ONE RING TO RULE THEM ALL
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

overall, but right now it's just a hack on top of javascript like asm.js isn't it?
i could be out of date, as I don't do much web dev (client or server) these days. (never did much client stuff)

I wouldn't really put it like that, as I understand it the point of WASM was specifically to get away from piling things on top of JS and forever being limited by JS limitations (for example asm.js lacks 64bit integers and would have a bad time adding such a thing). There is an option to emulate WASM with an emulator written in JS, but that wasn't meant to be The Way it Works, that's just a thing so you could start using it before first-class WASM support materialized.

I see. That must be what I was thinking of as I only looked at it when it first hit the internet. Like I said, I don't do a lot of web front end/web client development, but I found it interesting.

Netflix had Serenity, the finale to the canceled Firefly series.
I had seen neither, but I heard good things.
So I got Firefly and watched it last week.
I was just getting ready to see Serenity and... NETFLIX REMOVED IT JUST LAST WEEK!
I even remember showing it to a friend on Wednesday, when she said "I can rent Serenity" (apparently a movie with the same name came out this year).
For some reason I can get Firefly in blu-ray without any problems, but Serenity is a bit more difficult...

Yea, I didn't know they remove movies.. damn!
|
|

I'm guessing their licenses to run certain content expire.

makes sense!
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, they do.
They add and remove movies regularly.
For example, not that Disney gets its own streaming service all Disney movies are being pulled from Netflix.
It's all licensing I guess.
You also don't want old movies to be in the way of new movies, so it's best to keep a limited selection.

You know someone is a video pirate if they have a copy of serenity.
that is hard to find.

I found it on blu-ray second hand somewhere
I just hope they ship as promised

Neither am I.
I think it's the most overrated series ever
It's fun, very entertaining, it's also good, but I'm missing story, drama, plot twists, element of surprise, all that.
You can watch the episodes in any order, or skip a few, and not feel like you missed anything.
I guess that was the norm in 2002, but I expect a bit more in 2019.
It gets a 9 on IMDb, but I'd probably give it an 8 and really only because the episodes are so wel made.
Perhaps it would be more accurate to rate the episodes with 8's and 9's, but the series as a whole a 7 or something.
I still want to see the movie though.
Maybe there's some story, drama, plot twists and element of surprise after all

I had the exact opposite with Cowboy Bebop.
It get's an 8.9 on IMDb and it's regarded as a classic.
The episodes are not very thrilling and sometimes even outright boring.
But it does one thing right, it sets an atmosphere using great images and music.
The last few episodes are pretty good too.
So while most episodes are a 6 or 7 at best, I'd still rate the series as a whole with a 9
Now what do Firefly and Captain Bebop have in common?
They're both space westerns
I have to get me some more of those.

Typical. Netflix rarely has what I want. Crunchyroll too. And it's worse here than in the US. They treat Europe like it's some third world shithole.
Meanwhile DFW is angry that people keep wearing the old tricorn.

I think Netflix is especially good for series.
They do have some good movies, but it's getting less now that everyone and their dog gets their own streaming service...
We have Netflix, Videoland, HBO, Amazon Prime, Disney, WB...
I can't take a subscription on all, but of course they're reluctant to share their exclusives.
Assuming they have what I want at all, like Serenity that's pretty hard to find, even in (Dutch) shops.
And that's how pirates are born
I don't want to pirate (and so far I don't), but how else am I going to see what I want to see?

F*** streaming, for exactly this.

What have you tried? Amazon.ca's got it (hard to beat $8 Canadian), so does Amazon.com (USD$15 for the 4K version, which also includes the Blu-ray)...I know I still see it regularly in local stores (not that I'm looking for it...)

I found the 4K version as well, but it's €26,99
Probably all import which won't work on European PAL players either.
I found it on Dutch "Marktplaats" though (kind of a Dutch eBay, literally translates to "market place")
