spoiler: has zero to do with quantum entanglement. The author thought that was funny? Cool though

Good thing you commented this. I was genuinely worried.

This should be the article linked. Mods can you switch, the current one behind a subscription wall?

Many reasons. Primarily because of security and control of my information. Secondly because services like these tend to be short-lived and unreliable, if i host it myself i can trust it's there when i need it. And i hadn't considered the uploading time issue mentioned in a previous comment, but that is actually a very good point that self-hosting would solve as well.

I also just want to see the code because i think it's cool

Will this be open-sourced? I'd like the idea of a self-hosted version of this. Good work!

At some point in my CS career i distinctly remember a "flip" i had in how i thought. The revelation was the fact that complexity and more generally information has an infinite number of ways of being represented. Somehow by stating that explicitly i was able to tackle new problems by first asking myself "is there a better model for this that expresses the same information and obeys similar constraints as what i am modeling". I started taking my Calculus notes in "code-like" ways, for example, using while loops and if's, adding arrows and other weird non-math syntax. To me they were more efficient ways of learning and remembering the information

New ways of modeling the same information always excite me. This is fantastic work.

Is it crazy to consider investing in their stocks soon-ish. I totally hate the company but if this is global-minimum i can make some cash pretty easy. I'm relying on the premise that most users will continue to user the site and that this is a short term media frenzy similar to youtube advertiser fiasco.

I liked the sound of this, so i tried to install it. I'm not sure if im just a complete idiot but i can't get it to install. Their liveCD image only lets me connect to WEP/WPA networks, so i can't connect to the WPA2-Enterprise network my school is on. They also don't let you connect to an unsecured endpoint so i cant connect to the alternative network provided.

I also couldn't get it to boot in UEFI, had to switch back to legacy bios. The partition manager is also a little confusing, i can't figure out which sizes to use or how to create them, i like debians ui here alot for this.

I stopped after seeing all that.

I like the idea of focusing on the device problem rather than the transport problem.

I'm personally completely ok with the special devices specific unlock code suggested. It's not universal, and requires the government to go through the company first who at some level at least have a stake in me believing my device is secure.

The insentives seem to work and I still have reasonable security.

I would fail this so hard

I'd hardly say that's the lesson terrorism has taught us. It taught us the people make laws that value security over freedom. I very much disagree that it's the correct response or 'more important'.

I'm tired of hearing about this and would like to see some code so i can actually try it

int i = HashTable::hash(r) table[i].push_back(r);

they hash the data and use that as an index. So by def. That said it's pretty bare and missing _ALOT_

Neat/Funny i guess but not really technically impressive. They took normal C++ code and hid it behind a macro with some names. The actual implementation isn't even there, Hashtable::hash and the 'table' member for example.

I was totally hoping for some fancy templates and macro tricks to compile time gen all the code for a working hashtable implementation.

I wouldn't have been hired for the jobs i've had if it wasn't for my Github. I don't think false-negatives should lead you to disregard the ability to find that perfect developer. Is it not your responsibility as a developer to keep an accurate portfolio of your skill set?

This seems...absurd, from the conversation linked:

Question: "Does this mean that today I can create a new (non existing in the native spec) method, add it in the native object, using it in a certain percentage of websites and force TC39 to change it's future implementation thus essentially hijacking the language evolution process?"

Response: "What that means is that yes, you can create a new nonexistent method, use it in a certain percentage of websites, and actively destroy any proposal trying to add that method name. I hope you don't do that, because that would be pretty sociopathic, but that's absolutely how the process works, and will continue to work for the foreseeable future.

We've made tons of progress with this constraint, and we'll continue to make progress with it."

That does not seem like a sensible constraint for language design. Just say the method name is reserved for goodness sake, you are the ONLY people who get to exercise that power.

It seems like Vulkan is being pushed really hard lately. Is it possible it might become THE cross-platform graphics interface and we start seeing truly platform agnostic games?

Someone sue them please

I legitimately do not understand why people expose themselves on social media like this! I was 12 or so when i got my first social media, and even back THEN i knew that posting the wrong thing would get be in trouble with my friends, parents, or even school. It blows my mind that full grown adults use such devisive language in a public setting. You have to KNOW that what you are doing is dumb and risky. Not to mention she works in writing, which is a job that's at least partially about YOUR PUBLIC IMAGE, i mean really this is first grade "if you don't have anything nice to say don't say it at all...[ESPECIALLY IF YOUR LIVELYHOOD DEPEND ON YOUR IMAGE]"

Reading the comment by @meri_dian I initially thought "ok she had a non-pc racist friend and supported them. Then by association she was deemed to risky for NYTimes". That by itself is a not "character damning" to her, but you can see how a company would want to distance themselves.

Then i read her actual tweets, where she actually called people slurs. That is not defend-able, and I think she deserves it.

This is so cool. I can't wait untill holo-lens like device become cheap and ubiquitous

I don't think that's absurd at all. WebASM really should be the ASM of the web, everything should be compiled to it. A little pre-compilation of JS to WebASM makes sense to me

Caching of compiled code! As i read it they want to cache the wasm bytecode at the client level. What if servers did the caching instead? Group clients by the architectures they use and serve the cached bytecode to the right 'groups' of clients.

It's similar to the common problem of crossing a river + walking on shore: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-phqoALu_44

@artpar can you post some docs on the endpoints and how they should be used. I want to tie this into a speech to text system but i need more api info

C++ 11, nice. Does anyone use this? And if you do how does it compare to alternatives

I've used this debugger for quite a while. It's excellent. Clean UI, feature rich, and all around stable. The UI is familiar (kinda like olly), but also new fealing. Highly recommend

Serious question unrelated to the article. Why are half of these comments being flagged?

People might not like it but i really think native apps are going to die once everyone figures out how to optimize this crazy web stack.

This title needs fixed. I had no idea what I was clicking on

Oh my I feel so sorry for apple security engineer's right now. I'm curious the motivations to release such a serious, and complex, 0day on new years eve!? Makes me wonder who brushed this guy the wrong way, or if he just wants to watch the world burn.

That said, seriously impressive work and I give him props.
