects) can reduce latency they might have the winning product.
From a certain perspective Allied warfare was simply a extremely vociferous insistence on the rule of law.

That aside, an argument could be made that if the rule of law had been more forcefully adhered to in their early days, Hitler and the Nazi Party could have been stopped before the gears of war had started to turn.
I'm sympathetic to the simplicity argument. I've recently had to help someone who's new to coding with some getting-started-with-git issues, and it's definitely reminding me of the appeal of a system that you can't screw up in various interesting manners and then need someone who understands its inner workings to fix.
How about you share information about these "vast amounts of waste"? That would certainly help us discuss them!
Haha, that was awesome
While not quite the same, my partner was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer a few months ago, a few days after my daughter's 1st birthday.

I think one thing I worry about is my daughter possibly not growing up with a mother. Like how that will affect her.

It's been traumatic for myself personally, but it hasn't been ...I'm still highly functional and I'm still continuing to live life to the fullest.
You can still use a similar workflow as with the index. The difference is that the staging area is modeled as a commit, so it's not another concept that will take a while to grok.

Same with the working copy.
Millions of dollars worth of subscriptions for reporting on government press releases with added spin seems like a great example of waste to me... The government shouldn't be paying any media outlets purely due to the conflict of interest, regardless.

> Or are we to believe that competence is just arbitrarily cross-applicable?

I would wager that even you are more competent than the average auditor, assuming you know how to program. I'm seeing a lot of appeals to authority and credentialism, and assumptions that people who are hired by bureaucrats and politicians to audit themselves have better aligned incentives than a wildcard entrepreneur. If we can't agree on the fundamental axioms, I don't see this conversation going anywhere.
Don't worry, I'm sure they've got a final solution in mind.
Qrcodes are not visible on Tor Browser.
Presumably you'd have an array of 'slow' ion thrusters upstream of your test article in your vacuum chamber to generate your flow. Matching temperature and velocity profile exactly is probably fairly tricky, but producing nominally 8km/s of very dilute gas shouldn't be particularly difficult.
Mussolini was famously turned upside down by one such tirade.
I did the same once, or similar - I took an external 500mb SCSI HDD to a family friend's office so I could load up stuff from my favorite servers at then-mind-boggling speeds, on their trusty G3 if I recall correctly. I couldn't believe how fast the transfers were! Definitely loaded up that drive hahaha :)
Some pretty bold claims with what I felt was shaky justification and a simplistic understanding of the foundations.

>> I am a software developer for a top 100 app. I've written code you've probably used. That makes me qualified to say stuff.

Ah... that explains a bunch of it.
I can definitely relate to building towards an easier "write -> publish" workflow. My old site is still running WordPress but I just got frustrated with the overall feeling of oppressive heaviness to the whole framework (no shade on WP, I still really like it).

I switched over to a similar process but opted for Pelican (since I'm more familiar with Python vs Rust) which builds directly off my markdown notes in Obsidian so it's relatively WYSIWYG. Much easier to maintain and Github Actions automatically handle updates.

Does this mean that NTFS filesystems are affected, even if using from a PowerShell or cmd.exe window, if you are aware? I use git bash or PowerShell daily, but have only used WSL directly for certain processes I am more familiar with in bash than on Windows shells. I've done quite a bit of text processing in WSL, where I just have more experience in the tooling on Linux/bash shell than in Windows, even though I often write dotnet software that runs on Windows, yet uses the open source dotnet and it could run on Linux with a few changes (like making sure I can access MS SQL Server on Azure from Linux, or run MS SQL Server for Linux - I haven't done this, and the CMS I currently use only supports SQLite for development, but require MS SQL Server for production). I might be able to get away with using SQLite for production by only allowing a single user to make edits at a time, and using heavy caching.

I came from a world of Mercurial, and I would love to be able to commit very often, and then be able to squash all those commits into a single commit. I feel git rebase does that, but I haven't been able to truly grok how to do that without running the possibility of completely destroying all changes I've made. I can't lose a giant feature (which is what I generally build) that may take an entire week to build, because I used the wrong git rebase command. I would love to be able to change an individual file and commit it to compare against new changes, but then pull all of these temporary changes/commits and merge/squash them all into a single commit, in case I need to rollback everything due to some breaking update.
In America - the only jurisdiction that matters in this case - defamation requires knowingly lying or having "a reckless disregard for the truth". If UHC actually sued Elisabeth Potter, they'd lose, although she'd also lose because she would have had to pay at least five figures for a competent defense.

But if you really want to talk about other jurisdictions, there's plenty of opportunities for censorious fuckery. Just off the top of my head (and limited to capital-W Western[0] countries):

- English defamation law is notorious for having a low bar for legal action.

- Japanese defamation law only exempts true statements that are in the "public interest".

> To mimic real-world development, HackerRank’s ASTRA Benchmark Dataset includes, on average, 12 source code and configuration files per question as model inputs.

How is 12 files "real-world development"? My hobby project currently has 142 files and most non-trivial changes would involve adding a new file. My small work project has 79 and similarly, any non-trivial changes will need to add a file. These are small codebases. My previous team was ~450k lines across ~thousands of files, and we managed that pretty effectively with 6 engineers.

Getting the right answer out of an LLM for these sorts of tasks is fine if you give it little enough context that it's an effectively greenfield task as most of these problems end up being. But giving them a whole codebase and expecting the right answer, or the process of choosing the right subset to give them, are still big unsolved problems.

At this point it honestly feels a bit like gaslighting, suggesting that a 12 file NodeJS server is representative of software engineering.

I've read a few small overviews of jj. One thing that's off-putting as a git lover is that while git is truly append-only (except refs), jj seems quite "mutable" by comparison.

Say I'm messing around with the commit that introduced a bug, somewhere deep in the history. With git, it's basically impossible to mess up the repo state. Even if I commit, or commit --amend, my downstream refs still point to the old history. This kind of sucks for making stacked PRs (hello git rebase -i --autosquash --update-refs) but gives me a lot of confidence to mess around in a repo.

With jj, it seems like all I would have to do is forget to "jj new" before some mass find+replace, and now my repo is unfixable. How does jj deal with this scenario?
They're different things, solving different problems:

- Containers are wrappers for binaries. Any binary can be contained, and when run, it gets a constrained (fake) view of the kernel.

- WASM defines a portable binary format. WASM is intermediate-representation, in the same vein as Java byte-code.

You could reasonably put WASM binaries inside containers
