my work computer has an i7 and discrete gpu but also a spinning storage drive because they are "testing ssds to see if they are faster"

They actually bought an SSD for every employee but so far they haven't been able to throw them across the room as quickly as spinning disk drives so further testing is required.

In microbiology class we had a month of learning about how to count bacteria and it turns out if you rub your hands together real good it's like 99% as effective as hand sanitizer.

at motorola i was due for a new laptop and i begged for a 128 SSD and they said bbbbbut dont you want the GIGABYTES? SSDS ARE SO EXPENSIVE and sure as poo poo, eight months in that stupid 640gb platter drive died and i was benched for four days while they provisioned me a new computer. Nice savings, idiots

mystes posted:Asm.js has essentially been replaced by webassembly. It took a while but it's starting to be usable now. It's probably not going to kill javascript any time soon though. ah so i guess the pipe dream of having a asm.js VM running on top of the linux kernel or something to solve portability once and for all was just that

opposite. asm.js is a complicated mess (because javascript) and web rear end is designed to replace it with something not terrible

mystes posted:Wasn't the point of asm.js basically that it translated easily to machine code in the first place? more easily than javascript, which is from the "everything is an object, and by object i mean hash table" school of plang design. it turns out to be hard in the general case to convert an unbounded number of hash table lookups into something sane like a pointer dereference that's not really a knock on javascript's design, though. eich had no way of knowing that if you give a web dev something slow they will immediately look for expensive things to use it on

nah, there'd be a bunch of weird syntax sugaring about which people feel are necessary because balancing parenthesis is a herculean task somehow, but it would have worked out better in every way, excepting possibly that electron would have happened in like 2005 when someone took firefox and replaced the scheme interpreter with a stalin+gcc-based pipeline
