By comparison, the worst US state for heat related deaths, Nevada - a literal desert - has >10x fewer deaths per capita than Greece.

Bytecode Alliance do semi-regular streams on Youtube. I think reading (recent) material on WASI (0.3) and the Component Model would be a good start.

Understanding the relationship between a host and a guest is valuable. Learning what wasmtime is and how it works is also illuminating: https://docs.wasmtime.dev

WASM you can bundle for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS and web. Unlike Deno Desktop, it doesn't rely on a browser engine.

Webassembly solves this in the Component Model by enabling interop between packages written in different languages. And in my opinion it's sort of the perfect fit for Jumpjet's model: providing a chassis without an engine.

Jumpjet works by defining a very close mapping of WebGPU (and a few other WebIDL features) to WIT so that they can be used in any language that can target the wasm Component Model. Your game then runs as a guest application in Jumpjet's host runtime (powered by wasmtime), which shrinks final bundle size considerably versus something like Electron. Right now a bare bones game in Jumpjet is about 40mb.

Right now the project is in an alpha or possibly pre-alpha state, it's not production ready. On the commercial side, I think there's an opportunity for cloud storage, game server hosting, a package manager and/or marketplace, distribution, and more.

Right now you can target macOS, Windows, Linux, Android and iOS. (I haven't done any real testing on mobile so good luck.) The languages you can use will depend on their support for generating bindings from .wit files. There are a few templates available, I recommend one of the Rust ones.

If you are a game developer or just like tinkering, I'd love for you to try the project out and tell me what you think!

If you have been detained in a motor vehicle you are in control of, you must identify.

It doesn’t matter if they have RS for the detainment (a reason for the stop), once the traffic stop is underway you must identify.

If you feel as though the detainment was illegal, you can sue after the fact. There’s no point in trying to litigate the situation with the officer.

A Terry stop includes detainments of pedestrians, who do not have an obligation to identify in most states.

Now they don’t have probable cause for an arrest based on the original crime they stopped you for, but your day is still ruined.

For example, you are required to provide identification when operating a vehicle at a traffic stop. No exceptions. Don’t get hung up on the reason for the stop, it doesn’t matter. Additionally, police can articulate in virtually any situation that they fear for officer safety, which is reason enough in many states to order you out of the vehicle. At this point they have a foundation to frisk you for a weapon.

Resisting at any point of this is very risky.

Understanding when and where an officer doesn’t have the legal authority to do the above gets very nuanced. But generally I encourage Americans to learn the rights they have when operating a car seeing as their lives revolve around driving.
