Re:How Shopify Uses WebAssembly Outside of the Browser on Saturday December 19, 2020 @11:25AM (#25478418)
I think it is why they have gone with AssemblyScript as the main supported language. Since it is similar to Typescript, Web developers will likely have a easier time learning it.
Re:Ask HN: Why are there no open source 2d printers? on Thursday October 15, 2020 @06:08AM (#24786839)
Yes but then you have to buy cartridges from the manufacturer who has the control to say there are empty when in fact they are not. It is a completely closed ecosystem. I believe customers deserve better alternatives.

Ask HN: Why are there no open source 2d printers?

from the ask-hn dept.

In the 3D printing world, there are plenty of open source choices, allowing manufacturers to drive down costs. On the other hand, it seems 2d printing is stuck with legacy companies with completely closed drivers and hardware (you have to buy cartridges from the original manufacturer).Apart from the nozzle why is it hard to manufacture and/or design?

Re:Honda quits F1, invests in carbon-free tech instead on Monday October 05, 2020 @03:21AM (#24685342)
I think this is mostly to give teams with smaller budgets a fighting chance against teams like say Mercedes who have an astronomical budget and could finance R&D all year long.

Have you heard about Weld[1] ?

It is an ongoing effort to built an intermediary representation that numerical library could share to produce an optimized instructions tree.

Re:Ask HN: Did you try Brave browser, What are your thoughts? on Wednesday February 27, 2019 @07:29AM (#19262800)
I use it on mobile. Almost the same experience as chrome but with ad-blocking and anti-tracking enabled. However, i still use Firefox on PC.
