Porting vanilla (minimal external API usage, no SIMD, no threading) C++ code to work in the browser with emscripten and WebAssembly is amazingly simple now. The Emscripten docs are excellent, but here are some things that could speed up the process of getting started:

1. Beware of code which does unaligned memory reads/writes (which "may be slow on some CPU architectures")
2. Test with -fsanitize=undefined -fsanitize=address
3. Link with "-s ALLOW_MEMORY_GROWTH=1" and "-s INITIAL_MEMORY=X", X is a multiple of 64k, allows the C++ heap to grow.

(I completely avoid unaligned memory reads/writes because when compiled to asm.js they "can fail silently".)

4. Link with "-s MALLOC=emmalloc" to reduce compiled size.
5. I usually test with -O1 because -O0 can take very long to load/execute.
6. For debugging link with -s DEMANGLE_SUPPORT=1 and -s ASSERTIONS=1

7. C++ printf() outputs to the Developer Console: Chrome Settings->More tools->Developer tools
8. If something crashes, try running in Firefox which may explain the error differently.

Soooo, I'm so exciting to present my own version of the magnetic connection for @UltHackKeyboard!

Inspired by https://t.co/xRG70VmsPk and https://t.co/koCfb4sRDv

So, I've used NetDot Gen10 Micro USB for the task.

I unwrapped one of the micro USB father part and get rid of the plastic in it.

I've decided to glue it on RJ10 socket, as far as I've found, this is the best place to put the second socket. Yep, I'm still have the default one miniusb!

To have an even surface, Ive cut a little bit the trails on RJ10

I've found it challenging to solder wires to the magnetic connector's pins, so made it in the another way.

I've made holes in wires with a needle. So then just put wires ON pins.

The next. Glueing a socket to the RJ10. Since the force profile will change, it's necessary to enforce the RJ socket. So I've glued it on the perimeter.

Then the mag-usb is put to the socket. It's the only fixing thing for wires on usb. Glue for the God Of Glue!!

"He takes opportunities. I need an opportunist."
This is a thread about Paolo Rossi and Enzo Bearzot.
The astonishing journey from shame to fame during a week's time.
And why he will remain forever special.

April 28, 1982.
The World Cup in Spain is exactly 45 days away.
Paolo Rossi has not played competitive football for two years and no one expects him to be in the squad for the World Cup.
Match-fit and well prepared players are required for a tournament of such stature.

It all began in 1980.
While on loan to Perugia from Lanerossi Vicenza, Rossi had been accused of accepting money to influence the outcome of Perugia's game against Avellino.

The investigation found him guilty.
A three-year ban.
Later reduced to two.
Juventus bought the shamed striker. Got him rather on the cheap.
He was free to play again on April 29, 1982.

He appears in the final three games of Juventus' championship winning season.
He looks good but surely not good enough to go to Spain!
But Enzo Bearzot, Italy's pipe-chomping manager has other ideas.
"He takes opportunities. I need an opportunist."

Pan Borneo Highway Sarawak:

Review as of 10 December 2020. Been getting queries on road conditions so here goes.

*Personal driving experience with a small car. Hilux different story.

Kilo Nol: Tg Datu- Sematan

Complete, gorgeous but not dual lane.

Sematan-Lundu: Gravelly, some smooth stretches.

Lundu-Bau: SHIT. Steep drops, gravelly and potholed. Dark at night. Just use Rambungan-Sampadi ferry instead, worth the detour for your car's sake.

Bau-Singai-Batu Kawa (Kuching)
Diversions plenty, but drivable

Kuching:
Stephen Yong - Kota Padawan
Road ok, clear diversion. Flyovers all in various stages of completion. Traffic clogs at Kota Sentosa and 10th Mile.

Kuching-Serian
11th Mile onwards complete, onwards to Serian

Serian: Roads still in the works but looks almost complete except for stretch going uphill/downhill after Ampungan.

Serian Bypass (flyover 1 & 2) both complete! Can zip and go straight out of town.

Simpang Gedong - Pantu Junction

Heaven is a place like this. Both dual lanes complete, but as of now only one side is open. Smooth, no diversions, blissful 120km/hour speed.

Then it starts to get patchy here and there (Balai Ringin, Sg. Tenggang)

Lachau: Bad, uneven, gravel.

There's this young couple I have known for a while. I see the way they dote on each other.

It is very rare you see the husband without the wife and even if the wife appeared first, the husband was never far behind.

During church service you would see them eyeing each other.

I recall during a Sunday Service in which his wife was to take the Bible Reading, I could remember him blowing her a phantom kiss as she climbed the pulpit.

It was her blush and smile that made me look at him only to see him making faces at her.

It was beautiful.

As Men's fellowship leader back then, I teased him a lot and told him in all honesty how many men are learning how to treat their wives.

He sighed and said "Bro., it was not always like that initially. Our first year as a married couple was a disaster".

"Let me tell you a story and then you would understand why I cherish this woman so. I know that God has said a husbands should love their wives but I never understood that love". He said.

Deep down, I was always afraid I would make a bad husband and an even terrible father.

During our first year, this man you are looking like this had been celibate for 4 years since I met my wife.

No other woman interested me - NONE! However, as I got married, my ex came out of nowhere and we opened communication.

I told myself "Nothing can happen".

I was wrong

It's (nearly) five years since the Paris Agreement was gaveled through… but was it any good? Tricky question. Based on emissions, temperature data and impacts, no. *But...* (thread)

The team at @SystemIQ_LTD have crunched the numbers & reviewed how far + fast sectors have shifted since 2015. Their take is the global economy could be a decade away from seismic tipping points that see the world move fast towards low carbon.

In 2015, zero-carbon technologies and business models could rarely compete with incumbent carbon-solutions. In 2020, zero-carbon solutions are competitive in sectors representing around 25% of emissions. In 2030 the figure’s looking like 70%.

What does this mean for a COVID-smashed world, where 2021 is shaping up to be a hellish mix of recessions and mass unemployment? Well, the 2020s could see a net increase of 35 million low carbon jobs if governments roll out the right policies + invest wisely.

Can the low carbon acceleration be pinned to Paris? Not entirely, but partly. In 2014 no-one talked of net zero targets. Now 120+ countries either have these plans or are working on them. By mid 2021 the US, China, EU, UK, Japan, Korea, Canada will have these targets.

New from me: Co-op is quietly using facial recognition cameras to scan everyone entering shops. The tech is being in 18 stores and has been used for about 18 months. It's using tech from Facewatch, which says Co-op has the "best" watchlist in the UK

Adding some more details since this is getting some attention.

Here's how it works:

– CCTV captures people’s faces as they enter shops. These images are converted to a faceprint. This is basically a string of data, which is compared against a watchlist. Matches are flagged

– All the stores have signage about the tech, the company says
– The system doesn't retain everyone's data, it only keeps info about people who are added to watchlists

– The Co-ops in question are all part of the Southern Co-op franchise. It says the ones using FR are inner-city stores, with high crime levels
– The justification is crime against staff has risen. Since the tech has been used it says 3,000 incidents of theft have been diverted

– The watchlists used are created by Co-op and include images of people "known to have offended within our premises, including those who have been banned/excluded". Co-op decides who is put on the watchlist. Data on watchlists is stored for two years

Here what MI6 has to say about the so-called C19 crisis:

“We see the creation of the public health emergency and the proposed responses or remedies as Ordo ab Chao in Stealth State Capture at a global level.
