This. Its been around for over a decade and has all the features mentioned.

Isn't that whats happening to a certain extent with wasm?

> What is the alternative? If cheap labour is no longer possible/desirable, then near fully autonomous factories driven by next-gen AI and robotics becomes significantly more viabl…

From Mozilla's point of view its probably that people might get confused between the old and new themes and wonder why all the highly customisable themes we use to have no longer w…

I don't think its about best practices, its about good design and communication. Even if we are just talking about PhD students, the majority of them are fresh graduates. They are …

RSE's can and often absolutely should be involved at the PhD level. In my experience, collaboration between the scientist and engineer in the process of research iterations almost …

As I mentioned in my other comment, the gun related deaths halved 2 years after the gun laws [1]. Furthermore, in 1996, the gun deaths per capita were 2.84, the homicides were ~650…

Yep, my mistake its 25 years, not 35. Though the difference doesn't negate the point that its been decades since a gun related massacre. That linked source is for all massacres, mo…

Interesting. When compared to places like Australia, where guns are highly regulated and barely anyone owns a gun, such that there have been no mass shootings for 35 years, the sol…

Decoders are notoriously harder to support than encoders due to the various internal formats and encoding/decoding options. Until it supports all the different formats (a lot of ef…

> I get that the most direct way of learning is to make mistakes and learn from those. But there's an easier way too. Read books, talk to people, get the benefit of others experien…

You misunderstand, I'm saying that if Telstra were properly separated right from the start (when the Howard government privatised it), the Rudd government could have easily gotten …

When the Liberals privatised the government owned monopoly telco (now called Tesltra), they didn't properly structurally seperate it in the first place. The government, like NZ, co…

Yep, and try getting the government to pay the billions required to get public transport up to standard to be able to just provide adequate transport for the majority of people in …

I worked for a BLDC company in their research division for a few years and there are many things that can still be improved. At the time we were working on reducing the size of mot…

Due to the publication requirements/incentives, academia greatly favours those who take on short term low risk research that will likely result in a few quick easy papers. Furtherm…

Unless I'm mistaken, if you're using smart pointers, the memory wont be freed until the destructor has executed its code. Use after free should only be an issue if you're using raw…

Whilst I agree it is hard to consistently write safe/secure code in C for increasingly more complex code bases, and that C is no longer the best tool for the job in these cases (th…

Even when only part of a system/process can be automated and it looks like the rest is too hard to automate, doesn't mean there wont be ways around it, or ways to cheat. Just look …

In the second last paragraph the author agrees what you argue in your comment is possible: > Finally, it’s conceivable that the ostensibly tranquil and low-turbulence economy is ma…

One has to wonder if its actually just an AI doing web scraps looking for 'news' and posting a summary or just direct excerpts from the source. Then changing/adding a few things it…

Maybe its not so much that nobody learns, but that its something that is generally best learned through experience. Its hard to self assess and self deception is easy. So society k…
