I came here to say this. Part of learning is social interaction. Learning happens on both sides, from the teacher and the student. In a world of AI everywhere, off-line social inte…

Yup. WASM lacks the "domain specific" acceleration available to native code. So you miss out on any hardware codec support. Same is true for openSSL, there is a bunch of encryption…

There are compelling applications for WASM in the embedded space, here we run C / C++ applications and WASM supports this well. We can also run other languages compiled to WASM too…

unfortunately wasi-threads is deprecated. You'll need to wait for threading support from "core-wasm" and that's a while off, there is no date on the horizon for this, as far as I k…

The WebAssembly standard breaks into two parts, "core WASM" which is the spec the browsers use and everyone else. Then in the non-browser space there is WASI (system interface spec…

No, blogging won't return. Not in the same way as before. In the days of the dial up modem the written word was king. Twitter originally had SMS as a communication mechanism. But l…

Yes and the Neobanks, both N26 and Revolute rely on fact that financial regulators across the block recognise each other, so N26 regulated in Germany can operate in Ireland. Etc.

From a technology point of view there is a lesson in how a company controls the media it's customers consume. How alternative sources of data get discredited and how untrusted the …

> Next thing you know each wasm assembly will need a package format to ship assets with and have the app server provide common resources to all assemblies, e.g. db connection pools…

That's civil war talk right there... :)

Reminds me of when Microsoft and Sony where going head to head with consoles, and Microsoft tried to introduce a marketplace for selling or sharing a game. The resulting advert fro…

Public buy printers. Good printers last a long time. Printer company offers online services (drivers / patches / APIs - see original post) which have on gong cost. But revenue stop…

Harsh, but fair.

I worked on Symbian aka EPOC around the early to mid 2000. Trips down to London to visit their offices. I'm still connected to some of the guys on Facebook from that time. It was o…

If what he says is true, then legally, the issue is with Google. It is Google he had the contract with. The contract allowed Google to terminate his data service, which they did. H…

Many see just the headline, draw conclusion and may then repost / share, many more read only the headline. Click-bate headlines will fall foul. Robby (article author) - just write …

UK prawn laws? - proposed and then dropped?

You've just reminded me of how much I rely upon a free service provide something so critical to my everyday life. Time to move to a paid service where I can have someone to call wh…

@bananabat This is awesome, your write up put the biggest freaking smile on my face. Like you, it is something I've always wanted to do and put off, now 43 and still got to get bac…

Each week, my sons aged 9 (3rd grade) and 7 (2nd grade) receive a set of words to remember and every Friday they get a spelling test. Neither of them are big fans of spelling tests…

Unikernels are probably best compared to RTOS that are used in embedded systems. They dramatically reduce the guest operating system overhead for virtual machines. As the weight of…

You know, I've been doing a lot of linux / ssh work recently, and I'd love to have something in the console that could give me more of a graphical interface. The midnight commander…
