Agreed. Why would a person need to look it up when the name literally describes it. Directed? Means connections are in a single direction. Acyclic? A-cyclic = non-cyclical, doesn’t have cycles. Graph is… well a graph.

Which part does the author think an average programmer should struggle with?

Most games, image processing libraries and other compute demanding libraries already use WASM in the browser. Have been for quite some time. It’s already widely used in every case where it provides a substantial benefit.

But writing for GUI, which is what 99% of JS is used for, WASM provides little benefit. The speed bottleneck is mostly in DOM manipulation. And every web GUI framework uses 200 npm packages with something like webpack. Getting that to somehow work with your WASM code would be a nightmare if it’s even feasible.

Everything “woke” about this movie was conspicuously missing from the trailers or any promotional material. The marketing for this film has been incredibly well handled.

Because he wants to be the original, damn it!

“But mom, I want to be a Tesla founder!”

“You weren’t there when Tesla was founded”

“I want it anyway, waaaah!”.

He has the emotional maturity of a spoiled child. Once you see it, everything he does makes 10x more sense.

I am sure Anarchy will lead us to a humanitarian utopia. Definitely not to an even worse form of capitalism. No, sir.

Your analogy doesn’t work at all.

The answer you’re being asked for needs to be a solution (what can replace capitalism?). The answer in your analogy is an observation (the plane crashed).

It’s fine to not have answers, but then your position is pretty useless. A societal system is a mandatory component of our lives. You can’t get rid of it without it being replaced with something else. If we don’t replace it, then one will arise naturally.

To follow your cancer example, it’s like a cancer patient saying they don’t want chemo or radiation because it’s not good enough. When they are asked what they want to do instead they just say “I don’t have answers, I just know these treatments aren’t very good”.

Winston Churchill is quoted saying

Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those others that have been tried.

Pretty much the same applies to capitalism.

but being able to decide after the fact that you want a heated steering wheel isn’t one of them.

No one is bitching about being able to decide that you want a heated steering wheel. You can decide to install it on literally any car brand or model.

People are bitching about the hardware that they have paid for and they own being locked behind by a software paywall. This would cause a riot with practically any other consumer electronics. Imagine if the fingerprint scanner on your smartphone was an extra $50 to unlock? Or quick charge being an extra $75?

That would be the most anti-consumer horseshit we’ve seen, and that’s exactly what Tesla is doing.

when “men” were portrayed as being simultaneously incompetent at everything they do, and at the same time manipulative and power hungry

Can’t help but be reminded of something.

On a basic level the message “Ken was silly, broke Barbieworld because he wanted to emulate men, they had to get Barbie and a feminist back to fix it”

How did he break it? He basically just flipped the genders so Kens are the ruling/working class and Barbies are just subservient eye candy. Barbie just flipped it back. It’s a broken and unimaginably unfair world in either case.

When Kens ask just for a bit of equality at the end, they are shut down and given some unimportant appeasement as a joke.

That’s how communism always ends up. When you hand over majority of the power to the state, it won’t be keen on giving it back.

That’s like saying the US is not capitalist because we don’t have a true free market and better products/services don’t always rise to the top.

These simply aren’t things that can practically happen, just like the workers owning the means of production.

No. The movie is very antagonistic towards men. I don’t think anyone who has seen the movie can dispute that in good faith.

Practically every male character in both the Barbie world and the real world is portrayed negatively. There are a few exceptions that are portrayed neutrally but they are mostly plot or exposition devices.

Conversely, practically every female character is portrayed positively. This creates a stark contrast that’s very difficult to ignore.

To be clear - personally I don’t care, it takes more to rile me up. But hating a movie that is deliberately spiteful towards your demographic is not an abnormal reaction. Neither is “slamming” the people who made it.

The idea is that the film is causing a knee jerk reaction in men who are otherwise prone to hiding their misogyny.

Why would a knee jerk reaction be any indication of misogyny? The movie is very antagonistic towards men. The proposition that having a negative reaction to that is misogyny is absurd.

Define “mad”. I’ve watched it (arrr) myself and The Barbie movie is very political, despite them completely hiding it in the trailers and the promotional material.

Fervent political media tends to rile people up, especially when it’s very one-sided. I presume you haven’t seen it and think people are upset over a light hearted comedy.

The tool that disables bloat is the LTSC edition. You can get windows 10 enterprise LTSC right now. Windows 11 LTSC is scheduled to leak in the second half of 2024.

Maybe he prefers to hand over his data to Google rather than Microsoft.

I remember Reddit was overwhelmingly united behind Depp; I assumed that Heard was in the right.

This is just incredibly intellectually lazy, to put it nicely. I don’t suppose you think climate change is a hoax, trump is a reasonable guy, and Russia is in the right? Those stances are the opposite of what reddit is overwhelmingly behind.

Asking random commenters to tell you what to think isn’t much better. The trial is public, there are plenty of highligh compilations. If you don’t have the time for that, you can read the verdict. The legal system and the jury are surely the better judges than randos on the internet.

Also it’s kind of ironic that you reject the popular opinion of reddit, only to come and ask for popular opinion on a reddit replacement.

Explain this

Pitbulls are responsible for 60% of all injuries and 63% of ocular injuries. Pitbull attacks have higher morbidity rates, higher hospital charges, and a higher risk of death than attacks by other breeds. During 2005-2017, pit bulls killed one citizen every 16.7 days, totaling up to 284 Americans

https://coloradoinjurylaw.com/blog/dog-bite-statistics/

In the 10 years from 2009 to 2018, pit bulls killed or maimed 3,569 people in the USA and Canada. (Merritt Clifton, Dog Attack Deaths & Maimings, U.S. & Canada, 1982-2018 Log.) They killed over 80% of all Americans who are killed by dogs. (Colleen Lynn, 2015 U.S. Dog Bite Fatalities, at http://www.dogsbite.org/dog-bite-statistics-fatalities-2015.php.)

Published, peer-reviewed studies in authoritative journals of psychology and forensic science establish that pit bull owners as a whole – statistically – are more likely to be socially deviant, engage in crimes involving children, domestic violence, alcohol abuse, and violent crimes against other persons.

Compression artifacts will exist as long as we use lossy video compression. You can however eliminate visible to the eye artifacts with high enough bitrate, but that has always been the case.

Considering the ungodly size of raw video or even video with lossless compression, we will need lossy compression for the next century.

It will only change if the bandwidth and storage become practically free, which would require some unforseen breakthrough in technology.

This is quite a bit worse than kicking a puppy. Of course, it’s horrible when puppies get kicked but ultimately they will be on. This, on the other hand would be a major set back to humanity, potentially permanent as our rights and privacy are erroded day by day.
