At a glance, you've been a little less than salient...

Can you even get runtime type assertions in TS? Isnt it all at compile time?

Look at the life expectancy/wealth outcomes of lottery winners. Then multiply by 1000.

Just tax them.

I dunno, I don't see the benefit to native TS in the browser. For compatibility, all sites will continue to serve JS, so what does TS gain anyone? And there is no performance benefit, maybe a performance hit given none of the type validation can happen until all of the scripts have downloaded, so execution can't begin until that has happened?

I could be way off on this though, I'm not a webdev :/

This has nothing to do with piracy...

Oom killer is in the kernel, so that definitely would be exciting.

Much shorter term, the point of the census is to know where people are and what they need, so government spending can be done effectively. No point building hospitals/centrelink/etc in areas that don't need them.

Australian census records are (opt-in) deanonymised after 100 years, so there is some historical value.

I believe, and I could be very wrong, that it kills the largest memory process. The problem is that it may not be the problematic process. You could have a well behaved DB that is using a stable 80%, and a runaway process that rapidly fills the remaining 20%, and OOM will kill the DB, and let the out of control process keep consuming memory until it becomes the largest. Then your DB is down and you don't known why.

I like the idea of just killing processes at random though. Determinism is overrated.

Up for me, your URL isnt quite right though: https://sh.itjust.works/

Edit: does seem a bit flakey though.

Maybe they are getting DDOS'd, I can now get an Anubis screen, but its broken.

Arguably typescript fits, it is converted to JS for runtime, but the developer writes TS. You theoretically could transpile python or lua to JS, no idea if it exists yet though.

Otherwise WASM would be the main contender, dunno if lua or python can compile to wasm, but lots of languages can.

So the government has a rough idea of how many non citizens are in Australia, and roughly where. So any services that non-citizens may need (tourism centres, consulates, etc) get put in the right place.

Except that most likely, it kills something completely unrelated instead.
