    Wasm has a fundamental problem: int64 is an insufficient data type for real use cases. If you want to create some kind of plugin system based on Wasm, you need to exchange structured data. But most languages disagree about the memory layout. Dynamic languages do tagging, compiled languages do not. And the UTF issue shows that even with strings, there's still no real agreement.

    Furthermore, there are now competing interest groups within the Wasm camp. Wasm originally launched as a web standard: an extension of the JavaScript environment. However, some now want to use Wasm as the basis for replacing containers: an extension of a POSIX environment.

    The data exchange between host and guest is still unspecified. You can not access host objects from Wasm. Most do just string serialization, which is not fast. Or they write libraries for some particular languages, which damages the universal idea of Wasm. And WASI seems to be quite controversial: https://www.assemblyscript.org/standards-objections.html

    The spacing issue isn't working quite right yet.

    Click-bait title for pay-wall spam?

    Can you give a reference for ECC? I can not find anything about ECC support on the Odroid site.

    And now "absolute rot and chaos" is in "~/.config". What is the difference?

    I think the XDG spec is pretty petty. What difference does it make that the files are in ~/.config/mozilla instead of ~/.mozilla? And calling it a bug is presumptuous.

    I had to upvote right after this sentence: "I wanted to be able to play the EGA version of Monkey Island 1 on it"

    How does "impresses no one" and writing a blog article fits together?

    This was my first dark mode: https://www.dosforum.de/viewtopic.php?t=12253 Been there, done that. A black background is generally more tiring for the eyes. A black background means less light. Less light means the eye's aperture has to open wider. A wider aperture means less depth of field. Less depth of field means the eye has to work harder to focus. There are reasons for using a black background on a mobile phone, as it can save energy. But for any device that has a power adapter, a black background is simply self-flagellation.

    Is there anyone in the world who hasn't cut their negatives into strips? https://www.beauphoto.com/product/printfile-archival-negativ... The ability to scan an entire film seems rather useless to me in light of that.

    "stage 1: transactional semantics" sounds like pure nonsense. How can a terminal have transactions if the OS does not have them?

    Is this Windows only?

    According to Shannon, the measure of the information content of a news story is the improbability with which the event occurs. This means that rare events automatically have a higher information content than frequently occurring events. Even though I generally don't think much of the media, one has to acknowledge that in this case the media should focus more on rarer events.

    The problem is not Denmark. It is the lack of democracy in the EU itself. The European Commission has no democratic legitimacy.

    It is so slow:

      $ sudo wc -l /var/log/syslog
  4982 /var/log/syslog
  
  $ sudo cat /var/log/syslog | bash -c "time gonzo"
  
  real    6m13,359s

    Where is the official source repository for the OS? Can just find the outdated and non-functional Google repository.

    It is not sufficient to crawl the API. The client also needs to know how to display the forms, which collect the data for the links presented by the API. If you want to crawl the API you also have the crawl the whole client GUI.

    Where does the data go?

    The program isn't particularly helpful for me because my workflow doesn't map out at all. First, we collect sights that we (the group!) want to see. Then everyone prioritizes what is more and less important to them. Then we check what discounts there are on public transport and which tourist tickets are available. This creates constraints as to what we might have to do on the same day. Then we sort the sights on the map. This creates further constraints as to what we have to do on the same day. And then we try to reconcile all of these constraints and interests by spreading the sights out over the days. I have no idea how I could do that with your program.

    When I read "Avoid inheritance" in a text about Go, I can't help but get the impression that the text also comes from Claude.
