  1. Anything you can do in WebAssembly, you can do in JavaScript

    And roughly everything you can do in assembly you can do in C. But C does some extra work, checks or registry backups you might not need, and thus asm will be faster. Webasm is of course not as “free” as asm, but Javascript does even more checks and other side work compared to C, making it slower.

  2. the real culprit here is the CPU. Let's not stop all progress (and webasm is progress) due to other components bugs. Of course mitigation has to be implemented (by the browser), but please let webasm follow its improvement path.

  3. systemd is written in Javascript, actually

  4. patch the patch already!

  5. Yes, because when AI gets to that level, humans will have disappeared. Robots referees will referee robots players.

    Why does Algeria have so much more trouble dealing with cheating than America? Can Algeria learn anything from the American model?

    You're implying US students don't cheat, or cheat much less than Algerian students. Which is likely wrong.
