Sorta off topic, but I wonder if a CPU with WASM bytecode as its native instruction set could be more performant / power-efficient than JIT-ing WASM code to ARM/x86 assembly. My understanding is that modern processors comes with a wide range of optimization tricks like register renaming, out-of-order, superscalar, ... such that it's probably just easier to JIT WASM bytecode to the native instruction set, so we'd get those optimizations for free, as opposed to design your own WASM CPU with those same optimizations.
"Die by suicide" is preferable to "commit suicide" or "killed themselves" because it shifts the cause from the person to the circumstances that led to the act. In many cases, suicide is not intentional, but is brought upon by (mental illness / other circumstances) in which the person sees suicide as the only way out. Therefore, "kill themselves" implies they willingly choose suicide and is responsible for it, as opposed to "die by suicide", which implies the person is a victim.
This article provides a good overview on why this is the case, and I resonate to it a lot: https://www.nbcnews.com/better/health/why-mental-health-advo...
For pedantic readers, it's not clear in this case if the person chose suicide by themselves, or were driven to it. Regardless, I'd still err on the caution side.
* AppleWin, Apple's port of WebKit for use in iTunes for Windows. I'm pretty sure it depends on DLLs that reimplements Cocoa APIs on Windows, those DLLs are shipped with iTunes. (edit: one can download the support libraries here [2])
* WinCairo, maintained by Sony and uses Cairo for rendering. Maybe someone can fill me in why is this a thing, since Sony only uses WebKit on the PlayStations.

(and for the record, the M1 has 8 threads while the i9 has 16, counting hyperthreads. Not sure if that has anything to do with C++ compilation performance)
