Hey, there's no point in quoting Russians when discussing scientific advancements -- they claim they invented everything (as even Star Trek noted).
There's equally no point in quoting Americans, either (as they're even worse).
So Scots, Italians, Englishmen, Poles, and Germans only, please. In that order (the Scottish guy couldn't see all the others, way over there).

WebAssembly not that popular: Only 1,639 sites of the Top 1 Million use WebAssembly. The other half are demos used in training articles

Taking "good" as the antonym of "malicious", I can't think of a good use for webassembly.

It's a year evenly divisible by 5, so "rethinking programming" it is!
Next year: why <new programming language> will fix all our problems.
In 2022: I have this new way of programming, which is just like using LEGOs....

From the article:
We need to rethink the role of the programmer
Look for the industry to become more stratified and specialized.
Uh, that has been happening every year, month, week since the Web appeared.

This isn’t your typical Threadripper, and it’s really designed for high-end desktop computing and creative tasks. This might rip a few threads
"AMD is including 64 cores, 128 threads, a 2.9GHz base clock with boosts up to 4.3GHz, and 288MB total cache."
Thinking back to my first 1MHz 6502 and whatever that 8088 clock speed was...

it must really rip off....

I can't help but wonder how many apps/drivers can handle 128 threads, and how frequently they crash.
The T'rippy AMD guys must be T'rippin'!

I am not sure article headline writer understood their pricing decision, took me a few minutes to realise.
For others, what is the model number?

As usual, the best option is still to switch wupdate off.
It avoid tons of problems.

Has there been a windows update in the last five years that hasn't caused major problems for lots of people?
As far as I can tell, the situation is either:
a: It's a marketing ploy, based on the core marketing principle "no news is bad news" If a number of users (usually less than 10%) have problems because of each update, then at least windows is being continually talked about (and the unaffected 90% feel lucky/superior/special/whatever). We already know how bad the ms marketing morons are, so this would not surprise me.b: It's an interdepartmental game, where one department each update has to "prove themselves" by causing problems for as close as possible to a randomly-selected number of users.
I know that ascribing malice to things where total, utter, and complete stupidity and incompetence are a strong possibility may be unwise, but I have a dreadful feeling that a: may be the case.

MIT researchers have invented a machine-learning tool that predicts how fast computer chips will execute code from various applications. This tool says, "not fast enough"
|
|
|
|

If a computer comprised a single chip, this would actually be extremely useful.
As it is, it will probably bring on a glut of apps that are optimised for "chips", but which perform like cr@p because they handle memory badly, are too short-sighted for most video cards, overload buses, view clouds as castles in the air, etc.
Markie's seeing-all ball predicts that this will cause more problems than it will solve.
They might as well have spent their time on deciding the optimal colour for laptop cases. At least that would only cause fashion problems, which probably won't, in most cases, stop your computer working.
