As for When to abstract, you particularly want to deduplicate code that implements logic (as opposed to boilerplate code).
It’s much more likely for this kind of code to require changes or bug fixes over time and therefore for the separate versions to drift apart.

I’ve also found that you should still lean strongly towards deduplicating code, because it isn’t just you who needs to know to change both versions of a code snippet. Your colleagues need to know, too, including those who join the project later. And the chance of this working out as intended, is practically zero. If you have duplicated code, you need to assume that multiple versions of it will exist.

Yeah, that is precisely why I assume they don’t feel secure in their own standing, because it would be trivial to say “you do you” and continue doing what they feel is right. It’s not like I’m attacking them, just stating what my choice is.

Well, there’s a separate technology stack for virtualization. So, it would be similar in effect, but the way you get there is different, and it’s possible that it performs better or worse for certain scenarios.

End-users can use e.g. waydro.id to run Android apps on Linux.

I’m not deep into Android development, but I doubt it’s possible to just port an app without basically a complete rewrite. Android has an own layer on top of the JVM, called Zygote, and there’s presumably lots of system libraries which the Android apps implicitly depend on, for handling graphics and whatnot, which make tons of assumptions about running on an Android device.

Pretty sure my work laptop tells me every time that I’m not getting some security upgrades, because I’m not using Ubuntu Pro.

I believe, there’s some semi-reasonable justification, that they’re only holding back upgrades for packages which they wouldn’t normally maintain anymore, but yeah, it still looks horrendous from an end-user perspective.

Huh, it really is like spoken English after all.

I’ve also found less-overly-sweet cookies help, both in terms of not craving them as badly and actually somewhat filling you up compared to the amount of calories you consume.

Unfortunately, it’s quite tricky to find such cookies in the shops.

I guess, you didn’t necessarily say otherwise, but there’s still a high chance that the app offers worse accessibility, even if you’ve configured everything correctly. Being able to freely manipulate the rendering in your browser, rather than having to live with what the app/OS devs allow you to configure, is crucially important for many accessibility needs.

Das Video ist 56 Sekunden lang und einigermaßen witzig, also wenn du dir das Buffern geben kannst, dann kann man das schon mal anschauen.

Aber ja, das Rezept ist ein anderes. Da wird mit Seidentofu und Hafermilch gearbeitet. Kichererbsenmehl habe ich aber zufällig zu Hause und wollte damit sowieso mal noch mehr herumexperimentieren, daher probiere ich mal dein Rezept. Danke! 🙂

Edit: tatsächlich im Laden doch Seidentofu gefunden. Anscheinend hilft es wenn man die Augen aufmacht. Das Rührtofu mit Kichererbsenmehlkleister war aber auch sehr gut.

The way I lobby for that is by not buying products that are harmful.

Hmm, Seidentofu habe ich noch nie irgendwo gefunden.

Als ich es mal ohne gemacht hatte, war’s einigermaßen zäh, aber hatte auch versucht den Tofu leicht anzubraten und dabei wahrscheinlich nicht genug Hitze…

That’s kind of hilarious. At first we had VMs to run entirely separate operating systems. Then we had Containers to separate everything except the kernel. And now we might get separation for just the kernel.

Except for laws of physics and math and such. 🙃

Eh, seems like cool tribal facepaint.

My guess is that due to the economic situation and also climate crisis situation, people do more things they don’t feel comfortable with morally, and so when you’re the guy who thinks about what’s morally right or wrong, your existence confronts them with their wrongdoing.

So, it’s their own actions they don’t like, but they can just not think about it until you show up.

That’s my pet theory anyways. Being clean-edge and vegan, I’ve had that experience a lot…

This isn’t supposed to be readable code, by the way.

I actually doubt that somewhat. The language models do still go off of words to a large degree.

Yeah, that sounds about right for what I remember, too.

Huh, I swear I’ve seen a version of this comic where the shopkeeper has been robbed blind in the last panel.

As the other comment said, outside the browser WASI is what does IO. As for DOM access in the browser, I doubt they want to reimplement the DOM API, because:

• It’s insanely complex. This wouldn’t be done within one release, but rather take years to add a substantial amount of APIs.
• No one wants to have to maintain two versions of the DOM API documentation. You’d need to basically translate the entirety of MDN to some WASM API description. And in the end, hardly anyone would read it either way, because they’re likely using some wrapper library to interact with the API.
• If you’re using such a wrapper library anyways, it hardly matters to most people, whether this library generates JS API calls or some WASM API calls.

I try to stay as far away from JS as possible, and I do not think it’s worth developing a WASM DOM API. With a competent framework, you can develop complex web-UIs without ever touching JavaScript, which is good enough for me.
