Github code search blog probably resurfaced this one.

The real question is how much money did the OP made?

Whats K&R?

Kernighan & Ritchie: https://www.amazon.com/Programming-Language-2nd-Brian-Kernig...

They are useful specifically in the intelligence field like NSA(no wonder they have so much graph stuff opensourced). Let me share one obvious use case you have data on a lot of people like call data records, Facebook friends list, Twitter followers/following list and potentially a lot of other data as well. Now you have two targets person A and person B with graph databases it is a trivial one liner to find how these two people are linked. They can be linked directly or they could have 5 people between them doing the same in SQL recursive CTE is a major PIA and takes a lot of time(see degrees of kevin bacon using graph database). There are very niche companies that are making big bucks by just selling libraries/softwares just to plot these graphs and most of their customers are government agencies with a lot of funds.

I don't think recursive CTEs are that bad

Have you tried Cypher?

Where can one find the part that translate verilog to javascript? Is it open-source?

I'm too dumb to understand how would this work. Can anyone explain please. Wordpress server side is where all the magic happens data is stored and retrieved from the database. How would it look like in wasm? Will the wasm communicate with database? If so wouldn't it expose db credentials? What would the backend look like? I have so many questions

There is no backend: the database itself is SQLite in WASM living in the user's own browser.

This is more of a tech demo and test environment than something that would work as an alternative to server-side WordPress - since if you are using a CMS you generally want the results to be visible to people other than you!

It's very, very cool though.

Author here, here's an in-depth writeup on how this works and why it's useful:

To answer your questions directly:

WebAssembly is the magic sauce that transforms server-side code into client-side code. MySQL unfortunately is not yet supported by WebAssembly, so I applied a plugin that adds SQLite supports to WordPress [0]. The WebAssembly application has its own in-memory filesystem that lives in a specific browser tab and is scraped as soon as you close it.

So – technically it exposes db credentials, and even the entire DB, but that you are the only user of that DB so it's okay.

> What would the backend look like

The only backend is a static file server where the code and the database live. Your browser downloads a copy of the database and allows you to modify it in the current tab, but the updates are never saved back to the server.

This is more to play around and show off themes/plugins or test different PHP versions.

The database also runs on the client in wasm (sqlite).

But it's utterly useless if you want to put a blog online as it only runs locally in the browser and nobody else will see the posts.

What a wonderful solution. Lets pay software engineers less so they are forced to work on hardware. Why not just have higher pays for semiconductor people since they are crucial?

Because hardware business is based on real economy, instead of just pretending to be doing something useful to siphon investors money.

Well, there was Theranos. And Juicero.

> Lets pay software engineers less

That was hardly the point of the video's thesis.
