because no way I’m going to touch WASM with a 10 meter long pole

I think that you should look into WASM a little more closely because it is not web-specific at all; it is more like an alternative to the JVM that is a bit lower level and designed to be interpreted/JIT compiled more efficiently. You do not need to embed a web browser or anything similarly heavy into your app to use it; you can just use via Wasmtime, which is a library written in Rust with bindings to other languages that is officially supported by the maintainers of the WASM standard.

I disagree; I think that we do care about it being popular enough that it incentivizes software and hardware vendors to support it rather than ignoring it.

Sometimes this can help, but lately I've been running into the opposite problem where people have been following this advice to such a degree that one cannot ever figure out what is going on without having to constantly jump around to find the actual code involved in doing something.

Because some of us are bitter at the trees for generating so much pollen at this time of year and want revenge.

Spotted the INTERCAL programmer.

Because it looks like that functionality uses special compiler functionality only available on GCC and clang?

Maybe 1GB is a bit overkill, but I can say from personal experience that, of all the partitions to find out you need to resize, this one is the most painful.

"This isn't us encouraging you to gamble-it is us asking you to think about how bad you would feel years from now if you learned that you could have made a ton of money if you had only placed a bet right now! It's completely different!"

I see a lot of enthusiasm here, and there is nothing wrong with that, but... am I the only one who actually found the movie to be kind of disappointing?

No, it will be too busy making paperclips to even notice us, except as a nuisance getting in the way of it making paperclips that needs to be eliminated.

Yeah, I miss living in Australia where you didn't have your own waiter but on the other hand that meant that it wasn't rude to flag down any of the wait staff if you need anything rather than being restricted to having to go through a single person.
