I guess Musk is a bit of a sacred cow around these parts. I suppose I shouldn't have expected anything else from Y Combinator but to run this kind of a Silicon Valley society for m…

What did these people expect, with that doped-up delusional playboy at the helm?

Targeting multiple architectures is a solved problem, as you said with LLVM. I don't know if that's how WASM is currently implemented, as a LLVM front-end, but I'm pretty sure most…

I believe he's talking about attribution, not advertising.

Signature wouldn't mean anything if there was no warranty. In which case warranty is what they sell and the signature is just a minor technical detail. And selling warranty on soft…

Why wouldn't WASM implementations do native compilation? It's the norm for most modern language implementations nowadays, anything else would be silly.

> At this point such a contraption would be less painful than some of Apple's recent transitions (e.g. from PPC to x86). I find that hard to believe. Apple only had to build emulat…

I can't help but think that browser vendors could have at least made an effort to make client certs and Kerberos authentication more user-friendly on the web. Perhaps not so useful…

I like Ellsworth. Very antithetical to what you expect of women in technology.

Maybe not a good idea to use MEMS avionics on a blimp or dirigible, then. Here's the Zeppelin NT cockpit, but I can't tell what kind of gyros they may be using: https://upload.wiki…

Is the spawning overhead comparable to that of Erlang's BEAM?

Their sales organisation is always available to answer technical questions about the model of aircraft, but nothing of that is relevant to any of the journalists who might enquire …

Would you prefer the alternative, "Sorry about the crash. Allow us to run our mouths about things we are not competent to comment on given the presently available information"?

> That's a massive, show-stopping problem. How so? I agree that it's a nontrivial problem to learn a piece of complex software from scratch to the point that you can offer comprehe…

Radical differentiation from competitors is the name of the game for entrepreneurs. Online communities in general and Hacker News in particular have every reason to push back and r…

> "The cloud" is a set of APIs for provisioning but also a bunch of managed services that surround your instances, pub/sub, DNS, load balancers, managed SQL. All of this is almost …

> Except corporate users usually want support. What prevents anyone from offering an enterprise support program for Arch?

> I'd suggest building an auto-upgrade system on top of Arch (or Alpine), and go for immutable infrastructure as the selling point. That's stepping on CoreOS's toes a bit, but I ha…

> The cognitive dissonance is so strong here. Where? Can you give an example of an expression of cognitive dissonance here?

Where do the stars enter into the equation in this parrot astrology?

Does it say anywhere in that manual why the right margin is supposed to be so narrow? I find it very uncomfortable to read texts with very narrow margins.

Is it not possible to refer to someone by the name and pronouns they refer to themselves by not because you believe in the validity of transgenderism, but because that has simply a…
