Agreed. Why would a person need to look it up when the name literally describes it. Directed? Means connections are in a single direction. Acyclic? A-cyclic = non-cyclical, doesn't have cycles. Graph is... well a graph.

Which part does the author think an average programmer should struggle with?

Most games, image processing libraries and other compute demanding libraries already use WASM in the browser. Have been for quite some time. It's already widely used in every case where it provides a substantial benefit.

But writing for GUI, which is what 99% of JS is used for, WASM provides little benefit. The speed bottleneck is mostly in DOM manipulation. And every web GUI framework uses 200 npm packages with something like webpack. Getting that to somehow work with your WASM code would be a nightmare if it's even feasible.

Everything "woke" about this movie was conspicuously missing from the trailers or any promotional material. The marketing for this film has been incredibly well handled.

That's how communism always ends up. When you hand over majority of the power to the state, it won't be keen on giving it back.

That's like saying the US is not capitalist because we don't have a true free market and better products/services don't always rise to the top.

These simply aren't things that can practically happen, just like the workers owning the means of production.

Maybe he prefers to hand over his data to Google rather than Microsoft.

I remember Reddit was overwhelmingly united behind Depp; I assumed that Heard was in the right.

This is just incredibly intellectually lazy, to put it nicely. I don't suppose you think climate change is a hoax, trump is a reasonable guy, and Russia is in the right? Those stances are the opposite of what reddit is overwhelmingly behind.

Asking random commenters to tell you what to think isn't much better. The trial is public, there are plenty of highligh compilations. If you don't have the time for that, you can read the verdict. The legal system and the jury are surely the better judges than randos on the internet.

Also it's kind of ironic that you reject the popular opinion of reddit, only to come and ask for popular opinion on a reddit replacement.

Explain this

Pitbulls are responsible for 60% of all injuries and 63% of ocular injuries. Pitbull attacks have higher morbidity rates, higher hospital charges, and a higher risk of death than attacks by other breeds. During 2005-2017, pit bulls killed one citizen every 16.7 days, totaling up to 284 Americans

https://coloradoinjurylaw.com/blog/dog-bite-statistics/

In the 10 years from 2009 to 2018, pit bulls killed or maimed 3,569 people in the USA and Canada. (Merritt Clifton, Dog Attack Deaths & Maimings, U.S. & Canada, 1982-2018 Log.) They killed over 80% of all Americans who are killed by dogs. (Colleen Lynn, 2015 U.S. Dog Bite Fatalities, at http://www.dogsbite.org/dog-bite-statistics-fatalities-2015.php.)

Published, peer-reviewed studies in authoritative journals of psychology and forensic science establish that pit bull owners as a whole -- statistically -- are more likely to be socially deviant, engage in crimes involving children, domestic violence, alcohol abuse, and violent crimes against other persons. (Jaclyn E. Barnes, Barbara W. Boat, Frank W. Putnam, Harold F. Dates, and Andrew R. Mahlman, Ownership of High-Risk ("Vicious") Dogs As a Marker for Deviant Behaviors, J. Interpersonal Violence, Volume 21 Number 12, December 2006 1616-1634, abstract at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17065657;

Compression artifacts will exist as long as we use lossy video compression. You can however eliminate visible to the eye artifacts with high enough bitrate, but that has always been the case.

Considering the ungodly size of raw video or even video with lossless compression, we will need lossy compression for the next century.

It will only change if the bandwidth and storage become practically free, which would require some unforseen breakthrough in technology.

This is quite a bit worse than kicking a puppy. Of course, it's horrible when puppies get kicked but ultimately they will be on. This, on the other hand would be a major set back to humanity, potentially permanent as our rights and privacy are erroded day by day.

That legitimately reads like it was written by a teenager who played a bunch of strategy games.

So much of it is "this is how it will be" in a prescriptive tone as if you can just will things into existence.

You could describe perfect capitalism in this exact manner, but obviously things don't work in real life according to your perfect scenario.

Only 7.1 billion out of 44 billion is from outside investments. The remaining ~36 billion was paid by Musk.

People need to stop with the conspiracies. Musk isn't playing 4d chess by tanking Twitter, he's just an idiot.
