How come it works with humans? Give seasoned engineers a spec and they'll create a working product. Many software companies are created and guided on the verbal directions of people who don't code.
One of the few benefits of monarchy is the development of haute cuisine, since the monarchs don't want to eat like the hoi polloi. This culinary tradition eventually escapes the palace and percolates through society.
I did not see it but I was not affected since I had pinned the tag and used a cool down; practices whose value I reminded my coworkers of with this post.
Pinning the tag will not save you - the tags were force-pushed. The cooldown probably did save you but you should check for the indicators of compromise listed on the security advisory page.
Great question! I actually have built a poc that is not released yet. It's on the roadmap. It requires some tooling for the devs building these plugins like a CLI for building the WASM binaries, bundling, manifests, etc.
The current poc still has significant performance overhead, and that overhead grows as the plugin system becomes more powerful. If plugins are only allowed to apply a WGSL shader, the performance impact is almost negligible. But features that require broader access to timeline data, such as time shifts, speed ramps, or full timeline transformations, become much more expensive and make zero-copy architectures harder to reason about.
I added CONTRIBUTING.md. I also took a look at OpenFX. My current view is that supporting OFX in the browser would be hard, since the standard and its existing tooling are not designed around wgpu or browser execution. Tooscut would likely need its own plugin model rather than adopting OFX as is.
That said, I would be very interested in hearing your thoughts if you are open to contributing or discussing what a practical plugin system should look like in this environment. Please file a GitHub issue if you can
Funny you say that. As I was using it at a hotel, I was just reflecting on how poorly designed the average kettle is, with the stationary handle on the top and a spout guard: https://stock.adobe.com/video/hot-cup-tea-kettle/189747353
Once the water is boiled, you flip the guard, and get your first scalding. Pour the water and get a nice splash of steam due to the fixed position of the handle as it rises up past your hand. And refilling the kettle is yet another opportunity to get scalded, as the handle gets in the way of your efforts to remove the lid.
Electric kettles are much better designed, and are what the parent comment is talking about. This [0] is the canonical white-labeled kettle that you can have for 30 of your hard-earned canukistanian kopeks, and are the average kettle around here. No scalding since the lid's handles are deep enough that you can open it on an angle to direct the steam away from you. Big handle on the side instead of the top. Switch on the bottom away from hot metal casing. And the kettle just lifts off the base, so you're not futzing around with a cable while pouring hot water.
I haven't seen a stove top kettle since the 1970s. And they were an old design then. I have never seen one in a shop either. A typical electric kettle has the handle at the back and spout at the front. There isn't really anyway to come into contact with steam in normal use. They are cheap, safe and fast.
Thats certainly an iconic kettle look, but I'm not sure I'd call it the average kettle. I don't think ive ever seen someone actually use a kettle like that. Maybe many decades ago.
I use one much like this four or five times a day, and have none of the problems described. I fill it through the spout though, so never have to remove the lid.
