Now imagine how limited computers are with their ability to count to only 1.

I didn't know browser vendors supported WASI! I said that as some of us do not use WASI at all, just WebAssembly itself, so they can save some time by not reading this if they're n…

I agree, my personal take: if you don't want to get your hands dirty, WebAssembly is not ready for you yet. It'll take at least 5 more years before the tooling gets into a state wh…

Just had it too, refreshing worked.

It really depends on what you're using. If you use Rust with `wasm32-unknown-unknown`, you'll likely get small binaries (<200 kB). If you use C++ and Emscripten with all features e…

An allocator is free to only `mmap` addresses that are within a range. I think jemalloc could allow you to do that using custom arenas.

Makes it easy to migrate from containers to VMs using the same tooling.

That makes a lot of sense, thank you!

If this was intentional, shouldn't it also affect `mach_absolute_time` which is used by the standard libraries of most languages and accessible to Swift? Also note you can get prec…

I believe `CACurrentMediaTime` depends on `QuartzCore.framework` and `Date` is not monotonic. I would also find it confusing if I found code doing something like network retries us…
