    The article seems to evaluate Wasm as it were a framework upon which apps are built. It's not that, it's an orthogonal technology allowing CPU optimisations and reuse of native cod…

    Driving is prohibited until a certain age. Parents don't get to discuss this with their child and decide when they're old enough.

    "Can I learn to drive?" "No, you're not old enough" "But my friend is already driving and he's 12" "OK, when you turn 12 you can too."

    We absolutely do need regulation of this harm by the law. It's how we stand together as a society, otherwise one child's rules will seem draconian against their friend's lax parent…

    You can't use spaces to align because you can't assume a monospaced font will always be used. You can't use tabs either for that matter. If you need structure, use the language's p…

    Can it handle "nodes" that emit a different number of audio samples than they consume? I'm thinking of time stretch effects like mine https://github.com/bungee-audio-stretch/bungee…

    That's no excuse for YouTube because (a) audio processing can be done in JS/WASM and (b) they have the influence to improve browser playbackRate implementations to something better…

    If you're learning guitar, drums, piano, trumpet, etc, you'll want to start playing along at about 75% speed then work up until you can play 110% faster than you need to. YouTube's…

    Nice analysis, for 1x playback speed. If you're playing back at a different speed, for example, for music practice, YouTube audio is awful. Why doesn't this huge AV platform use a …

    > Fun fact: Unlicensed stations began streaming jungle music from onboard ships off the coast of Britain, hence the expression "pirate radios." Didn't pirate radio broadcast from b…

    Two thoughts. Suppose I deem it safe and useful for my 6yo to drive for a while, using his Xbox controller from the passenger seat. It is illegal in many countries for a device (or…

    Has that been tested in court? In my jurisdiction?

    I'd be even more gleeful if I was in car insurance. "Openpilot's not covered, your insurance is invalidated."

    The biggest challenge here isn't the tech/standards problem. It's what this signals for the future of the planet's climate.

    The correct solution to this optimization problem is to write the integers raw, not as ASCII.

    Absolutely you can. With WebAsm SIMD you have near-native DSP performance. Downsides from my experience [1]: - You are at the mercy of the browser. If browser engineers mess up the…
