I mean it's very lopsided in the sources it accepts.

Huffing Post and Jezebel are acceptable sources?!?

Wasm is ANYTHING but basic.

Fuck javascript, fuck wasm, fuck html, fuck css.

Rebase it all on XML/XPath/XQuery that way you only need ONE parser, one simple engine.

This whole kitchen sink/full blown OS nonsense needs to end.

Edit: You’re clearly a wasm shill, wasm is an abomination that needs to die.

That sort of bug wouldn’t be caught by rust, and his example of making two return structs and using them in that way would work in C too.

I disagree.

Comments are to explain why, not how.

Links dead, it just goes to the home page and says something about hacker news being neither hackers nor news.

New comment by KingLancelot in "Converting a large mathematical software package written in C++ to C++20 modules"

KingLancelot — Tue, 01 Jul 2025 19:08:52 +0000

To be fair, C++’s modules make no sense, just like their namespaces that span multiple translation units.

It’s just more heavy clunky abstractions for the sake of abstractions.

It gets rid of SLS which costs $4 BILLION PER LAUNCH.

Apple started the Clang project buddy, you’ve got your cause and effect backwards.

Silicon, silicone is fake boob plastic.

And that’s a blatant lie from Apple, if anything, the GPU shares memory with the CPU therefore Apple Silicon needs MORE memory, not less.

Not the way to do this.

Accelerators already have a common middle layer.

Steve Jobs wanted nuclear war with Google (not Samsung) because Eric Schmidt was on Apple’s board of directors while the iPhone was being developed, so Jobs felt Schmidt was basically doing insider trading for google to develop Android.

Except Mozilla did it twice IIRC.

And it really doesn’t matter whst conventional wisdom holds, when the architecture of a project is based on flawed assumptions, or things just changed since it was architected.

It has to be majorly refactored, period.

It’s not about the hardware, that’s what you windows and android guys refuse to understand.

Yes, the hardware is good, great in fact (seriously, the MacBook Pro’s screen is insane)

But it’s about MacOS/iOS.

Once you start using MacOS/iOS on a daily basis, you never want to go back to Windows/android bloated, ad infected bullshit.

KingLancelot — Tue, 31 Oct 2023 20:23:47 +0000

I think my 2014 MacBook on MacOS 12.5 was affected by this too.

I had Ubuntu installed in a second partition and it refuses to boot ever since I installed 12.5.1 on it.
