Sorta off topic, but I wonder if a CPU with WASM bytecode as its native instruction set could be more performant / power-efficient than JIT-ing WASM code to ARM/x86 assembly. My understanding is that modern processors comes with a wide range of optimization tricks like register renaming, out-of-order, superscalar, ... such that it's probably just easier to JIT WASM bytecode to the native instruction set, so we'd get those optimizations for free, as opposed to design your own WASM CPU with those same optimizations.

As someone whose a close friend ended themselves, I can offer some perspectives.

"Die by suicide" is preferable to "commit suicide" or "killed themselves" because it shifts the cause from the person to the circumstances that led to the act. In many cases, suicide is not intentional, but is brought upon by (mental illness / other circumstances) in which the person sees suicide as the only way out. Therefore, "kill themselves" implies they willingly choose suicide and is responsible for it, as opposed to "die by suicide", which implies the person is a victim.

This article provides a good overview on why this is the case, and I resonate to it a lot: https://www.nbcnews.com/better/health/why-mental-health-advo...

For pedantic readers, it's not clear in this case if the person chose suicide by themselves, or were driven to it. Regardless, I'd still err on the caution side.

I was lucky enough to visit the museum at the end of 2019, just before COVID-19 hit and the museum had to shut down. Unlike the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, the machines here were fully operational and you could actually get to use them - I compiled some hello world code on a NeXTcube and I still remember that fond moment. IIRC they had systems that you can SSH in and use, but seems like they've taken that down. Must be a recent thing since I remember they were operational a year or two ago.

Needs one where you tried to scale up before realizing you had to up your quota.

I think just hovering the cursor above the zoom button for a few seconds will also trigger the left/right tiling options.

There are multiple ports of WebKit (the browser engine of Safari) on Windows [1], but two of them are still more or less maintained:

* AppleWin, Apple's port of WebKit for use in iTunes for Windows. I'm pretty sure it depends on DLLs that reimplements Cocoa APIs on Windows, those DLLs are shipped with iTunes. (edit: one can download the support libraries here [2])

* WinCairo, maintained by Sony and uses Cairo for rendering. Maybe someone can fill me in why is this a thing, since Sony only uses WebKit on the PlayStations.

SEA is a bit more diverse than just Whatsapp.

Vietnam: Facebook Messenger, Zalo (home grown IM), Viber.

One data point:

* Base amount: $180

* "Recovery fee" (which they describe in [0]): $18.5

* "Taxes and Surcharges": $3.89

You aren't opening the wrong file, there isn't much documentation in WebKit besides a few Markdown files. I'm not sure why this is the case.
