It's a bit confusing.

Roughly:

* a refactor of Node.js, but using a standardized API for JS engine interop * Integration with the Wasmer CLI so it will run JS with v8 but, everything else in Webassembly

Interesting idea.

Could be a much lighter weight way to sandbox JS...

Hmm, I tried it out.

> wasmer app create --template=static-website

gets you from empty folder to initialized template and deployed static website in like 10 seconds when logged in.

Pretty nice.

I have the opposite experience.

Outdated comments are often way worse than no comments, because they can give you wrong ideas that aren't true anymore, and send you off in the wrong direction before you finally figure out the comment was wrong.

Maybe.

But if you always discount such events as coincidences, you risk remaining blind to emerging patterns.

Regardless of how this went, I see the mega-corp development over the last 10+ years as very concerning long-term.

Companies like FAAMG just grow and grow, to the point where they completely dominate markets in mono/oligopolies. This enables them to either buy up or destroy any kind of competition before it becomes noteworthy, cementing their positions for many decades. Not to speak of the political bargaining/lobbying power.

Regulators need to stop allowing corporations to expand into ever-more domains and become so dominant through shear measure of size and capital they can throw around.

Gaming is an interesting space here. Microsoft has become one of three major players. They are buying up big studios like Bethesda, and are pushing hard for a future where you don't own any games and can only rent them for playing on Windows, Xbox or via streaming.

Right now GamePass is an incredible deal, but things would look quite different if Xbox wasn't the underdog.

Reddit is your best bet.

Some language subs are horrible, but the smaller ones are often great and informative.

> Who can do 25 cores in the mobile phone industry?

I'm actually curious why we have not seen many-core devices. Typical desktop CPUs still only have 4-8 cores, as do mobile devices. (disregarding the many small hardware-management cores like SSD controllers, GPU management, modems, ...)

Why not have many more cores with different performance profiles, that then are dedicated to various tasks. Like a bunch of low power, in-order cores for background OS management or background apps like Slack that just check for new messages and send notifications, ...

Naively I would assume:

* the increased hardware complexity (wiring, caches, ...) makes this both cost and power budget prohibitive

* current operating systems are not really built for that world

* the benefits compared to current big/little designs with two hands full of cores are not worth the effort

Maybe someone knowledgable can offer more insight?

It's nice to get a semi-official confirmation of AWS pricing strategy: create lock in, then overcharge.

Flutter Web does it's own rendering via canvas, so accessibility is off the table for now and there is no easy path to get there.

That alone should kill it for most production use unless it's an internal tool.

("should" because many apps sadly just don't care)

edit: I was wrong, see below. Glad to be wrong actually, because Flutter is great.

All of those are self-hosted.

"Core" is the free community edition. The others are not open source/free and require payment.

Core is plenty for most use cases. That table makes it look like it has almost no features, but most items in the list are either advanced or pretty niche.

Wikimedia will self-host Gitlab. They can use whatever limits they want.
