WebAssembly support is pretty solid now. But who is actually using WebAssembly? A thread of use cases across companies:
eBay - Used WebAssembly in their barcode scanner to improve listing flow in their web app:

Figma - the collaborative interface design tool leveraged WebAssembly and improved load time by 3x regardless of document size:

AutoCAD - Took a 35 year old code base and compiled it for the web using WebAssembly:

Unity - Switched to WebAssembly from asm.js when compiling for their WebGL target and reduced code size, improved performance and allowed memory usage to grow at runtime:

Esri - a geospatial software company, uses WebAssembly for reprojecting geometries into different projection systems on the client:

Google Earth - Using WebAssembly allowed the team to bring the application to more browsers:

Squoosh App - from the Chrome Labs team, a web based image compression application which launches almost instantly

#Thread #Kurukshetra #Analytics #Mahabharata
Started a fun project of mine today. Recording the duels of Kurukshetra war in an excel sheet in anticipation of some interesting pattern. Watch this space for interesting tidbits. Full exercise may take quite a while
Interesting Results! #Kurukshatra #Analytics. So many duels without a declared result on Day One
Could record two general battles and 26 duels on Day One. Only 6 of those duels ended decisively. Pandava side suffered horribly in the hands of Bhishma. Uttara killed in the hands of Shalya. Saving grace being Abhimanyu countering Bhishma and winning over Brihadbala #Kurukshetra

Neil Lennon and the Celtic managerial position...
Seven League games
Seven League goals
Three 0-0 draws
Four wins
Two wins in injury time
One win in the 87th minute vs 10 man Rangers
One straight forward win (vs St Mirren)
Two Cup games, two very good wins but both times Lennon's Celtic have had to rely on an individual piece of brilliance in the form of 25 yard screamers from James Forrest to break the deadlock

[Thread] The -isms: a very generalized guide. I've wanted to do this for a long time, sparked by how often "#socialism" is thrown about as a catch-all for a variety of vastly different philosophies. I hope BEGIN a #Threaducation here. So, let's talk about this.
First off, let me be CLEAR: These are complex ideas and I am just trying to give a brief overview of the basic distinctions for those who don't know and (hopefully) for those who throw all these ideas together. I make no real endorsements, just try to point out all sides.
It is my FERVENT hope that #AcademicTwitter, #Twitterstorians, political scientists, and philosophers will step up and contribute to this #Thread or use it as a jumping off point for deeper explanations (and/or corrections) of my admittedly general summaries.

Did you know there are now 4 Modular Refinery projects ongoing across the Niger Delta, under the Buhari Administration’s New Vision for the Niger Delta?

The idea is for the FG to support development of Modular Refineries, as an alternative to illegal artisanal refining
#Thread
All private sector projects of course, with the support of the Federal Government- licensing, fasttracking bureaucratic processes etc.

These Modular Refineries will have significant positive economic impact on their host communities - jobs, skills.
The 4:

1. Niger Delta Petroleum Resources Refinery, Ogbele, Rivers State - expanding from 1,000bpd to 10,000bpd

2. OPAC Modular Refinery in Kwale, Delta State

3. Waltersmith Petroman Oil Refinery, Ohaji/Egbema LGA, Imo State.

4. Ikwe-Onna Modular Refinery, Akwa Ibom
