You also see the international fallout of this in England and Norway. Maybe that was also a factor, back when the US might have cared about allies.

For many of these, WebAssembly is critical to either their entire product or a major feature.

But I think this alone is not very convincing. We don’t yet see major websites entirely built with webassembly-based frameworks.

Why should it be necessary to build things only in wasm for the web? JS is a really good language for building frontends. There is a reason why lots of companies prefer building native applications with React. People always complain about framework bloat with JS, but then we want to hype up shipping huge wasm binaries? Just for basic interaction in a UI?

Wasm is doing great, inside and outside the browser. But it won’t replace JS because there’s no reason to do so.

Others mentioned good points but don’t really capture the scale or techniques. A high volume DDoS may even overwhelm the network equipment, so simply saturating the network with garbage traffic. On the smaller scale, a server has limited resources to handle connections. So in the most extreme case, you simple run out of memory to store all the incoming requests. More likely you exhaust a thread pool or run out of connection handles. This “breaks” the server as it may not have resources left to recover to a working state even after the attack has stopped.

As for techniques, DDoS don’t just spam genuine requests. Usually the requests are malformed to have the worst impact on the servers. For example you only send the connection request without completing the full handshake. Now the server has to wait until the connection times out which consumes resources for a potentially long time.

Ah yes, those expensive PC games. Much cheaper on console and on the first party stores of the publishers, yes yes.

Eh not really. Those are not some minimal wage employees that have no choice but to work for them. They are highly skilled and sought-after employees. Should companies be forced to employ people even when they do not need them? Sounds pretty silly to me. Instead just give everyone basic universal income and let them do something they choose.

I get your sentiment and I don’t really like Bending Spoons either. But the reality is that they buy somewhat failing business that have absurd costs that they cannot offset with their revenue. Most tech companies are way too large for the things they do. That’s how Bending Spoons succeed; because they can get the same or more revenue with a fraction of the man power.

They don’t really “coast” on the income. They have the engineering and desire to run their investments very long term. Of course they still fire almost everyone, so if you even get a hint of them trying to acquire your company you should start looking elsewhere…

Quite a few early employees of Bending Spoons are Ex-Google, but it’s not a conspiracy to squash some irrelevant competition. Just business/greed

I mean no one would threaten war because they didn’t receive the Nobel Peace price. So I feel like common sense isn’t what it used to be

Is there a version without the annoying caption?

This devalues the currency making it harder to import things and if no one buys your exports you’ll have a very very sad economy. Printing money is possible but has very serious repercussions if you just yolo.

Debian is what you get if “dad getting off the couch noise” was a Linux distro.

I have induction and this is certainly true. The surface only gets heated by the pot on top. So only after a long time does it get very hot and never even close to a regular electric stove.

I disagree. You are right that through federation and open source you can create your instance if another instance is a nazi bar. But now you open your new bar. Should you buy chairs from the nazis for your bar? Is it not a problem if the nazis are the only ones producing chairs?

That is to me the analogy with lemmy. Yes I don’t have to be on .ml. But I don’t want to sit on the transphobic, genocide denier built chair either.

Technology and society don’t exist in separate spheres and we should always consider them together.

So go with piefed if you can. I haven’t had any complaints since I switched :)

Try Dota 2, the current patches are very fun

Now I can’t speak for a availability or how you can get insurance to pay for it in the US. I mean you don’t even have to have insurance in the US?

But most of your other points are BS my guy…

1. Not that important and a doctor might have suggestions here already
2. The only required stuff should be the same you need to provide any doctor
3. In Europe insurance or doctors will help with that as well
4. You might need to try a few different therapists but they are professionals. They can deal with you
5. Therapy doesn’t necessarily require a regular appointment schedule
6. 🙄
7. Same as 5.
8. Again, sucks if you are in the US. In Europe you can take sick leave and go to a facility for multiple weeks at a time if you have severe issues.

If you financially or through some other means cannot do it, sure. But most of the western world has decent access. So go to therapy. Women manage somehow.

Not sure if it’s very different in the US, but at least in Europe a lot more women use to opportunity to go to therapy compared to men. I.e. there is space if you look for it.

And for your second point, psychology is a science. Not without flaw, just like any other science. But it certainly works, especially if the patient puts in the work.

Hm TIL, fair enough. Thanks.

But chaining still seems harder than CommandA | ForEach-Object { DoSomethingWith $_ } | CommandB

I take PowerShell ForEach-Object any day over the unholy contraptions of awk, xargs and friends in bash.
