Agreed. Why would a person need to look it up when the name literally describes it. Directed? Means connections are in a single direction. Acyclic? A-cyclic = non-cyclical, doesn’t have cycles. Graph is… well a graph.

Which part does the author think an average programmer should struggle with?

Most games, image processing libraries and other compute demanding libraries already use WASM in the browser. Have been for quite some time. It’s already widely used in every case where it provides a substantial benefit.

But writing for GUI, which is what 99% of JS is used for, WASM provides little benefit. The speed bottleneck is mostly in DOM manipulation. And every web GUI framework uses 200 npm packages with something like webpack. Getting that to somehow work with your WASM code would be a nightmare if it’s even feasible.

Everything “woke” about this movie was conspicuously missing from the trailers or any promotional material. The marketing for this film has been incredibly well handled.

Because he wants to be the original, damn it!

“But mom, I want to be a Tesla founder!”

“You weren’t there when Tesla was founded”

“I want it anyway, waaaah!”.

He has the emotional maturity of a spoiled child. Once you see it, everything he does makes 10x more sense.

I am sure Anarchy will lead us to a humanitarian utopia. Definitely not to an even worse form of capitalism. No, sir.

Your analogy doesn’t work at all.

The answer you’re being asked for needs to be a solution (what can replace capitalism?). The answer in your analogy is an observation (the plane crashed).

It’s fine to not have answers, but then your position is pretty useless. A societal system is a mandatory component of our lives. You can’t get rid of it without it being replaced with something else. If we don’t replace it, then one will arise naturally.

To follow your cancer example, it’s like a cancer patient saying they don’t want chemo or radiation because it’s not good enough. When they are asked what they want to do instead they just say “I don’t have answers, I just know these treatments aren’t very good”.

Winston Churchill is quoted saying

Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those others that have been tried.

Pretty much the same applies to capitalism.

but being able to decide after the fact that you want a heated steering wheel isn’t one of them.

No one is bitching about being able to decide that you want a heated steering wheel. You can decide to install it on literally any car brand or model.

People are bitching about the hardware that they have paid for and they own being locked behind by a software paywall. This would cause a riot with practically any other consumer electronics. Imagine if the fingerprint scanner on your smartphone was an extra $50 to unlock? Or quick charge being an extra $75?

That would be the most anti-consumer horseshit we’ve seen, and that’s exactly what Tesla is doing.

when “men” were portrayed as being simultaneously incompetent at everything they do, and at the same time manipulative and power hungry

Can’t help but be reminded of something.

On a basic level the message “Ken was silly, broke Barbieworld because he wanted to emulate men, they had to get Barbie and a feminist back to fix it”

How did he break it? He basically just flipped the genders so Kens are the ruling/working class and Barbies are just subservient eye candy. Barbie just flipped it back. It’s a broken and unimaginably unfair world in either case.

When Kens ask just for a bit of equality at the end, they are shut down and given some unimportant appeasement as a joke.

That’s how communism always ends up. When you hand over majority of the power to the state, it won’t be keen on giving it back.

That’s like saying the US is not capitalist because we don’t have a true free market and better products/services don’t always rise to the top.

These simply aren’t things that can practically happen, just like the workers owning the means of production.
