Can someone explain this to a non-cat person? I’m guessing one of the two boxes is a litter box.

Then we’d be extinct you mean.

Thankfully it’s still in the uncanny valley.

Took me a minute. And for good measure… ;

These tables existed long before we were drinking coffee in Europe and America. What did we call them then? Low tables? End tables? Baby tables??

the future of complex web apps*

I can see in-browser games and containerized desktop application benefiting from wasm, but simple ecommerce sites without all the fluff can be just as performant with SSR or a multi-page application. For instance several years ago I built the frontend and middleware for the Hart Tools and Ryobi Tools websites using Nuxt for SSR and Algolia for the search. Images are the majority of CPU and network load and the websites are snappy as a result. Even this tech stack is overkill for what the websites need to do but my point is for general use case this or a similar tech stack won’t benefit from introducing wasm.

Is that a yes or no question, or merely a suggestion?

Let’s get everybody on WET, in fact, let’s just call it UTC and be done with time zones.

Since he’s touching the keyboard with unwashed hands it’s probably best he didn’t wipe.

Two gripes about on the cube rule; It doesn’t readily differentiate between topology of a dish and a single serving. It could very well add more dimensions to the identification model besides topology, there are plenty of other factors that define the portability and experience of eating a food (let’s face it, that’s what the debate of identification was really about this whole time.)

I would highly recommend the History of English Podcast. This particular observation made by OP is thoroughly covered in this particular episode: https://youtu.be/T0ED-FV7O50

Even setting up a vlan doesn’t work half the time because the mobile apps don’t talk directly with the appliance but phone home to a cloud service. A cloud service that will eventually go offline and leave the appliances orphaned. That’s how GE’s thermostats work.

I think you’re underestimating how impossible a task it is for China to hit a moving target. Even so, their move towards isolationism is at odds with an industry that has the most complex and globally integrated supply chain in existence.

Best name to call it is to just not call it anything. Don’t talk about it. Let it die.

Upvoting a classic. Watch his other talks too. Entertaining and thought provoking.

But it’s Linus so everybody likes to think everything he says is blunt and crass.

problem is the late stages of the game the password requirements change when your password’s emojis start catching fire.

Same reason tiktok and instagram reels are overlaid with that dumb wheezing laugh track.

For some reason I first read the title as “journalists take to archiving their own hands” and thought this was some morbid kind of protest.
